In Lieu of Something Interesting...

OK, I'm totally biting off of Linny...
Here's 100 things about me: read at your own risk!

1) I'm a generally loud person
2) I'm opinionated...especially about politics
3) I'm pretty liberal, but I don't think that either Republicans or Democrats really represent us very well
4) I try to seek out the good in everybody...but I get easily annoyed when people let me down
5) I'm sensitive
6) And bitchy at times
7) I love to work out
8) There are times in life that seem so perfect that I just want to stop and take everything in
9) And then there are times when I can only see the bad...I hate that about myself
10) I'm totally not artistic or musical at all
11) I belt out tunes in my car like I'm Tina Turner or something. But I'm clearly not Tina Turner
12) The fact that my friends/husband/family might be around to hear me doesn't deter my singing in the least
13) I'm not traditionally religious, but I do pray every day, and I thank God for my family and friends
14) I'm a touchy person. I need to be hugged a lot.
15) I once met the actual, real-life Rudy, from the movie, "Rudy." He was this totally short and stocky Italian man, and he was really easy to talk to. My husband, however, was unable to enunciate words in his presence, so I had to ask for his autograph on behalf of Kevin. So funny.
16) One night, during college, my friend Ryan dressed up in boxer shorts and a tobaggon and we drove around College Station and took pictures of him humping random things: statues, trucks, yard ornaments. We were totally sober that night.
17) I'm obsessed with my weight. I weigh myself three times a day. Would like to change that.
18) I believe this is due to the fact that I was a fat kid...and my aunt totally called me on it throughout my childhood.
19) I think it's easier to blame others for our problems (See above) than to try to change things for ourselves
20) I have the coolest family ever.
21) And the best friends ever.
22) I have my own booty shake dance that I do in the presence of family and friends, and sometimes on stage at random clubs. I've perfected and trademarked that dance.
23) I like to play sports, but I hate to watch most sports on TV.
24) I talk to myself when I'm alone in my car. I've made some of my wittiest comments when I was alone.
25) I dance by myself in my room
26) Anytime I make a big purchase, I totally suffer from buyer's remorse. I almost went into a depression after I bought myself a laptop for my birthday.
27) I believe completely in a quote that I saw on Lisa's blog. "Our lives no longer belong to us alone." I think it's our responsibility to help those in need / those less fortunate than ourselves.
28) Along those lines, I think it's irresponsible to have more than is necessary in life, when some people have nothing at all
29) That doesn't mean I'm not guilty of living in excess in certain aspects of life, but I'm trying to change that
30) I believe in ghosts...but not aliens.
31) I keep a Bonnie Rait c.d. hidden in my car, and sometimes I listen to it and sing along to "I Can't Make You Love Me"
32) My first car was a 1986 Tempo that only went to 15 mph before you had to let off of the gas and push on it again so that it would go up to 30 mph. It was pretty obvious, so I would pretend that I had a standard car and that I was shifting gears so the outside world wouldn't know I had a hooptie.
33) I love kids, but I'm petrified of being a mother
34) I'm afraid I'd royally mess up a kid right now
35) My little brother became my idol somewhere along the way. I love his artistic abilities and go-after-what-you-want attitude
36) My parents have a relationship that I admire so much. They've been married for 30 years and they still find a way to be best friends. I think that's cool
37) My mom thinks that God made sun rays just for her. So cute.
38) The only piece of gold jewelry that I own is my Aggie Ring
39) I once drank a pitcher of beer in 47 seconds...with my dad cheering me on.
40) I did it because it's a tradition at A&M that once you get your Aggie Ring, you have to dunk it in a pitcher of beer and drink the pitcher.
41) When I finished the pitcher, my dad actually shouted the words, "That's my girl! I didn't know you were my daughter until just now! Yeah!" (He was totally kidding...)
42) I like to eat salads sans salad dressing. Especially McDonald's California Cobb Salads
43) I eat parmesan cheese on popcorn
44) And cajun seasoning on pizza
45) I'm finding this list extremely hard to do...
46) It pisses me off that I'm 25 years old and still get occasional skin break-outs
47) I love talking about politics as much as any other subject
48) Kevin and I are closet-geeks. We totally watch the History Channel together
49) And then the next minute, it's not beyond me to turn it to E and watch random "True Hollywood Stories"
50) I'm also a reality TV junkie
51) I've never traveled outside of the U.S.
52) I'm both intrigued and disgusted by the people on "My Super Sweet Sixteen." The people that pay $250,000 on birthday parties should be ashamed of themselves and yet, I can't stop watching. WHY?!?
53) Whiny bitches piss me off.
54) I think guys in general are much nicer and easier to deal with than girls in general
55) I'm still pissed off at Eve for eating the effing apple
56) I love to plan trips, but I then feel guilty for spending so much money to travel
57) I still don't know what I want to do with my life. This is how government workers are formed, I swear!
58) But somewhere along the way, I started to like my job, and for now I'm happy in it
59) I'm sure this will change next week
60) I will be paying off student loans until I'm 42 years old.
61) I once made a poster for the Ag Extension Service, where I used to work, that was given out to colleges across Texas. Last year, I got a call from my brother who was laughing because he ran across the poster at his school. I felt like a celebrity! Ha!
62) The poster was made to look like an old-timey horror movie poster, so I was green-tinted and shrieking, with bulging eyes. Not a good look for me at all...
63) I like to go camping, but I'm petrified of the wilderness
64) I take fans with me to put in my tent so that I don't have to rough it too much
65) Anytime I'm in water where I can't see the bottom (even if it's a pool), I'm absolutely convinced that there are creatures that are after me, and I freak out
66) I have masculine features: I like to play sports and I'm totally comfortable being one of the guys
67) But I'm also a total girly girl: I need makeup and perfume, bubble baths and jewelry
68) I bite my nails when I get nervous
69) Even while I'm doing it, I'm thinking to myself that it's so disgusting to bite your nails
70) I have recurring dreams that my teeth are falling out
71) And also that I rented a hotel room and forgot to check out of it...bizarre
72) I hate the idea of things changing
73) I love black and white pictures...especially prints by Ansel Adams
74) I could sit for hours and watch the waves crash in at the beach
75) I feel most creative when I'm surrounded by water
76) I've never seen a mountain in real life
77) Of any place in the U.S., I'd most like to visit Washington DC
78) I also want to see a play on Broadway in New York before I die
79) I eat my toast plain - no cheese, butter or jelly - just bread
80) I love rollercoasters
81) And water parks
82) But not bungee-swing trampolines. I once got stuck upside down on one, and it was not pretty
83) I flash my brother's girlfriend for fun...just because I can, and I know it annoys her
84) I would love to have totally straight or totally curly hair, but I ended up with annoyingly wavy hair
85) I have to pluck my eyebrows daily
86) If I didn't, I'd look like a Russian man!
87) I hate when people make racial slurs more than anything in life
88) My first impressions of people are usually totally off. Some of my best friends now are people that I didn't like at first
89) I love to go dancing
90) I was originally attracted to my husband because he was fun to dance with. He did the sprinkler and the lawnmower, and it cracked me up.
91) I had a fish that tried to commit suicide by jumping out of it's bowl
92) I think I'm sexy when I lose my voice...it's totally the sexy phlegm. EWW!
93) I can quote Friends, Sex and the City, Dirty Dancing, Father of the Bride and Friday
94) I love to sing karaoke
95) I once sang "U Can't Touch This" in a total redneck bar
96) And I did the MC Hammer dance while I was singing
97) I don't have to be drinking to act completely stupid...
98) I think Patrick Swayze is ever so hot
99) I talk to my cats like they're human and I think they know what I'm saying
100) I can't believe I had that much to say...
