Damn you Eliina

Seems like Eliina is angry at me for some reason. The woman tagged me, and now I have to write 10 random things about me. I might as well copy and paste the "rules." You know I don't go by no damn rules, but I guess 10 random things is as close to no rules as one can get.

The rules: Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog post with ten random facts, habits, or goals about yourself. At the end, choose ten people to tag, listing their names and why you chose them; don't forget to leave a comment on their page letting them know "tag you're it". You cannot tag the original person who tagged you.

10. I can watch the food network for 10 hours non-stop, and I have. Today.

9. I started school when I was a little over 4 years old, and was done around 28.5, with only one semester of no school. That's right, I was in school for over 24 years. It was all well worth it. But I sure as hell am glad it's over! By the same token, nothing you say to me about how hard your life is studying and preparing for school projects and exams will generate a shred of sympathy. I went through it and survived it. Shut up and get your ass back to studying and stop whining!

8. My parents are the coolest parents anyone could ask for. They were parents until I finished high school, then they became friends. And unlike other "cool" parents, they don't swear, aren't alcoholics, and have never done drugs. Ask anyone who's been to my house just how cool they are! Sometimes I think some of my friends like my parents more than they like me!

7. At one point or another I've played one of 6 musical instruments and 8 sports, at different levels. This isn't quite interesting, if one of them wasn't the accordion! No, I didn't have an accompanying monkey, though that would've been a lot more fun!

6. I'm a huge perfume snob. I only use the good stuff, and I don't expect any less from those around me. If you buy a perfume that smells more like a toilet cake, then just save even more money and hang a toilet cake around your neck. Yep, I'm THAT snobby about it! Get over it!

5. I am passionate about everything. When I love something I LOVE it, and when I hate it, I LOATHE it! An example of each would be mangoes and George Bush, respectively!

4. I can eat sushi for every meal, every day, but I don't, because I would probably die a month later from mercury poisoning. I'm already stressed out about not being able to eat sushi when/if I ever get pregnant.

3. I'm an awful bowler and pool table player, but I will be the most excited one when someone suggests we go for either. Then I will be sad when I do badly. But a strike here and an amazing pool shot there will give me enough confidence to be excited the next time either game is suggested.

2. I grew up in the suburbs and lived there through high school, but now, I do not know anyone who hates the suburbs more than I do. I will seriously consider not marrying someone if they ever say that we would have to move to the suburbs. The idea of having to drive every time I want to do something is equivalent to the idea of having to move to Saudi Arabia where women can't drive, vote, or go anywhere without a related man by their side!

1. I try, I really do try, to stay away from talking about politics, how stupid conservative people are, and how dumb religions are, but I can't, though I often end up physically biting my lip and walking away. There's nothing more annoying that trying to have an intellectual conversation with someone who has a very limited view of the world.

Oh, and one more thing, I am not fun with chain emails, because I don't like forwarding them, so I won't be tagging anyone. If you feel like doing this, let me know in the comments and I'll go read it.
