so.. I've been tagged.. again..
I've been tagged by =Tom= and catklein so now I have to write 16 random things about myself and then tag #? of my contacts that I would like to learn more about. ok.. I'm game :
1~ I hate talking on the phone. even to my own mother. I send emails to my irl friends instead of calling them to plan anything.. I have no idea why I have a cell phone. :)
2~ I don't drink coffee or alcohol. except on very rare occasions. I'm a fan of tea (iced, moroccan mint, chai, etc.), cappuccino, mexican hot chocolate, smoothies... I love trying out new juice.. whenever I go to a new place, I ALWAYS have to buy a brand/flavor I never had before. and yeah. water is the best. ;)
3~ Speaking of wich.. I've been known to never finish a glass of beverage. I always have 3 or 4 unfinished glasses lying around the place.. it's a running joke in my fam.
4~ I never wear make-up. I don't even know what to do with it. and now that I'm 35.. I feel like I have to start learning how to apply some. cuz I'm starting to show my age. :)
5~ I love a good bargain. I LOVE thrift store shopping with a passion and checking out clearance racks in the stores. for me.. it's like a treasure hunt every time !
6~ I might be the world's biggest procrastinator. my son is currently at my parents place so I can finish some work before the holidays. and still.. I'm here writing this crap. ;)
7~ I'm not a party animal. I'm more of the strong silent type. wich sometimes make me look like a snob. but I prefer to watch and listen then to talk. people might think I'm bored.. but I'm not ! trust me. When I warm up.. I can be quite funny ! ;)
8~ I gained 20lbs since starting my 365 project. and I hate myself for it. I feel like I'm trapped in somebody else's body and I will NEVER be comfortable being overweight. it's just NOT who I am. but nothing I do to change this fact is working out. :(
9~ I never wanted kids. I've known and said that all my life. I was happy traveling, working, studying and being free. and then I had my son. and I ADORE him to death. but when people ask me if I can imagine my life without him, I say yes. of course. I had a good life before. there was nothing missing. and I get weird looks by some peeps when I say that.
10~ I love shoes. I reall really do. like most women. but I can't wear high heels. and that makes me sad. I don't know why. oh and.. I don't wear shorts nor short skirts either. cuz I hate my legs. and I can take the summer heat just fine with or without them. ;)
11~ I hate the fact that I can't afford things I really like. I rarely treat myself and that can get very frustrating. I guess that's true for a lot of folks. but I'm sometimes envious and jaleous of rich people.
12~ I'm a very indecisive gal. I'm always afraid of making the wrong decision. I find myself overwhelmed when confronted with too many choices. even in restaurants. I can study the menu for a good 30min before knowing what I want. and that can get on people's nerves. ;)
13~ I'm not a gadget freak. I have no ipod, iphone, blackberry, wii or any other electronic thingy. I can get by without them.. and so do you ! :)
14~ I LOVE handwritten letters, cards and notes.. and I LURVE getting snailmail ! Seems like the only things I write these days are the grocery list and some little words to teach my son how to write. I miss the act of writing. and nowdays, I write in english 99% of the time ! but I rarely speak ! :)
15~ I'm an atheist. borned catholic, but my fam was not very religious. it was more of an habit then anything else. when I do have to go to church (marriage, funeral, baptism, christmas) I don't do the ceremonial stuff. I stay sitted. my son was not baptized. and I'm happy about that. when it's time, he'll make his own decision about his beliefs.
16~ I've always been very attracted by other cultures. For as long as I can remember, I've loved learning, reading & discovering about different people and foreign countries. In elementary school I lived in the suburbs and we did'nt have many "ethnic groups" (for lack of a better word.. sorry) but they were all my friends : Kim (chinese), Pamela (indian), Jennifer (ethiopian) and so on. and later, I've dated my fair share of guys from all over the place! :) I really miss that diversity where I'm living now. it's very homogeneous.
woooooaaaaa I'm done ! *wipes forehead*
if you read all that and are not bored out of your mind... I applaud you !!! :)
