Day 280: I Like Stripes
… and thirteen other things that you may or may not have known about me ☺
1. I debated whether or not to post this and whether it was risqué or not, but then I realized that my pants and belts are so loose that anyone who sees me walking around campus or anywhere would see all this anyway.
2. I could not live without my camera, laptop, and coffee. I could live without a cell phone, or probably anything else.
3. Ever since I’ve moved into my apartment, I’ve had macaroni and cheese at least 2-3 times per week. Macaroni and cheese is best complimented with blueberry coffee.
4. My mom thought I was too skinny when I was in elementary school so she had the doctor put me on a milkshake diet… In other words, I had a milkshake with every meal to fatten me up. Well, I actually got kinda pudgy up until halfway through high school.
5. I have horrible skin caused by a genetic disorder that has never happened in my family before. Also, I’m a lefty, the only one in my family. In other words, I am a fluke. Or maybe I was adopted, except that everyone seems to think I look exactly like my brothers.
6. My top four job aspirations are: to become a filmmaker and make a living doing it, to become a professional photographer, to be a musician, to be a writer. I will never be a musician. My backup plan is to open up a nice coffee shop somewhere on the shores of the Mediterranean and live a quiet happy life. I will never have a desk job!
7. 7 was my favorite number until I realized that it is the most cliché lucky number in existence. Now my favorite number is 49538. Actually, that was a lie, I don’t have one.
8. I want to travel to every country in the world. Then I’ll decide where I want to settle down. Right now I go to school 5 minutes from the house I grew up in. I’ve never moved, and have only been to less than 10 states and only one country. I have a long way to go.
9. I am good at math and science, but swore a solemn oath while graduating high school that I’d never get a job in either. I never thought it would happen, but after a year of no math classes, I actually missed it and so I am taking calculus right now. It is fun. I like logic.
10. I’ve only ever had one girlfriend and we dated for a year and a half. I don’t mind being single though. It has it’s perks. Also, I’ve been facebook married to the same person for over a year now.
11. I can’t draw. Anything. If I pick up a pen or pencil my hand quivers. Everyone else in my family can draw amazingly well. I like writing though. Actually, in 9th grade I completely changed my handwriting. I just picked how I wanted to do each letter and then wrote “a quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” over and over until it stuck.
12. I don’t like watching TV. There are maybe 3 shows that I’ll actually want to watch. Anything else I will only watch because I’m in a room where it’s on. Generally I’ll leave and listen to music or go on flickr or watch a movie. Or read a book, but I don’t read nearly as much as I’d like to, mostly because I don’t have time during school. In the summer I read a book a week on average.
13. I generally stay up 1-2 hours later than I’d like to every night because of flickr. Whether it’s responding to comments, checking out pictures, or gong through my pictures on my hard drive, or photoshopping… like right now. Ugh. Ok well this is 13 so that’s it!
