10 Honest Things About Me

I just realized today that I never did get around to doing this meme that Buttercup tagged me to do, so I'll do it now. (Plus honestly, I'm having a bad day and any other thing I write about will probably be extremely depressing).

1. I am the biggest procrastinator there ever was. I put off things till the last minute then I get stressed out about them. Not a good trait.

2. I am a chronic worrier. I remember a professor once asked me if I actually sleep at night coz I worry too much about things. In addition, I get caught in the little details too often (especially with academics)

3. I have serious anger management problems. I used to get angry ALL the time, and I felt like I had all this anger just pent up inside. I'm happy I'm improving a little, but I feel like the silliest little things set me off.

4. I LOVE cartoons, books, music, and food. These are my favorite things in the world. I love to try new food combinations especially. My favorite weird food combo: Bread and noodle sandwiches.

5.I am a certified klutz. My classmates and friends have dozens of stories about me falling or bumping to something. The worst was when I apparently left skid marks after falling in a corridor in high school. I always have to think of where I'm going and walk carefully if I don't want to humiliate myself.

6.I'm scared of getting into a relationship. I have self esteem issues sometimes, and I think I'm scared that I'll be inadequate. I have some residual fear from my days of being molested too. For now, I hold onto my romantic dreams I guess.

7. I cry over weird things and at weird times. I can't cry at a funeral, but I'll cry when I feel I've not done as well as I can with a personal goal. I think when I'm truly deeply hurt, I just hold it inside; this is a practice I started in my childhood.

8. I'm obsessed with earrings! I could be looking all raggedy (coz I don't have much of a fashion sense), but I have to have some nice earrings.

9. I have an overactive imagination. I have all these scenarios and conversations playing in my head a lot of times. My mind is always busy.

10. Family is very important to me. You mess with my family and you've messed with me big time.


That wasn't as bad as I thought it would be...I actually enjoyed it a little I think.

Guilty as charged...was in boarding school for 6 years...Bread and noodles are good though, you have to try it to understand. Feel free to comment as much as you want :)

@ Wordmerchant: bread and chips loaded with ketchup? wow that's a new one for me. I hate ketchup though so I don't think I'll try that!

@ Buttercup: My day got much better afterwards, thanks babes. I'm working on letting go COMPLETELY, and I'm dealing with it; it just resurfaces from time to time.

@ Afrobabe: Pinching the nose? First time I heard of that...*rubbing nose after trying and failing* Yep, I'm a bit of a weird child

@ XSN: Oh wow...we really have a lot in common! God will help us all oh, coz that anger is so not the way to go.
My pleasure stopping by your blog anytime babes!

@ Beulah: Maybe I should have tagged you to do this oh...I sure want to read what you'd come up with. How are you doing?

@ Enkay: There are so many things that are replaceable, but never family! How is it possible to eat bread and noodle sandwich? Easy! You just make the noodles, then...you really don't want me to delve into that! Hehehe...I still love it oh.
