last time i played tag... last term.

but this is a different kind of tag. this is a first for me. thank you lauren for including me in this most gracious gesture. somehow i knew before i even got to the bottom of that post that i would be included in a mass tag. gracias.

so six random things...

1. i actually enjoy filling these types of things out. i don't know why. probably because it's a good way to take a look at yourself and see what you really do or don't like, things that you don't usually think about but are fun to discover. i promise i am not conceited and just enjoy thinking about myself for the heck of it. no no. no no.

2. one of my ocd's- notice how i never really capitalize things that are supposed to be capitalized, i.e. the first letter at the beginning of a sentence. this is because, 1- its too big of a hassle for something that isn't a graded paper and 2- if i accidently skipped a couple "capital-letter-musts" i would be annoyed and i would have to go back and change them which is a bigger hassle. same goes for texts. sorry if it bothers you...

3. sometimes people mistake me for being stuck up or boring. this is because i don't really talk to people... ever. i usually have to be super comfortable with them or be on some kind of high. i've been reprimanded for it by myself and others and i've gotten better but i'm still pretty shy when it comes to people. like i don't really sit next to or talk to people in my classes and even in high school when i saw my best friends walking down the hall i wouldn't say hi or anything... yeah, i'm working on it...

4. i hate showering. it is the hugest hassle ever. don't get me wrong, i love being clean and actually being in a hot shower for unpredictable amounts of time. but getting in is stressful, as well as getting out and getting ready. it takes FOREVER. when i'm not in a complete rush or at someone's house, the whole process of getting in, showering, and then getting out & ready takes a good 1 to 2 hours. i seriously have to plan a good portion of my day around it. so stressful...

5. i love to do the dishes. i really do. it doesn't bother me at all that i don't have a dishwasher. it's just always a good time to ponder and think. well, for me at least. i was usually the one to do them at home on sunday nights (and that's not a slight to any of my family) but it never really bothered me, unless i had homework or something better to do. i also am kind of ocd about it, like if i'm doing dishes i would rather do them all or not at all. yeah...

6. i love movies. not like in a i'm-lazy-to-do-anything-else way, like they actually interest me. not just the movies themselves but the actors and the story behind the scenes... stuff like that. sometimes i spend hours on imdb (sometimes as in once or twice... really late at night...) just looking up movies and actors and seeing how they are connected. like i dont know why but i can retain so many facts about different movies and actors. i wish i could shift some of that memory to more important things like, i don't know, school or something. but yeah, i love movies. and love. which is also a very large reason why i love movies so much. and good looking guys. another reason i love movies. anyway...
