What I'm Really Like

Published on December 15, 2004 By Texas Wahine In Misc

I like to sleep. I hate getting up before 9 am.

I love pizza. And pasta with just sauce. I could eat one of those two things for every meal.

I like a big tall swirl of whipped cream on top of my hot cocoa.

I hate driving.

I'm a hypochondriac and something's always wrong with me.

I get ear infections all the time. Probably because I love to take bubble baths and the water stays in my ears.

I love Ferrero Rocher chocolates.

I could play Zoo Tycoon for hours and hours.

I like to shop for clothes, but I don't like to do it alone.

I always leave my soda cans and junk in the car and I only clean it out when I have to.

I'm completely law abiding -- I don't speed and I pay for everything I download.

I am shy around people I don't know and tend to act like a retard.

I love Smirnoff Ice, and in fact I pretty much just enjoy drinking.

I only do the laundry when it becomes a necessity, but I love the way the house smells when the dryer is going.

I use my cell phone as an alarm because I hate the way alarm clocks sound.

I love photographs, but I hardly have any of myself because I'm always the one taking the pictures.

I haven't had a haircut in over a year because I don't trust anyone and I won't leave my kids with someone just to have a haircut.

I am very allergic to any jewelery except for gold. I wear a broken blue plastic watch that I got for Christmas last year.

I'm scared of everything. I'm scared that someone will break into my house and kill me. I'm scared that my plane will crash. I cover my eyes during scary movies. I'm scared that I will fall when I am up high. I am scared that my children will run out into the road. I'm scared of mannequins and knives and Halloween masks.

My favorite place in the world is Hanauma Bay, but snorkeling scares me, too.

I don't like to hike. I don't like being hot and out of breath. I like to be inside.

I repeat myself constantly. I tell the same stories or bits of information over and over again.

I have freckles on my back and on my arms and I have some that have almost disappeared across my cheeks and nose.

I loved 28 Days Later and I think the guy in that movie is incredibly hot.

I am a pack rat when it comes to paperwork, but I am lazy about filing so I have stacks of paper in various places around the house.

I love that my kids are smart asses, and they make me laugh everyday.

My favorite holiday movie is Mixed Nuts.

I think my first name is slutty.

I burn CDs for myself and then listen to the same songs over and over again, and I don't get bored of it.

I really like to play Animal Crossing on Game Cube and Monopoly and Risk and Tribond board games.

The best thing I've ever eaten was the San Antonio Roll from Zushi Sushi back in Texas.

I am awestruck every time I see the ocean.

Despite my best efforts not to, I care what others think about me.

I like to draw but rarely find a good occasion to do it.

I laugh when my boys fart or burp, even though I don't want to encourage them.

I have a thing for men in uniform.

I love Our Lady Peace and have been listening to a rotation of 'Clumsy' and 'Do You Like It' for the past half hour.

I'm not a very good cook, but I have a great chocolate chip cookie recipe and I enjoy preparing food for people that I care about.

I tend to either procrastinate or over prepare, depending on the task. I have been in a bind before due to lack of planning and I have lugged way too much stuff with me to the beach or the doctor's office.

I never wear shoes inside the house.

I love to laugh and be silly, and that is pretty much my default setting.

I overreact a lot of the time, and then later I have to apologize for being so nuts.

I have very low self-esteem and seek constant reassurance that I am OK and worthwhile.

I lack common sense and usually do things in the most difficult way possible.

I get excited about small, insignificant things, and usually find messed up plans and weird situations fun and memorable.

I drink Diet Vanilla Coke, but what I really want to drink is Dr. Pepper.

My favorite scent is the Yankee Candles' Clean Cotton.

I like to watch stand up comedy, and I think Wanda Sykes is more funny than annoying.

I don't believe people when they compliment me.

I've never owned a good camera.

I like to get roses, but a handpicked flower placed behind my ear is even better.

I don't like yelling. I don't like to yell and I don't like being yelled at.

I tend to see only the good in people I like and only the bad in people I don't . . . and I don't know what determines which is which.

I'm too rotten to be a Christian, but too wholesome to fit in with those who are not.

I am completely loyal and faithful to people that I care about.

I hardly watch TV anymore. I forget when things come on.

I've only had a handful of really good friends in my lifetime.

I am needy, I am whiny, I am annoying, I am broken.

I am a lot to handle. But someday, someone will think I'm worth the effort.

manopeace: Thanks. It's very difficult to receive so much love and yet still not be loved by the one person whose love and affection I crave.

Wow, steven, that was really hurtful.

That was really mean. Tex was going through a rough patch and not nuts. I trolled you for that.

We all love you Tex. Some people just don't think before typing.

Lovvens,

I'm a ferrero roche chocolate girl myself--well, in fact, any chocolate will do.

quite an exhautive list--very impressive.

I'm too rotten to be a Christian, but too wholesome to fit in with those who are not.

are you saying non-christians aren't wholesome? I don't think you need to be christian to have morals.

Good list, tex...I also have only a handful of close friends...I'm an intensely personal person by nature (believe it or not).

As for being "too rotten to be a Christian", I would suggest a close look at some of the folks Christ hung out with...there's plenty of room for us "misfits" (you should archive my "Confessions of a Misfit Christian" articles...you might find something there).

I like to sleep. I hate getting up before 9 am.

11 am is the perfect time. The sun is already up and the birds are chirping outside.

I don't like yelling. I don't like to yell and I don't like being yelled at.
It's counterproductive and yelling doesn't solve anything -- just escalates the problem.

I use my cell phone as an alarm because I hate the way alarm clocks sound.
There's a commercial which advertises one of the early morning television stations in MI which uses the annoying alarm clock sound. Alarm clocks are loud and they stay on on the screeching. I've never had an alarm clock.

I use my cell phone as an alarm because I hate the way alarm clocks sound.

Reminds me of the alerts in Korea. I still can't hear that siren noise without wanting to jump out of my skin. Used to wake up to it 'bout three in the morning at least once a month, and scared the shit out of me every friday at noon.

I cover my eyes during scary movies.

I loved 28 Days Later

like my wife. She likes the scary movies, but they scare the crap out of her.

I like a big tall swirl of whipped cream on top of my hot cocoa.

Ahh isn't that just Awesome, I like it in my Latte also.....

I hate driving.

I love to drive, I will drive just to drive with no particular desination in mind....

I'm a hypochondriac and something's always wrong with me.

I have lived with this and though it's annoying it's also kinda cute for some reason.

I love Ferrero Rocher chocolates.

I have no idea what these are?

I could play Zoo Tycoon for hours and hours.

I girl who enjoys video games, now that's awesome!

I like to shop for clothes, but I don't like to do it alone.

I'm the same, though I can't do it every day, maybe once a month....

I always leave my soda cans and junk in the car and I only clean it out when I have to.

I keep my truck clean, but I always have wrappers and trash stuffed in the door pockets....

I'm completely law abiding -- I don't speed and I pay for everything I download.

Let's see I speed though, I haven't had a ticket in 5 years, and I pay for almost everything I download......

I am shy around people I don't know and tend to act like a retard.

Me too, though I don't act retarded, I just don't talk becaue I know I'll say something retarded. I like to be around people my people skills just suck with strangers.

I love Smirnoff Ice, and in fact I pretty much just enjoy drinking.

Never had smirnoff Ice, but I do like to have a good beer or 6 every now and then.

I only do the laundry when it becomes a necessity, but I love the way the house smells when the dryer is going.

I go through cycles with this sometimes I do the laundry as soon as it hits the hamper and then Iron all my shirts before hanging them up, but other times I wait till I'm out of sock before I even think about doing anyting....

I love photographs, but I hardly have any of myself because I'm always the one taking the pictures.

I would like to post a pic of myself, but I have the same problem, thousands of pictures but, only a handfull of really bad ones of me, because I take all the pictures...

I am very allergic to any jewelery except for gold. I wear a broken blue plastic watch that I got for Christmas last year.

That must really be a pain, I can wear anything. However my body eat's gold, I can't wear a chain for more than a year without it falling apart and my rings are always getting too big.

I'm scared of everything. I'm scared that someone will break into my house and kill me. I'm scared that my plane will crash. I cover my eyes during scary movies. I'm scared that I will fall when I am up high. I am scared that my children will run out into the road. I'm scared of mannequins and knives and Halloween masks.

Thats alot of fear but kinda cute all the same.....

I don't like to hike. I don't like being hot and out of breath. I like to be inside.

I can understand. Though I love to be outside, I'd rather be fishing or riding a motorcycle than be inside anyday.

I repeat myself constantly. I tell the same stories or bits of information over and over again.

I'm guilty of this also.....

I have freckles on my back and on my arms and I have some that have almost disappeared across my cheeks and nose.

Ummm, welll....... That just sounds sexy to me....

I loved 28 Days Later and I think the guy in that movie is incredibly hot.

I have never seen it, I don't watch much TV or movies. I don't have anyone to do it with.......

I love that my kids are smart asses, and they make me laugh everyday.

THat's cool though you migh want to be carefull.....

My favorite holiday movie is Mixed Nuts.

Again I haven't seen it

I think my first name is slutty.

I think it's awesome, I mean really if I were married to a Brandie think how coool it would be to call home from work and have a little phone thing, then be able to tell the guys that I was going to go home and have some brandie. Ok so maybe it's hokey but, I think it would be cool.

I burn CDs for myself and then listen to the same songs over and over again, and I don't get bored of it.

I do the same but I have to rotate the CDs out because I do get bored.....

I am awestruck every time I see the ocean.

I lived on it for 5 years, It's just big water to me now......

Despite my best efforts not to, I care what others think about me.

It's hard not to.....

I like to draw but rarely find a good occasion to do it.
Same here........

I laugh when my boys fart or burp, even though I don't want to encourage them.

It's hard not to.

I have a thing for men in uniform.

I have a thing for women in uniform, but not cheerleaders. I see cheerleaders as sluts for some reason?

I love to laugh and be silly, and that is pretty much my default setting.

THat is awesome!

I overreact a lot of the time, and then later I have to apologize for being so nuts.

I have been known to do this.

I have very low self-esteem and seek constant reassurance that I am OK and worthwhile.

Brandie you will always be important, just ask your boys. And by the way your beautiful too.

I lack common sense and usually do things in the most difficult way possible.

Do you get upset when someone tries to help?

I get excited about small, insignificant things, and usually find messed up plans and weird situations fun and memorable.

Of course!

I don't believe people when they compliment me.

You should.

I've never owned a good camera.

I have 3, I love photography....

I like to get roses, but a handpicked flower placed behind my ear is even better.

THat awesome, I love to give flowers but they usually aren't accepted in the right light so to speak. the behind the ear thing is really cool.

I don't like yelling. I don't like to yell and I don't like being yelled at.

Me either, unless I'm at a ball game...

I tend to see only the good in people I like and only the bad in people I don't . . . and I don't know what determines which is which.

That I think is human nature and it's hard to change...

I'm too rotten to be a Christian, but too wholesome to fit in with those who are not.

No one is too rotten to be a christian, you don't have to go to the church house and play the silly games to be one.

I am completely loyal and faithful to people that I care about.

That is awesome, I am that way too though right now it sickens me.

I hardly watch TV anymore. I forget when things come on.

I don't watch it either, I haven't even been able to stay interested in football lately.

I've only had a handful of really good friends in my lifetime.

Same here, Once someone is my friend though I would do almost anyting for them.

I am needy, I am whiny, I am annoying, I am broken.

Just things to work through and you can be any to me anytime you want, I'll read or listen and try not to give my opinion too much....

I am a lot to handle. But someday, someone will think I'm worth the effort.

and they will be a very lucky person.......

grins:

We all love you Tex. Some people just don't think before typing.

Thanks. It's no problem. I adore steven . . . but I also wanted to let him know how that comment made me feel.

shades:

I'm a ferrero roche chocolate girl myself--well, in fact, any chocolate will do.

It's the best.

I love chocolate, too though.

quite an exhautive list--very impressive.

Ha ha ha . . . you got me pegged . . . exhaustive.

are you saying non-christians aren't wholesome? I don't think you need to be christian to have morals.

Nope, that's not how I meant it . . . I was just generally thinking about the people I know in my day-to-day life, and not generally. You can slap me upside my head for that one.

Gideon:

Good list, tex...I also have only a handful of close friends...I'm an intensely personal person by nature (believe it or not).

Thanks.

I definitely understand how it is to be kind of closed and personal (although you can't tell by JU!).

I will look for it.

Dusk:

11 am is the perfect time. The sun is already up and the birds are chirping outside.

I agree with that completely . . . 11 is just right.

There's a commercial which advertises one of the early morning television stations in MI which uses the annoying alarm clock sound. Alarm clocks are loud and they stay on on the screeching. I've never had an alarm clock.

I hate them so much!

SPC:

Sorry . . . I know that shouldn't be funny.

like my wife. She likes the scary movies, but they scare the crap out of her.

Yup. That's me alright. I want to watch them, but damn they scare me.

TasT:

Ahh isn't that just Awesome, I like it in my Latte also.....

There are very few things that aren't made better by adding whipped cream.

I love to drive, I will drive just to drive with no particular desination in mind....

Well, I guess I should qualify mine . . . I like to go . . . I just don't want to drive. And trust me, no one wants me to drive . . . I can get lost a block from my house.

I have lived with this and though it's annoying it's also kinda cute for some reason.

I dunno about cute, but I think you got me pegged with the annoying part! ha ha ha

I have no idea what these are?

They're the best. You can get them pretty much anywhere. You need to try them.

I girl who enjoys video games, now that's awesome!

He he he . . . I really suck at video games! I try and try, but still I suck.

I'm the same, though I can't do it every day, maybe once a month....

Nice to know a guy that doesn't mind shopping for clothes!

I keep my truck clean, but I always have wrappers and trash stuffed in the door pockets....

Sounds like a logical place for it.

Let's see I speed though, I haven't had a ticket in 5 years, and I pay for almost everything I download......

He he he . . . close enough, right?

Me too, though I don't act retarded, I just don't talk becaue I know I'll say something retarded. I like to be around people my people skills just suck with strangers.

Glad to know that I'm not the only one that feels awkward around new people.

Never had smirnoff Ice, but I do like to have a good beer or 6 every now and then.

Beer is good, but Smirnoff Ice is better . . . yummy!

That's funny . . . I kind of do the same thing . . . I'll go into "kick ass" mode and really get the laundry done and then I'll let it slide for a while. Heh. Domestic goddess I am not.

I would like to post a pic of myself, but I have the same problem, thousands of pictures but, only a handfull of really bad ones of me, because I take all the pictures...

C'mon . . . you gotta have at least one decent pic lying around somewhere. I'm hoping to see a TasT pic in sometime in the future!

That must really be a pain, I can wear anything. However my body eat's gold, I can't wear a chain for more than a year without it falling apart and my rings are always getting too big.

Wow . . .that's bizarre. You poor guy!

Thats alot of fear but kinda cute all the same.....

Ha ha ha . . . I'm completely neurotic, aren't I?

I can understand. Though I love to be outside, I'd rather be fishing or riding a motorcycle than be inside anyday.

Hmmm . . . that doesn't sound bad . . . I actually caught a fish once (I couldn't touch it though ha ha ha). You like "crotch rockets" eh?

I'm guilty of this also.....

If we already repeat ourselves now, imagine what we will be like when we're old!

Ummm, welll....... That just sounds sexy to me....

A guy that finds freckles sexy . . . ha ha ha . . .

I have never seen it, I don't watch much TV or movies. I don't have anyone to do it with.......

It's a really great movie, with an awesome ending. I know what you mean, too . . . much better to watch with someone.

If you want to destroy my sweater
Hold this thread as I walk away (as I walk away)
Watch me unravel, I'll soon be naked
Lying on the floor, lying on the floor
I've come undone

I don't want to destroy your sweater
Let's be friends and just walk away
Hate to see you lyin' there in your Superman skivvies
Lying on the floor, lying on the floor
I've come undone

I loved 28 Days Later and I think the guy in that movie is incredibly hot.

I think yo have a good taste in movies and music.

I always leave my soda cans and junk in the car and I only clean it out when I have to.

I do that to.

Oh I would also like to ad,

"My name is Jonas,
I'm carring the world.
thanks for all you shown us,
this is how we feel."

God I love weezer!!!!!

You like "crotch rockets" eh?

well kinda, some might call me a bike snob, I ride Harley's but I have an affection for Buell, Ducati and Triumph sport bikes.... I just never could get into the japenese stuff. I'm not sure why though, too main stream maybe..

A guy that finds freckles sexy . . . ha ha ha . . .

I once dated a redheaded girl and it was much fun attempting to count all her freckles

C'mon . . . you gotta have at least one decent pic lying around somewhere. I'm hoping to see a TasT pic in sometime in the future!

I'll post one on another site, I'll mail you and let you know where. I have had some problems with an X girlfriend ( the one I had to call the police on for harrasment) and I'm a little scared to post a pic in a completly public forum.

Nice to know a guy that doesn't mind shopping for clothes!

I forgot to mention that I'm a real pain to shop with, to begin with I'm color blind. Here's a link to my blog on that.Link Secondly, I'm very picky, though I dress pretty simple with jeans and dress shirts or T-shirts most of the time.

Thank you . . . he he he . . . all this time I just thought I was a dork.

I do that to.

He he he . . . bad habit, but at least I'm not alone in it.

God I love weezer!!!!!

Me too.

TasT:

Bike snob!! ha ha ha (seriously, though . . . I don't know shit about bikes!)

I once dated a redheaded girl and it was much fun attempting to count all her freckles

How far did ya get?

I can understand why you wouldn't want to do that. I'm looking forward to seeing your pic.

I remember your article on being color blind. I thought it was really enlightening. Now I'm thinking you dress like Simon Cowell. ha ha ha
