Heh, hi.

So I really do mean to update this more, but the last few weeks have been super stressful. Right after my surgery, I came down with strep from the hospital, so I had to postpone my trip to Rah-cha-cha until I could get out of bed. So then last weekend I did a bomb run to clean everything up and get all my stuff out, and on the way back our tire blew up.
Yeah, blew up.
About 4:30 in the morning, rural Mass, and boom. Most petrifying experience of my life.
Anyway, I really do need to update this more even if it's just a few words every now and then, especially since it's how I'm going to keep in touch with people and Catherine reads it. (Hi Catherine!) That is obviously the most important part, since we all know Catherine is my hero.

So, in honor of Love Yourself wee over at The Frisky (which was actually a few weeks ago but I am just getting around to now), I am going to take a page from their book. All of their editors wrote a list of 30 things they love about themselves or 30 things they do well, and I figured I might as well do the same.

So, here, for your perusal, 30 things I do well:

1. I make wicked Whoopie Pies, deah.

2. I'm really good at doing nothing on the internet for a long time.

3. I tend to start a lot of sentences with the word "so", and I also tend to accidentally capitalize it, which gives it a strange emphasis actually concurrent with my grammatical use of it.

4. Chipping nail polish off my toes and not caring.

5. Getting 3 lines of a song stuck in my head all day.

6. Saying random things which are entirely accurate to make people laugh, such as "Well, the stache suits him because it shows his personality: 70's porn star/bad cop. Yep, that's [Mr. Perfect]." Yes, this was said. Recently.

7. Setting slightly unreasonable goals for myself, like a list of 30 things.

8. Setting good goals for myself which allow me to grow as a person and learn new things and go new places.

9. Knowing when other people are crazy.

10. Being diplomatic when other people are crazy.

11. Not offending people, generally. Just being respectful around people when I need to be, really.

12. Coming up with interesting flavor combinations. Today was rose, litchi, and raspberry; yesterday was apple, celery, red onion, black truffle oil, honey, rice wine vinegar and curry powder.

13. Typos.

14. Being a klutz. (Secret: while some might expect me to dislike this one, I actually like it. Being graceful all the time would be boring, although it would mean a great deal fewer bruises and scars.)

15. Exposing my thoughts to the internet.

16. Getting worked up about political issues, because even though I don't want it to be my career, I really do love politics.

17. Being intolerant of stupidity.

18. Staying up far far too late when I need to wake up in the morning.

19. Putting my foot in my mouth.

20. Smiling. (This was my mother's contribution)

21. Making my mother laugh with the silly things I do. (Like this list)

22. Having a terribly messy but not dirty room.

23. Being nice to people, by which I also mean playing nice with people I don't always like.

24. Remembering things I've read, all the way back to my first and favorite book.

25. Knowing random information that is not necessarily relevant to my career.

26. Being enthusiastic.

27. Keeping track of makeup and fashion trends, and interpreting them in a way that I like without being a super trendster.

28. Finding romances in unexpected places.

29. Not being committed to those romances, at least in the past.

30. Finding bombshell dresses.


Ok, there you have it. 30 things, good and bad, which I do well.

Now, it's your turn.
