So, Cate tagged me to do a 25-facts-about-myself-meme-thinger (yes, that is the technical term). And I’m in kind of an emotional/nostalgic mood, so who knows what kind of fun facts I’m going to share. It’s funny how one tiny tidbit of information can change your entire mood for the day.

1. I used to pride myself on how well I kept up with my housework. I hate clutter, and I used to be able to keep it at bay. But when I moved into this tiny apartment, it all went out the window. I have enough stuff to fill a two bedroom apartment and I had to shove into a one bedroom. You can see how that might be a problem.
2. I use music to portray my thoughts and feelings 90% of the time. The other 10% I write it all down. I’m not good at actually talking about them.
3. I’m a shy person in general. People that know me don’t usually believe that, but it’s only because I do a pretty good job at hiding it. However, when it comes to guys (ones that I like, in particular) I’m incredibly shy and will never make the first move. Unless I’ve had quite a few drinks.
4. Turning 21 was something I had been looking forward to since I was about 16. I love being in my 20s. If I could just get over my self-consciousness, this might be the best time of my life.
5. I don’t think I’m ever going to feel about anyone the way I felt about my ex, and even if I did find someone else, I feel like I’m damaged goods now anyway.
6. I’ve been interested in exactly two guys since my divorce, and both times I have found an excuse to make the relationship fail.
7. I’ve been called a ‘gay hag’ a few times. Two of my best guy friends are gay, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s not my fault that I can’t find any straight guys that I like well enough to hang out with. *shrug*
8. I’ve been to three concerts this year and I plan on going to at least two more before the end of the summer. I love live music.
9. My welcome mat says ‘make the earth smile’ — it’s fitting, considering everyone tells me I should have been a hippie.
10. I’m more mature than a lot of people my age, and sometimes it gets really irritating. I miss being married and having married friends, because at least we were all at the same point in our lives.
11. The only friend that I have that’s my age and single with no kids is my cousin. And we only get along about 70% of the time. There has been a lot of drama there recently.
12. I love going out to have drinks and dance. I love to dance.
13. I try to get together with my dad at least one a week to have dinner and a beer. We just walk downtown to either the pub or the mexican place and catch up. It’s nice. I’m a daddy’s girl through and through.
14. When I was 12, I thought I was going to grow up to be Britney Spears. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t still wish I was a famous performer.
15. I’m really forgetful. As a matter of fact, I can’t remember what time I have to be in to work today and I need to call and find out.
16. I’m running out of things to say about myself.
17. I have switched my major three different times since I started college. What I really wish I could do is switch to music and be done with it, but I haven’t done anything with real training since I was in high school. So much for that dream.
18. I definitely have a ‘type’ when it comes to guys. Generally, I love tall, thin guys with dark hair. Not scrawny, but athletic. My cousin, we have come to realize, is the exact opposite.
19. I have three pets, but only one of them actually lives with me. His name is Theo and he’s a 3 1/2 month old kitten. He’s a little terror. I also have Frankie, a cat that’s about a year and a half old now, and Princess, a 7-year-old miniature collie. They both live with my parents because my place just isn’t big enough.
20. I eat fast food more than any normal person ever should.
21. I love my job for the most part, but if I found something that would work around my school schedule the same way and pay me more, I would quit without a second thought. I hate barely being able to pay my bills.
22. I would move back down to Tennessee tomorrow if I had a realistic opportunity.
23. I miss being associated with the Army, and I’m sure I annoy people about it sometimes.
24. When I was born, I had dark brown hair. Then it was blonde until I was five. Now it’s a medium brown. Don’t ask me how that works.
25. I am currently very unhappy and I have no idea how to get myself out of this funk.

Voila! Fin.
