be-the-change:

Run as fast as you can towards God and if someone keeps up introduce yourself.

I just saw this on my dashboard.  I’m a little bored and a little tired of watching movies and TV, so I figured I would do this because it has some interesting questions. However, I’m just going to answer them all at once. The 30 day challenge thing doesn’t work for me. I lose interest and I don’t usually post something every single day. Enjoy :)

(1) The person I like and why I like them.
I assume “the person” means a boy.  However, I’m currently single and currently not crushing on anyone so I’ll just answer this about a friend. I (and by I, I really mean all of her friends) call her Beef but her name is Bethany. I didn’t really get to know her until spring break of 2010, though I knew her before then.  I’ve been privileged to have her as a roommate this year.  I honestly don’t know what I would do without her (though I may have to figure that out soon since she’s moving to Chicago in a week…it’s a sore topic…a lot of sadness and excitement at the same time).  We are constantly laughing either at each other or with each other. We’re like “peas and carrots” (she’s the carrots, I’m the peas).  I’m thoroughly convinced we could have our own reality show because the things we say and do when we’re together are ridiculous. I like her because she’s my best friend, because she makes me laugh, because she’s caring, and because she’s one of the best people I know.

(2) A famous person I’ve been compared to
I really don’t know.  I’ve been told I look like the crazy girl from Swim Fan (I personally don’t see it). That’s really all I’ve got…

(3) Five things that irritate me about the same/opposite sex
 Five for each or total? Let’s do total because I don’t really want to write a novel of a post. And instead of 5, let’s make it 4. 
Guys: 1:Usually they’re very unclear about their intentions and lie in order to spare anyone from being hurt (which in turn only ends up making things messy, complicated, and more ridiculous than necessary).   2: That they get to pee whenever and wherever they want. I seriously wish we could do that. It would be so convenient and small bladdered girls everywhere would be thankful, including this one.
Girls: 1:  They’re catty and manipulative when they want something or feel threatened. 2: Some of them are seriously naive or choose to be stupid and it drives me crazy. I have a certain situation in mind, but that’s a story for another day.

(4) The best thing that has happened to me this week
Nothing super spectacular has really happened. The best thing, hum. I’ll go with the fact that I thought my job was ending this week, but turns out I get to work an extra week. This is good news considering I need the mulah and hate asking the ‘rents for it.

(5)Weird things I do when I’m alone
 I don’t really think I do weird things when I’m alone. When I’m with people, definitely. But that’s what makes me fun. Okay I really like dogs…so I won’t confirm or deny that I look at dog websites some a lot.

(6)How I’d spend ten thousand bucks
I’d put it all towards student loans. 

(7)Things I like and things I don’t like about the way I look.
What I like: my eyes and my smile. Sometimes I have good hair days, and on those days I like my hair. 
What I don’t like: Lately I’ve been feeling a little bit blah. So everything. But whatevs, I’ll get over it in a day or two. Hmmm, I don’t like probably what millions of other girls don’t like. So if you were to think about those things, I’m sure I could say I feel insure about them.

(8)My last night out in detail
Does this mean out out? Well, it was about 2 weekends ago.  I went to a friend’s wedding with my family. They had an open bar, so of course I took advantage of that opportunity (I believe it’s one of the best parts of weddings). The bartender made the strongest drinks I’ve ever had in my life. Anyhow, after that we went home, changed, then left for a family friend’s birthday. Played beer pong with the little brother (who is actually quite tall) and friends. Won. Then a guy friend came to pick me up and we went downtown to meet up with other friends. Ended up dancing a lot and having fun. Went home.  That’s all the detail I feel like typing and probably more than you really care to know.

(9) Something that makes me sad when I think about it
Beef is moving to Chicago on the 13. Tears well up whenever I think about it. Goodbyes are crappy especially when they’re to your best friend.

(10)Something I’ve lied about
When I was little and we still lived in GA, I told my brother that mom wanted him to break the precious moments that was in our upstairs bathroom. So naturally he threw it on the floor and it shattered. What did I do? I ran to mom and told her he broke it.  I am such a sweet big sister.

Editor’s Note: I’m a terrible liar. My facial expressions give away everything so therefore I tend to stick with the truth, which is way better than lying, in my opinion.

(11)Would I rather be stranded on a desert island with someone I love for ten years or someone I hate for a month? Explain why
Someone I hate for a month.  Why?  Because I could either go to the other side of the island and not deal with them for a month or they could become a friend. Either way, it’s only for a month, which beats 10 years. If I was stranded on an island with anyone for 10 years I would end up going crazy and hating them. Ten years. That’s a long time to be with one person in solitude.  Just saying. 

(12)Something I’m currently worrying about
Getting a big girl job. Hey real world, I’m not quite ready for you yet.

(13)One person from Tumblr I’d throw off a cliff, one I’d marry and one I’d screw
I’m not even answering this. The only people I follow that I actually know are 2 of my cousins and maybe 3 friends (2 of which don’t even use theirs). I personally think it’s weird that someone would have a crush on a tumblr friend. You don’t even know them. People can be whoever they want behind a computer screen, whether it’s true to who they actually are or not. How would you ever know?

(14) Something I do without realizing
If I knew, wouldn’t that be realizing I do it?

(15) Lyrics that apply to my current situation/mood
Count out loud,
All of the ways that life is good,
On different days,
How things can change
Love always stays the same.
-Love is Endless, MoZella
(16) A drunken story
Sophomore year of college I went to fratty shack with some friends. When we got back to Tri Delt we went straight for the kitchen to get snacks. I decided frosted mini wheats were a good choice (weird, I know). My friend Lauryn would add more into my bowl every time I turned away and I was so confused as to why my cereal was never ending and I wasn’t getting to the bottom.  I may or may not have one time dug my fingers into a huge cream cheese block to eat some….and then put it back in the fridge. 

(17)Something I regret
 I wouldn’t say I regret any of the relationships I’ve been in, but I definitely regret that sometimes I was quick to forget about my friends and neglect how precious friendship is.  That was way in the past, though. I would say that in my past 2 relationships, I shared my time equally.

(18) Post a picture of myself
 

(19)My longest relationship and who it was with
Aaron. We dated for 2 years (10th grade and first semester 11th grade of high school.  We “talked” for a while before  making it official.

(20) Press Ctrl V and post
It posts this entire questionnaire. So I’ll just tell you rather than post it, because that would be a little unnecessary since it’s already on here. Sorry I’m not sorry it’s not something juicy. 

(21)Post a bit of my last IM convo
I don’t IM.

(22)Five things I want to change 
This question annoys me because now I feel like I’ve been put on the spot and I can’t think of anything. I for sure want to change the fact that people don’t know how to correctly use words. I.E. You’re is not the same as your.  Too is not the same as to. However, I think the American school system needs to be completely redone and model European methods for that to happen. Germany, for example, has school and college down perfect.  Let me tell you a story.  My best friend lives in Germany. He was an exchange student my senior year of high school. We were discussing how different our school systems are and he commented that “it’s sad when a German does better than the Americans in English class.” That’s all.

(23)My view on being Tumblr Famous
If you’re “tumblr famous” because people like your blog and follow it, that’s great. If you’re “tumblr famous” because you are constantly asking for people to promote you and are reblogging the “follow these 10 thousand people and they will automatically follow you back” posts, then you’re not tumblr famous and you have a blog for the wrong reasons.  If people like you and what you have to say/post, they will follow you. You shouldn’t have to ask.  I only have, like, 74 followers or something like that and I’m perfectly content with it because I didn’t ask a single one of them to follow me (though I am so grateful they do!).  I unfollowed all of the blogs were constantly posting “promo for promo” crap. It took up my dashboard and drove me crazy. ::Stepping off my soapbox::

(24)Someone I’d like to be for a day and why
I could give you a super serious answer and reason but I’m not going to. So for non-serious purposes I’d be Jenna Dewan. Why?  Because she’s married to Channing Tatum. Need I say more? 

(25)Five things within touching distance
My phone, tv remote, aloe vera, my pillow, my diet coke

(26) Story of my first kiss
This is super romantic so be prepared to be envious.  It happened when I was in the 8th grade.  Me and the then boyfriend went to the movies on a date (my mom drove us and his parents picked us up…those were the days).  He asked where I wanted to sit and I didn’t care and and told him to choose. So of course he picked the back row.  I am pretty sure we were seeing XXX (the vin diesel movie, not a porn). Anyways, about half way through the movie he finally held my hand and then at some point decided to kiss me. He stuck his tongue so far down my throat that there was the possibility I may have digested it had I not pulled away. Sheesh louish. Totally unnecessary and not what I had envisioned my first kiss would be like.

(27)An embarrassing/socially awkward situation I’ve found myself in
This was a while back, maybe 8th grade or something.  I was on vacation with my family in Florida. We went to one of those souvenir shops and I was just looking at all the nicknacks  at the front.  I found this “sucker” that had a smiley face on it and it was stretchy.  So of course I’m messing with it  stretching it, smelling it, intensely inspecting it. My friend was with me and she was doing the same thing with another one. She threw hers down in a hurry and told me to read the box we’d grabbed them out of. They were “condoms on a stick.”  They guy at the counter got a kick out of it to say the least.

(28)Something I’m not proud of
I’m not proud of the fact that I just ate an unnecessary amount of melt away mints that I got at candy craze earlier today.

Editor’s Note: I’m also not proud that I somehow turned a 30 question “survey” into 29 questions. How does that even happen?

(29)The last argument I had
I’d rather not discuss.
