10 Confessions

In no particular order…. 

1. I love country music.

Seriously, I am the person who cranks it all the way up, windows wide open and sings at the top of their lungs. I have absolutely no shame about this fact. 

2. I have never been in love.

I think I’ve gotten close a few times, but I have this knack for finding the one thing that will cause a person to walk away and somehow exploit it so they go running. 

3. I am an exceedingly positive person, despite #2. 

No kidding, my optimism is nauseating at times. I am a pro at finding the silver lining in EVERYTHING. True, I have my moments of despair, just like anyone else. But usually they are short lived. 

4. I am a chronic apologizer. 

Yes, I am one of “those” girls who apologizes for everything, even if it’s someone else’s behavior. This comes from an inherent toughness on myself. Anything that can even remotely (like 7 times removed) reflect bad on me, I tend to apologize for. 

5. I hate the sun. 

No, I am not some Twilight Fanatic who thinks I sparkle when the sun is out. I legitimately hate the sun. I love beautiful days, and enjoy them as much as the next person, but usually my beach trips consist of layers of thin cotton clothing over every inch of my body, under a beach umbrella, with SPF 200 on any inch of bare skin, reading a book and listening to music on my iPod. 

6. I am a huge Syfy fan.

I won’t say that I like everything Syfy in all it’s glory, and it is a rather recent discovery. I have lately been very into BBC Syfy shows and/or movies. I think it’s the whole “escaping from reality” bit. It’s imaginative, and well, I love it. 

7. I watch chick flicks in order to criticize their lack of reality. 

Yes, it is quite possible I am a betrayer of my sex, in that I really don’t get crazy over chick flicks. Just today, I was telling a friend about a chick flick with a totally unrealistic ending. Yes, it was an artsy, independent film that was actually pretty imaginative for its parameters. In fact, the circumstances of the movie are less likely to happen than a unicorn knocking on my front door, but who’s counting? (See what I mean…)

8. I am O.B.S.E.S.S.E.D. with peanut butter. 

If there isn’t peanut butter in the house, there are serious repercussions. My absolute favorite thing to eat with peanut butter in it are graham crackers, with peanut butter, and a banana slice on top. I’ll take that over s’mores any day. 

9. I am so freaking clumsy. 

I am not exaggerating. If there is something within 10 feet of me that is breakable (even things you wouldn’t think were breakable), you need to get it away from me. The list includes anything from family heirloom teacups, to entire shelves. Now, if it’s MEANT to be smashed up with a sledge hammer, I’m totally your girl, but be sure to wrap anything you don’t want broken in bubble wrap before I come over. 

10. I am secretly a 5-year-old inside.

I love coloring, finger-painting, Hungry Hungry Hippos. Basically anything a five-year-old gets to do and have it be socially acceptable, is something I love. In fact, I think I’m going to go watch “How to Train Your Dragon,” and wish I had a Toothless of my own. 

Hope you enjoyed my quirky confessions! :)
