100 Things About Me: The Slackass Chronicles....

Yeah yeah, I know...other people started their "100 Things About Me" lists way after I did and have already finished them.  What can I say?  I suck.  Anyway, since I always lump my "list of 10" into categories, the theme for today is "Hilly Hodgepodge".  None of this goes together like the other entries but I just wanted to write things down as they came to me and yayness...I did!  Truth be told, even though yesterday I twatted that I had finished a blog post early?  Yeah well...easy to do when working on it over the span of several days, adding things as they come to you.  Ahem, anyway...I bring you the continuation of my ongoing list:

100 THINGS ABOUT HILLY (CONTINUED)

66.  I can swallow lots of big pills at one time.  Go ahead, get it out now...hardee har.  Seriously though, I've seen people gag over taking an ibuprofen but *I* can put a whole bunch of big pills in my mouth and swallow them down all at the same time. No muss, no fuss...no gagging.

67.  I sing in the car....like really sing.  I don't just mumble along with the song while muting myself when a car pulls up beside me.  Nope, I sing as loudly and awesomely as I can, no matter who is around.

68. I wake up at 6:00am almost every damned morning, without an alarm.  I have no idea why my circadian rhythm hates me, but it does.  I'm one of those people that loves to stay up late (especially when partying or whatnot) but the shitty kicker is that I cannot sleep in to save my life.  My eyes open every day as soon as it gets light out. 

69.  Therefore, it may come as no surprise that I love naps.  Oh my squishy yummy goodness, I love sinking into bed to take a nice cat nap.  But the best ones are those where I just fall asleep on the couch on a random Saturday afternoon....mmmm, nap.

70.  I fall in love easily.  Most people take years or at least *one of them* to fall in love.  Not me.  I've always had the capacity to fall fast and hard.  I think it goes along with the overly keen sense of intuition that I've mentioned here before.  I think I've always been a heartbreak waiting to happen because of this.

71. I'm not afraid to cry...in front of anyone.  I don't *get* holding in emotions and not being who you really are at any given moment.  I let it all fly...hail the freak flag!

72.  I actually DO laugh out loud at various emails, blog posts and especially chats.  It sometimes unnerves me that I can't hold it in while at work, but whatever.  My boss usually just laughs at *my* laughter anyway!

73.  Contrary to what might be popular supposition, when someone yells at me (like full-on screaming), I don't yell back.  In fact, I generally am so shocked that I'm silent, often holding back the tears.  When someone calmly approaches me, even in an argumentative state, that is when I give as good as I get.  But yeah, yelling makes the little Hilly cry.

74.  I probably drink about 100oz. of water per day.  Subsequently, I probably go to the bathroom 10.0 times a day (if not more).  I'm not kidding here, either...

75. I fall asleep without taking off my makeup way too much.  I'm not going to lie about it here...if I had a dollar for every night that I did not wash my face before bed?  I'd be fucking rich....maybe enough to pay someone to wash it for me!

Let's see how many weeks months it takes me to get that final 25 posted!  I am really going to work on it this weekend while I can just sit around and relax in the lovely sun!

THE COMMENT CONTEST IS IN FULL EFFECT...WILL YOU BE THE WINNER?

100 Things About Me: A Dozen More Admissions Of Insanity!

Before I begin the rest of my post, I just want to say THANK YOU.  I know that I've already thanked Britt and Avitable for starting the "Send Hilly to Philly" campaign but I can say it again if I want to!  But there are also quite a few other people that I need to say thanks to....a lot of you.  Thanks to Adam's video post, I now know who contributed and to all of you...the biggest thanks from the bottom of my heart!  I won't spoil it with too many words so I'll just say this...kisses for everyone!

Now then...here are some more things about me to add the work in progress!  It's actually quite easy to come up with things when you write them down as they come to you.  Pathetically, my text pad on my cell phone looks like I am a big fat narcissict but who cares, right?  Right!  Oh and in case you are wondering why twelve things instead of ten?  Because.

Anywayyyyyy....

100 Things About Me: Bet You Thought I Forgot!

So last year I started my 100 THINGS ABOUT HILLY list, determined to break it down piece by piece.  I should have known with my procrastinating ass that I'd one day forget about it and leave myself with a very short and lacking list!  However, since I admitted my tendency to go "Scarlett O'Hara" the other day, I thought I'd make every move possible to break out of her shell and finish things that I start! 

Therefore, I finally bring you 10 more things about me:

1.)  When I am home, I can't fall asleep without the light of the TV flickering on and off but when I travel, I'm more content to sleep in the dark.

2.)  I believe in common courtesy and get really offended and irritated when it doesn't take place.  For example, I cannot stand it when someone goes into a building before me and lets the door slam in my face rather than holding it open, especially if it is a man.

3.)  I think a man should hold a door open for a woman.  Of course, I also still think that I'm supposed to hold the door open for the elderly and give them my seat when there are none.

4.)  I say "bless you" or some variation of it every damned time someone sneezes.  When I lived in New York, it was drilled into my head that it is very rude not to....so I always have.  Now *I* get torqued up if someone doesn't say it.

5.) Although I don't say anything regularly and probably never will except for here, I loathe it when people make fun of Jesus or God.

6.) I lost my virginity when I was 17.  Oddly enough, it was lost during a week long sexual romp like I'd only heard of adults having!  I was staying with a friend in New Jersey and somehow the whole week turned into a deflowering session.

7.)  In grade school through high school, I took voice lessons from one of The Sound of Music cast members.

8.)  If I were to live anywhere but here, I'd like it to be England. 

9.)  I'm equal parts "dog person" and "cat person".  If we lived in a bigger house with a yard and all that bull-hooey, we'd totally have a dog too.  I'm partial to the friendly dogs like Labrador or Golden Retrievers.

10.)  I have probably 50 pairs of panties in my underwear drawer yet cycle through the same 10 pairs over and over again.  You'll note that I'm always doing laundry so it's no biggee :).

100 THINGS ABOUT ME: Exposing The Innards.....

Remember how I said that I started this whole "100 THINGS ABOUT ME" list as a way to discover who I am, after wanting to make a post titled uh...."Who I Am"?  Yeah, well when I first came up with the idea, I started just typing whatever came to mind in a draft.  Tonight I found that draft and added to it so that I could bring you 10 more "things" that define who I am.  Some of this is more of the raw stuff, so please be gentle with me, m'kay?

100 THINGS ABOUT ME: Random Kitchen Quirks!

This is a continuation of last week's list of 100 THINGS ABOUT ME!  In case you missed it last week, I am doing this list in increments of 10 for now, just because uh....I suck?  Anyway, now onto the kitchen/food quirky-dirks:

100 THINGS ABOUT ME: Friendship

I'm still trying to define who I am....on some fronts it's pretty easy while on others, not so much.  I decided that a great way for me to start looking at myself, inside and out, was to do one of those "100 THINGS ABOUT ME" lists as so many others have done.  Like a few other people, I am going to break it down into categories.  Today's first ten items are all about me and some views on friendships and such.....so enjoy!

1.  It takes a miniature piece of nothing to annoy me, but it takes a whole helluva lot to actually make me angry.  Once you've pissed me off that badly, it's hard to repair the damage that's been done.

2.  Conversely, I am extremely loyal.  Once I take you into my crazy little patchwork heart, you are forever in there and I will protect, defend, love and do right by you pretty much forever.  Even if you are an asshole, I will still stand by your side then tell you later that I think you were being an asshole.

3.  Although it doesn't seem like it, I am pretty picky about who I am really close friends with.  I love everyone and have a level of friendship that goes along with that but the one thing I must have in order to share all of me with you?  The ability to trust you.

4.  Even though I pretend not to be, sometimes I am jealous of people for being better, prettier or smarter than I.

5.  I'll often tell someone exactly what I think about them, even if I know it kinda freaks them out.  The thing about that is...you have to listen to my words and not try to find hidden meaning.  I don't do "hidden meaning"....I'll just tell you what I need to tell you.

6.  Number five is partially a lie (heh).  There are some things I don't tell some people because I don't know how to say them or if I should.  This isn't often, but sometimes....

7.  I sometimes question whether or not people really like me or if they just pretend to because we have mutual friends in common.

8.  I keep everything that everyone has ever given me...this includes cards, gifts, mementos, etc.  I also have a very succinct filing system for these things, which borders on "anal".

9.  I find it much easier to be friends with men than with women.  Of course, there are exceptions to this rule but throughout life, I have always been into men....yanno, as friends ;).  Well as other stuff too but I don't think that applies in this section of the "100 Things".

10.  I'm pretty sure that I love you more than you love me....but that's okay.  I don't love with contingencies and ultimatums.....my heart opens as wide as it wants to and accepts how much or how little you can give back.  Also, the fact that I am convinced of this is really telling of other things....hell, people probably do puffy heart me as much as I do them but they just show it differently.  I am well aware that could very well be the case 75% of the time.
