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!

WJP Kisses,
Me

#70? Yeah, I'm with you on that one. Maybe it IS the intuition thing, because I KNOW you know what mine is like. :)

and yes, I can swallow lots of pills, too. :)

[Dagny]

68, 69, 70, 72, 75 -- I'm with you on all of those. 73? Depends on the situation. I used to not yell. But I grew up with a yeller and as I got older, I got tired of crying and silently fuming. So sometimes I yell back now.

[Sharon]

I'm with you on 66 & 67. In fact, I *love* really belting out songs in the car!

[Winter]

Are these 100 things like a mandatory thing or you don't get your Blogosphere registered alien (ie freak) card? Cause I could prolly just run around to all the blogs and copy down the ones that are just like me and have my 100 in no time. ;) Your waking up one is totally me. 5:45-6 am rain or shine, weekday or weekend. No alarm. Which means that I too adore naps. But I rarely get to take them.

[Whit]

I totally agree with you on #'s 4,8,15,16,23 and 42.

[Hilly]

There you go being "whitty" again. I just fell over laughing!

[Mindy]

I haven't even started my list yet. Don't really know where to start. I am an emotional git that used to hold EVERYTHING in until it gave me multiple ulcers. Now? I let it all hang out.

[Chris]

I always have to laugh at the bf he takes each and every one of his vitamins and swallows them one by one. I on the other hand grab all 9 of my vitamins and diabetes meds (none of them are small) and shove them in my mouth and swallow them down. It's a talent I tell you!

[Penelope]

I love these 100's lists - it brings out my nosy streak heh!
I'm totally a wuss on the taking pills thing, even when i used to take a teensy contraceptive pill it would take me 3 attempts!
Singing in the car is compulsory - isn't it?
The drinking gallons, peeing 10 times a day thing made me laugh - me too!!!

[Shiny]

I seriously think that there are two types of people in the world: those who can swallow pills the size of the Goodyear blimp with no problem whatsoever; and those who gag on something the size of a grain of sand.

I, too, have always been able to take pills without the need for water or anything else to ease it down. Apparently it's a gift of some sort...

I also belt songs out in the car, but the shower is my venue of choice. Fun story: My sophomore year of college I shared an apartment on-campus with four other guys. Our bathroom configuration was such that it had an open sink area with the toilet and shower behind another door. "Under the Bridge" by Red Hot Chilli Peppers was relatively big at the time, and since it was such a great "belting out" song, I performed that in the shower for a good seven to ten minutes in the middle of the day. After all -- everyone else was out and about and I wasn't bugging everyone.

What I didn't know at the time was that my roommate Joseph came home. With some friends. And they quickly went into rush mode and gathered as many people from the apartment building as possible to silently crowd into the common area of the bathroom so that when I opened the door, clad only in my towel, they could give me what seemed like the loudest standing ovation ever.

Which is specifically why I don't get embarrassed when I sing in my car. Fully clothed.

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.

I do that!! And I can't sing well! LOL

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!

This freaked Adam out the first time he heard me laughing hysterically at my computer.

And I can't handle being yelled at. But don't tell anyone. It would ruin my rep.

[radioactive tori]

#70 is definitely me too!

I also can't really stand yelling. Of any sort. It makes my stomach hurt and makes me want to cry. I think that is why I am not a yeller, and can't even remember one time I have yelled at any of my kids. I do get angry sometimes, but I don't yell.

[Mr. Fabulous]

66-69 and 74. That's all me too, baby.

[Avitable]

#70 is me, too.

And you go to the bathroom 10.0 times? Not 10.3 times?

[Lady Jaye]

67, 70 and 71 and I'm not ashamed of it one bit! People laugh at me everyday when I'm just jamming to something on my iPod but I like to think that in my own small way I made their day better. At least they're smiling and laughing.

[furiousball]

not only can i swallow big pills like that, but i can do it without a drink.

i choke and need CPR, but still they go down eventually

[Finn]

66. Me too! I swallow an entire handful of vitamins -- calcium, fish oil, etc. - in one gulp. For goodness sakes people, you swallow bigger pieces of food than that!

67. I don't trust anyone who doesn't do this... :D

69. Naps are God's little gifts to us because he loves us.

72. Everyone in my office thinks I'm nuts. Maybe they're right, but I'm having fun!

73. I don't yell back either. I just stare blankly at them until they shut up. Non-reaction is the best weapon. Once people start listening to themselves they realize how horrid they sound. Advantage: Finn.

[Poppy]

#70 - Me too, but if the other person lets me I STAY in love with them. Good news for Dawg!

[Karl]

I hate the yelling thing. I don't cry if someone yells at me, but inwardly I cringe and cower. I've gotten better over the years. Now I'm likely to speak up for myself and say, "You know, I don't appreciate the yelling. Can we talk like grownups?"

[Carly]

I'm all over the napping. There are few things as satisfying as a good nap. But do you have a special napping cuddle pillow? Sometimes that makes all the difference.

As for the make-up thing, guilty too (sometimes.) I'm trying to get better at it, but it just seems like such a hassle at the end of the day!

[turnbaby]

I always SING in the car--- in the grocery if it's a good song--I was singing in Lowe's yesterday because it was Earth Wind and Fire's 'September' playing and it was making me wanna dance!

I'm terrible about taking off my makeup at night.

If someone starts yelling at me I become very quiet and start speaking to them very softly evenly and slowly. That drives em nuts ;-)

I didn't like naps until I had surgery in 2004. now i love naps but don't get them often enough. i love those rainy Saturday afternoon snuggling kind of naps the best ;-)

[Tracy]

Thank God I'm not the only one who will sleep in my makeup. I'm TERRIBLE about washing my face before I go to bed. In fact, I was late to work today, so I'm actually in yesterday's makeup. And I got complimented this morning. Go figure.

The sad part is that I often fail to brush my teeth before hitting the hay as well. I'm surprised my husband still looks at me, much less kisses me! I'm gross! :)

[John]

I'm such a baby when it comes to swallowing pills. I have to actually break them up with my teeth no matter how bad they taste. God help me if I ever have to swallow one of those little intestinal cameras. : 0 3/4 down...saving the best for last?

; )

[Dragon]

Mmmmmmm naps. I love them too. :)

[suze]

I always sing at the top of my lungs in the car. And I love me a good nap.

[mrsmogul]

There was a report that water Drinking 6 glasses a day was BS! But I still drink gallons of it anyway! As for yelling, whose yelling at you? That's not nice and I can send some cronies from NJ out to get them for you!

[Jeff]

I don't laugh out loud but sometimes I blurt out "LOL!" when I think something's funny.

[martymankins]

#68 - I wake up at the same time each day. It's rare that I can sleep in. But I also don't take naps, like you do in #69. I like naps... don't get me wrong, but I just don't take them that often. Maybe that's why I'm a cranky old beast at times.

[whall]

A lot of these have something in common - something going into or coming out of your mouth.

Talk about an oral fixation!
