I'll be honest and say that I usually never read these things when people write them. I usually just like to look at pictures. But for some reason today I've had a bunch of 'confessions' running through my mind, so I thought I'd get them off my chest and write them down :)
1. I hate showering everyday. Maybe that's because I hate doing my hair so much.
2. When people cut me off, and make me slow down, I yell at them in my car and tell them what idiots they are and I feel better, or justified, not sure which. I'm a very impatient driver.
3. I wish my hair was stick straight so I could wash it, and not spend any time blow drying it, round brushing, straightening, curling all that none sense.
4. I'm angry at my new neighbors downstairs who make my apartment smell like smoke. Disgusting.
5. I think of the past a lot and wish I could change certain things. Nothing major, just stupid things I said (which was all the time), moments when I embarrassed myself, or when I could've been a better friend.
6. I love Mac & Cheese, frosting, and Top Ramen. Sue me.
7. I thought when I graduated college I would've gotten a very impressive job. I became a personal trainer instead. Hm. What happened?
8. I love, love, love, love, love, love, love MAKEUP. If I could sit and play in it all day, I would. No, really, I would.
9. I wish I had a nice camera and had nice big pictures to put on my blog.
10. It's easy to look at other people's talents and wish I had those abilities too. All of them, at once.
11. The only thing I like about California is the gorgeous weather. Other than that, this place is goin' nowhere. I'd rather live in the mountains.
12. I think arts and crafts are overrated. Probably because I'm not very good at them.
13. I love people who are open and say it like it is, or not afraid to say what's really going on. Love it.
14. I love the smell of gasoline. And Sharpy markers.
15. I hate long lists like this, I think they're self indulgent. I guess I'm being selfish.
16. I'm sick of trying to be good at everything, and just trying so hard in general. So I'm taking a break.
17. I love people who are comfortable in their own skin.
18. I don't really have any creative style for what I wear, how I decorate, or how I design my blog. Anything in that category is pretty pathetic. And I'm okay with that.
19. I have REALLY long toes. People mention it when they're just walking on by. It's like music to my ears, every time I hear it...
20. I think of doing nice things for people all the time but never get around to actually doing them.
21. I love to scratch my ears with Q-tips even though I know I'm not supposed to. It feels so good.
22. I love it when I'm around someone and I feel totally myself. When I don't have to think about what I'm going to say, or if I should say this or that, or wonder what they're thinking.
23. I'm sick of doing things because I "feel like I should". I really don't like that word. Should.
24. If I could never feel a feeling again, it would be GUILT. I hate that feeling, and feel it too often about things I shouldn't even be worrying about.
25. I used to think I was a good 'communicator", but I guess not because I make some social situations/conversations pretty awkward.
26. I don't always know how to end a conversation on the phone. I'm not very good at it.
27. I'm not a huge phone talker, so if we don't chat often, please don't equate that to how I feel about you :)
28. I love saucy things. I hate to eat something that's dry. Of course the saucy things are usually the fattiest.
29. If I lived 100 years ago I probably wouldn't care so much about what I look like. I blame a lot of that on our society and it's emphasis on how women are "supposed" to look. C'z it just ain't me.
30. When people think they are cooler than other people, I feel an urge to shut them down and make them feel small. Isn't that terrible? But there's nothing I hate more.
31. I know I'm ending on 31 but I didn't want to end on that negative note.
31 & 1/2. I love it when you're laughing so hard you can't stop and can hardly breathe. I want to create more of those moments.

Lola I love you. There were so many things on there that I felt like I could say dido to. You need a trip to Seattle my friend, will you come visit me? I might let you see Alicia for a few days, but only a few, the rest the time you come stay with me! :)
I miss you lots. I know your not a phone talker, but you should call me. P.s. the cutip thing. . . I swear I need to go to AA meetings for cutipers anonymous. I'm so addicted.
P.S.S. I'm so happy your pregnant.
Thanks for posting all those things! I found myself saying, "Uh huh! Amen!" and other positive remarks. I always like reading things about people that helps you get to know them a little bit better.
I hope that life is going wonderfully for you and your little, growing family! Congrats!
Laura I seriously love you! You crack me up. I wish we lived closer so we could be better friends because I think the same about sooo many of the things on that list.
laura, love how you put it all out there and i'm sure you feel so much better. i'm not brave enough to do that... my outer #16 keeps me from doing "the list" so instead my inner remains in tears. YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BIG BLOG PICTURE. I hope the smokers move out soon... at least it's not pot that they're smoking like when we once lived in an upstairs apartment... yuck!
take care! xoxo, anjanette
No wonder I like you so much, loved being around you, and wish you'd move back right now! We think the same. I loved the fact that you are just REAL. So few people like that these days.
Haha!! I dont know why but I love the smell of gasoline too!!
I'm awkward in social situations. I'm learning to embrace it which usually just makes it more awkward. I also don't know how to end conversations. I feel the end coming and I get a little panic in my voice and usually end up saying I love you to complete strangers. How long you think you will be in California?
