honest [s]crap.

yay! V, my delightfully sassy cousin-in-law and favorite blogger, has tagged me to do the honest scrap survey! i've done it before.... but, as mentioned in my previous post, i love talking about myself so i'm down to do it again.

the rules:

• post 10 things about yourself that not many people would know. (okay, but this will be kind of hard since i'm pretty open and there's not a lot i keep to myself.)


• tag some other people. (i don't really feel like tagging other people, so i'll just talk about myself. thanks.)

1. i'm a perv... and i find there to be nothing more hilarious than crude humor and sex talk. when my bff and i get together, i think we might be really offensive. want an example? head on over to youtube and search for "john lajoie- show me your genitals" (part 1 AND 2- i'd post the video, but i'm at work... and, that just seems wrong). now, imagine the two of us singing this song, word for word, with some really sweet dance moves...in the middle of a crowded bar, or even a not so crowded bar... or even if we are the only two in said bar. i'm laughing just thinking about it. but, i can flip the switch like THAT, and come off as the most prude-ish and polite little lady you could ever meet.

2. i'm a music snob. i WILL judge you based on your musical preferences. i refuse to listen to the radio-- manufactured top40 bubblegum pop? no thanks. i prefer actual talent and hot beats. there are few things more exciting to me than discovering an amazing new group and loving the shit out of them.

3. i have a sharp tongue.... and i frequently forget to think before opening my mouth. which is kind of funny, because a lot of people think i'm reserved and painfully shy- which, usually just means i just don't like you. sometimes it works out alright, sometimes it doesn't. but, at least you can rest assured that my opinions are honest and i'll never tell you that you look good if you, in fact, look like a giant pile of decroded crap.

4. sometimes i feel like my husband and i have practially nothing in common. and, to be honest, i like it that way... and i'm positive he feels the same. it allows us to have our own independent lives and friends and interests, but we still have each other. if that makes sense... kind of like checks and balances. i think the worst thing a couple can do for their relationship is to spend too much time together. never allow yourself to be lost just because you've met that amazing person! trust me... they will thank you for it.

5. i LOVE altoids. sometimes (okay, always) i eat them like they're a snack food... it's probably not healthy. but, at least my breath is always fresh?

6. i can count my best friends on one hand. actually, it's probably more like half a hand. i don't especially like meeting new people and it takes me a long time to warm up to someone. i don't tolerate bullshit... and i can see right through a fake smile. this is also probably way half of my aquaintences (note the word "aquaintence") are men. my best friends mean the world to me, and i go out of my way to show them that every day.

7. i fucking hate thongs. i can't say i even own one. there is nothing LESS sexy than a string shoved up your crack. besides, unless you're an airbrushed victoria's secret swimsuit model, you don't have the ass to pull it off... follow my lead, spare yourself the shame, and cover that shizz up.

8. web md has me CONVINCED i'm developing multiple sclerosis. fuck you, web md.

9. if you haven't noticed, fuck is my favorite word. nothing gets your point across like tacking a "fuck" on the end. my second favorite word is cunt. can you tell i'm loosing interest in this post?

10. i love bumper stickers. actually, let me rephrase that: i love OTHER PEOPLE'S bumper stickers, as i also find them tacky and would never put one on my car. madison is full of great bumper stickers. to date, my favorite read, "draft SUV drivers first". that one got a real LOL out of me. i may or may not have taken a picture. a great bumper sticker in front of you can totally make traffic more tolerable. okay, not really... but that was me being optimisitc.

and.... there you have it. ten things about me that you probably already knew, or never really cared about knowing. i guess this means it's time for me to get back to work... er, actually start doing some work. whoops...
