1. i have seven siblings (all step and half) and there has never been a time, in all the years they have been my siblings, that i was speaking to all seven of them at once.  and i think that's sad.


2. i get headaches pretty much every day.  i often worry if it's because i have, or will get, a brain tumor - like my grandpa joe did.


3. i'm afraid to ride my bike for reasons almost no one knows or understands.


4. i hate the way i look 90% of the time.  i did not used to feel that way, but i do lately.  


5. i have this horrible blend of hopeful idealism and crushing pragmatism when i think about all of the things big i want to do.  it makes it difficult to keep myself on track.


6. i sometimes wonder if i have some sort of mental illness - specifically ocd.  i feel like i'm going to lose my mind when my roommate and husband don't put things away exactly where i have decided those things belong.  i also spend a large chunk of the day either counting in my head as i complete tasks, or repeating a line of a song i recently heard over and over in my head, or clenching and releasing my teeth (in a sort of closed mouth chomping way) to a specific beat or rhythm over and over and over... i don't want to be crazy.


7. everyone associates me with cupcakes, and i do love them, but honestly, my favorite treat is a brownie from a box mix.  but a tattoo/ring/etc. of a brownie just doesn't have that same sort of cuteness, now, does it?  and i DO love cupcakes - have since childhood.  just, if given the choice, on a regular, non-special-occasion type day, i'd probably pick brownie over cupcake.


8. i cannot wait for my hair to turn gray.  the tiny streak coming in at my part is like the biggest tease in the world.  i sometimes think about trying to have it dyed to be all gray, but i'm guessing there's not a lot of gray hair dye out there...


9. i have the most incredible friends in the world.  i feel loved, appreciated, respected and adored EVERY DAY and i can't imagine my life without the people in it.
