list 100 random things about myself

I suck at saving money. It’s honestly in my genes to spend and then feel guilty. My mom is the worst (she lives on credit cards and then justifies it) but my dad has recently shown his abilities when he bought his new town house. We go out, I say “that’s nice” and he says “yeah? yeah. I think I’m getting it for the house.” There’s such thing as IKEA, you know… not everyone needs solid pine handcrafted furniture that costs more than I pay for a semester of school. I’m TRYING now. I had some rough weeks this semester and I never want to go through that again.

I usually listen to Last.fm (www.last.fm) when I’m studying for finals (like right now, it’s playing Aqua’s Barbie Girl, which makes me more than happy). Anyways, it brought up Three Days Grace.

Long Story Short: I was in grade 9 when they first got popular and I wanted their album. At the time we were super-uber-christian-family-yay, so I knew that I wouldn’t be able to get it. In time for Christmas, I convinced my parents that they were actually Christian rock, therefore the name. I think I said it was something about Jesus taking three days before he ascended into Heaven or something… I got the cd for Christmas and I felt so guilty about, I never took it out of the packaging and gave it away to one of my friends when I moved.

Happy Easter everyone!

EDIT/side note: I don’t actually got my parents to solidly believe that they were a Christian rock group, as the album features such songs as: “I hate everything about you” and “burn”. I still think they are good, and every time they come on the radio while I’m driving anywhere with my dad he’s always like.. ‘oh right, the Christian band’ <3

I have no style whatsoever. I love fashion magazines, and designing outfits on polyvore, but when it comes to actually going shopping, I usually buy t-shirts, black jeans, and odd fitting sweaters. If I could, I would want to look like a 50’s housewife meets 80s glam rocker meets I don’t know what. I’m an odd bird.

I hate peas.

I’ve never smoked, done drugs or gotten incredibly wasted at a house party (yet). I honestly don’t regret that because I remember the fun I had with my friends.

I believe in happy lives. Happy beginnings, middles, and endings – just like we see in movies.

... though it will not happen to me, it could happen for some one.

my dad’s nickname for me as a child was chipmunk cheeks :D

We used to have to watch videos for fire prevention week when I was in elementary school. One year, the video freaked me out so much that I couldn’t sleep because I needed to unplug all the electronics of the house and then proceed to make a fire escape plan first. I still sleep with my door closed, just in case… It took me two weeks to get over the fact that my parents said that I couldn’t unplug the fridge at night. (What if there was an electrical fire?!)

I talk to people during movies all the time. I know it’s annoying – I know even I find it annoying, but I still do it.

I hiccup when I eat raw carrots. I don’t know why or how it works but every single time, it happens.
