25 things...why not.

The friendliest place on the web for anyone that follows U2.
If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Here goes... I wrote an entirely new one (I also had one in FB) just for you guys so we get reacquainted..

1. I'm a middle child... and I fit the textbook profile perfectly (including the moodiness and emotional baggage).
2. I hate working and I've come to the conclusion that I better change that or I'll never get anywhere (It’s probably that I just don’t like working *for* somebody).
3. At some point in my life, I've seriously considered the following as life choices: Hermeticism, becoming a nun, being an astronomer, an actress, a philosopher, Gnostic. Now, I guess, they are minor humorous anecdotes… for the most part. lol
4. I know a lot of random stuff, but it’s all “encyclopedia knowledge”, not “book knowledge”. I have a high aptitude for music, science, politics and other weird stuff like quantum physics, but only on the surface. When things get complicated, I give up (see item 6)
5. School was relatively easy for me; I never read a book in college.
6. I don't consider myself lucky about item 4 or 5 because that means that I have not been able to know what working hard really means.
7. Consequently, my goal is to start reading books more to fix that (and I finished one today! :) )
8. I'm a pessimist, probably a “true” socialist, but also an idealist. I get my idealism from listening to too much early U2. lol U2 has influenced me in every aspect of my life (and made my life that much better).
9. Most of the time, I am obsessed with a specific song. Right now, it's Blur's "This is a Low" and it's usually it has to do with a particular thing in the sound of the song...
10. If I buy a band's physical album, it means that I have accepted them in my musical library permanently (I have all of U2's studio albums, of course).
11. I hate being a woman sometimes because it means you get jealous of your friends and sometimes I don't know how to handle that.
12. I've never had a significant other, but I don't really worry about it too much.
13. However, is not that I don't want one, but like most things in my life, things tend to take their own sweet time.
14. I didn't drink regularly until last year... Now I know I hate beer and I love vodka. hahaha
15. My best written work has always been done under pressure. I'm a huge procrastinator.
16. I have very strong social and political convictions but I can never defend or explain them well because either I go into tangents or I cannot recall facts quickly.
17. I also have a very bad memory and I am convinced that this is a result of having repressed memories.
18. I, obviously, intellectualize everything! Also obvious, I write way too much.
19. I love to dance mambo, flamenco, samba, Ecuadorian folk, and afro-everything, and someday, I hope to actually take some classes in all of them.
20. I hate reality shows, and have a difficult time tolerating them except a few select ones. Whatever happened to escapism?!
21. Almost everything I say is a quote I have gotten from a movie, a song or a comedian.
22. I love my family but sometimes they drive me nuts, and yet I spend 75% of my free time with them.
23. I want to be a polyglot. So far, I got Spanish and English down and a little of German. I want to learn Icelandic, Russian, French, Italian and Japanese. But if I don’t get to, I want to at least better my German.
24. I want to move to Europe (or somewhere else), I think it might be a better fit for me. I'm not doing too well in the US. lol
25. I have no idea what I want to do with my life yet… This scares me and worries me but at the same time, I know if I rush, it will be worse.
 
Okay, here it goes:

1. I over think things to the point that I create the worst possible scenario and freak out about it.
2. I come across as a very strong person, but I can be very weak with some people.
3. As much as I say I don't want to, it would be nice to meet someone who liked me enough to marry me someday.
4. I have a chapstick addiction.
5. I have an irrational fear of clowns.
6. I often quote Simpsons/South Park/Aqua Teen Hunger Force episodes.
7. I can't do a cartwheel.
8. I used to be 250lbs. I'm now 125lbs.
9. I go through phases where I will listen to one band/musician for a week and then not listen to them for months afterwards.
10. I always feel the need to explain myself, even if the person tells me they understand.
11. I change words to songs and sing them with my pets' names instead...to my pets. :reject:
12. I am my own worst enemy when it comes to relationships, I sabotage myself every time and I know when I do.
13. U2 is the reason I'm still alive and kicking.
14. I have a hard time letting go of people, even when I know I should.
15. As much as I hate to admit it, I'm turning into my mom (sans the alcoholic part).
16. I crush on men who I can never have because they are taken.
17. I'm a natural blonde. :|
18. I check my iPhone obsessively when I'm waiting on an email response.
19. I lost my toenails on my big toes from dancing in high heels at a club in March.
20. I have a crush on someone I really shouldn't.
21. When I used to use dating sites and would get messages from men that were misspelled, I would respond "Use spellcheck" and block them.
22. Although I'm an adult that lives on my own and is financially independent, I still run major life situations by my dad. I feel uncertain until I talk to him.
23. If I could live anywhere, it would be Memphis, TN.
24. I am an only child.
25. Facebook is a blessing and a curse.

I feel like I've known you all my life now Chels...especially after meeting the band in LA together and seeing your reaction. :hug:
 
All I can say is Therapeutic! Do it people.


1) Optimist, I usually find the best in people and situations.

2) Reading and writing freak - I dream of writing a book.

3) People analyzer, I can’t help it, it just happens – usually dead on too.

4) I have a passion for working with youth.

5) Love volleyball – playing and watching.

6) I love sports in general, both playing and watching.

7) I love working out – I know I’m insane, but it gives me a high – have a long way to go to what I want, but I’m enjoying getting there.

8) I have 2 kids.

9) I value honesty, I don’t care if it hurts or sucks, we’ll get over it somehow

10) I love music that makes me want to dance – don’t care if I know what I’m doing or if I look silly, it makes me happy.

11) Music for me holds the stories of my soul and travels with me through the seasons of my life.

12) I love to laugh and I love to be with people that can laugh and laugh hard!

13) I love to be with people that can share their emotion, no matter what it is.

14) I love to cook and bake for others.

15) I’m a feeler – I feel emotions deeply my own and of others.

16) I haven’t talked to my dad in almost two years, this is one of my greatest sadnesses.

17) I now know the difference between being in love and loving someone – and it’s HUGE!

18) Sometimes just loving someone is not enough.

19) I’m an extrovert but I can be an extreme introvert as needed or if I’m uncomfortable.

20) Abuse of any kind to children makes me angry.

21) I like peace and a tense-free lifestyle – I tend to be the peacemaker and the fixer – not an easy job sometimes.

22) I did not grow up in a entirely peaceful and tense free environment, so that explains the above.

23) I never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up, I still don’t. But, I know what I don’t want to be.

24) I’m pretty much starting over in my life, and I love it, even when it’s tough, I think of what is behind me and that the greater is ahead of me.

25) I think all women are beautiful and have an inner strength and grace that nothing can compare to and no one can take away.

26) I'm very surprised I did this, but I'm glad I did.


Nice diversion from work, now I gotta get back. :hug:
 
I would do any of those, I was just one of those players when I played in middle school and high school to dive like crazy for the ball, and hit as hard as I could etc. Which come to think of it I broke my nose that way trying to block some girl and she slammed the ball right into my face. I miss it lots though. For some reason I could never serve right though.:lol: But I sure of the hell was a good hitter according to my coaches.
