Confessions

I need to confess a few things:

* I don't really like Twilight. I read all the books and I saw the first movie. They were mildly entertaining but altogether forgettable. Plus after reading the original Dracula (one of the best books I've ever read, by the way) and Pride and Prejudice, I know what a vampire really is and seeing Mr. Darcy as a vampire kind of weirds me out.

* I don't like cheese. It is such a weird substance. I'll eat it melted over nachos and on a pizza, but just a slice of it or in something uncooked? Blech! Seriously, it's molded milk, people! Ew!

* I love shopping for clothes, but in my own home, I'm a clothing minimalist. I love it... until someone knocks on the door, and I yell for Deg to answer it as I scurry to the back room and lock myself there until I"m decent again.

* If I could live off of carbs and Diet Coke, I probably would. I kind of do anyway, which is why I could stand to go running or something like that sometime. Mmmmm carbs and Diet Coke....

* I loved growing up in Idaho, but I really hope I never have to go back. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great place to live, but so many people I grew up with are still there that it'd be like moving back to high school, and I just don't think I could handle that. High school was not "the best days of my life" and I don't really want to repeat it. Or live in Pocatello. Ew.

* I have a student who likes to tell me which of my shirts bug her (she's a funny girl and she likes to say whatever is on her mind) and sometimes I plan my outfits to bug her. Like today, for instance, I'm wearing a plaid shirt that she frequently explains why it bugs her (it's so plaid and the stripes are all over the place and with the belt in the middle it's just confusing) just because I am a big sister at heart and we LOVE bugging people. Hee hee!

* My favorite afternoon activity is coming home, de-robing, turning on Food Network, lying on the couch, pulling a blanket over my head, and falling asleep. Yes, I realize that pulling a blanket over my head is counterproductive to Food Network, but you don't mess with the pattern!

* When I do something, I do it over the top. For example, if I make a salad for dinner, I make enough for 6 people. It doesn't seem like enough when I don't, but I always make too much and end up chucking the rest. As hard as I try, I just can't stop!

It took me a LONG time to learn how to cook appropriate amounts of food... but do you blame me? Look at the family I grew up in! And when I'm at home, I'm rarely decent enough to answer the door.
Loved Twilight though! :)

i feel the same about cheese. people don't understand me. i'll even pull the cheese off the pizza if it's too much.
also, i know what you mean about moving home. that was my fear before moving back, and everything i every thought would happen, did. i feel suffocated and like i have to reminisce about high school ALL the time because that's the only thing i have in common with everyone still here.
