5 things about me
In the absence of having anything worthwhile to post, I submit to y’all the meme that the always interesting Jen tagged me with. Without further adieu, 5 random bits of information that people might not know about me.
- I once killed a kitten to put it out of its misery. I felt super-awful about it and called out sick that day because I was so upset.
- I save everything. I’m an unbelievable packrat. There’s totes full of shit from when Chris and I moved out of our Warwick apartment (October of 2000!) still packed up in the spare room as well as a footlocker trunk filled with things that I haven’t touched since I moved out of URI in ‘96.
- Back when I was in probably 2nd or 3rd grade, I liked to repeat words I heard on TV. While most of the time I had no idea what the meanings of them were, I could usualy figure out if they meant good things or bad things by their context, and so I liked to try them out in conversation. This didn’t cause any problems usually, unless you consider the time I was on the bus home one afternoon, telling some 5th grader that if he didn’t stop picking on me, I was going to rape him. Yeah, that was a threat.
- I miss my waist-length hair. If it weren’t so difficult to maintain, I’d grow it back to that length again, but then Eddie would need to deal with me shedding constantly, and I’d need to deal with the constant problem of developing dreadlocks with every move.
- I’ve been known to read people’s blogs because their own personal issues make mine seem way easier to deal with.
Supposedly I’m supposed to tag some folks to do this one themselves, but I tag Eddie and anyone else who wants to do it. Have fun folks!

I tend to read blogs of people that have similar problems so I don’t feel like such a freak.

Yeah, I tend to do that too, but there’s a few folks that I read simply because they’re complete headcases and I feel less like a freak simply because there’s someone out there who’s much more fucked up than I could ever be

I can definitely see myself in #2. For example, I have a box in my linen closet filled with bathroom odds and ends. I’ve come close to throwing it out a few times, but I always talk myself out of it because its a waste of the money that was spent on these items and you never know when they’re going to come in handy. (Does shampoo have an expiry date?) Sadly, every closet in my apartment has one or two…or maybe three boxes that fit this description.
#5 is something that I would do as well. Your problems always seem a little better in comparison to other people’s. That’s why people watch soap operas. No matter how bad your life is, at least you’re not awaiting trial for murder while pregnant with your sister’s husband’s child.
