25 Things About Cheeks Part 3 (17-25)

17. I HATE things that are repetitive.  Songs, phrases, etc.  I can't stand listening to the same lyric or phrase or whatever it is over and over and over and over and over.  Drives me nuts!

18.  I pick stuff out of my fried rice.  I don't like those little wormy bean sprout things I think they're gross.  I don't like when my fried rice crunches.  Plus they remind me of the ascaris worms that we dissected in 10th grade biology.

19.  Feminists irritate me.  I check this website often, but just to see what news they have to report.  I believe in equality, and I am all about free choice and making informed and responsible decisions, but I disagree with the majority of "traditionally feminist" opinions and problems solving methods.

20.  I don't like kids.  They're cute and everything when they're like 20 feet away but they are wayyyy too loud and make my head hurt when they start talking/yelling/crying.  I don't want any kids, I don't think babies are great, I think they're just a lot of work and sticky.  I have never changed a diaper, and I'd like to keep it that way!  I did not grow up around kids or have siblings, so I am not used to kids and don't know what to do with them.

21.  As I mentioned earlier, my mom's family is Jamaican.  They're crazy right-wing hardcore Christian conservatives.  I used to be like that.  Now I'm not.

22.  College was a disaster, just a miserable craptastic time.  I chose the school not really based on anything - I didn't know what to look for in a college, and I didn't have anyone providing useful guidance or help.  From the moment I decided till the day she dropped me off, my mom kept insisting that I could transfer if I didn't like it.  She was more nervous than me, it seemed.  Well I found out that was a lie when I called her 2 weeks later to tell her that I hated it there.  That whole experience, and the fact that I wasn't allowed to correct my mistake (choice of school) really took a hit on my self-esteem and decision-making abilities.  I still have trouble making decisions today because I am so terrified of risking a bad outcome.  Even the most minor decisions are harder than they used to be for me.  Sounds silly, but it's something that I'm working on fixing.

23.  I love love love books and learning.  I could spend all day in Barnes and Noble and be the happiest person ever just browsing through all the books.  I don't do this very often though, because as I mentioned earlier in this list, I get really into whatever I'm doing.  I secretly love reading, but as school went on and on (high school and then college), it got to the point where I barely even read the assigned readings for class, let alone pick up a book for fun.  I should probably get back into reading for fun though.  Lately I've been reading a lot of blogs and articles and info on the Internet.

24. I hate being wasteful!  I really do!
25.  I'm really afraid that I either won't keep up with writing this blog, or that even if I do, it'll suck and no one will want to read it.  I love reading other people's blogs, and I love writing (I've journeled for most of my life), and I have a lot of opinions and no way to express them (my family is very close-minded and dumb when it comes to stuff like that), so I thought that blogging would be the perfect forum for me to express my opinions and write about everyday stuff and experiences that I have.  I am really worried though that anyone who passes by this blog will find me boring.  I hope that doesn't happen!
