The 10 Days of Paramore – For a Pessimist, I’m Pretty Optimistic

Day Eight

Today is random factoid day. There’s 28…because, well…I’m 28 and it felt like a nice even number. Here goes…meaningless trivia that will in no way add anything to your life. You’re welcome 🙂

1. Some days I wish I snorted when I laughed…just cause I think it makes other people laugh harder.

2. If there’s a guy I really like, I cease using his real name when I talk about him to friends. He gets a nickname that he will never find out about.

3. I sometimes eat rice with mac and cheese. It’s a comfort thing that I justify to others by telling them I’m asian and therefore eat rice with everything.

4. I remember at least two or three dreams a night…half are violent, death-by-alligator or falling off bridge dreams, the other half are silly like not being able to find a raccoon mask or walking out of my house with no shoes on.

5. Love’s not a competition but I’m winning.

6. The most terrible thing said to me this week was “oh, your hair looks interesting today”.
The most terrible thing that someone ever said to me, ever, was that I had the worst taste in movies.

7. My life hasn’t been the same since Chinabowl closed.

8. I looove it when guys wear blue button downs with a t-shirt underneath.

9. Three things I prefer to do by myself is travel, watch movies and drive. I say drive because I sing insanely loud when I am by myself.

10. When I was in kindergarten we had to draw a picture of what we wanted to be when we grew up. I drew a mom and my teacher said that wasn’t a real profession. I think I still want to be a mom someday, but I’m really scared of how big of a bitch I’ll be for nine months without coffee or sushi or chocolate.

11. The only thing that makes me want to vomit besides vomit, is ketchup.

12. I take serious umbrage against two things – 1) that I suffer from a severe case of insomnia at night when I have ABSOLUTELY no trouble falling asleep at work and 2) fridge makers don’t think freezers are deserving of a light.

13. If there is a heaven, I hope it’s like Defending Your Life, where you can eat anything you want and not gain an ounce, and you can see what you were in past lives.

14. If there is a heaven, God probably lost my invitation sometime after I did this very bad thing once at church.

15. If we could see who we were in our past lives, I think I’d see a hockey player, a penguin, and maybe someone who died at a ketchup factory.

16. A cute guy escalates to hot if he can make me laugh or quote a movie.

17. An okay looking guy gets demoted in attractiveness for excessive typos or being too close of a talker.

18. I once peed in a library. Not the library bathroom…like between the stacks.

19. I once ate a 1.5lb bag of crispy m&ms in one sitting. I should be embarrassed by this factoid, but I feel pretty proud actually.

20. Each day, I grow more and more convinced that there is a ghost or two following me around.

21. One of my favorite things in the world is hearing my sister, goddaughter or my brother laugh.

22. I love watching TV, but I really, really hate reality TV…because hello? reality? That’s what I’m trying to escape from…

22. I often fake sickness, only to get actually sick a week or two later.

23. Chris Carrabba and I hugged for 13 seconds once after he signed my capo. Haven’t met a guy yet that could hug as good as him. I might be forever ruined.

24. I miss my flag football days.

25. I love having my own place for three main reasons 1) I get to control the temperature 2) I get to control the remote 3) I can eat breakfast for dinner without judgment.

26. Found out recently that I am not the only one who hates the feeling of tissues or newspaper when my hands are dry.

27. One day I will have at least three __ . (no not babies)

28. Like today’s Paramore song….For a Pessimist, I’m Pretty Optimistic
