michannaOkay, everyone on facebook is doing this 25 random things about me meme. I, however, have a problem with doing memes on facebook. The last one I read was ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
azsapphire and I liked some of the points she made. Since my life is boring and I will have trouble coming up with 25 things about me, I will steal some of her points of interest for my own. So here you go;
1. I am the only person on the face of the planet who can't seem to find a job. If I were someone else looking at my situation, I would think, "Man, she must be lazy, picky and not serious about it if she hasn't found anything yet with her educational background." and so that's what I think everyone around me is thinking. For the record, even the middle one stopped being true in early December.
2. If I could wish for anything right now, I would wish for direction and confidence.
3. I have this pet peeve about how a proper guest/host relationship should work and if someone offends my sensibilities about it, I get snarky.
4. I'd be grateful for any superpower except empathy. Reading other people’s emotions would be annoying as hell and stressful and you’d never be able to sort out your own emotions.
5. If I were to choose a superpower, it would probably relate to gaining more time like stopping time or super speed. Not immortality though, because as romantic as it sounds, it would get incredibly hard to deal with. I wouldn’t be upset if it were handed to me on a silver platter (see my previous point) but it’s not high on my list of desired abilities. Making things grow is a good one too … just think of the ecoterrorism!
6. I do not think grammar is something difficult to figure out. As far as I’m concerned, people should be capable of writing with decent grammar and spelling even in LJ posts and MSN convos. I try to be understanding, but it wears down my patience when someone IMing me says to instead of too or its instead of it’s.
7. I have an unhealthy obsession with growing virtual plants on facebook.
8. I hate leaving the house but usually enjoy whatever it was I left to do once I get over the grudge of having to leave my house for it. On the other hand, I occasionally find it extremely irritating to have people violate the sanctity of my home to come see me in residence. This more or less just makes me a bitch. (this does not mean I want any of you to stop visiting btw.)
9. I don’t understand the choices I’ve made.
10. I want to move back to Guelph.
11. I currently feel that if there’s a God and he or she is of any use at all, they would give me a sign about what I should be doing. I need a goal to work towards.
12. I take out my emotions on the people around me regardless of who they are or what the emotion is.
13. I’ve become much better at giving people the benefit of the doubt and not judging them in the long run but I am still quickly annoyed with others for actions or comments that shouldn’t bother me.
14. I like walking better when I don’t have to bring my dog. Having to watch out for the dog makes longs walks a much poorer forum for wool gathering.
15. Long car rides make me emo.
16. I have a lot of trouble appreciating myself and this is probably the root of my inability to get close to people. Either that or I just brood too much. I’m probably the only person on the planet who is capable of bitchy arrogance and aloofness while at the same time being completely insecure and self-deprecating.
17. I have things to do and nothing to do with my time except do them and still they aren’t getting done.
18. I feel like accepting this field work job will be like acceding to a death sentence but I can’t turn it down … not after everything …
19. Sometimes when I’m contemplating someone else’s feelings or points of view, I forget who I am.
20. I am considering buying an N64 so I can play Ocarina of Time. I blame Lindsay.
21. I have stories and images in my head that would be amazing if only I had talent to match them.
22. I idolize villains. My life would be so much easier if I could emulate them but when it comes right down to it, I was raised with too many morals.
23. Jobs make me miserable because I never feel like I’m doing enough or doing as much as I’m expected to since I like to procrastinate. Then I get stressed and guilty about how little I’m doing but it doesn’t make me do more and then it repeats.
24. I feel that people would be better at doing their jobs if non-retail work hours were based on getting things done rather than on being there from 8-5. Everyone is reachable even away from the office these days so I see no reason why it shouldn’t work.
25. I am so anal retentive that I keep all the movies I want to see in a list. I hardly ever get around to watching movies, but I faithfully check IMDB to look at the releases so I can keep the list updated.
And now I'm off to a meeting that was supposed to be at 11 but I forgot about because I was too busy being emo and giving myself ulcers.
