Behind closed doors...

For some reason I fill compelled to give you a blog of TMI on myself!! Let me explain, I was thinking to myself the other day about habits. Habits that have turned in to routines, and even bad habits that are now addictions. Everyone has them. Sometimes you are very aware of them, other times you have no clue of your habits, that is until someone points them out to you, and it's usually because they are annoyed by it. I am guilty of being annoyed by some peoples' bad habits but then turning around and doing the same thing myself. Because it's not annoying when I do it myself, teehee.
I can't stand click top ink pens. Why? Because people stand around and click the absolute shit out of them. If you are that person that is around me clicking that pen over and over like a speed freak, I will yank said pen out of your hand and throw the son of a bitch across the room!!! I have done this to many a person!
To all you gum poppers, spit it out, or choke on it!!! ...but this is one that I do myself, because, it's not annoying when I do it. Unless your name is Rita, then you make me spit my gum out into your hand and throw it away.
Do you smack your mouth when you chew? Well, then please for the love of God DO NOT eat near me!!
I hate that noise!
Okay, sorry, rant over...my weird habits...
I love magazines, I especially love food and cooking magazines! I will fully flip through a new magazine, won't read a word. Cover to cover I look through the whole thing. And I won't read a word of it until I have done this. I love books too. When I get a new book, my habit there is to read the very first word and the very last word. Every book everytime! I also visualize characters as movie stars and if the book was ever turned in to a movie, who would play each part.
I can't drink my morning coffee until after I have brushed my teeth, I love the way it tastes! And I always have to have a cigarette with the first cup too. There in lies another habit, I will roll a cigarette around on my lips before I light it.
I love fried chicken! When I eat friend chicken I will eat all the skin off of it first before I eat the rest.
I love to buy underwear!! But I don't wear them. I hate wearing underwear!! But I have a drawer full!!
I don't like to wash my jeans after everytime I wear them. I won't wash my jeans for weeks sometimes!
I have to sleep with the t.v. on. It has to be something I have seen over and over, so I won't stay awake and actually watch it. It's the background noise that I need. So for the last almost year, Harry Potter has been on rotation nightly in my Blu-ray player to sing me to sleep.
I hate scary movies, but secretly love to be scared. I love ghost stories, and tales of hauntings!! But after watching a scary movie I need to immediately watch a Disney movie or comedy, so I don't stay awake scared all night. 
I can't write with chalk, I can't even hardly pick a piece of chalk up. It gives me goosebumps. I hate it!
I hate having my ankles touched. I have kicked many a person and a couple doctors for touching my ankles.
I have a crazy, literal knee-jerk reaction to this.
I will leave you with one final confession. My sister is going to shit when she reads this part....
I have a list of words, words that I hate to hear, words that gross me out, words that I refuse to say. After finding out what these words are, friends of mine tend to cram them all in to one foul run on sentence, or just choose one and say it over and over until I want to cause them physical harm!
Moist
Panties
Schlong
Snatch
Douche -- although this one is on it's way off the list, I use it frequently now!

After typing those, I am physically ill. There is some vomit in my mouth now.

back in my day....

First off, an apology to those of you that read this blog. I had to take some time away because I have been angry. I was angry for many reasons that I could not disclose on here. And honestly all I wanted to do was write about it. I did however jot it all down in a journal that for now will stay for my eyes only!
I will now continue on...my birthday is quickly approaching, I will be celebrating yet another anniversary of my 21st!! I am by no means old, but I am definitely feeling that way! I was talking baseball to a friend the other day, we were discussing the price of tickets to go watch MLB. It's insane!! And before I could stop myself the words were coming out, "when I was a kid it was so cheap to go to a game." I remember when I was a kid going to see the St. Louis Cardinals play in Busch Stadium. The family loading up our own coolers, yes for you younger readers you use to be able to take your own shit into the ballgame! We would go and wait in line for bleacher seats in the outfield. I didn't make the purchase for these tickets, I was only maybe 9 or 10 at the time, but I know for a fact that it wasn't more than may be $6 or $7 a piece! Don't worry I didn't follow up by saying "and when I went to school I walked up hill both ways in the freezing cold, barefoot blah blah blah...." But, I realized something though, I am getting older and some things, well most things will never be as they were when I was younger. I'm not just talking the price I pay for many things, but how we function as a society as well. For example, I am sitting in Starbucks right now, using their wi-fi to write this blog. Blog...a word only recently introduced to our vocabulary as well. Not only is the wi-fi running on my laptop but also on my i-Phone by my side, I am texting my sister and forwarding my friend Rita a recipe. Again, I'm not that old, and it wasn't that long ago that I remember the first cell phone. That big Zach Morris Saved by the Bell heavy gray monstrosity. The only thing it had going for it was the big orange numbers! And now, there isn't much I can't do on my phone. If this is how technology is now, I can't even imagine what kind of amazing things my niece and nephew will get to be a part of.
Something that makes me giggle, is how with all this ever changing technology and everyone needing the latest and greatest gadgets and phones and computers that somethings have made comebacks. Things that we thought were long gone, and over. For example...fashion. Big fashion designers are taking past fashions and just putting different titles on them. 70's dress is "bo-ho sheek" , 80's dress is "new age hipster". Actually no, style thief, its just the fact that you can't find anything new! Another example, food. All these new restaurants doing Asian-cuban-all american-gastronomy-fusion....but doing this to say, peanut butter and jelly, hamburger and fries. Hey morons, your paying hundreds of dollars for shit that I just made in my kitchen for about a buck! And to top that all off PBR is the cool thing to drink, PBR!! Are you fucking kidding me?! Ladies and gentlemen not just PBR but PBR in a "tall-boy". Sorry, I think I got on a tangent that has more to do with hatred toward hipsters. Anyways, I believe I just made a realization in that it's self. Times may change, prices will go up, technology will continue to become more and more amazing. But I know that even though I may pay hundreds of dollars for a baseball ticket, it's still the same game. I may do a lot of my shopping online now, but I still get the same feeling like when I was a kid and got new clothes, I was so excited that I had to wear them right then!! I still do that. I have embraced the world of downloading books, but still love the smell when I go into a bookstore. I may send birthday wishes via Facebook, but its still a good feeling to know people are thinking of you on your special day. Getting older will bring change, no matter what era, you can't stop it, you can't fight it, you can't hide from it! So...saying that, bring it on 31, what do you have in store for my next year of living? ...at what age can I be considered a cougar??
