The 25 "Random" facts about me. [From a friend's 25 he wrote that these weren't really random because they're things you yourself already know and aren't THAT random, at all-- good insight]
25. I have boxes and boxes of old unorganized high school, middle school, elementary school & miscellaneous family photographs. I kid you not, these photographs will embarrass the hell out of me once released to the general public. They will soon be filed away into some beautiful scrapbook that I will make someday... when I have that surge of energy to do so, that is.
24. I am impulsive when it comes to books. I usually read the first few pages of a book I've heard good reviews about and become completely infatuated with the synopsis, purchase the book then upon reaching home, I forget about it until another few months where I finally take the time and actually read through the book. My current read: The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Date purchased: I would say summer of last year!
23. In high school no one [or shall I say, a comparable population] thought I'd ever drink, have sex or do drugs. Guess they thought being ASB president required a clean record of refrain from the above mentioned. I chose to drink only after high school-- the first time was my 1st year in college. Now a days, I'd hate to advocate to drugs and all that jazz, but that's always worked for me. Oh the perils of pollutants and shattered preconceptions.
22. I used to have an incredibly bad temper and demolishing imagination [internally] when it came to being in contact with those I absolutely loathed. I used to imagine using some sort of heavy utility weapon to dismember or slaughter these people when having conflicting conversations. I don't know how I stopped imagining these things. Thank the universe that I did because all that negative energy prevented me from getting to know them on a different level.
21. I still don't know fractions all that well.
20. I passionately hate accounting. Why the FUCK was I not a humanities or community studies major? Oh, that's right... cause being literate and compassionate doesn't pay the bills in this country. WTF.
19. I like to do Tarot Card readings. My goal one day is to learn these cards well enough to be a real Gypsy. I bought my first deck in Australia where I studied abroad. I was told that it is recommended that you buy your own deck because your energies guided you to that specific one. My favorite card in the deck: The Fool because he represents the motto "follow your bliss".
18. I dream about tea parties and living on my own. My mom gave me a tea set that is as old as I am. I hope to use that and invite friends over for tea as soon as I move out.
17. I love listening to Dashboard when I feel shitty. Wailing always seems to lessen the pain and also serves as an outlet to release my emotions when I've oppressed them for so long. Favorite wailing song: Best Deceptions.
16. In middle school, I pushed the girl who wasn't my best friend then off a skateboard, where she then fell and was embarrassed in front of random people at a basketball game. Good thing she didn't hold a grudge because now she wouldn't be my best friend. Thanks, Em for being such a good sport. =]
15. My cousins and I used to do voodoo, mess around with the ouija board, and pretend to be witches. I remember my mom took us to the library where we then checked out several books on witch craft and DIY spells. We loved the movie, The Craft because we thought we could do 'light as a feather' on someone, someday.
14. After being unemployed for 3 weeks now, I think I'm going to become more domesticated. I'll try cooking more often now and cleaning regularly. Today, I made bruschetta and mamosas for my best friends.
13. I have a thing for guys with the following qualities[these are not inclusive]: swag, artistic ability, geeky & positive energy. There's nothing better than being mesmerized by someone who can do all of the above.
12. I plan on getting #25 taken care of VERY SOON. This 25 is not from this list.
11. I love to travel. Ever since my return to the states from studying abroad, my perspective on life has changed completely. I've realized that life is too short to settle. Experiencing the world and learning about yourself through the process gives me butterflies. I hope to do this very soon.
10. The only people who used to call me Ana Vi are my relatives. Only after I began college did I start introducing my name as that. I found this as a metaphor for those I introduced it to. I figured those who would use it will eventually become my family, away from home. Now, my close friends call me by Ana Vi.
9. When I was younger, my brother and I watched this awfully terrifying movie that involved some poisonous, large snake [could be Anaconda, I forget]. After watching it, I fell asleep and woke up to a hissing noise and my brother's hand acting as a snake folded into a "C" curve inches away from my face. I hated him for that. I screamed. Then cried. Then told on him.
8. I think I'm a horrible person to be courted. I don't know how to flow. I guess I'm kind of a shrew or just think like a guy sometimes. When people ask for my #, I give the wrong area code and giggle on the inside because I know if they call me, I'd side-button it.
7. I miss being in college and living away from home. I long for those game nights, random visits from neighbors, sheep calls, drinking games, library study groups, insightful lectures, parties, the "I feel like absolute shit" mornings and "where am I?" realizations.
6. I always get melancholic when I hear the song "Que Sera, Sera" because my grandmother used to sing it to me when I was younger while she'd braid my hair or do miscellaneous household tasks. I've reflected on this several times now and realized that this song has many truths in our lives because the future really isn't ours to see. I suppose it's kind of existential.
5. My college roommate de-virginized me of cheeba. Thank you, Elizabeth. =]
4. At a previous job years before, due to heavy drinking only a handful of hours prior, I used to find hiding spaces for me to take quick rejuvenating naps. Successful locations: locker room changing stalls, storage cubicles, & my car. Unsuccessful locations: my cubicle and under my cubicle's table.
3. I fear that no one will truly love me for who I am and who I am not in romantic relationships. But more importantly, I fear that love won't be for me after all.
2. I used to own black and white army bell-bottoms. Yup. Take those few seconds to imagine that. Crackin, isn't it?
1. I am me and you are you. Now, let's try to co-exist.
