99 things

mindi did 101 things, marissa did 100....i obviously have to follow what the only two people that read my blog do/did....

(and the prom blog is coming as soon as i gather all possible pix from it.)

99 things......

1. my middle name is hawaiian for heavenly flower.

2. i was/am a mistake child.

3. my dad wanted me to be a boy, named christopher.

4. my dad used to take me to work every summer and put me on the payroll to basically "keep him company."

5. my parents wanted me to be a pro golfer so that they could live off of me.

6. i've known my best friend, nicole, since we were 2.

7. i'm not sure how i'll handle raising kids (NOT that i'm having ANY any time soon!) without her living next door -- or even in the same state.

8. i'm extremely grateful for my childhood and wouldn't change a thing.

9. i've been working since i was 14 and had a gabillion jobs.

10. one of the funNEST was at subway, working with 7 of my high school friends.

11. i, for some odd reason, have brilliant friends -- not sure why they'd want to be friends with a dumbshit like me.

12. my dad's an electrician and my mom's a retired teacher -- and WHAT happened to me??

13. i HATED looking like other people and made SURE that i never did.

14. hating looking like other people meant that i actually cared about what i looked like.

15. because i hate looking like other people, as soon as i moved to ny, i stopped *caring* about what i look like.

16. i dress up when i have to, so don't worry.

17. i don't really give a fuck what people think.

18. everybody in hawaii does give a fuck what people think.

19. i had major culture shock when i first moved to ny.

20. i sometimes still suffer from it.

21. for many reasons, going to hawaii 2 months ago was probably the best fucking thing i did for myself. thank god for frequent flyer miles -- it allowed me to do a trip for $30 in less than 2 weeks.

22. my life revolves around food.

23. 99 things is fucking hard.

24. i could probably make you anything you've ever wanted, BUT don't ever expect it. you won't get it.

25. oh, except for food. i just eat it. don't make it. why bother. everyone else does such a fantastic job of making it, why should i?

26. as of yesterday, there is actually someone on my 'hate list.'

27. there hasn't been anyone on it since high school.

28. and high school 'hate list's' aren't vaild.

29. i'm stretching things to make 99.

30. if you're still reading this, you must be a) bored, b) marissa, or c) mindi.

31. i think i secretly can't stand it when people don't like me.

32. it's obviously not a secret anymore.

33. i know of one that HATES me.

34. i don't know how to say no, therefore, i've termed myself a "yes-er."

35. i swear a LOT and if you get offended by it, then you must really not know me.

36. i have a learning addiction.

37. i only have my a.a.s., in fashion design.

38. and fuck you, all you "you can't get a job without a degree" fuckfaces.

39. i've gotten myself several jobs post-college, degree-less & know many "degree holding people" that DON'T HAVE ONE! (and btw, do you KNOW how MANY famous fashion designers dropped the fuck out?!! just following their footsteps....... at least i finished the two years.....and i'm still going to school. i'll never stop. as long as i'm living in ny, my fat ass will be at fit.)

40. 'pretty in pink' is on tbs right now.

41. i am so blessed, i wish i were religious.

42. slow people annoy me.

43. for that reason, i haven't called to get a duplicate hawaii terror-on-wheels license yet. yes, i do suffer from road rage (but just like how i swear a lot, it's the same with my road rage, as in....NOT SERIOUS, just to entertain people in the car) -- just read #42 again.

44. for that same reason, i have ONE friend from fit (they all annoy me with their stupid questions that waste my time).

45. i actually don't have that many friends in ny & because it's so the opposite from when i was in hawaii, it took me a really long time to accept that -- i thought something was wrong with me for the longest time.

46. and now that i'm older and "wiser," i know now that i don't actually want/need that many of them & absolutely *adore* the ones that i have.

47. i used to have a backbone when i was younger.

48. now i let people walk all over me.

49. i can't believe i have to think of 50 more "things."

50. the sister is perpetually 5 (as in age).

51. i'm more afraid of success than i am of failure.

52. i wish i could chew people out like i could when i was younger.

53. with the exception of ONE thing, i was a DAMN good kid.

54. i never had a curfew.

55. i had parties ALL the time.

56. i miss my hawaii friends like they're body parts.

57. i wish i weren't so far from them.

58. i wish it were cheaper/faster to go to/from hawaii.

59. i'm the best "poster child" for ANYTHING i like.

60. i paid off my debt several years ago and now have more of it, thanks to my "business."

61. i promise my business will someday be the only job that i'll have.

62. but i won't promise when that'll actually happen.

63. i actually can be a bitch if you EVER cross me.

64. you don't want to see the "tita" jackie come out.

65. "tita" jackie has been dormant for a WHILE now.

66. don't necessarily need "tita" jackie to come out.

67. i got my lease renewal yesterday (for july 31st) and i'm not sure if i should renew it.

68. it's been requested of me to have another theme party.

69. it's gonna be for my birthday.

70. i'm looking forward to the hawaii picnic on june 5th.

71. people think i'm weird.

72. i think they're weird for thinking i'm weird.

73. i'd rather be weird than boring.

74. i know of lotsa boring people and i must say, i prefer weird.

75. this is really hard.

76. really hard.

77. are we there yet?

78. are we there yet?

79. are we there yet?

80. if you're still reading, you're either a) me checking for spelling errors, b) mindi, or c)marissa.

81. i'm getting old.

82. i can't believe i'm throwing a party for when i turn 27.

83. what's fun about that?!

84. i've never been to another country (besides canada).

85. but i've been to the west coast an UGABILLION times.

86. my excuse: geographic hazard.

87. when i was younger, i wished that my parents would get divorced and that i'd live with my dad.

88. my dad is the cutest man EVER!

89. except for his snoring. NOT cute, but endearing.

90. i hope they don't sell their house. i know it's not my decision, but they already broke my heart once before when they sold our beach house.

91. i still think of that house all the time.

92. i wish i could buy it back.

93. the new people that live in it put fucking CARPET in a fucking beach house. STUPID! what part of BEACH house do they not GET? BEACH house. BEACH house. BEACH = SAND.

94. 5 more.

95. i had my first kiss in first grade.

96. this is the year i graduated high school.

97. i stole my first ... ?? whatever when i was about 5.

98. it was a garfield notebook.

99. i suppose i should end this with something good............ummmmmmm.....i'm actually a bit more private than you think. think about it....look at the things that i mentioned.... i really didn't say that much.
