Everyone Loves a Boston Girl

My day was super boring and consisted of doing work, going on a walk to pick up my contacts, deciding it was frigging cold outside and returning home. Tonight was lazy and extremely girly and definitely nothing anyone would want to hear about. So I figured I wouldn’t have anything exciting to blog about (not that that usually stops me), but Katelin tagged me in my first ever meme sooo this blog post will actually have a point. Yay!

I’m supposed to list 7 random facts about myself, then tag 7 people, and leave a comment in their blog to let them know.

So, here’s some randomness about me:

(1) I hate hate hate monkeys and everything involving them. I already disliked them, but then I witnessed a really disturbing scene at a zoo about 6 years ago (use your imagination) and now I cannot even stand the thought of them. My friends love to tease me and tell the story (I don’t like to talk about it), but they pretty much are all creeped out by monkeys now too. Yay.

(2) I’ve never broken a bone in my life. Never gotten the flu. Never had strep. Never had the chicken pox. Can pretty much count the number of times I’ve gotten sick. I come from a family of healthy immune systems and for that I am very very thankful. My body also gives me fair warning if I’m starting to get sick and I always know exactly how to fight it off.

(3) I love music more than anything but I am the least musically inclined person in the world. I took piano lessons for 11 years and pretty much sucked. My lessons were basically really expensive therapy sessions with my teacher. I played flute for 4 years and didn’t learn a thing. My sister used to scream at me when I sang. I tried playing guitar last week and as soon as I learned a chord, I would immediately forget it. I’m not sure what’s wrong with me, but now I have a huge appreciation and respect for people who can do music’y things. And I’m jealous.

(4) I never went through a really rebellious stage or a rough time with my parents growing up. My parents joke that they’re still waiting for me to “turn bad.” But if anything, I’m getting even closer with them. I talk to my mom pretty much every day and often for an hour at a time. And they weren’t the kinds of parents who are bff’s with their kids and let them do anything. They were strict and hard on me, but I respected them for it. And while we obviously had some arguments, I learned soo much from watching my sister screw up. I’m definitely the “good” daughter.

(5) My friends joke that, though I am super girly, I drink like a man. And that includes my coffee- always black. And my alcohol- really dark beer, gin and tonic, tequila shots. Though I’ve recently developed a taste for Grey Goose and soda.

(6) I am addicted to lipgloss. It started when I was 6 with chapstick, moved on to Bonne Bell, and is now stuck on Lancome Juicy Tubes, Maybelline Shiny.Licious, Philosophy, Bigelow, and Tutti Dolci. I have literally hundreds of them, including 10 on my bedside table right now. My dad once referred me to a website for people with lipbalm addiction. I would do anything to have a LipSmacker in coconut cake or cinnamon sugar, but they are discontinued flavors. Seriously depressing.

(7) Whenever I’m feeling down, watching any of the Muppet movies will cheer me up. Love them.

Now I’m supposed to tag this to 7 people. Soooo here’s who I’m tagging. You don’t have to do it if you don’t want to…and chances are you might have already done it, since it looks like everybody and their mom has. But do it if you want. I’ll do the comments in the morning…I am ridiculous when it comes to this whole sleeping thing.
