remember when you were a little kid and you would be so excited about the little things. i have clear memories of the time i misplaced my toothbrush when i was six. i had no idea where i had misplaced it or who might have been playing a prank on me. we never left our toothbrush in the bathroom. i confessed this to my mom a little later in the day. she gave me an ultimatum: find your toothbrush or else - that of course became the beginning of our wonderful mother-daughter dynamic. what would you do in that situation beside ransacking your room? i started praying and making promises of being a good kid and all that stuff. my mom would periodically checked on my progress. when i had moved to another room for my search she directed her cold stare at my direction. hours later, i found it next to my bed. i was sure i checked that area four times. i was positive i had some sort of connection with someone up there. as i look back at that situation, it could have been my smart ass sister who wanted to see me sweat it out for a few hours. maybe i pissed her off about something. i questioned her about it recently but she can't remember past the age of ten. i experienced something similar again and i felt like i was on cloud nine. i am at a point where pretentiousness is left at the front door. i find that it is extremely hard to avoid such things given the industry i chose to be in, however, it is only momentarily. there are other things, more important things, that are worth arguing about rather than how someone fucked your cappuccino order this morning and how your day has gone downhill because of that small infraction.

somehow i've been tagged by two people to post 8 random facts about me.

We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.


1. on my left hand, my ring finger is slightly longer than my index finger and on my right hand both index and ring finger are equal.

2. i am very stubborn.

3. i'm highly accident-proned. i've suffered one concussion and various near death experiences. bungee jumping and parasailing are on the list of adventure-type activities i won't be accomplishing in my lifetime.

4. i owned two cats and a parrot when i was young and now i can't barely babysit a puppy.

5. i have aspirations of owning a bakery when i'm 50.

6. i recently realized that i'm slightly claustrophobic.

7. i am not a fan of authority and even more so ignorance. i don't mean to say that i'm reckless and would purposely do something wrong because i dislike authority, i'm just not a fan. with ignorance, that is something that i cannot tolerate.

8. i used to be a recreational cigarette smoker and have luckily put that nasty habit of mine behind me.

i don't know who's left to be tagged, so i'll just stop it with me.
