TEN THINGS YOU'LL HATE ABOUT ME

Why write a piece like this? 'Coz I was lying in bed last night thinking about everything that makes me not a very nice person to be around with.. (oh you know when insomia kicks in u just begin thinking of the most inane things) i thought of more than 10 actually.. but then if I list it all down u guys just might hate me too much to come and visit my blog again. hahaha.

so here goes:

1. I am a monster in the morning

(and any other time of the day depending on the time of the month :P)

My parents can atest to this. NO ONE is allowed to wake me up (especially at an ungodly hour) I have been known to be.. umm violent when my sleep is disturbed. My flatmate tried waking me up once, he never did it again coz i almost tore his newly pierced ears off. My family used to throw things at me.. they wouldn't dare get near.. i actually kick ass.

And I am not cohesive for the first 30 minutes that I actually get up. I do not talk.. i grunt. Without my coffee and other morning rituals.. I am not human.

2. I can tease mercilessly.

No. I'm not saying I'm a tease in THAT context. I just like annoying people by continually teasing them about their love lives. I have none to call my own so I live through other people's love lives vicariously. I interogate them about the developments in theirs. It's okay with girls.. but when I do it to guys.. hahaha.. they blush and give me a punch (right cookie monster?!)

3. I get anal about certain things.

I have wierd study habits.. i have to set the mood or I won't be able to think. The room has to be dark... with my curtains drawn with only my desk light concentrated on my papers. Soft alternative music should be coming out of my player. Everything HAS to be in order.. including the inside of my wardrobe (which i keep closed anyway). If anything is not in order... my eyes would just keep straying back to that tiny bit of mess.. so i'd have to straighten it. wierd huh?!

And another thing i get so obsessive about is my bed. Before I actually lie on it.. i have to straighten the sheets and fluff the pillows. My flatmate keeps on asking why I have to fix the duvet when I'm going to pull it back in a few minutes anyway. I don't know. I just HAVE to.

4. I am a brat.

Right friends?! I whine and complain endlessly. I complain about the cold. i complain about the heat. i complain when i'm hungry and i complain when i'm too full. i complain when the fridge is empty and i complain when the food is crammed with food. I complain when i'm bored and I complain when I have too much to do. aaaand i don't cook for myself.. but something good comes out of my complaining sometimes... when i complain about walking too far or my feet hurting.. I get piggy back rides from friends who just want to shut me up (yup.. it's happened a total of 4 times! :)

but the thing about that though is... most of the time i don't really mind about those things.. i just do that for lack of anything to comment on.. try it. it's fun. who knows.. u might get a piggy back ride as well.

5. I am vain (or so my flat mate claims)

let's just say i have to get up two hours before class because it takes me that long to get ready. 25 minutes in the shower (i've timed it.. and to think there are strict water restrictions in Canberra) and heaps of time deciding what to wear and what accesories would go with my outfit, hair, a bit of make up and the all important question of which bag to bring. hmmmm.. it take about a little more time to get me ready for a night out.. hair and make up is even more tedious when I'm clubbing.

it takes about 2 hours to get make me this crappy. haha. go figure.

6. I have heaps of insecurities.

Depending on what I think is particularly wrong with me.. i think i'm fat, or my nose is too small (it is though really), my skin's too dry, my hair's all wrong.. oh u get the picture!

and that is why...

7. I don't take compliments well.

When someone is nice enough to say something nice about me.. i just brush it off as a load of crap. I always chalk it up as 'just the eyeliner', or the fact that 'these jeans make me look thinner', or 'i conditioned my hair today' or the 'lighting and the fan'.

I should really just learn to blush prettily, clasp my hands on the back, look down and swing my right foot and mutter "gee thanks".

8. i am a lazy bum.

I can spend literally the whole day in bed snuggled into my doona with a good book. I have been known to spend all afternoon in the cafe just chatting to friends. there are days (most days really) when I will not budge from a comfortable position unless I ABSOLUTELY have to.

9. I am a procrastinator and a crammer.

I do not do assessments till the last minute. I've done a 2000 word essay 3 hours before it was due. gutsy ei?!

10. I smoke and drink (too much really).

well.. you know what they say.. second hand smoke is bad for you and smoking is bad for ur health and all that. But baaah.. can't live without my ciggies.. i smoke when i'm full or hungry when i'm annoyed, stressed, tired, happy, sad, i smoke when i want to really.

drinking!! larla, rog, tete, me and herbie.. chugging down the beer

And when I'm drunk. hahaha.. well.. you must've read my previous posts (a lot of which i've noticed has got something to do with my drinking escapades). I'm not really all that bad when I'm drunk.. or am i? The thing is.. sometimes I don't remember.

So there.. that is the end of my self-disparagement. If you've got something annoying about me to add.. keep it to urself. the only person who's allowed to bash me in a public forum is ME. :P
