A Surprisingly Sane Blog

While it’s no secret that I speak my mind and use a whole slew of cuss words, here are a few things you may not actually know about me.

1. I don’t hold grudges.  Someone may piss me off, but I get over it and move on quickly.
2. If someone tells me (or if I find out) that I have hurt them, it makes me feel physically ill.
3. I am never afraid to apologize and genuinely mean it if I do.
4. I can’t say no and wind up with way too many commitments all the time.
5. I am afraid of the dark because I always feel like monsters may jump out and bite my feet in the middle of the night.  And yes, I know this is ridiculous, but I can’t help the way I feel.
6. I won’t argue with someone unless I feel like it can have a positive outcome.  There’s no point.
7. I don’t care to have the last word in an argument.  I got beaten down as a kid and was never allowed to speak my mind if it differed from what was “right”.  Now I just don’t care.
8. I volunteer a buttload of my time.
9. I don’t like talking shit.  I’ll discuss something going on with a person, but as soon as it becomes a bashing session, I’m out.
10. I never fit in when I was growing up.  I was always the odd one out, and I got made fun of all the time.
11. I used to cry myself to sleep because I hated myself so much when I was a kid.
12. A good chunk of my mental problems (i.e. depression, anxiety, OCD) are genetic predispositions.  However, a large part of my problems come from internalizing everything and not being able to move past those issues.
13. I’m a total mommy-and-daddy’s girl.  I always want my parents’ approval and feel awful when I do something that doesn’t please them.
14. I may have a smart mouth, but I have a huge heart.
15. I have a very diplomatic way of talking to people if I need to tell them something I know they’re not going to like hearing.  Usually, I can do it without offending them.  As a result, I frequently end up having to be the person to confront someone.
16. The majority of decisions I have always made are for other people, not myself.  This isn’t necessarily a good thing, and I am currently working on learning how to do things because I need them.
17. I don’t like scary or horror movies.  Give me comedy, action, or drama any day.
18. I love teaching dance and prefer it over competing or making a name for myself in the dance world.
19. I married the most incredible person in the world.  Yeah, I complain about his sleeping habits and gross toenails, but I am madly in love with him.
20. It makes me feel good to know that so many people read my blog.  I feel so loved, thanks everyone.

Yes, I’m sick and sappy today.  Keep your fingers crossed I’ll get some punch and attitude back tomorrow.  Being this ill is awful.  I can hardly sit up and type this.

Excuse me while I go hug the toilet.
