In the Meantime...

I think I'll fill out one of these meme-thingies.

1. Maybe I should figure out what kind of lawyer I want to be. And whether I even want to be a lawyer. And how to let go of disappointment.

2. I love the smell of gardenias, honeysuckle, Acqua di Gio cologne, my hair after a visit to the salon, and the salty air when I first arrive at the beach.

3. People would say that I'm hard on the outside ("bitchy") and soft on the inside ("sensitive").

4. I don't understand why everyone likes Obama so much. Or why gas prices keep going up. Or why it's so damn hard for me to just relax and be happy in a relationship.

5. When I wake up in the morning I immediately turn on The Today Show.

6. I lost my willpower to exercise on a regular basis. When I was in college, I had no trouble fitting workouts into my schedule. Hell, walking from my apartment to class was a workout! Since then, I've tried to come up with some sort of routine, but the fact is, I'm lazy and I don't like exercising.

7. It's nice to be self-sufficient. Sometimes I look around my apartment and think, I am so glad that this is ALL MINE. (Well, at least until my lease is up.) "I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T, do you know what that means?"

8. I don't always need to be in a relationship. I'll admit that I don't handle break-ups very well, but once I get through the "hard time," I really don't mind being alone.

9. Life is meant to be shared with people who make you laugh.

10. My past is well-documented. I used to be a little...shall we say..."compulsive" about writing down everything I did, every day. I called it my Daily Log. Okay, actually, I still kind of keep up with it, but in much less detail.

11. I get annoyed when my gas tank is empty, when I have to sit in traffic, and when I have to repeat myself.

12. Parties are much more fun when they're at someone else's house. Clean-up's a bitch.

13. Dogs are a good excuse for people to go for walks. Without a dog, you feel kind of lazy for not running.

14. Cats have been great companions for me. Unfortunately, I'm currently without one.

15. Tomorrow is Saturday! And it's supposed to be 80 degrees and sunny! That's, like, the definition of a perfect day. (Knock on wood.)

16. I have a low tolerance for disrespect. When people have earned respect, I think they should be treated with it.

17. I'm totally terrified of having my mouth wired shut for three weeks. What if I need to cough? What if I start to choke? What if I can't breathe? (Enter Lorazepam. Don't judge me; you'd probably want some, too.)

18. I wonder if I'll ever write a book. I want to, but I just don't know if I have the dedication. Or the time. Or the talent.

19. High school was okay, but college was way better.

20. When I'm nervous I shake. Uncontrollably.

21. Take my advice: Be selective about what you tell people. In my experience, it is very rare to find someone who can (or will) keep a secret. Very rare.

22. Making my bed is something that I only do when I've just washed my sheets, or when I'm having people over.

23. I'm almost always thinking about trips I want to take. And how to squeeze them all in, when I only have 12 vacation days each year!

24. I'm addicted to shopping.

25. I want someone to pay me to plan events for them. I mean, I sit around planning things all the time anyway, why not get paid for it?
