Insomnia

I couldn't sleep and decided, after spending the last four hours reading blogs, that maybe I should start my own. The whole concept of a blog seems stupid for me because I don't know who would read it, thereby making it difficult for me to write something entertaining according to that particular reader's interests. Also, contrary to my insistent need to talk at all times, I don't share many poignant details about my life because it makes me defensive thinking about anyone "in my business." It's an irrational mode of thinking, but my privacy has always been forefront to my actions, so there you are.

That being said, I suppose I will have to make this blog relate only harmless details. Tonight I'll share ten facts about myself in the hopes that I won't ever have to do that again, and can, in the future, write instead about events safe in the knowledge that my reader(s) understand the character of the author. So here goes:

1. I don't like people in general.

2. I pretend to like people because they can't help being people and really, there's no need to be rude about it.

3. My favorite color is yellow because it's so cheerful and brightens anything, including my mood.

4. I love road trips but hate long car rides.

5. Having nine sisters, I think I understand the female psyche pretty well, but men frankly baffle me.

6. I have a deep and abiding love for chocolate but the smell of flowers (particularly roses) makes me feel nauseated.

7. I enjoy the freedom of college but am terrified of life after school.

8. I don't handle serious commitment very well.

9. I'd rather burn to death than freeze to death.

10. My biggest pet peeve is rude people; they make me want to be seriously rude to them.

Now you know everything about me. May it serve you well.
