The Meme of Three

Snagged from [personal profile] slaymesoftly.

THREE WAYS I AM STILL A KID
1. I'm afraid of the dark. (The only reason I don't still sleep with a nightlight is because there's enough light pollution that I don't need one.)
2. I hate wearing shoes.
3. I love sugary kid's cereal.

THREE WAYS I AM ALREADY OLD
1. My joints creak and pop and ache far more than they should for someone not yet thirty.
2. I would rather stay in and watch TV than go out on weekends.
3. I get my hair colored to hide the grey.

THREE THINGS I WANT TO DO
1. Travel more
2. Lose thirty pounds
3. Have a serious relationship that lasts more than a year?

THREE WAYS THAT I’M A STEREOTYPICAL “BOY”
1. I have no beauty regimen: I don't use any special products on my face or my skin. I never get manicures or pedicures. Most of the time, I don't wear any makeup.
2. I hate shopping. I love the end result of owning new things, but the actual going to stores and picking things out? Blech. Especially clothes shopping. I HATE trying on clothes.
3. My dad and I have burping contests.

THREE WAYS THAT I’M A STEREOTYPICAL “GIRL”
1. I call my dad whenever anything breaks in my house or car.
2. I will wear clothes or shoes that are wildly uncomfortable, as long as it makes me look pretty.
3. Bugs freak me out. They are GROSS and I am not above screaming if they sneak up on me.

THREE NEW THINGS I WANT TO TRY IN THE NEXT 12 MONTHS
1. Find a new (better) job.
2. Make new friends.
3. I don't really have a third?

THREE THINGS I LIKE ABOUT MYSELF
1. I have a good (and snarky) sense of humor
2. I'm intelligent
3. I'm responsible and generally capable of handling grown-up type problems

THREE THINGS I STRONGLY DISLIKE ABOUT MYSELF
1. My social anxiety
2. My body
3. My utter lack of time management skills

THREE THINGS THAT SCARE ME
1. DC drivers
2. Children
3. Failure

THREE OF MY EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS
1. Internet
2. My kitty
3. Water (seriously, I drink like a gallon of it)

THREE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE OPPOSITE SEX (OR SAME) THAT APPEAL TO ME
1. Sense of humor (especially the ability to be self-deprecating)
2. Pretty eyes and a good smile
3. Musical talent

THREE THINGS I JUST CAN’T DO
1. Play video games. I blame my parents for never letting me as a kid. Now it's just embarrassing to try to learn.
2. Ice skate. I have horribly weak ankles.
3. Tolerate stupidity.

THREE CAREERS I’M CONSIDERING
1. Well, my actual career, which is politics/government relations/lobbying type stuff.
2. I think I'd make an excellent TV critic.
3. I still haven't completely given up on the idea that someday I will be a Broadway star. :-P

Fellow social anxiety suffer here, and I so hear you. That would definitely end up on my 'Things I strongly dislike about myself' list as well.

Also, you have a kitty? What kind is she/he?

I hate shopping too. Even if I'm in the mood for it, it passes very quickly and I'm ready leave. Very frustrating for those "shopping" with me.

LOL My daughter likes to shop with me because she can casually put her things on the counter with mine and wander away while I pay. :)
