Almost Thirty

So you all finally found a meme that is actually interesting. Very well I’ll share some stuff about myself. :p

1- I’m 4’11” tall and less than 100 lbs. I’ve spent my whole life being subjected to one form of short joke or another.

2- I don’t mind short jokes at my expense and can even laugh at some of them, except for being called a midget. That word infuriates me to no end. I can’t be friends with someone who continues using it after I’ve asked them to stop. People think I’m kidding. I’m not.

3- I also hate it when people advice me to use my short status to get handicap privileges. I don’t need to park closer to the store. I can ‘effing walk just fine thank you very much.

4- I was determined to never date let alone marry someone who was a good foot taller than I am. It amuses me that I actually did.

5- Purple is my favorite color but I also adore yellow. I can’t stand it for decorations or clothing, but I love seeing yellow flowers.

6- I have a hard time getting my mind to be quiet. I always have multiple things going on up there. I drove my parents crazy when I was a teen since I was constantly up past midnight. I couldn’t stop thinking about stuff. I’ve since learned to channel it better, but I still do it.

7- I have a habit of remembering details. It’s not quite a photographic memory but close enough that people mistakenly think I’m a stalker. I can’t help it. I read or see something and I tend to remember it.

8- My memory lets me read a chapter for school once and turn around and ace a test on it.

9- Consistently getting 4.0’s has resulted in my being accused of cheating in college and I’ve had to prove that I wasn’t. Twice.

10- I’m fascinated by the concept of true evil. It’s part of what drew me into psychology.

11- I also find most villains in shows shallow and boring as hell. Try watching some documentaries about serial killers to understand this. People like to romanticize villains as if they want to be redeemed. Someone who can be redeemed isn’t evil.

12- I sunburn easily and have purple colored eyes because of an albino gene that I carry. Luckily other than those two effects most of it is dormant. I can pass it on to any kids I have so that bothers me, a lot. Many of the possible complications aren’t nice.

13- I’ve had asthma and lots of allergies since I was a kid. If it’s outside and green, chances are I’m allergic to it. The same goes for most air pollutants and most animals.

14 – On the flip side I don’t have a lot of trouble with veggies and fruits so long as I take my medicine faithfully. I love salads. I’d be sad if I couldn’t eat them.

15- I’m horribly allergic to a lot of insect bites. Without my medicine a simple mosquito bite will get the size of a half dollar and hurt like hell.

16- I’m a very private person. For this reason I rarely share photographs. I don’t mind my picture being taken; I just don’t want the damn thing plastered on the Internet.

17- I’m a good listener and as a result I end up with lots of people coming to me to talk about what’s bothering them. I believe this is because I understand that it’s not necessary to fix someone’s problem. Sometimes the best thing you can do is to simply listen.

18- I rarely offer any form of counseling online because I’m honest enough with myself to know that I’m not interested in giving that much time to someone. Counseling requires a lot of give on the counselor’s part. It’s a lot of work.

19- Because of that people assume I don’t care when they don’t understand that it’s because I do care. I want someone who is truly struggling to go and get the help they really need instead of relying on someone who can’t be there for them.

20- I like yaoi and yuri, people are often startled to find out that I do.

21- I love music with a good strong beat. If it’s too soft or calm I find myself zoning out and ignoring it.

22- I’m extremely stubborn. I can compromise but I can’t give up things that are important to me unless the reason for doing so is equally as important. I’m fortunate to be married to a man who understands and supports this.

23- I love to collect anime art books. I don’t care if I’ve seen the show or not. If I like the artwork, I’ll buy the book. I have well over a hundred of them.

24- I may talk about how short I am but I hate talking about my size. If someone finds out they instantly assume I’m anorexic when I’m not.

25- Putting on weight is a royal pain in the ass for me. If I get sick or I’m in an accident I lose it too easily and then have to struggle to get it back on so I’m not underweight.

26- I have a hard time not being snarky. Believe me I can and do refrain from a lot since its way too easy to be that way. This does not include banter among friends, btw. I don’t count that.

27- Biggest reason I hate memes is usually they’re boring as hell to read. Learning actual information about others is actually fun though.

EDIT: For a certain picky basement cat... ¬_¬

28- I can't drink soda since carbonation makes me throw up.

29- I lost my younger brother to a drive by shooting. I was with him at the time and saw him die.

30- I've been in several car accidents. The most recent being one where we were hit by a drunk driver.

31- I have no tolerance for alcohol. Only one drink is enough to get me wasted so I stay away from the stuff.

32- I've never done illegal drugs. I was afraid my dad, who is a lawyer, would see to it that I went to jail for breaking the law like that. I know better now, but the habit of not experimenting with stuff stuck.
