1) When I like a song, I REALLY like a song. I will play it over and over again until my ears bleed and my friends want to scream. My latest obsession is T.I's, Dead and Gone featuring Justin Timberlake: http://hypem.com/artist/t+i++ft++justin+timberlake. No doubt I will be over it in a days time.

2) I am an avid self tanner applier. Every morning around 7:00AM I slather up to maintain this lovely glow. I actually quite hate the routine but if I didn't do anything I would more than likely look scarily translucent. Not only would I never get a date but people might mistake me for a ghost...and that's not good around Christmas time.

3) I am not a fan of large crowds; more specifically, large drunk crowds. Halloween in SF? I cringe. New Years? My ass hurts just thinking about all the drunk slappings I'll get out at some nasty club. I try to avoid at all costs but for some reason I'm always convinced by friends to make it out. It's rare that I'm grateful.

4) You don't want to know me in the morning if I haven't had my coffee. It's my crack, I love it, and no amount of caffeine induced anxiety could ever get me to stop. I could be poor and shuffling in the streets, panhandling for money JUST to get my cup of coffee in the morning.

5) I HATE it when people say, "take care," as they're leaving. I loathe it! You might as well just tell me to fuck off and have a nice life because it essentially means the same thing in my eyes.

6) I'm going to end on a positive note. I am a hopeless romantic. Despite all of the "rock bottoms" I've hit when it comes to my love life, I still believe that my knight in shining armor is out there. Call me a nut but hey, whatever gets me through the day, right?

Narcissist in Training

In a world where reality television, social networking sites and blogging are shoved down our throats on a daily basis, I can’t help but ask the question: When did we become so narcissistic? We’re all entitled to be consumed with our daily lives; after all, how would anything get done? But when people find it necessary to “Twitter” their every move, “I’m eating a beef burrito with cheese,” or, “I just watched Four Christmases and it sucked ass,” which btw, it did; isn’t that crossing some sort of egotistical line? What’s next? Will people go as far as to resort to documenting their bowel movements? At least that would make me laugh. “Just took massive dump. Felt great.”

The bottom line is that most of us would love for others to believe that our lives are as exciting as we think they are, but let’s be honest, most of us don’t give two shits about whether you made it to Safeway yesterday. I know I don’t. I'm not even that interested in myself! How can I criticize, though, when I’ve jumped on the blogging bandwagon as well? I may not blog about my day-to-day life but I’m certainly under the impression that others might care about certain life events, epiphanies, or profound thoughts that occur. I may be totally off there and that’s why as a writer, I would love some feedback as to what you all want to hear. Let’s here it…I want the goods.
