100 things

Yes, it’s the ubiquitous “100 things about me post.”  Why not, right?  I mean everybody else is doing it.

“If everybody else jumped off a bridge…?”  No, shhhh.
100.  I never once snuck out of my house when I was younger.
99. I’m afraid that somewhere in this list I’m going to run out of things to say and start adding in mundane facts like “my favorite color is pink” and “I like chicken.”
98. I don’t eat shellfish.  I’m not allergic, I just don’t like shellfish.
97.  My last name should be Rosenberg, not Ross, but my dad changed it before I was born because there was already an Alvin Rosenberg in the world of music PR when he was starting out in the industry.
96. I have ruined more than one friendship with a guy by letting the friendship become sexual.
95. I am unbelievably impatient.
94. I have done things that you would not approve of (whoever you are.)
93. I am judgmental of others.
92. I like being inappropriate.
91. I try to surround myself with people who are smarter than me.  (Conversely, I tend not to surround myself with people who are more attractive than I am.)
90. I like walnuts better than almonds.
89. I have seen every single episode of: Friends, Sex and the City, Grey’s Anatomy, and The West Wing.
88. I have spent 8+ hours a day watching the above listed TV shows on DVD (and felt guilty/worthless about it afterward).
87. I don’t hate going to the gynecologist.
86. I am still friends with my 6th grade boyfriend.
85. I find that the girls who say that they don’t get along with other girls are the most petty and shallow people I know.
84. I wear a 34C.
83. I’m terrified of having to give an epi-pen injection to one of the kids at my camp who suffers from anaphylactic allergies.
82. I am an obsessive text messager.
81. I have never been on an organized sports team, not once.
80. I love the nights I spend with Jessica drinking wine and watching porn.  I am definitely a fan of porn.
79. I feel that almost everyone in my life expects me to be “on” all the time, and it’s a lot of pressure.
78. I love when people dress their dogs in little sweaters.  Similarly, I like animals in Halloween costumes.
77. I have a thing about not posting on my blog more than once a day.
76. My favorite physical feature is my breasts.
75. My least favorite is my stomach (this is the part of my body that I am obsessing about when I say things like “ah I’m getting so fat.”)
74. When I say things like “ah I’m getting so fat,” what I really mean is: “I’m not in as good of shape as I’d like to be/as I used to be and am mad at myself about it, even though I acknowledge that I’m not actually fat.”
73. I like getting Brazilian waxes.
72. Every time I hear my voice on an answering machine or in a video or something, I cringe and ask whoever I’m with if “that’s how I really sound, like in real life.”
71.  I test people’s love, even though I know that doing so is a sure way to lose it.
70. I am not emotionally independent.  I can’t truly enjoy a good thing or get over a bad thing without first sharing it with someone else (or multiple other people).
69. Sometimes I enjoy being depressed.
68. I have three tattoos and seven piercings.
67. I get irrationally annoyed when electronic things stop working (like my cell phone, computer, ipod) and want to throw them against the wall.  In college, I had to secure my third alarm clock in place with adhesive stickers because I broke the first two by throwing them against the wall.
66. I am attracted to men who have strong, sexy hands.  The same applies to men who smell good.
65. I don’t really believe that there is a perfect somebody for everybody.  I think that’s too easy.  I think that one person could be happy with a lot of different people, and that relationships take work.
64. I do, however, believe in soul mate friends.
63. I have never been arrested.  I’ve never even gotten a parking ticket.
62. I pretend that I don’t like/am too much of a foodie for chain restaurants, but really? I love them.

60. I have never been in a real, physical fight.
59. Sometimes I am proud of being in therapy and sometimes I am ashamed of it.
58. The first time I gave head was in the top bunk in a dorm room at the University of Michigan the summer after 9th grade (I was there for a student enrichment program for high schoolers).
57. I am the most turned on by scandalous/forbidden things.
56. When turned on, I’m pretty sure I get wetter than most other women.
55. I’m suddenly very self-conscious about #56.
54. I like wearing fleece, even though it’s almost always hideous.
53. I think I need a tonsillectomy, but am too terrified of surgery to really look into it.
52. I am a girly drinker (wine, fruity cocktails, frozen drinks, anything sweet).
51. I am guilty of over sharing information with people who probably didn’t want to know said information in the first place.
50. I sweat really easily and have considered getting prescription deodorant.
49. I worked as a runner on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange the summer after my sophomore year in high school.  I was the youngest person on the entire trading floor and one of the only girls.  I don’t think I ever paid for lunch.
48.  During my summer at the NYSE I simultaneously hooked up with two guys who absolutely hated each other and would often come close to getting into fights at work.  Neither of them knew that I was hooking  up with both of them.  In retrospect, this is totally why I did it.
47. I used to play the clarinet, but quit as soon as there was no longer a musical requirement at my middle school.
46. I used to be almost fluent in Spanish and American Sign Language, but now I hardly remember any of either language.

39. My lowest weight as an adult was 118 lbs, although this was at a very bad time in my life.

36. I used to collect stamps and dice. I have no clue what happened to either collection.
35. I don’t steal things because I know I’d get caught, not because I am morally opposed.
34. I love drinking games and don’t play them enough now that I’m out of college.
33. There is a part of my expensively educated mind that believes that calories consumed standing up in the kitchen in the dark don’t count.
32. I just recently started liking bbq flavored potato chips.
31. Two of my favorite quotes are:
-“There are years that ask questions, and years that answer.” Zora Neale Hurston
-“A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.” Jackie Robinson
30. I lie about insignificant things all the time.
29. Whenever I get pimples, I pop them, even though I have little scars from doing this in the past.
28. I wish I was a person who scrapbooked.
27. I have cheated on more than one boyfriend.
26. I make a lot of excuses.
25. I balance my checkbook obsessively.
24. I have exchanged “I love yous” with a handful of guys, but the two times I really meant it, I was the one who said it first.
23. When I say something dumb I hear my own idiotic, embarrassing words echoing in my head for like a full minute after I’ve said them.
22. I crack my toes but never my fingers.

14. I love the way sunflowers look, but hate the way they smell.
13. My two favorite dirty words are cock and fuck.
12. I eat too much pasta.
11. I’m not as interesting as people think I am.
10. There are two serious and personal things that I have not yet blogged about, because I don’t know how to begin and because I’m scared of what people will think.
9. I can climax from normal intercourse really easily.
8. I hate the sounds my cell phone makes and try to always keep it on vibrate.
7. I say internet things like “jk” and “btw” outloud and in public (even though it makes me die inside a little bit every time I do it.)
6. I associate food with love.
5. I like to wrap myself in warm laundry.
4. I get annoyed when people tell me that I talk fast.  Do they think they are the first insightful people to point this out?  I don’t need to slow down; you need to listen faster.
3. I don’t like how everyone I know seems to have gotten progressively less fun since college (myself included).
2. I am an extremist. With me, everything is either black or white, up or down, all or nothing.  (This is why I have so much trouble staying balanced.)
