Day 06 - Write 30 interesting facts about yourself.

A bit of a break in between posts - dramatic effect for the suicide post if you will, since had I (since I alone do) visited my blog during any of the last few days, I may have wondered whether the lack of new posts was indeed indicative of my ultimate demise. But not to worry, me! I simply had a lot of work, and did not really feel like writing a long-ass blog post regarding 30 interesting facts about myself, since I'm not really that interesting. I tried to get motivation from(read: copy and paste) an old Facebook note with a similar subject, but found that it has become largely irrelevant. Nevertheless, I am lazy, and thus have carefully and surreptitiously amalgamated its contents into this blog post.


1. I am from Bulgaria (I lived there until I was seven, then moved to California) (I recently heard this being described as "soooo weird", so I guess it must be interesting)

2. Therefore, I am fluent in Bulgarian and can write in the Cyrillic alphabet...kind of.

3. I like a lot of British things (eg Pink Floyd, Queen, Radiohead, Muse, IAMX, the Mighty Boosh, The IT Crowd, Russell Brand)

4. Sometimes I think in a British accent, but if I try to verbalize these thoughts, I fail miserably.

5. Maybe this is why I actually like IB most of the time.

6. I grew up with/am obsessed with Final Fantasy VIII (but have also played and really like I,II,IV,V, VI, VII, IX, X, Crisis Core and Tactics)...Tomb Raider is another favorite.

7. I have a PlayStation emulator, loads of music, and Doom II on my server space at school.

8. My school computer privileges will probably be revoked any day now... :(

9. I forgot what I was going to write here.

10. Sometimes I talk a lot and end up rambling about something nobody really cares about.

11. Other times, I try to formulate a well-thought-out comment, and end up saying something incredibly stupid which, at the time, I think is the cleverest thing ever said.

12. The most disappointing time in my life was when I didn't get a letter from Hogwarts the summer after I turned 11. Or when I wasn't magically swept away to a garden to complete SeeD training by 15.

13. I like to go on walks without a destination in mind.

14. I usually get lost and end up at Harwood Jr. High, which is ironic because I always try to get as far away from there as possible.

15. I'm STILL not done with my college applications.

16. Now that I'm a Senior, I think back on the past 5 years, and wish I'd gotten to know a lot of people better...I guess there's still time!


(ahem...time compression and black holes and swirling and AAAAAAAAAAAH)

Let's do it again!

17. Now that I'm a Sophomore in college, I think back on high school and feel old.


18.Yet I still view adults (ie anyone even remotely over my age) as adults, as in, big scary people who one must be nice to and respect and whose sagacious ramblings must be remembered as life lessons, no matter how asinine they may be. Or else.


19. On the other hand, I sometimes indulge in a bit of "you young whippersnappers! Why, back in my day..." myself.


20. I guess it all started last summer when a random small child addressed me as "that lady", the naive utterance of a magical incantation which suddenly transformed from Pippi Longstocking into Baba Yaga.

Youuuuuuuuuuuth

21. I am a pathological procrastinator, a compulsive Google-er, Internet addict and somehow manage to exceed my allotted 20GB of network usage every month.

22. I stalk people on Facebook a lot. Even people I don't know. But I've read that this is normal, so I'm ok with it.

23. I love discovering music/books/movies/TV shows that I can add to my collection of favorites 

24. I'm kind of a Trekkie

25. My day is not complete unless I've done or said something which makes no sense whatsoever

26. If left in my natural state, I become nocturnal 

27. When on a nature walk, I always go off the trail. This makes me feel like Lara Croft.

28. Someday I WILL live in California again, the question is whether it shall be as a hobo or a super-awesome successful person.

29. No truly interesting facts about myself can be revealed in list form because this format puts me on the spot, as if I HAVE to suddenly know 30 (or 14) interesting things about myself, which makes me panic, because I don't know if I'm interesting enough to be able to quickly think of that many things, and I don't wanna waste all damn day on this dumb blog post, because I have more interesting things to do (which must therefore mean that I am in some way interesting, and is therefore an interesting thing about me, right?!?).

30. I'm done, bitches!
