8 Random Facts

This is for my friend who tagged me.

1. I don't like water. It has no taste. I rarely drink it, and because of that, I may die of kidney failure if I don't die of a heart attack first. I would much rather have Coke or Tea or something with taste.

2. I have hypertension. I've had high blood pressure since I was in high school. I finally started taking medicine about 6 months ago, and now it's controlled. My blood pressure before medication was 150/100.

3. My two dominant personality priorities are pleasing and superiority (in Adlerian psychology terms). I don't like people not liking me - it makes me uncomfortable. Also, I really try to be the best at everything I do. If I'm not the best, it irks me, and I tend to regress to black/white thinking of assuming I'm the worst.

4. I say I don't like cheese. BUT I like pizza and enchiladas and have even started taking cheese and crackers to school as part of my lunch. However, if you ask me, I will say I don't like cheese because I have never liked cheese. I believe I don't like cheese because I don't like grilled cheese sandwiches (gross!!) or cheese on my salads.

5. My apartment is a mess. It is probably the messiest apartment in the world. OK, that might be an exaggeration. People are always surprised to hear this. I used to be a clean freak. Now, I seem to be the complete opposite of that. I only clean when I have to...and I rarely, rarely have to.

6. I iron all my dress shirts and most of my dress slacks. I'm too poor to take them to the cleaners. I've been ironing since I was a freshman in college, and I'm pretty good at it now. Most people think I take my shirts to the cleaners, but I don't.

7. My favorite food is Bar-B-Q. That's why I want to live in Abilene...because of the BBQ.

8. One of my dreams is to live in a foreign country as an advisor to college students studying abroad. That way, it won't be so expensive (I'll live in university housing) and I'll get to teach at the same time. How cool would that be.

I know that's pretty boring, but that's what I got. I hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for reading.
