Random 

Okay, friends and lovers–it’s time for some random stuff.

1. Frozen Coke slushies are the best slushies, although Cherry definitely comes very close;

2. Sometimes I just want to kiss random people–as long as they don’t have cold sores. 

3. The Everst Tikka House has amazingly awesome food. I’ve had their lunch buffet and their dinner menu–and give them 2 enthusiastic thumbs up. However, if you stay until their lunch closing or their dinner closing, the proprietor will actually take your beverage glass before you’re finished so he can put it in the washer. Odd. He is an exceedingly nice man–but he could be stronger in this area of customer service. It takes away from an otherwise fabulous meal. 

4. Samurai is still my favorite FM restaurant. Bar none. Izumi is a very close second.

5. We all make sacrifices for our friends–and they, ideally, make sacrifices for us. 

6. I have spent a ridiculous amount of time planning the perfect murder. 

7. I kind of love it when people underestimate me. Paging Dr. Freud. 

8. My guy crush (who made my entire month in a two-day span) is the best kisser I have ever encountered–by leaps and bounds, God’s honest truth. Kissing him, literally, makes me weak in the knees

9. If don’t already know who the person in #8 is, you don’t know me well enough to ask. 

10. My favorite color is green–although pink is almost tied with it. 

11. I drive way too aggressively. Although, if I didn’t , I would be probably still be road-rage girl. 

12. I’ve been smiling so hard since Sunday–I hope that this feeling never wears off. 

13. Do artisticly done photos of one’s breasts make good gifts? 

14. What if you have the photos framed for the recipient before giving them as a gift?

15. On a related note, is it narcissistic to have framed photos of one’s breasts and various other parts hanging in one’s own home? 

16. If you use any derogatory words for prostitutes and other sex workers while around me, I will call you out on it, not so politely. Even if I really, really REALLY like you. 

17. I love vanilla tootsie rolls. 

18. The people in my life have absolutely no idea how much I love and cherish them. They make me feel safe. 

19. Most people want to be happy. I’m already happy by my nature–I want safety. 

20. I’m an extremely curious person. And I’m hyper active (ADHD). It’s a hard combination. My mind moves very, very quickly and I always have a ton of questions for everyone, about everything. I always have. I hope that I take my final breath with a head still full of questions. 

21. Although not in my top 5, Amelie and Big Fish are two of my favorite movies. I consider both of them to be aspirational.

22. Although I’ve been mocked and taken advantage of so many times as a result of living this way, but I find people to be endlessly fascinating–and I could listen to them talk about their passions, their struggles/pains and their lives all day long–I genuinely live to inspire others and to make them feel happy, heard and important. Everybody should feel that way, at the very least, most of the time. 

23. Relatedly, I also look for the “beautiful” in every person that I interact with. Some make it a lot harder to find than others. 

24. If I compliment you on something, I mean it. And there is no ulterior motive. 

25. You will always know where you stand with me. Especially if you are no longer welcome to stand with me.

26. I struggle to trust people every, single day. I do this b/c I can’t live with the alternative. 

27. This goes with #26: I get hurt more than I care to admit, but living honestly and fully is worth it. 

28. I do suffer fools; just not very gladly.

29. If you could actually see it happening, know that I probably miss you–even if you think that it stupid, I probably will anyway. 

30. Sometimes, you really don’t have to get me to get what I’m about. I’m here to inspire and encourage b/c genuine passion is intoxicating. And I totally love that. xo
