things about me that have not changed since i was a little kid

1. i still really like kittens, maybe not as much as my grandma thinks, but the love is still strong

2. i still really like bacon, again maybe not as much as my grandma thinks, but the love is still strong

3. when i hear a song i really really like i will play it over and over and over until i grow sick of it. this started with such hits as the theme from neverending story, time after time, and i've got a crush on you and has grown into maxwell's cover of this woman's work and my recent find, clem snide's cover of i'll be your mirror.

3a. i will still play the bangles' cover of hazy shade of winter over and over. when i was a kid i taped over my barbie and the rockers tape with this song just repeating to the end. at 12 (i think i was 12) i would sit in my bed, listening to this and writing my novel about 3 girls named annie, brilliantly titled "the annie chronicles" this novel, sadly, remains unfinished.

3b. i'm still pretty crap with titles

4. i can still consume ungodly amounts of candy. left alone with 1,000,000 pixi stix i would be finished with all of them in under 4 hours. i am more shocked than anyone that i still have teeth.

5. i will always and forever hate the following chores: taking out the trash, doing the dishes, and mopping

6. i would rather be reading a book most of the time

7. i still like to pretend i'm famous and that i'm being interviewed

8. i still like to dance around the house like a maniac (to the song maniac if possible) when i am home alone

9. i eat reese's peanut butter cups the same way (nibble around the edge until finished)

10. i am still prone to unreasonable bouts of anger although they are less likely to take the form of a tantrum and but just as likely to involve protracted bouts of sulking

11. i still laugh at jokes about private parts and bodily functions.
