Better Late Than Never

So a little bit ago, Girl S threw down a challenge for us all to share 10 secrets. I know there was some sort of deadline, and I'm positive I missed it...mostly because I forgot how to post to this thing! (Don't tell Girl A). Girl S's post was motivated by her dislike of Halloween, so it's only appropriate that I lead off the ten things you don't know about Girl M with:

1) I'm not a fan of Thanksgiving. It's the only major holiday that does not have booze associated with it. Christmas has spiked eggnog, valentine's day has champagne (or roofie-coladas, depending on where you are in the relationship), Easter has church wine (Jesus Juice), Paddy's day has guinness, and July 4th has jungle juice and bud light. What does Thanksgiving have? Family. WITHOUT. ALCOHOL. Doesn't seem right, yo. I can't drink a turkey.

2) Sometimes I wonder if I actually have a drinking problem. I don't really think I do...but if I found out I did...I wouldn't be shocked. (I'd probably just be drunk). I think I could definitely stop drinking if I wanted to...I just can't imagine ever wanting to. Guinness is just too damn good.

3) If someone put a gun to my head, I still couldn't name a single Justin Beiber song. I can't tell him and Emma Watson apart.

4) I used to be convinced I would be famous for something - not sure what - probably something totally random. Like the first girl to ever drink a turkey or something. And then I would pretend that Ellen was interviewing me, and in the interview, I would tell Ellen how I used to pretend that she was interviewing me. So it would go a little something like this "Oh my gosh Ellen, I have to confess, before I was famous I used to pretend that you were interviewing me when I was in the shower or something. It's so embarassing now that I'm famous." I still do this in the shower.

5) Unless I'm in a bar or other similarly gross public place, I just go ahead and plop right down on the toilet seat. I work hard. I play hard. I'm tired...and sometimes it feels like the bathroom is one of the only places where it's quiet (depending on what I had for dinner)where I can relax. Squatting above the seat reminds me of having to do wall sits when we would train for volleyball in high school. Aint nuthin relaxing about that. Also - I have never, nor will I ever, use one of those paper ring things that some nicer places have for you to put down on the seat before you sit on it. I figure if they've got their shit together enough to have paper butt protectors, their seats are probably pretty clean in the first place.

6) Sometimes I have very serious, legitimate concerns that I'm too gross.

7) If I could have one wish, it would be that I could write music.

8) If I hadn't doomed myself to professional life by going to law school, I think would have sleeves by now.

9) I have no idea what I'm doing. A little bit of me sorta hopes I never figure it out. It's more fun not knowing...and secretly hoping that maybe I really will get famous and be interviewed by Ellen.

10) I feel more at home in places I've never lived.
