Stefanie, how do you do it!?!

Once again, this blog post is squarely the fault of Stef, who challenged me (amongst others) to write 10 honest things about myself on the blog and then challenge other bloggers. Sadly, I don't know many other bloggers - particularly who weren't already challenged by Stef - so that part is gone. What follows are 10 honest things about me - but I warn you...they are uncharacteristically honest - don't read ahead if you don't want to know what sort of messed up psyche exists up here in this head of mine...(that just makes you want to read it more doesn't it!).

Here goes:

1 - I HONESTLY think I'm delightful - seriously, how messed up is that?

2 - I keep people at a distance, mostly because I haven't decided where my life will take me, and I need to be able to leave at any given moment - as a result, I start relationships with the end already in mind. I enjoy them immensely, don't get me wrong, and I love the people I surround myself with...but I keep myself distant enough that when I leave, which I inevitably do, it won't upset the balance too much.

3 - as a result of 2, I tend to make better friends with couples rather than individuals - that way, of the 3 of us, I'm the least important, and therefore easiest to lose.

4 - I'm aware of how stupid 2 and 3 are, yet find myself doing it over and over again, regardless. It's how I feel comfortable...Pretty sick, huh?

5 - I generally have the same eating habits I had when I was 6 years old, and have to force myself to eat like a grown up.

6 - I have an ongoing battle in my head because I honestly believe two things - that I'm smart, and that I'm unqualified. Those two opposing beliefs cause for some interesting emotions.

7 - Related: I don't share emotions - at least, not unhappy ones.

8 - I enjoy the theatre - deal with it.

9 - More than anything, I am instantly attracted to laughter.

10 - I have recently found my dream job, and it is such a relief to feel that way (now if only I were qualified...; )


That's that! I'll be checking all your blogs soon...however, it just occured to me that only a couple of people even know I'm writing on mine again...excellent...

I just LOVE seeing my strange pullover you take center stage on your blog...gives me the warm fuzzies.

I never felt you kept me and Nate (couple friend) at a distance, in fact just the opposite. That could account for the tremendous pain we still feel at the mere mention of your name....is that enough guilt for one day? No? I will come back tomorrow.

I KID, I KID!

Anywho....PROUD of you for getting your dream job and believe me you are OVER qualified.

Miss you!

Stefanie Raynes said...

oh...and you ARE a delight!

(I said that in my granny voice)

Syke! said...

Haha - well, you are one of the exceptions Stef - for some reason I feel compelled to tell you everything - particularly embarrassing stories about my past!! I still don't know how you do it!

Also, you are not only super smart, a totally talented writer, and a great mom, but I once saw you without glasses and I still thought you were cool - even cool enough to hang out with Nate - and that is super cool, cause I think we all feel that way about Nate.

...and YOU are a delight (although, of course, I agree that I also am one...what's wrong with me!)

See you soon - I'll be there maybe at Christmas, and possibly in January! I think we should have a Dexter marathon in January!! Season 4 will be over, there will be NO waiting! You in?

Stefanie Raynes said...

YES! Need you even ask about the Dexter marathon? I will be there will bells on...literally...I plan on wearing a bell necklace throughout the holidays for festive's sake.

YOU are a DELIGHT!

Um, you are BOTH utter delights. Loving the love. Brett, someday I hope to be as cool and self-aware as you are. It's nice to have goals. And for the record, few things scare me more than Dexter. I'm just saying...
