Things about me III

(cont from 2006)

109. My favorite animal is a monkey.
110. My latest favorite ice cream flavor is "chocolate whiskey brownie" from Screme. Wow.
111. I am a tea girl. Especially with nana.
112. I need to find some bars with fireplaces for the winter.
113. I need to earn some money so I can go skiing.
114. I need to find a new roommate. Ideally someone who is never around.
115. I am on an event committee for the first time after all these years.
116. I am becoming more removed from Judaism. Culturally, I cling to it.
117. I don't think I believe in G-d!
118. I just bought $10 sandals (originally $80). Go me!
119. I'm hoping my shoemaker will make me a very happy girl 'cause I can't afford new tall sexy boots!
120. I need to find some really good reading material (fiction)
121. I need to find some good websites with news synopses and links for more detailed reporting and analyses. I simply lack the patience to browse the NYT website anymore. I am really not informed anymore and it makes me feel stupid when others start talking about politics and healthcare and whatnot.
122. Part of why I haven't been reading the news is that I'm kind of apathetic. I simply don't see how things directly affect me, so I'm not interested. (how's that for self-absorption!?)
123. I still look at married people as grown-ups while singles simply haven't reached that milestone yet. Even my friends who are pushing 40. (!)
124. I have a big crush, but I don't think it's gonna happen. Story of my life. He's a couple years younger, ba'al teshuva, sweet, and kind of an enigma to me.
125. I am on the national board of an organization now. Wow. Unfortunately, it doesn't really carry responsibility.
126. Israel - or aliyah, at least - seems like a pipe dream now.
127. I need more art in my life. Actively creating art is very relaxing and enjoyable to me.
128. I saw five guys who I had hooked up with on Simchas Torah. It doesn't even really faze me anymore!
129. I need to get out more. There is SO much to do here that I don't take advantage of. I am only going to be young and single in New York City for a little while longer (b'ezrat hashem... and I say I'm not religious!)
130. I am so unproductive. It's more than procrastinating. It's like an active decision to do nothing. What's wrong with me?
131. I really like to dance and will do so alone in front of my mirror!
132. I rarely take taxis.
133. I should take up pilates again.
134. I've still got game (at least 2 cuties hit on me this past Saturday night).
135. I would like to see the Kandinsky exhibit at the Guggenheim. That's my kind of art.
136. I am thinking about giving this blog URL to my best friend. She knows everything anyway.
137. I still actively try to anonymize what I write in this blog. I'm so paranoid that someone will find out my identity. In fact, I'm pretty close to figuring out the identity of another New York blogger that I've been following.
138. I have a pen-pal with bipolar disorder, but we don't write that often. She is great to share experiences with... oh and she is the only one who reads this blog that has met me in person!
139. I give really good massages.
140. I enjoy walking in the rain. Without an umbrella.
141. I am the world's slowest shopper. Because I'm indecisive. And broke.
142. I am a total extrovert, but I haven't been able to "type" my personality completely. My answers are never conclusive.
143. I recently made my second shidduch (match). Two good friends met through me and are now seriously dating. This makes me happy. They are both wonderful people.
144. I get Time Out New York for free. I don't know why, but I don't complain. It's my Bible for what to do in New York. And I like the "Get Naked" column :)
145. I dread winter because depression lurks behind every corner.
146. I love winter because I can ski. And wear cute hats. And have hot chocolate. And go sledding, too!
147. I used to love gymnastics. I would love to go to a weekly class for grown-ups where I could jump on a trampoline, do the trapeze and all other sorts of fun things! (Well I could, but it would cost a fortune. It's called Chelsea Piers.)
148. I think I have had "Resume" on my to-do list every day for the last few years!
149. I am lucky for so many reasons and I rarely appreciate it enough.
150. I pity myself way too much. It probably impedes progress.
151. I worry about my parents' relationship.
152. I love to drive. Such a feeling of freedom.
153. I have become much more old-fashioned when it comes to dating. I actually follow some of "The Rules."
154. I have great hair and a pretty good body. I should do more to maintain the latter!
155. I enjoy having girlfriends over for TV or movie nights.
156. I graduated college summa cum laude.
157. I used to love Arby's roast beef sandwiches.
158. I keep kosher out of habit. But I don't think I could ever not.
159. I love hosting meals and parties, but I get very stressed out.
160. Several of my friends have written books. I should get around to doing that.
161. I am a total grammar FREAK. Errors in spelling, apostrophes and homonyms especially drive me up the wall. It really causes me to judge people when I find out they are so incompetent (on facebook, in advertisements, etc.)
162. I love my bed. I love sharing it, too :)
