Random Facts

           hello.....yeah, so today I'm really lazy. I slept for 8 hours and then took a nap for 3 hours, so I'm quite drowsy right now. After that, I remembered that I had to post a blog post.
          Because I planned out some ideas beforehand, I realized that today's post would be about my random facts. It cheered me up instantly (like this - :D) because that means that I don't have to try too hard xDDD
          Before we start, some of these facts are really general and may be quite random. I'll be explaining them a bit thoroughly, if needed.

• I am 5 foot 8 inches tall (well....almost xD)

• I have dry and sensitive skin. <- I clearly got the short-end of the stick for this one because it sucks. Like sometimes my face will peel, or when I apply moisturizer on my face, it burns. -.-

• I brush twice a day and floss every night. <- The weird thing is that I brush my teeth before eating breakfast, when it makes kind of more sense to brush after >.< But, that's how I was taught. So be it. Oh, and the flossing. That actually came about when I went to the dentist in 8th grade and I had to get some fillings for my adult teeth and then get my teeth washed(which hurt, btw). Then after that,  I realized that I needed to take better care of my teeth. I've actually thought about getting mouthwash too, which I'll probably get someday xDD 

• I have a lot of anxiety....enough said.

• I am horrified at the sight of snakes in books and horror movies. <- I realized that I was scared of snakes, or thought I was scared, when I got this Urban Dictionary for Kids. It had pictures to go with the labels. Snakes was one of them. I couldn't even stare at the page without being frightened. But then, like a few years ago, I walked by a classroom when I went to the washroom and saw some sort of snake presentation and wasn't frightened what-so-ever. -.- ...never liked that book. As for the horror movies, I just get nightmares when I watch one. Probably due to anxiety.

• I can't snap. <- I don't get why I can't do it. It sounds fine when I snap with wet fingers, but if not, it'll sound really dull.

• I used to crack my toes all the time. <- This habit actually came from my grandpa, when he was taking care of my brother and I when we were younger. He always did it, so we asked him how to do it and then we started cracking our toes pretty much daily. I don't do it as much now, but occasionally~

• My hands can meet around the middle of my back. <- This doesn't seem too difficult for someone to do, but it's kind of like if you're double-jointed: You either are, or you aren't. I think it is the same with this.  I learned that I could do this when I was stretching my biceps and triceps. So, basically, you stretch one arm down your back and one arm up your back. If you're fingers connect, then you can do this. However, some people can only do it with their right or left arm going down. I can do it with both :3

• I prefer TV shows with real, live people rather than animated characters or cartoons. <- I have watched SpongeBob Sqaurepants and what-not, but I prefer watching something like iCarly or Victorious. I think it's because it is more realistic o.o

• I use a reusable water bottle solely because I don't want to use plastic water bottles. <- This actually ties into a lot of things. I'm one of those people that chase you around if you don't turn off a light (HA, I almost said "shut a light" xD), or a tap, when you aren't using it. Same with this: Reusable > Plastic.

• I cut my own hair. <- Normally my mom would cut it, but because in the past, I've gotten hair up to my ears and many haircuts that turn out to be shorter than I prefer, I decided to take it into my own hands. I actually have a lot of fun with it, although it takes a lot more time -____-. I normally just trim my hair every 3 months and cut more layers every 6 months. I'm trying to get my hair to grow longer, so this schedule may get altered.

• I've experimented with make-up before. <- This may not be too much of a surprise, but I don't wear make-up. (SHOCKER xD) No, but really, I tried to wear it occasionally in 8th grade but that faded away and so now I'm kind of left in a, "Do I? Or do I not?" phase. Plus, it looks really foreign when you first put on make-up as opposed to seeing someone who has worn it daily.

         Here it is. Yes, it is a little lame, but it was one of the easier posts for me to write ^.^ (My knuckles are itchy >.<) I guess I will talk to you on Wednesday, if I'm not dead lazy, like I sort of am today. BYEEEE

Bloomed -> Blooming~
