These are My Confessions

Have you ever heard that Usher song about confessions? Its horrible.

Anyway, I was tagged a while back, and since I cannot think of anything else to blog about this time around (I'm getting desperate, considering I've been blogging about Swedish hockey arenas and bad headlines that aren't really bad) I figured I'd go ahead and do it. So lets get on with it:

13 Confessions

1. I love watching random movies on TV at 2 in the morning. One time we watched "Cold Mountain" from 1 am to 4 am, then had to go to our friends' wedding in Salt Lake the next morning. It was bad.

2. I can't take a shower under 20 minutes. Actually, 20 minutes is pushing it.

3. My most rebellious teenage act was when I didn't speak to my parents for a week. Then I realized they were right.

4. I have stolen from a store a grand total of once in my life. It was a chocolate chip. I was standing next to one of those big bulk bins in the grocery store (I was probably 8 or 9) and saw a bin full of chocolate chips. I'm a sucker for chocolate, so I reached in when my mother wasn't looking and popped one chip in my mouth. It tasted so horrible. Disgusting. I knew instantly what had happened: God had cursed the chocolate chip so it would taste bad because stealing was wrong. I felt horrible. As I walked away I glanced up and saw the sign above the bin: "Sugar-free Chocolate Chips." So that's why it tasted horrible; talk about a guilty conscious. Nevertheless, the lesson stuck and I never stole again.

5. I'm a sucker for chocolate (see #4). We no longer keep it in the house because I have absolutely no self control.

6. I miss being a student. A lot.

7. I don't have a biggest fear. I'm afraid or nervous about a lot of little things, but I don't really have one thing that terrifies me more than anything else.

8. There are certain people that I dislike for absolutely no valid reason. I try to fight it and push it back and ignore it, but I can't help but not like them. (No worries, I can assure you that it isn't you.) Most of the time it happens with total strangers/random not-so-famous people. A few examples are Rick Fox and Kim Clijsters.

9. Sometimes I say things like "I'm thirsty" in front of Chris because I know he'll get up to get me some water. Then when he does I'll say "Oh, no I didn't mean for you to have to get up. I'll get up in a second." But he gets up anyway because he is good to me. And I know he'll get up anyway. Isn't that evil?

10. I love celebrity gossip: People magazine, E! News, etc. Its a horrible waste of time.

11. I blog stalk. (But, honestly, who doesn't?)

12. Sometimes I don't call home because it makes me too homesick. Its easier to pretend home doesn't exist.

13. I truly adore Dr. Pepper.
