100 things about me

i read this on someone else's blog -the name of which i cannot remember- and i thought it was a cool way for all y'all to get to know me a little better...

i may not get 100 on the first go-round, especially because i am fucking tired and i want them to be good things, but i promise that there WILL be 100...eventually

1. my dad was born in kingston jamaica
2. my favourite word in the english language is fuck. i use it a lot but try to balance out it's use by using big/difficult words when appropriate
3. i believe completely in the existence of ghosts
4. my favourite colour is orange. well, it is right now but it changes a lot.
5. my first kiss was at summer camp with a french-canadian boy named etienne...to this day i still love the french canadians
6. jewish boys make "my vagina explode!"*
7. my favourite school novel study book was "the wars" by timothy findley
8. i have an honours degree in theatre and i work (barely) as a secretary (barely)
9. my lack of computer knowledge is shameful for a member of my generation
10. i am really mad that no one besides clint eastwood ever wins oscars
11. if forced to choose would rather fuck christina aguilara than britney spears
12. i was 13 the first time i fell in love. i'm now getting over love #3
13. my favourite colour of eyeshadow is made by m*a*c and is called "trax"...it's really good for workin' the heroine chic look
14. i am WAY too fat to pull of heroine chic
15. i alienate people with the volume at which i speak
16. the best concert i ever saw in my life was 'bright eyes' at the commodore ballroom (in vancouver) on october 18, 2004
17. i got my first cd player in the early 90s and the first cd i bought was by soul asylum. i wish i still had that album
18. i would've had sex with any one of the five backstreet boys if it meant i could have been on oprah
19. i saw one of my favourite actors (callum keith rennie...aka: billy fucking tallent) while i was on my way to play last summer and didn't have the testes to talk to him...i did almost trip, however
20. on my 20th birthday over 3000 people died. (wow, to see that in writing puts shit in perspective...)
21. i love using and being any number of ridiculous cliches
22. i wish my hair was straight so i could properly pull of an ironic angular haircut.
23. i have beautiful penmanship except i don't really like the way i write the letter 'a'...i'm working on new styles all the time so maybe something cool will come of it.
24. i find it difficult to type with my wrist bandaged (from tattooing)
25. i tried to try and kill myself once when i was 14 with a razor...not a razor blade but one of those disposable kinds...it didn't work to well and i was really happy. i was never good at those cries for help.
26. i saw a girl on the street with new pink hair (and consequently a pink face) and it made me a little nostalgic...or a lot nostalgic...for the days when i was dying my face pink.
27. on the stereo beside my computer sits a purple duck with devil ears being shadowed from the sun by a red paper umbrella. he is always comfortable
28. there is a point in conversation where all things have been said on a topic and my immediate response at that second is to say, 'fuck it!' and ramble incoherantly until the subject has changed.

30. i would like to kiss a boy who was VERY tall so i have to stand on my tiptoes or someone who my exact height.
31. currently my bed is covered with dark lavendar jersey cotton sheets
32. i have listened to NOTHING but tom waits for the past three days and will probably listen to nothing but tom waits for the next three days
33. i tend not to generalize about myself but make sweeping and crass generalizations about other people and/or situations...nothing derogatory but sweeping and crass nonetheless
34. my favourite puntuation is the ellipse...which i over- and mis-use at will
35. i have some issues with my digestive system: i am lactose intolerant and suffer mildly from irritable bowel syndrom. these conditions are made worse by my body's sadistic desire to menstruate.
36. i get school girl crushes really easily and usually have 5 or 6 at a time and no one is safe. this evening is no exception
37. i just, like JUST, punched my sister in the face by total accident
38. as much as i want someone to tell me i am beautiful, more than anything i want someone to tell me that i am smart and that my intellegence is the reason they love me
39. i want to be with someone who is able to cover me completely with his arms. i want someone whom i can disappear into...if only metaphorically...
40. i once went on a date with a guy from a chat room because he told me i had nice legs. we saw 'the rock' and i have never been able to look at nicolas cage in the same way.
42. the last guy i fooled around with had 2 genital piercings
43. i once contemplated a clit piercing but realised that i couldn't handle the actual process...
44. (here's a pretentious one...): in the end i hope that the theatre i make serves to somehow work against the constant stream of crap flooding the market. i wanna fuck shit up, be loud, and have people want to see what i do instead of the same old shit that happens everywhere
45. i want to publish 'the fanclub' someday as a REAL magazine...i want to take it out onto the streets where it belongs...(hee hee...sooo nerdy!)

47. i can think of 4 or 5 people from whom i would accept money for sex
48. i should be crowned queen of procrastinators...for example, right now i should be writing a press release
49. there's this guy named brian and he is: a) the hottest man on the east coast; b) the man who pierced my nose and; c) an original dc punk kid!
http://www.jinxprooftattoos.com/jpdirtyb.htm the tattoos on his scalp are especially sexy!! and an interesting side note for all you music fans out there: this is the shop where the twin geniuses (*sarcasm*) behind good charlotte have gotten most of their tattoos and piercings done.
50. i'd PAY to have sex with brian!
51. i am obessesed with what people are willing to do when protected by anonymity
52. if i haven't been to bed my favourite time of the day is just before the sun rises...it's at that moment that you are 100% sure you made it through and you can probably do it again.

64. my choice to get tattooed has nothing to do with the fact that i am a girl. this is one occassion where i am not making a political statement
65. i once read an article about DIY pelvic exams. i am still not sure if this is very wise and i would never have my friends over for a pelvic exam party...what do you put on the invitation? "please arrive promptly at 6:45pm. don't forget the banana bread and your speculum. lubricant will be provided..." seriously...??
66. i keep a journal with lists upon lists of albums and artists i need to hear

69. i frequently tell people what my bra looks like and often whip out a little strap just to prove that i am telling the truth
70. when i was 15 i wished that i had enough fashion sense to really fit in at school
71. my favourite sweater and i have been together since grade 8...she came to me during an intense "i wish i was kurt cobain so i'll dress like him" phase. we still hang out and she's kept up with all the phases my 'fashion' sense has gone through
72. my favourite chapstick is 'burt's bees'. i prefer it in the tube because the metal pots rust.

78. my bedspread glows in the dark
79. the last album i bought was the 'we will become silouettes' single by the postal service.

81. i spent a good 2 hours trying to fit 14guage earrings in my regular sized ears (bad idea). it bothers me that none of my earrings match.

82. i am going to be a maid of honour this summer. there is a lot of pressure
83. i love lending things to friends because when they come back to me they always smell like they have been somewhere special

86. it frustrates me when parents belittle their children in public

95. my mother refers, disapprovingly, to vibrators as "a device"
96. a friend of mine once, out of the blue, gave me a social distortion button simply because he knew i liked them and thought of me when he saw it. that is one of my favourite gifts
97. i put a lot of thought into selecting greeting cards for people. i feel guilty if i don't
