28 random things about me. :1) I would rather be respected than loved.2) I respect two types of women, those who remain in unhappy marriages for the sake of their kids and those who leave abusive or unfaithful husbands even if they have no place to go.3) I dislike logical inconsistency, I have been guilty of it before, but some people are pathologically inconsistent and it annoys me.4) I am very opinioned and I don’t think it is a bad thing. I don’t like when people are too accommodating of others. That may sound weird, but I always think that people like that will never stand up for anything or anyone, at least if someone is opinionated like myself, even if I don’t agree with them, I will always know where they stand but with social chameleons, you just never know.5) Sometimes I wish I could live someone else’s life for a while. I think it would be pretty neat to experience how different things taste, feel, and look to someone else.6) Although I am not in debt and my bills are always paid on time, outside of that I am the most fiscally irresponsible person I know, if I want something, I want it now and when I get it, I lose interest quickly.7) I don’t like when others change their minds frequently or when they don’t stand by things that they say/do. The way I see it you should always stand by what you say/do or else you shouldn’t have said/did it at all.8) I don’t care for those who are hostile against religion because they think it makes them seem more intelligent. I dislike any type of relativism, moral or otherwise, I think the most fundamental truths about life are absolute and applicable to everyone…with no exceptions.9) I always choke up when I see dead animals on the side of the road and I can't explain why.10) I have a three strike you’re out policy… It may seem harsh but the way I see it, life is too short to spend it with someone who hurts/offends you or someone you just don’t like. Why should you apologize for not liking someone? You can’t like everyone you meet…why waste your time talking to them?11) I don’t like to wallow in self-pity, I think it is a sign of self-centeredness and in my opinion, a serious character flaw. But when I do start pitying myself, I always think that I don’t really deserve the things I already have, so it shouldn’t really matter if it is taken away no matter how much it may hurt. And secondly, there is someone else right now, who is more deserving of the things I have than I do, so I need to thank my lucky stars that I lucked out and pity the person who didn’t.12) I have few regrets, but they are my own and I don’t think I deserve any pity for any bad choice I have made or its consequences and neither do I think others deserve pity for bad choices they have made.13) I am a very deliberate, in what I say and do and it bothers me when others others don't pay attention to the things they say. I am not at all spontaneous and I don’t understand why anyone would like spontaneity, to me it translates into irrational, irresponsible, emotional and unpredictable behavior…scary.14) I love religion, UNICEF, politics, shoes and purses…in that order.15) I am always surprised when I receive compliments or when people say they were thinking about me, I am not being self-deprecating; it is just that I always wonder if they didn’t have something/someone better to think about?16) I would really, really, really love to visit Ireland one day.17) I like being alone sometimes….so much that I have a real fear that I will wake up one morning, look over at my husband and just hate him for no good reason. I don’t think he would deserve that and I fear he would have missed out on someone who would have loved him more.18) When I said my prayers as a child, I used to pray that everyone in the world would be happy for just one day and by the time I was a teenager I would wish that everyone in the world would be happy for just one minute. I remember that prayer well and it makes me sad because I realized that the world was a cruel place for some people.19) I want to have at least 3 children because I want to raise the type of people that I would have loved to have met when I was growing up. Also, I want to adopt children because there are so many children that need parents and I think it would be selfish not to share my home and love with them. I also think people who don’t have children are selfish and not worthy of respect especially when they are rich and/or educated.20) I think Radiohead is the best band in the world…period21) I love watching foreign and independent films…it is one of my favorite hobbies.22) I think about my death all the time, I don’t fear death, what I fear most of all is living an unhappy life, in a bad marriage, with children that hate me and no friends to talk to.23) I don’t like when women define themselves by the men they marry. Or women who would rather be with a man they hate rather than be alone. Or women who allow men to treat them like crap. Similarly, I don’t like men who think women are inferior and men who don’t respect women.24) I wish I could speak French better, but I am convinced that I was hardwired at birth to only speak my native tongue, English.25) I look forward to being a college professor one day, I think teachers have the remarkable ability to change lives and I try to be cognizant of what I say when I teach because I know that some student is listening to me, I mean really listening and I shouldn't break their trust.26) I have serious trust issues because I always wonder about other’s intentions and what they think about in that secret chamber of their heart….I think the most sinister people are those who destroy the happiness of others, or the bottom feeders that capitalize on the unhappiness of others, like the preacher in The Scarlet Letter. These people should be taken to some public arena, mocked and made to carry signs warning others of their character.27) I think the most selfish people are those who have opportunities but lack ambition and those who never take responsibility for their own actions. The way I see it, it is your life and no one else is responsible for it, so don't blame others when you didn't have the initiative or just messed up.28) Sometimes when I watch the news and hear the horrible things people do, I feel so embarrassed for humanity…..that I just get really, really ashamed that I am one of them. It is one of the main reasons that I have so many pictures of Jesus in my tiny apartment because whenever I feel really ashamed of myself and people in general, I think that there was one perfect person, who believed in humanity and that maybe I shouldn’t be so cynical.
