shade184So it's late, I'm bored, and I feel like doing a meme. So, without further ado, here are Ten Things You Probably Didn't Want To Know About Me (TMI Edition):
1) I slept without a pillow for long time, only started using one again recently.
2) I'm not patriotic in the slightest, because believing that your country is better than all others simply because you were born in it is one of the fucking dumbest things I've ever heard. I like my country because it's familiar and it's home, not because it is "inherently better", and I would be willing to become a citizen of another country if it turned out to be a better place for me to live than my country of birth.
3) I'm more sexual-minded than you'd think. I'm a flirt, I'm a tease, and I'm pretty kinky. Only reason you don't see any of it is because of my low self-esteem, and because I don't like attracting attention to myself IRL. I also talk very openly about sex, and while I'm all for dirty jokes, I talk seriously about it as well.
4) I have a lot of plans to travel. My first goal is relatively close - Sydney - and my main, possibly long-term goal is Canada, but as well as those, I want to visit Ireland, Hungary (where I have family), the Philippines, Italy, Germany, and Norway.
5) A more personal one, that I don't discuss with many people: I'm as atheist as they come, but despite that, I'm quite a spiritual person. Make sense? To me, yeah, and that's what matters.
6) I never learned to swim.
7) I am a social smoker.
8) I am deathly afraid of heights.
9) Generalising by gender infuriates me, whether you're being serious or not. Joking (or not joking) about things like "What is it with men and multitasking?" or "What is it with women and driving?" one of the most effective things to say if you're trying to lose me as a friend.
10) Although I'm single, I'm surprised by how okay I am with it. I quite dislike it when people hear that I'm single, assume that I'm unhappy, and immediately give me the "don't worry, you'll find someone eventually" or "dude, you need a girlfriend" lines. I'm told that the term is "quirkyalone", although that could be wrong.
And a bonus 11) A year ago, hell, maybe even a couple of months ago, I wouldn't have even considered saying most of this stuff in such a public place. I'm honestly not sure why I'm okay with doing it now, nor why I bother. *Shrug* I guess boredom drives you to do stupid things, eh?
