The Monotonous Life

You know what I hate? Google Documents. Usually I love using it because it’s a chance to write down blog posts, etc. without having to open Word or Open Office (which on my computer still takes more than a few seconds to open and load). Plus, I spend all my time online anyway so it’s just easier. Needless to say I’ve come to love GDocs.

Until this week. For some reason GDocs isn’t opening. At all. In any way, shape or form. Because of that I am now using Zoho, which I was hesitant to use before. And Zoho Writer is awesome. I would highly recommend it to anyone using an online word processor. I haven’t used some of the other features yet, but I didn’t really use any of the other features of GDocs besides spreadsheets. But I’m sure they’re pretty good as well.

So why am I talking about Zoho and GDocs in this post? Mostly because I needed some type of opening for the “Six Random Things” post I’m about to do. Because of the Bloggie Swap I have been introduced to a new blog of which I would highly recommend. And Cruel Shoes (I seriously wished I had thought up that name) tagged me for doing this (thanks!) and I didn’t have any other way to start this post.

And yes, I completely think I’m clever for this. Anyway, here are the rules…

- Post the rules on your blog
- Write six random things about yourself in a blog post
- Tag six people in your post
- Let each person know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog
- Let the tagger know your entry is up

Six whole random things about me? Damn. I suck at these things because I think I’m the most boring person ever. So, let’s do this.

1. I have an affinity to watch CBS soaps when I’m bored and at home during the day.  And  was a straight out fan when I was younger. Out of all of them my favorite was Guiding Light. To this day my two favorite couples are Buzz and Jenna and Phillip and Harley. And I loved how crazy Annie was. The show today doesn’t hold a candle to that of the 90’s, which I’ve heard doesn’t hold water to the show of the 80’s and 70’s. But such is (daytime television) life I suppose.

2. During freshman year of high school I smoked cigarettes for a week. And unlike most people that first start smoking, I didn’t cough or get choked up or anything like that. I also didn’t get automatically addicted like the afterschool specials lead you to believe when you’re in HS. I would walk home and smoke them then. After a week I got tired of trying to steal cigarettes from my brother’s pack so I stopped.

3. Right before that freshman year my father’s job transfered him to Texas. At the time I told my parents how much I didn’t want to move there and how it would be the worst possible thing for me. My father went and my mother and I stayed in South Carolina. (No, I didn’t have anything to do with that.) To this day I feel like my parents made the wrong decision in my mother and me not moving with him and that my life would have turned out better somehow if we had gone to Texas.

4. I don’t know if I believe God exist. But I’m too afraid to not believe. So I’m vastly confused about Christianity and religion in general. And I know that if I were to tell my mother this she would freak the fuck out.

Yes, I did just use “God” and “fuck” in the same little blurb. I don’t know how I feel about that.

5. I sometimes wish I wasn’t a fan of Duke or Michigan. I get really tired of all the crap that gets said about them. Yet I get a little bit (ok, A LOT) of joy out of everyone’s hatred.

6. I am, to quote my girl Elliot from Scrubs, racked with self-doubt. I honestly don’t have any confidence in almost anything I do. And that doubt makes me do things like stay in Charleston when all I ever wanted to do was leave SC and not major in Creative Writing when I know that’s the only thing (minus English and History) that even interest me. And it will probably be the reason why I won’t try to become a writer, even though I absolutely love doing it and can’t really see myself doing anything else.

Wow, some of those are kinda depressing. I honestly didn’t mean for it to be. I need to go back and do my weekly smile list and remember the world doesn’t suck.

So now that my six random things about me are done, I’m tagging six people of my own. Have fun six people.

Tagged for post goodness: Tiff, Andie, Ms. Ericka, Minda, LindzML, TheStarterWife

I wonder if it would it be too much to tag Curtis Granderson? Double entendre intended.
