My Cheerfulness Recipe

My day was, well, let's just say I've seen better days (WAY better days!).

And it sort of got to me and I went home feeling very much down. Which meant I needed some serious emergency cheering up! And since my sis and best friends are in other countries, I had to rely on myself- ugh.
Which meant I had to choose one of my two tried and tested methods:

1. Change into my PJ's and snuggle on the couch, and spend an evening watching funny comedies and drinking something hot and having a good laugh- completely disconnecting from the outside world if only for a coupla hours!

2. Jump into my runners, and go for a good long run, all the while thinking hard and doing some serious soul searching:P After which I go home and pour my heart out into a piece of writing.

Hmm, I think it's pretty obvious which course of action I chose to follow today.

So, brace yourself, for you are about to witness some serious soul-delving. I'm just gonna write some random info about me- you know bits and pieces of unrelated stuff. It's always good to keep a realistic perspective of yourself. Who knows, maybe I'll even run into something of substance while I'm at it (I wouldn't count too much on that one though;P)

So let the randomness begin!

1. If I start babbling, good luck shutting me up.
2. I'm the easiest person to reduce to tears.
3. I'm athletic. Working out is my ultimate high!
4. A terrible terrible singer/dancer. Can't carry a tune or perform a step to save my life.
5. I never hold a grudge, it's too tiring.
6. My family and friends say I'm stubborn, but I "stubbornly" deny that.
7. I think the sound of kids giggling is the most beautiful sound in the whole wide world.
8. I'm a die-hard animal lover, between me, my siblings and cousins, we've had pets that included: cats, dogs, ducks, turtles, goats, pigeons, birds and fish (That's something considering we've always lived in an apartment and our parents have strict "No Pets" policies- for the most part anyway!)
9. I used to strongly believe in soul mates, now I think it's bull.
10. I'm make-up challenged, and proud of it!
11. I never wear heals, and think it's stupid what girls do to themselves to look "pretty".
12. I'm so unsophisticated.
13. I'm such a bad liar, but pretend not to be.
14. I'm a people-pleaser, I hate to upset anyone.
15. If you ask me "does this look pretty?", I would always say yes, even if I think it's too hideous. Again, hate to hurt feelings.
16. My family is my most precious thing in the whole wide world.
17. Without them, I don't think I can go on for a day.
18. I get my drive from knowing that my dad believes in me infinitely.
19. My greatest joy is when I make him proud.
20. My greatest fear is to let him down.
21. The three women I admire most in my life are my mom, sister and auntie.
22. The person I would like to be is a combination of the three of them!
23. My favorite song ever is "I can show you the world" from the soundtrack of Aladdin.
24. My favorite comedy (besides Friends, which is a no-brainer) is "What I Like About You"- cuz it reminds me so much of my sis and I.
25. If I had to eat the same thing for the rest of my life, it'd be pizza.
26. With extra cheese.
27. I love cheese, did I mention that?
28. I'm such a scaredy cat- I'm 23 and still scared of dark.
29. The idea of watching a horror movie terrifies me to the bones.
30. I love surprises. (But then again, who doesn't?)
31. I'm very emotional, I could get upset so fast, but calm down faster.
32. When upset I can say things I don't mean, and feel terribly terribly guilty later on.
33. I love it when the people I love pretend like it didn't happen, cuz I truly wish it didn't.
34. I cannot stomach: mint chocolate, apricot jam, and powder milk.
35. As a gift, I would love nothing more than to get flowers, but rarely ever do.
36. I'm childish, no guarantees I'll ever outgrow it.
37. I've changed from being the messiest person on earth to an almost tidy person- yay!
38. My handwriting is aweful.
39. I don't know the first thing about cars- even though my bro is an encyclopedia.
40. If I could meet any person I want, alive or dead, real or fictitious- it'd be Dumbledore in Harry Potter books:P (sad, I know)
41. I believe a glass of mango juice in Cairo is one of the yummiest things on earth.
42. I'm willing to live in Cairo just for the mango juice.
43. And the cheerful people!
44. I secretly wish I was a professional athlete.
45. I think watching sports (as opposed to actually playing them) is mind-numbingly boring, except for gymnastics.
46. I make really yummy chocolate chip cookies.
47. I bribe people with my chocolate chip cookies;)
48. Blue is my favorite color, most of my wardrobe is blue.
49. I love corny chick flick movies.
50. I love happy endings.

Yep, that's me:)
