Yay! Awards!
My ego is really starting to get inflated with these lovely blog awards people have given me! So today I have two!
Thank you so much to Allison at "A Little Bit of Everything." Her blog is so thoughtful and creative! Be sure to check it out!
I'd like to pass this award to....1. Abra
2. K. Law
3. Lipstick on the cup
4. R. Wallis
Then I was also tagged by "Lipstick on the Cup." Be sure to check out her blog too! She has great beauty tips!

I'd like to tag...
1. Jessica
2. Kym
3. Katie
4. Ella
So with these awards I'm supposed to list 10 things that you may or may not know about me.
1. I cannot touch paper towels. People find this extremely strange but to me the feeling of the paper towel against my finger tips is like that whole "nails on a chalkboard" feeling.
2. I am organized but in a crazy way. You would never think looking at my room that I'm organized but I know exactly where everything is.
3. I don't eat hamburgers. This is not because I'm a vegetarian or vegan, I just simply do not like the texture of ground beef AT ALL.
4. I have really sensitive skin. I can't use a lot of hair products or make-up/skin products because the chemicals in them irritate my skin. It is really annoying.
5. I don't stay mad for more than 10 minutes tops. Sometimes it's so frustrating because I WANT to stay mad...but I can't.
6. I am a true believer that true beauty comes from the inside. The more I get to know a person and like a person the more beautiful they become to me. (Side note: This does not count for guys I date. I don't know why but I usually thing that they're worse looking the longer I'm with them. Excepting the current BF of course.)
7. I get embarrassed very easily! Pretty much anything embarrasses me. It's something I've really struggled to get over (and I've gotten better about it!).
8. This goes with number 7 but I blush. I mean I get BRIGHT red. It's really obvious and then somebody has to make a stupid comment like "Look how red she is!" and I just get MORE red.
9. Every time I eat there are crumbs EVERYWHERE. I do not know how this happens. It doesn't matter how careful I am there are always always crumbs.
10. I'm usually positive and rarely complain. The only time I'm negative is when I'm studying for an exam in which case I moan for hours "I'm going to fail this! I'm going to fail this!" Moral of the story: Stay away from me around exam time!
Also! Thanks to Sarah from Postcards from Far Away for awarding me the Kreativ Blogger award :). I'm so very honored.
Thanks so much to everyone for reading! Happy Monday!

I have the same problem with staying mad! No matter how angry I get, I always feel those nicer feelings creeping back in...
Have a good Monday!

Re: #1... I actually have a BUNCH of stuff like that! Not paper towels, but any scraping on a plate, or silverware on teeth, or at the DENTIST when he SCRAPES MY TEETH with that hook thingy... *shudders* I just can't stand it!
July 13, 2009 3:24 PM
I just found your blog as well! Happy to meet another DC blogger. Perhaps we can plan a little gathering for all of us sometime this summer. Hope you're enjoying your time in Washington!
ps - I love Martin's!

We all have our issues. I can't count bills! Like when I used to work as a cashier, I'd have to pull my sleeves over the cash because I was deathly afraid of getting papercuts! As you know, money is much softer than paper. I'm just weird I guess.
July 13, 2009 4:22 PM
lmao @ 8 and 9
July 13, 2009 4:44 PM

Congratulations on your awards! What neat little tidbits about yourself! -e
July 13, 2009 5:28 PM
Agh I get that same feeling with cheap towels!! Hotel towels are the absolute worst, I seriously shiver while I dry myself off.
And I blush like nobody's business. I have to wear high collared shirts when I am in court because my neck and chest turn purple and I look like I am having an allergic reaction!! So horrifying.

Thanks dear for the ILOVEPARIS award. You're a doll! :)
Anyway, seriously? No burgers?! Gosh, what will I ever do without them? I love the big ones, most especially.
And I admire you for not staying angry longer than 10minutes. I wish I can do that. Now this seals the deal for me: YOU REALLY ARE A NICE PERSON! :)

Congrats on your awards love! I love your 10 things- I exactly like you when it comes to having sensitive skin! It's so annoying- but I think *knock on wood* that I have finally found some products that work!
Lovely post :) XOXO

July 15, 2009 9:26 AM
Thanks for the award hun!
I'll start working on my 10 things soon
The paper towel thing is wierd, but everyone has thier quirks haha
July 15, 2009 11:42 PM
haha, i suffer from the crumb curse as well! i've tried to figure out why this happens to me... and so far I think it may have something to do with the size of my mouth or the shape of my lips... or maybe I'm just a really messy eater ;) my bustials don't help either! i carry crumbs around with me for who knows how long! TMI taren, TMI.
