I've always thought things are 90% better if people will just acknowledge them. Like, "I'm a b*tch" or "I'm stupid" or "I'm addicted"...
So here are things I admit.
- I take an embarrassing amount of pictures of myself because
- 1. it's better than a mirror and
- 2. I'm still fascinated by the idea of a camera
- One of the things I document (or have lately) is outfits I like. If I'm not going somewhere that lends easily to a picture-taking session, I'll document the outfit myself. I call these shoots 'mini-modeling'. And yeah, I even pose.
- I gave up diet beverages to tan, rationalizing that giving up one semi-addictive behavior that is bad for my health balanced out adding a new one.
- I used to wash my car at least once a day. (It was free. I'm not embarassed of this, but my roommates told me it was borderline obsessive, so I'm including it.)
- I pick my nose in the car.
- I hate to admit I'm wrong.
- Sometimes I identify with the character Frasier Crane on television. My alter-ego is a middle aged and pompous psychiatrist. Naturally.
- I've had an account on TheKnot.com (a wedding website) since long before I was in a relationship because I like to look at wedding dresses. In fact, I used to buy wedding magazines for long plane rides as a teenager. Sickening.
- I still listen to the Spice Girls.
- And I like it.
