Each Step is One in The Right Direction

ALMOST 100 Things About Me

This actually might be 100 more. I cannot remember if I posted one of these before or not. But whatever,its a rest day anyways. Here it is at the request of Joe.

1. I am completely computer illiterate. I am lucky to even blog. This is possibly why this isn't in a list form at the side of my blog as a seperate link. This is also why I have no profile pics.
2. Another possibility for the lack of profile pics is that I cannot seem to convince anyone to take a picture of me running. It's a difficult undertaking I say. I just run so fast. Ha.
3. If anyone has solutions to either of these two problems, assistance would be greatly appreciated.
4. I work at Chuck E Cheese. I would not eat their pizza.
5. I cannot stand the sight of Chicken. Due in part to staring at it at work for 8 hours a day on the weekends.
6. I like to use big words that I have no idea what they mean, but I've heard. Eg. Plethora, Superflous, Anaerobic Threshold. They make me sound smart. Please don't ask me to use them in a sentence.
7. I have the notion in my head that since I am a runner, I can eat anything I want. Yeah. I am a fast food junkie. I am trying to cut down.
8. I have a bet going with my mother that I can refrain from spending any money at all (Including clothes, fast food, etc)
9. It starts Monday
10. So does my diet.
12. I have been saying that I will go on a diet for the last several months. It has yet to happen.
13. Running has opened a new world of shopping for me.
14. I am a runner. I love the sound of that. I am a Runner.
15. I am running a half marathon very soon. I am very excited.
16. I have not yet run my half marathon and have already planned my first Marathon. The Scotiabank Waterfront Marathon.
17. I want to run the Boston Marathon one day. Qualifying during my first marathon is wishful thinking though.
18. I hate school. I went back to highschool for a semester and everyone is so immature. So I run during my spare. I can't wait til its over.
19. I have a countdown going for my half marathon but not one til the end of school
20. I want to be a gym teacher when I grow up.
21. I wanted to go to UBC or Simon Fraser University in British Columbia. I am too immature though.
22. I am going to live with my Aunt. I'll grow up in the comfort of my family.
23. Speaking of my family, I am the oldest of 6 children.
24. They range from 16 to 4. I like being the oldest...most times.
25. According Runner's World Magazine, I am a Warrior and a Purist. I think that I am leaning more to the side of Warrior lately.
26. I am not very creative. I like to think I am creative, but the reality is that I am not.
27. I am addicted to popcorn. I buy it "Low Fat" to satisfy the healthy part of me. Then, I add extra butter and Kernels Popcorn seasoning. It's still Low Fat right?
28. I am shy until you get to know me, then you cannot shut me up.
29. A prime example of this is the time that I started working at Chuck E Cheese. I would not say more than hello to anyone. Now, if I go in there, you can't shut me up. Anyone that has worked with me will attest to this.
30. This was my very first job. I loved it. Then, I think that I missed out on a lot of stuff. So i focus more on life, rather than work. See post: LIFE
31. My mom has to have hearing aids. I hope I never have to have them. But, if I had to chose between sight and hearing I would rather have hearing BECAUSE they can fix that. It is more difficult to fix sight. But god forbid that I dont have to have either or.
32. I cannot convert Miles to Kilometers, and I cannot convert fairinheight into Celcius (I cannot even spell the word fairinheight)
33.I love Grays Anatomy. Every Thursday I watch it.
