50 (ugly) truths about me – the second round

January 27, 2016 by Juli 17 Comments

People I actually wanted to share a recipe with you today (psssst it’s a fabulous vegeterian Gnocchi recipe) but I am too lazy to do the necessary photo editing right now…. mea culpa!

First I just wanted to skip today and use the spare time to work but actually I already worked long hours the last two days and as it’s going to be late today again I think I busy myself with my hobbies instead of going crazy on the work front in the morning already. I feel a bit unconcentrated and I am still kinda tired so I thought it might be a great time to start a second round of a funny list I posted a while ago featuring 50 ugly truths about moi! 

The good news is I already had my second cup of coffee so I am properly caffeinated – maybe even a bit too much. So the conditions couldn’t be better to get random properly out loud.

let's get naked ! Too Cute and funny: (source)

Figuratively speaking!

  1. I am obsessed with a horrible German pun about a Bratwurst
  2. My prioritiers are never in a reasonable order – and I do like that
  3. Despite my obsession with coffee I always forget the last sip in my mug and drink it cold in the end
  4. Ever since I started acting out my weirdness I have much more fun in my life
  5. Sunrises make me happy
  6. Sunsets make me sad
  7. I still love to watch them both
  8. I have trust issues
  9. The feeling of sand between my toes and salt water on my lips makes me feel alive
  10. The sound of snuffling grosses me out!
  11. I have an obsession with stationary and I am a bit OCD about some aspects of my life but paperwork is my big weakness
  12. I usually bribe my husband into doing all the paperwork
  13. I hold the unpopular opinion that Pierce Brosnan is the epitome of a secret agent
  14. Sometimes I think I am so much more mature than most people I know – then I go play with my plush Minion
  15. I love stormy weather unless I am on vacation – I have signed up for the sun and sulk when it’s not nice outside!
  16. Sometimes I dream of just leaving my job and making a career in a totally non academic field
  17. My favorite vegetable is broccoli but I eat bell pepper most
  18. I lived with my parents-in-law for 6 years. We are really close for that reason.
  19. Once a seagull shit in the pocket of my coat! The fucking bird must have been a sniper. I swear it’s true. Ask my mum or Stefan, they both giggle like morons when they talk about it!
  20. I am badly obsessed with youtube videos. I like semi professionals best!
  21. Besides chocolaty things and Sour Patch Watermelon I am not a fan of candy
  22. I have always been a tomboy – I kind of still am
  23. I really really can’t dance. I still do when I had a few drinks but it’s totally embarassing!
  24. I really really can’t sing either
  25. I love early mornings and the potential every new day holds
  26. Unfairness makes me mad
  27. I have a circular scar on my right forearm and there’s a story behind this scar I will never tell online
  28. If I could change anything about myself it would be my skin – my medication messed it up completely
  29. I want to go skydiving this year
  30. I take most of my pictures in my kitchen and more often than not I get caught with my hair tangled up in my chandelier within the process
  31. I don’t care about famous people – being asked who I’d like to go for dinner with if I could choose anyone dead or alive I’d probably choose someone I already know
  32. I used to smoke from age 17 to age 25 and then went cold turkey from one day to the next
  33. I always thought I’d soften up a bit over time but I actually get more stubborn every day
  34. I hate the sound chalk makes on a board
  35. My favorite animals are cats and pigs
  36. I think that if everyone was pansexual the world would be a much better, more loving place
  37. If you can’t tell by now, I am horribly idealistic!
  38. Despite better judgement I still miss smoking from time to time
  39. I have never been ‘dating’ – hanging out and being in a committed relationship is all I know
  40. I consider myself to be a good cook but I suck at baking
  41. I like to drink drinks from their designated glasses. That’s why we have a bazillion different glasses
  42. I don’t get intolerance. I just don’t get it!

  44. I have a really silly phase at the moment. My sense of humor is even more questionable than before

  47. I am a bad driver but I pretend to be a good one
  48. I have theories about almost everything but most of them are a bit weird and I usually keep them to myself. #36 is one of them
  49. I am allergic to lies. And most lies are just so stupid! I have yet to discover anything I am not understanding towards to. Try me, don’t lie to me! 
  50. For the first time in my life I am confident in saying: I like who I am!

    This list made me smile … lots of good stuff. )

    Have to say that I feel there is a bit of a disconnect between #22 and #36.

    I actually love #36 – don’t know if it is *completely* possible because I feel (and see it looking at my kids and myself compared to my siblings, and all of our nieces and nephews) that people do exist on a continuum and some people are at one far side or the other. But I think that acceptance of pansexuality should be a definite goal.

    I have also learned SO much about these things – cis, trans, gender fluid, pansexual … and so on – from my kids, younger so in particular. None of these things existed as terms when I was a kid … but I am glad they do now. Like you say in #42 … just don’t get intolerance.

    But for #22 … tomboy? That seems like an odd term to use now – what does that even mean? That you don’t conform to the norms for what is ‘girly’? Seems to me it should be a source of pride – rather than conform and be someone you are not, you choose to be happy with who you are.

    Sorry to ramble πŸ™‚

      Brace yourself this is going to be wordy πŸ˜‰

      First of all thanks so much for your comment, it gave me a little to think about. And no need to be sorry I embrace a good ramble anytime!

      Let’s talk about gender first. I completely agree with you that everyone is different. I think that when we talk about gender we have to say goodbye to the idea of male and female, of black and white. So when I say I think I have always been a bit of a tomboy, to me that means while I identify as female I have always been a bit more what society associates with ‘boyish’ than what society associates with ‘girly’. I am still and have always been content with that.

      As far as I understand pansexuality it is the ability to fall in love with people of any sex or gender identity. So basically as far as I understand, pansexual people in general can be attracted by everyone. I think that would be awesome because in the end of the day this means that love is just down to character. I see so many people struggling to find the right partner and I think that would just make the pool of possible partners so much bigger. Of course I am fully aware that this is all highly hypothetical and I don’t even fall in that category myself.

      So as I understand being ‘tomboyish’ as a shade of grey in the gender continuum and pansexualty completely free of any gender bias I don’t really see any contradiction here but please correct me if I am wrong.

      This also brings me to the point of intolerance because – and again I am being totally idealistic here – maybe there wouldn’t be so much intolerance when those categories didn’t matter so much as they seem to matter now.

        Totally agree with all of that – makes perfect sense. Your description of tomboy in context works perfectly – and I think what is most important is that it is what works for you. Who cares what anyone else thinks?!? πŸ™‚

        And your conclusion is perfect – remove the strict labels and categories and stereotypes and let us all just be people.

    I think you would like Australia – sand and salt water on the most amazing beaches – Perth beaches are just stunning!
    I do the same with my coffee, always forget the last bit and end up drinking it cold… Unless it’s iced coffee = problem solved!
    Thanks goodness I’m not the only one out there who has designated cups for certain drinks… I’m kind of the same with meals too…
    I never dated either – I met david when I was 19 and we have been together ever since. And I wouldn’t change it for the world!
    Btw your list makes you even more of an awesome person πŸ™‚

      Thanks sweetheart! YOU are amazing! <3

    #40 — you cook me dinner and I’ll bring dessert. I can do the baking thing, but I slack big time when it comes to making actual meals… which is probably why I often end up eating breakfast for dinner. And I’m 100% with you on intolerance. I really can’t understand how people can be so cruel and judgmental towards other people… as if they themselves are perfect and never did anything wrong. Drives me nuts. That and hypocrites. Ugh.

      Deal! Your baking leaves me drooling anytime I go on your blog!
      Don’t get me started on double standards and hypocrisy. I can easily fly in a rage regarding ALL of this!

    What an inspiring post! I’m glad that you like who you are!
    About the “right kind of glasses” thing. A couple weeks ago I hosted a party and a friend brought sake. He asked if we had anything to put the sake in. I said, “Well, we’ve got some mugs.” Then another friend asked if we had any wine glasses to put wine in. “Uh…I usually just put wine in a mug.” In my defense, I am a graduate student with a very small kitchen.

      I have a few theories about that, too. But my favorite is – and I am going to go with this one – that we are both wizzards connected by Legilimency πŸ˜‰ Or you could also be a horcrux!

    Number 5o of course is the absolute best:For the first time in my life I am confident in saying: I like who I am! When you accept who you are, life becomes all sorts of amazing, which is my eyes goes right along with this one: 49.I am allergic to lies. And most lies are just so stupid! I have yet to discover anything I am not understanding towards to. Try me, don’t lie to me! I think most lies stem from people’s own insecurities and once they accept themselves for who they are, all kinds of honesty follows. It’s pretty lovely to see actually.

    And this one made me laugh out loud: Sometimes I think I am so much more mature than most people I know – then I go play with my plush Minion. πŸ™‚
