5 (more) facts about me

Well, macface2adore tagged me for a 10 random facts video. Tao then tagged me for a 5 random facts video. Since I’ve already done a 5 random facts video on Youtube, I’m going to compromise by adding 5 more facts on my blog 
I feel more comfortable writing about myself more than talking about myself anyway.
1. I never use the drive through for anything. Fast food, ATMs, Starbucks, never! You know when you first get your license, your driving still isn’t all that great. There I was, newly licensed, and my first endeavor driving by myself was to go to Carls Jr. and get my dad a burger. So I go to the drive-through and was too far away for my short arms to give the person the money. It was embarrassing, and since then, I’ve always parked to get fast food. I don’t get fast food often anyway. When I do, it’s usually McDonald’s breakfast (mmm hash browns), however, I rarely bother to sacrifice the extra 15 minutes out of my morning routine to get McDonalds 
I know Burger King has veggie burgers, but to be honest, the veggie burgers I make are more delicious 
2. I never carry any cash on me. In the event that I do have cash, I try to deposit it whenever I can. I find cash to be too time consuming to handle, especially when you get coins back. I use my Visa for everything, even for $1 purchases (because I just don’t have cash!). I do carry about $10 on me sometimes, just in case.
3. I do not know how to work a lighter or light matches. Yes, seriously. I sort of have a fear of fire. When I have to do labs that require a burner, I have someone else start it for me. I’m fine with gas stoves though. You can assume that I don’t smoke anything. I wouldn’t know how to light it lol.
4. I used to play the violin when I was younger. I had violin lessons I think once a week, for two years. Obviously I’m not a violin prodigy. I had two choices, violin or piano. Stupid me wanted to be “unique” and play the violin. Now I could care less about it. I wish I played the piano instead. Now I see all these amazing piano song covers on Youtube and I’m so jealous. I think the piano is my favorite instrument to listen to. It just sounds so beautiful. My goal is to one day learn how to play the piano, even if I have to wait until I retire. (photo above is a frame from The Fray’s “You Found Me” video)
5. I never drink diet sodas. People who drink diet sodas are such weenies. If you’re going to drink soda, go for the good stuff! If I wanted the carbonation without calories, I’d just drink club soda, which I find to be much more tasty than diet sodas. Every diet soda I’ve tried makes me feel sick. On that note, I wanted to add that I can not drink Dr. Pepper. It’s so gross!
By the way, I’m not sure if it’s me, but I’ve been drinking soda recently, and they taste more flat than they used to. Fresh out of a can too. The only reason soda is awesome is because of the carbonation. I wonder if sodas aren’t carbonated as much anymore or maybe my taste buds are dying I just talked to a friend about it too and she thought the same thing. Hmm…
6. Alright, I’m adding one more. Didn’t want to let another random fact go to waste Anyway, I am very anal about keeping my computer and emails organized. Things that are unused get deleted. Everything is in folders. Emails are labeled. A cluttered desktop drives me insane 
I need a good amount of unused disk space to be present at all times.

1. I don’t remember the last time I’ve actually parked at a fast food restaurant and purchased the food inside! I’ll always be seen going through the drive-thru; I’m so lazy
2. I’m the same way!
3. lol cute
4. I played the violin when I was younger as well. I played the piano and I quit that too, but I wish I hadn’t because I want to be able to say I play an instrument. I encourage you to learn the piano at an earlier age though. Best wishes
5. I don’t drink diet sodas either, but it’s really because of the aspartame!
6. Dear lord, I’ve gotta organize my computer

I am anal about my desktop organization too especially at work. I can’t stand it when I go to someone’s computer to help them and find that they have 50+ excel files saved to their desktop. And you know they don’t even use half of them or even know what it is.
My itunes is pretty organized too. I have to fix all the titles of the songs and the artist names with correct capitalization.

…I only drink diet sodas…*runs away*
I NEVER carry cash on me either! I figured out that when you get your wallet stolen, you don’t get your cash back….Yes, I learned that the hard way.
Anyways, thanks for doing the tag hun!

That’s another reason why I don’t carry cash. If I ever get mugged, the thief will realize the most they got was ten bucks. Although the price of the wallet and purse alone is sort of pricy lol.

haha I agree about the sodas. You might as well get the real thing!
lol funny story about the money. My teacher one was like you should keep a pocket with more money and one with less. Then when a thief asks, give them less money! she added, but don’t take back the money if you accidentally giver them more money!

Sometimes it’s not about the calories…in my case, I LOVE Dr. Pepper…but I have to drink diet due to the sugar…If I drink regular soda around 1pm, come 4pm I have a MAJOR sugar crash and headache…but not with the diet, so that is why I drink diet over regular

Liz, you’re just like me with the whole cluttered desktop/inbox thing. My laptop desktop only has one icon: Recycle Bin & that is actually blocked by my AIM buddy list. LOL. My inboxes have only 1 or 2 emails that I find are important, everything else is filed away.
Also, I used to play the piano (7-17 y.o.). I hated it but only b/c I was forced. I quit when I got to college and realized I really liked it; it’s so soothing to listen to. I really plan on picking up again… sometime.

1) i dont drive through simple because i dont eat fast food, and no where near me are drive through banks/atms or starbucks
2) i used to never carry cash, but then i found it really hard to park cause alot of placed you pay first and park rather than park and pay after, so i always keep at least $20 in my glove box.
3) i used to smoke when i was a teen, so i can work a lighter, but now they are strickly used for candles
4) my secret dream is to be able to play the violin… i know, i’m weird
5) i dont drink regular soda’s because something in them makes me sick to my stomach very badly, but i hae no problem with diet soda’s and it snot one particular soda its all regular type soda’s, i need to even have diet tonic water
6) i am not organized at all!

If I get mugged one day, I can yell, “I only had $5!” But then again, some people have been robbed and killed over $20
Shame.
