All alone I built these walls and now I'm gonna let them fall

You know the rules. I am not tagging anyone. Everyone I know has already been tagged, except Christina, so feel free to do it if you so choose, Christina. I also may not follow the rules.

1. I only recently started reading more than one book at a time. And it's really just because real 'literature' books are not suitable for reading while at the gym , so I read regular crap at the gym. I never understood why people would want to start a new book when they weren't finished with the last one.

2. I have always wanted red hair, but I am wary of dying it. So I make do with my brown hair. Even though my mom keeps telling me it's getting darker.

3. I can't fathom why people would want to chew their fingernails. I tried it and, eh. But I do sometimes chew on the skin around my nails. I know, gross.

4. I think my cats think they are dogs. They are such attention whores and never leave people alone.

5. When I was younger, I would get really upset when my mom would tell me that people thought I was snobby because I was really just painfully shy.

6. Even though my brothers have both had lots of problems with their toenails, somehow I have managed not to have any ingrown nails. Which is good because I think feet are disgusting. All feet, not just the Benz feet.

7. I can't stand it when people use big words incorrectly in a failed bid to seem intelligent. Just give it up.

8. Unlike my devious brothers, I pretty much only got in trouble for mouthing off to my mother when I was a teenager. We are finally getting along almost all the time. She even calls me sometimes, which is weird because she never used to call me, since I still live in town and see her at times. Also, she's giving me all the old cups she doesn't want, including the jelly jar Muppet glasses! I love those.

9. I had my tonsils removed when I was 22. It was ridiculously painful. Especially since the doctor hit my uvula with the laser and it was not numbed. It was still totally worth it.

10. I realized the other day that I have been mispronouncing mischievous as mischievious sometimes. Mischievious is not a word. And now I am mortified, but it's not a word I really say much and I doubt anyone around here would notice [I wasn't spelling it wrong, I just apparently wasn't paying attention to the difference in the way I spelled it and the way I (and many other people) say it.]. Still, oops.

Dude, I wasn't too devious in my teenage years. It was the pre-teen years that got me. And I can't believe you're getting the muppet cups! You're so mischievious. Yes, I just used a big word incorrectly AND I spelled it wrong. Ha!

Just don't start saying literally when you mean figuratively! I'm also getting the giant glass that the Benz grandparents gave you a few years ago, but I'll give it to you if you need it to stay hydrated. She also said my Andrea bowl and cup are in the box, which makes me wonder what she did with what was left of the boys' sets.
