The Lounge

don't post the typical "i like my calves" stuff.. post something like "i like the way i greet people" or "i like how i use alot of big words when i talk", etc. a few of mine are:

• i love the way i type.
• i have a really pointy chin that makes me almost look evil; i love it.
• i like how i'm mostly an outgoing person.

i like the way i try to smile at random ppl i meet/see to try make their day a bit better cause a smile from a stranger always cheers me up :)!!!

I like the way I have so much weird, strange trivia-type knowledge.  Just useless stuff. 

Here is something weird I admire about myself:

I like the fact that I can touch the tip of my tongue to the tip of my nose. My mom and I are the only ones in the family who can do it.

My hair is super thick. I have enough hair on my head for at least three people.

I can spread all my toes on both feet. It always grossed my dad out.

I can make the weirdest funniest faces. I do it in the mirror to cheer myself up.

- that I love working out so it's never that hard to get to the gym!

- that no matter how bad of a mood i'm in, it will usually pass within an hour or so and i do a pretty good job of pulling myself out of it!

I admire that I can put my hands above my head like a stretch keep them locked and make them go all the way down behind my back without unlocking my hands. :P

I also have very thick hair.

I like how when I sneeze my fiance's mom says that I sneeze like betty boop. LMAO.

I like how I just randomly think of scenerios in my head and without realizing it when I'm alone I act them out. Hahaha.

I also like the way I can shake my hips like Shakira. lmao.

i love that i have a great memory, especially for anything verbal.  i remember almost every word i've ever read, and i remember conversations that i had decades ago.  it's very useful ;)

i also love that i only get cranky once a cycle, and only for a few minutes.  as soon as i recognize that i'm pms-y, i shake it off (often this is a road-rage moment; i get mad, then i visualize kevin kline in A Fish Called Wanda, screaming "Asssshoooole" out the window, and i laugh at myself.  out loud.).

lol, im sure there are some people in your life who wish you hadn't that talent (like when you argue with a SO, ha ha)

ill have to think about this one & get back to it. is that sad or is it just the hangover? 

ok here's one... i like the fact that i am constantly learning how & that i can take care of my emotional, physical, mental & even loosely defined spiritual needs.

I love (and hate) the fact that I am able to feel what another person is feeling...my empathic side.

I love that sometimes I am able to just hold someone's hand and listen

I love my sense of humor...that I can make people laugh

I like....being curious!

I can sit and listen to ANY subject and actually be interested in it (if i dont know about it already). From the types of plastics used in bottles to the history of the word "sugar".

It also makes me verryyyyy open minded about everything.

I like the fact that I'm a female gamer - most guys get a kick out of that. :)

I also love the fact that I'm a Dance instructor, and I haven't let the fact that I"ve always been the biggest girl in any particular dance school/class/team/etc stop me from pursuing it. :)

I love that Im an idealist and that 40+ years of life have not made me cynical.

I love that becoming a parent has made me conciously become a better person and example.

I love that I can find worth in those I still dislike.

I love that I am such an enourmous fan of my celeb idols like I was of others when I was young.  Usually seen as immature, I appreciate still experiencing the excitment and fun they bring me. 

I love that Ive disregarded influences that might have made me prejudice.

I love that I can make my teenager laugh in spite of her efforts not to.

I love that Im dependable and honest.

i love that i am the bitchiest, most sarcastic, upfront person ever and i wouldn't have it any other way.

I like that I am direct and will say almost anything (I'm not scared to ask questions).

I love that I try the be the best mom I can be.

I like that I am openminded and not prejudice.

I love my super-long fingers and my knobbly knuckles.

I have pretty nice ears, too.

I love that I am a good listener.

I love that I can become genuinely interested in and excited about things that others enjoy (e.g., my husband loves pro football and pro wrestling and now I love them, too!  My dear friend loves chick flicks and now I love them, too!)

I love my cheesy sense of humor (Wanna hear a joke?  Q: What kind of teeth can you get for a dollar?  Give up?  A: BUCK TEETH!!  HAAAAAAA!).

ETA:  And, secretly, I love my stubborness!

humm....

sexy lips with lip gloss on

pretty hair when it's done

i can fall in and connect with any type of personality

 

I love:

• that I make people laugh all the time, whether I mean to or not.. 
  
• that I am full of little suprises. Most people don't know I can sew, cook, bake (or any of my artistic abilities) until I randomly create something.
• that I have a big, emphathetic heart.
• And mostly, I love that I love being me. I think it's why everything else in my life comes together like it does.

Once again, Eerica, excellent idea for a thread. You are such the pensive-type!

nice uplifting thread (:

-i'm a really understanding person and genuinely love to listen to people talk about themselves.

-i have an indestructible faith in God.

-i'm good at math (:

-my hair is super soft..who knows why.

-my feet are small and have high arches.

I like the way I always put stresses in words, always in the wrong and unimagnable places.

I like the way I argue-from both points of view at the same time.

 

I like that I can make people do double-takes just by changing the color of shirt I wear -- if I wear blues my eyes look blue, greens and they look green, and browns to really make them show their real hazel color.  One of my classmates accused me of having a collection of colored contacts LOL

The effect is a lot stronger if I coordinate earrings and eye shadow in the matching colors.  It's fun!

My intelligence! I love my curious nature and enthusiasm for learning everything! And impressing people with my ability to remember really long numbers, like barcodes and pi. To 31 decimal places. 3.1415926535897932384626433832795

Also just my "weirdness" as other people call it. I think I'm just creative and imaginative.

But most of all I love that I care. About people, about my work, about other animals... just being able to act in such a way as to make other people feel good about themselves. Trying to avoid other people being embarrassed. And I will go miles and miles out of my way to help somebody, even if I don't know them.

I agree with what aussiegirl said about smiling at random people too. That cheers everyone up.
