The Essentials

The essentials of me:

  • I am a sucker for a good R&B song, and all things Michael Jackson
  • I am shy, but will embarrass myself in a second to make someone laugh
  • I am still secretly waiting to be discovered for a skill I probably don’t possess
  • My ovaries swoon when I see a baby, although I have no desire to ever have one
  • I hate checking my voicemail, but when I do I hate to delete them
  • I was a ballerina and jazz dancer, but have grown up with no rhythm
  • I am an eternal beach bum stuck in an eternally snowy state
  • I am interested in reading the Bible because I honestly love the book
  • I’m looking for someone to harmonize with even when I sing out of tune
  • I leave conversations wondering how I could’ve talked less and listened more
  • I will always stand in the middle of the parking lot during a snowstorm to try to catch the perfect flake on my tongue
  • I will always want to kiss white boys with curly afros
  • I’m a shopaholic to the core, but no sucker for a trend
  • I love that I grew up on musicals on oldies and will always need music in my life
  • I have never seen the harm in mixing my liquors in one night
  • I will always be looking for that job that doesn’t feel like work
  • I sometimes put friends over family and regret it
  • Sometimes I don’t
  • When I laugh sincerely, I cry

Now tell me something about the essentials of you.

I say we harmonize on “Don’t stop til you get enough.” You do the high parts and I’ll do everything else.

“…white boys with curly afros.” Like Greg Brady? :P

RS - I’m so in. Also, can we do that Girl Is Mine?

Even Greg!

this made me like you even more.

and you know what’s weird about “wanna be starting something?” that part where he’s all, “You’re a vegetable, you’re a vegetable, Still they hate you, you’re a vegetable, You’re just a buffet, you’re a vegetable, They eat off of you, you’re a vegetable”

love MJ, but that part always freaks me out.

Tiff? I heart you. So much.

Also, watch this. (In response to mixing your alcohol, I hope you find it as funny as I did!)

I like to embarrass myself for a laugh too. Sometimes it backfires but that’s not my fault, it’s everyone else’s for not having a sense of humor or a good irony detector.

We share so many of the same essentials! Thus why we are friends! The secret skill that we probably don’t posess. The voicemail AND rhythm thing (three years of jazz dance and look at me. What a mess!) Beach bum and bible thing as well as the shopoholic and mixing liquors thing.

I’m not for the singing though–because I’m as severely out of tune almost as severely as I suck at having rhythm.

[...] me crazy, but reading Tiff’s “essentials” today made me realize that really, all I have ever been searching for is a job that doesn’t [...]

I heart old school Michael Jackson. And I pretty much always cry when I laugh, love it.

Things we have in common: the work that isn’t work, fro boys, and the beach bum.

About moi: I’m introverted, but not shy.
I don’t really laugh out loud a whole lot, but smile all the time.
I love my school work, but often wonder if I’m going into the completely wrong area.

this one:
I am still secretly waiting to be discovered for a skill I probably don’t possess

That’s me that is!

I’m ok at everything and brilliant at nothing - and i hate it.

Love all things Michael Jackson too…but old MJ, pre-Dangerous…you, know before Blood on the Dancefloor (I’m still trying to figure out where he was going with that one… ;)

About me:
I appear to be stuck-up and snobby, but it’s only because I have to take time to observe new surroundings and people.
If I get a bad vibe after meeting a person initially, there’s usually nothing that can change my mind and make me like that person.
I NEED music in my life.

YES.

Exchange dreadlocks for curly afro. Although curly afro works. I was having a discussion on Deadspin two nights ago about the guy with the dreads on AI. He makes me feel like a 14 year old again.
