Not-Picnics and Secrets

This is directly related to a blog post I just read, where the last statement(?) was, "So now, tell me, what are your not-secrets?" Instead of posting a comment below the post, I decided this would be easier. So here are my Not-Secret secrets. (Directly taken from the blog post)

1. I do not enjoy rain and thunderstorms. The rain makes me wet and cold, and thunder gets me startled, not necessarily frightened. The rain makes my hair wet and pastes it to my face which is the most annoying feeling in the world (what a hyperbolae).

2. I also enjoy being the youngest (of 2). It also comes with it's share of not so great things. Being youngest gets you stuff. Literally stuff. It's more or less your parents spoil you more when you're the youngest. I've gotten to do stuff that my brother wasn't allowed to when he was my age, and loved rubbing it in his face. But, being the youngest also sucks. He got to do things that I haven't had the chance to do, even at the age he was. I feel ignored by a large amount of people. I feel like my brother is the greater one that everyone loves, and I'm just his younger brother (even though some people are unaware of this fact)

3. I've suffered with mild depression (I guess I self-diagnosed myself with that). I had moments where I didn't care about anything, I didn't want to do anything, and I cried a lot.

4. I like feminine colors for attention. Otherwise I enjoy dull colors. My favorite color is black, though I hate seeing that color on decor, etc. I prefer seeing white, which I find odd....

5. I am a fan of the Simpsons and Seinfeld. I don't enjoy anime, or animated television for the most part. I see bland, or plain stupid story-lines, with failwhale dialogue and actions.

6. I have two major problems... kind of. When I was born, I had to major problems would be a better way of putting it. Or I could say, I'm a miracle. My eyes are 40% larger than the average human's eye. By all the other cases of this birth defect, I should be blind, and yet I don't even have to wear glasses! And more so than that, when I was born I showed some serious signs of autism. Doctors said I would never ride a bike, I can ride a bike without my hands. I've got a larger vocabulary than some. Yeah, God is a crazy guy.

7. I love people. Some people know, because I hang on them (not literally, but not metaphorically either) But, some people, I try to show, but I'm scared to hang around them and looking immature and stuff so they just write me off. In other words, I suck at trying to show that I like you, I guess.

8. I don't particularly hate certain seasons, but I do hate fall and Winter in Iowa. I love fall because it's very beautiful with the numerous colors and shades of the leaves, but I hate it because it's cold, and I hate being cold, which is why I absolutely hate Winter. I don't enjoy the snow, or the cold, or wet, or anything about it. I like spring because it's pretty and a tolerable temperature. Summer is weird.

9. I hate talking on the phone, or I hate talking individually with someone, trying to converse. I fail at conversation. I usually revert to asking people questions about them (usually about bands or such)

10. I don't find much enjoyment in reading. I don't know why, I just don't like reading, I much rather be hanging out with friends, filming something, or writing, because I love writing.

11. I hate being around a large group of people I don't know. I'm quite socially awkward, so I usually stick to one area with someone I know and wait for someone else to talk to me.

12. I don't like living in Iowa. I would much rather live somewhere that there was an abundance of nature. I lived in Washington state once, and it was awesome, there were trees and trails everywhere.

13. I don't like a song because of it's lyrics, I like a song based on how the vocals sound, and generally how good the band is. I pay attention to the lyrics later (unless I can hear profanity clearly, or anything else offensive) Once I start listening to a band I'll listen to one song from that band for a long time. Then I'll get tired of it and find another band I haven't listened to in a while. I don't try very hard to find new bands...

14. Ice Skating? I quite enjoy it, I suck at it though. I find it fun to be terrible with someone. Like a friend, or something like that. Someone that will laugh with you when you trip over yourself and are laying on the ground like an idiot.

15. I enjoy picnics... I guess? I like the being outside part, but that's also the part I hate. There's bugs everywhere and they're annoying and get on your food and it's gross. But I do enjoy sitting on a nice patch of grass and hanging out with people.

So, there's my not-secret secrets.
