Fifty first things

My friend Maria Zahir did a video once of fifty things about her. But she made 25 things she loves and 25 things she hates. I'm gonna copy her, just because the entry I was supposed to post saturday night is not finished. So, here I come!

25 things I love
1.- I love photography, and as I have come to understand, it's in the blood! almost everyone in my family loves photography, since I have pictures that my grandfather took in 1948, and it's a little exciting fun fact about this family that I ignored. Until a few months ago, of course.
2.- I love music, and always have. I remember humming Yellow Submarine being a little girl, and dancing to Seaside Rendezvous (by Queen).
3.- I love coffee.
4.- I love this cup I'm drinking tea in, it has a Marilyn Monroe drawing and it says "coffee is a girl's best friend", and it is larger than most cups.
5.- I love my bedroom. Well, not love it really, but I do like it very much, it's my little world.
6.- I love the smell of rain (or wet dirt).
7.- I love Fight Club.
8.- I love thinking. It requires time and dedication, and I have both! probably (way) more time than dedication, but when I do it, I dedicate myself to it with passion as if I were writing. Thinking helps, and doesn't sometimes, it confuses you, but at the end you realize it's worth doing it.
9.- I love Tim Burton, and my dad loves to blame him for my love for pretty-odd (no pun intended) things.
10.- I love looking at old pictures and remembering when/why they were taken.
11.- I love my friends Dani and Kris, I don't think I'd be who I am right now if it wasn't for them. Certainly, I'd most likely be like anyone else, but they kept me safe from those normal boring ass people and made me realize a lot of things. I love them for a lot of things.
12.- I fucking love the Foo Fighters!!! They're probably one of those bands I'd kill to see. And those are just two, the other one being Incubus, and I didn't have to kill to see them. I only paid a really low price, and now I feel like I stole from them. Weird huh?
13.- I love orange juice.
14.- I love writing. Currently, I find myself stuck in writing this little thing, but inspiration found me once again and I'm dedicating time to write this other little thing, which is going good!
15.- I love unusual answers. For instance, a normal conversation would be like this:
- hey, do you have the time?
- it's 3:30 pm.
- oh, thanks!
An unusual conversation, which I constantly have with my friend Kris, would be like this:
- hey, do you have the time?
- what? how can you ask me that? I do not have the time! I do not own it! and if I did own it, I'd use it to sleep, which is something I hardly do...
- mm... good point...
See? I love that. I love unusual answers. Here's another example:
- hey, you already decided what you want to study?
- I'm going to med school.
What a boring and normal answer!
- hey, you already decided what you want to study?
- well, I wanted to be an astronaut, but then I realized I'm short-sighted, so I can't. And then I wanted to be like Evel Knievel but I realized he's not a really good example... so I'm gonna buy a harmonica and study it.
SEE?! HOW AWESOME IS THAT! I also love writing letters! Anybody want a pen-pal?
16.- I love how this answers might freak some (read: most) people out, because they are so used to normality, when somebody is "not normal" is weird, and unfortunately, there aren't so many people not normal in the world. But lucky me! I know at least three of them! and they're all my friends!
17.- I love knowing that I can change my life, and I love knowing that I will, no matter what.
18.- I love talking, when it is worth doing it with somebody who is worth talking with.
19.- I love when I meet new people, sometimes I make up stories and I tell them instead of giving them true facts about me. Most of the time, they don't ever talk to me again, but hey, that's the point.
20.- I love being called Dee.
21.- I love surprises, and little details.
22.- I love guessing.
23.- I love playing 20 Questions, and I can for sure beat Mike Carden at it.
24.- I love marathons.
25.- I love monsters!!!
26.- I love quoting movies. And I love it more when people get the quote and recognize the movie.
27.- I love my nerd friends.

25 things I hate
1.- I hate that this list is only of "25 things", because I am sure there are way more than 25.
2.- I hate my sister's bedroom, and how she tried to copy mine by putting things on the walls and writing stuff on them, with a really bad spelling.
3.- I hate this desktop computer I'm using, but we're getting the notebook back tomorrow! and that's not even worth counting, so it doesn't count!
3.- I hate when people let me down, I hate letting down people and I hate letting myself down.
4.- I hate when people (mostly my sister, but I hate it from everyone) take my stuff without asking first, even if it is the tiniest thing. It is mine.
5.- I hate when my brother, my mom and my sister close themselves in this little shell of ignorance and stupidity. Let me make this clear: they all walk away from problems, instead of facing them and talking. This is something I hate about everybody, but I do it because it reminds me of them, and having bad memories about your own family must not be a good thing. Just the other day, my brother did something to my sister and she yelled at him. When she yells, she makes this really high voice and it's annoying (a friend of mine who is a musician said he might never come back to my house because of that). Anyway, I politely (as I have been with her since she came back from that christian camp where they turned her into a fake saint but I seem to be the only one who notices it since everyone else thinks she is enlightened) asked her to please stop yelling, and instead calm down and tell him to please don't bother her. She squealed "I can't help it! I can't not yell!". Me: of course you can, because you yell, and therefore you can stop yourself from doing it. "No! I can't!" and she did that thing with her head like a little paranoic shake, which I also hate from her, my brother and my mom, and therefore from everyone else who does it, cause it reminds me of them, as I said. My dad and I don't behave like this. We're safe!
6.- I hate politicians, and people who blindly and naively buy their shit and think they're God. They're thieves, yet some cannot see that.
7.- I hate not remembering things. They keep me awake all night until I put my finger on it, but it's too late.
8.- I hate some of the memories I have.
9.- I HATE HOLIDAYS. there, said it! No, okay, not all of them, only the religious ones.
10.- I hate clichés
11.- I hate this country I live in. I am the most non-patriotic chilean person alive. To make it worse, I am sick of it.
12.- I HATE SCHOOL.
13.- I hate big hits. At least the ones from this time. (big 80s-90s hits are great)
14.- I HATE TYPICAL LOVE MOVIES. Which are most of the time the kind my brother loves, but I still watch them, so when somebody asks me if I watched a certain romantic movie, I say "Yes. I hated it". Person: then why did you watch it?. Me: so I can tell you I hated it, and have a ground.
15.- I hate being bored.
16.- I hate when things some things don't work out. But then again, if they didn't, there must be a good reason ever for that.
17.- I hate fake saints and posers.
18.- I hate Disney Channel Princes/Princesses (sorry Kris, I know you like them, but you know I don't) and anything that has to do with them.
19.- I hate being the good child, but I'm turning that around on my favor. That sounds weird! Hahaha. Well, I meant, I hate when my parents used me as an example, but they can't anymore. I turned out to be everything they didn't want me to. But they just gotta learn to deal with it.
20.- I HATE TYPICAL LOVE SONGS. They're probably the most disgusting thing that has ever been written. And to make it worse, everyone else loves them. Obviously this people don't know The Carpenters, or Barbra Streisand, or Admiration by Incubus (or any other Incubus love song if that matters. I recommend to listen to Stellar, Echo, Here In My Room, Southern Girl, Monuments And Melodies, Summer Romance).
21.- I hate when my mp3 player (no, I do not have an ipod) runs out of battery. Especially if I'm at school.
22.- I hate having to wake up early.
23.- I hate when some people, after you've explained something to them, they're like "so?". Either they don't get it, or they don't get it. I also hate when I'm explaining things that are not that complex to my brother or my sister and they ignore me. I have been avoiding that a lot lately, it's a fucking waste of time.
24.- I hate having to do things. And I hate it even more if I'm doing it for a mark, and I hate it even more if I have to lie and step on myself to achieve that.
25.- I hate me sometimes. But I wouldn't change who I am for anything in this world. Just the other day my dad told me (perhaps a few years too late) that they could've paid a private school instead of sending me to a public one, and I started thinking... if that would've happened, I'd be just like anybody else, and I'd hate myself for that. So I might wake up one day hating me, but then again, I wouldn't change it.
26.- I hate that Dig by Incubus, being the most amazingly different and beautiful song I have heard from them, brings me really painful memories. And I hate avoiding listening to it.
27.- I hate watching making-of's of some movies. For instance, I'd hate to know how Anthony Hopkins and Gaspard Ulliel did all those killings and eatings. I rather die of curiosity first.
28.- I hate Matrix. However, I enjoy the idea of a holographic world. But the movies suck. It's the movies, just that.
29.- I hate Brad Pitt. Even if he's the answer to any question that doesn't even have something to do with him, and even if my family (especially my dad) thinks he might be God, and even if he's perfect for any role he's played (I haven't watched Thelma & Louis though) and even if no other actor could've played Tyler Durden as great as he did, I still hate him. Yes, I see the contradiction. I hate him but I give him credits for being a good actor. I constantly do that, and I learned to deal with it.
30.- I hate when people say that my mom or my dad are cool. And some people don't understand why I don't see them like that. My only answer to that is: "you don't live with them".

See how I didn't do 25 of the things I hate? I could go on and on with both lists but I won't. My eyes are tired and my ears are begging me to listen to more Incubus.

Good night!
