101 Confessions [ June 01, 2002, 9:45 pm ]

1. I�m an open book now, but growing up you couldn�t bribe me to talk.
2. I'm a Leo and I do believe in astrology�but only when my horoscope is good.
3. I'm obsessed with fragrances. At last count I had at least 15 different perfumes. My favorites include Curve, BCBG Metro, Givenchy Very Irresistable and J.Lo's Still.
4. I call my younger sister Pookie because she hates that nickname.
5. My biggest pet peeve is when people call me Kris. My name is not Kris. You can call me Krissy, Kristine, KiKi or Kristy even, but NOT Kris. I am NOT a boy, thankyouverymuch.
6. I am a gay beacon: gay men flock to me.
7. The five people for dinner question: Madonna, Oprah, Walt Disney, Alan Cumming and Tina Fey.
8. I�m the neurotic overachiever that I am because I have a deep fear of failure. So I overcompensate by doing as much as humanly possible because I don�t want to fail. Ever. (And, yes, I realize that this is uncalled for and kind of inhumane and I have fallen and I know that it isn�t bad, but I still drive to be the best.)
9. I am a huge dork. I whole-heartedly embrace and love my dorky self.
10. Every girl says this, but I�m convinced that I am Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City with her hit-or-miss fashion sense, penchant for writing and guy troubles.
11. I hate tomato goobies--the slime and seeds in the middle of a tomato. It's just ick.
12. Although I love children, my body is a no-baby zone (although I probably could be persuaded to start a family by Mr. Right...or John Mayer).
13. When I fall for somebody I fall hard and fast.
14. Despite this fact, I have never had a real boyfriend.
15. My very first crush was on Egon from The Ghostbusters. My affinity for dorks began at the young age of four.
16. I have an independent spirit, but I�m still waiting for a defining moment where a guy does some sort of grand gesture for me, (like serenading me from the parking lot up into my window or secretly fulfilling one of my goals).
17. When I use a public restroom I have to use the 3rd stall. If it happens to be dirty, I freak out.
18. I have an undying love for Disney�s Stitch and any and everything Stitch-related.
19. Although it�s now one of my favorite movies, when I first saw Lilo and Stitch I wasn�t very fond of it.
20. I am a huge believer in all things working out for the best in the end. I've seen it happen first-hand, so NOBODY can convince me otherwise. Karma is both a beautiful and bitchy thing.
21. I believe that grudges are bad for the soul; I think that they just eat away at you and make you bitter, so I try to not hold them. Actually, I think it�s impossible for me to hold one for longer than ten minutes.
22. This is totally sappy, but I believe that I've been blessed with the greatest friends in the world.
23. There are four things that I MUST own in this lifetime: a pair of Manolo Blahnik stilettos, a Zippo lighter and a string of pearls. And of course�a cowbell.
24. I have a theory (and my gay friends back me up on this one) that I�m a gay man trapped in a woman�s body.
25. I am a messy person. I don't do the dishes every day, I only see my bedroom floor sporadically and laundry is a huge pain in the butt for me. I'm not the cleanest person ever and I�m pretty sure I never will. I�m ok with this fact.
26. My favorite time of year is fall and back-to-school time. I love the weather, the colors; I love the excitement in the air. And, um, shiny new pens.
27. I have an affinity for cheese. I looooooove it. Especially parmesan cheese. Oh, how I love the parmesan cheese.
28. I lived in an all-girl house for my first 2 years at NMU. And I enjoyed it.
29. My mom only has one vocal chord, yet is louder than my sister and I together. This fact both annoys and impresses me.
30. While I am an energetic person, one of my favorite hobbies is napping. Yum.
31. I love to procrastinate. I think it's so delicious to kick back and watch tv and chill out when you should be studying for finals.
32. I have a secret obsession with mullets.
33. I didn�t have any cavities until I turned 18. And now? I have two fillings between my two front teeth.
34. When I was in 6th grade, I was crowned "Best Female Shot" at Camp Nesbit. Translation? I can wield a gun and use it.
35. I. Love. Pop. Music. A music snob I am not-- I hold a special place in my heart for boy bands. I was in love with NSync when I was 18. And? I own Backstreet Boys� CDs.
36. I adore the movie SpiceWorld. My secret talent is that I can quote that movie scene-by-scene and line-by-line.
37. I tell people that the first CD I ever bought was Alanis Morissette. The real first CD I owned, though, was The Muppet�s Greatest Hits.
38. I'm addicted to lip stuff. I feel naked if I don�t have gloss or gunk on my lips.
39. I'm also addicted to Crispy M&Ms. Or anything chocolate really.
40. I feel sexiest when I laugh.
41. I fear rejection--hence the reason I don't make a first move. Ever. I fear rejection over spiders and death.
42. I do really hate spiders, though.
43. I�ve watched porn. And it was hard-core. And I wasn�t forced to watch it. However, all I need to really get going is Troy or Queer As Folk�those two things are enough to get any girl hot. Yum.
44. The words �fetish� and �horny� make me horny.
45. I have bought a sex toy before.
46. I cannot turn down a dare. Why my friends don't take advantage of this fact more is beyond me.
47. I used to want to change the world, but now I realize that that might not be possible. What I do realize as a possibility is to help individuals and maybe inspire someone to be the best version of themselves. Either way�it's a huge desire of mine to make my mark on the world.
48. I would love to fight for human rights. My dream job in college was to be an advocate for the Human Rights Coalition. It still is.
49. Nothing gets me excited like walking into a bookstore. There�s just something about the smell and look of rows upon rows of books�
50. The five women who could turn me gay: Catherine Zeta-Jones, Angelina Jolie, Kiera Knightly, Kate Beckinsale and Anne Hathaway.
51.And the five guys that could turn me straight if I were to become a lesbian: John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Sean W. Scott, Ewan McGregor and Rodrigo Santaro (from Love, Actually)
52. I don't enjoy negative people. While I have a good sense of humor, I'm in fact highly sensitive and I don't enjoy those who make a good time of ripping on me.
54. I am a highly optimistic person. I almost always see the good in any situation. I'm the one that people turn to for encouragement and support because of this.
55. I�m a cuddle whore. I like it almost as much as making out (and I like making out A LOT). This annoys me because usually I don�t have a cuddle partner readily available.
56. When I was 4, I rescued a chipmunk from drowning in our kiddy pool. Well actually I saw it drowning, began bawling and wouldn't shut up until my dad went and saved it. But it lived!
57. I like eating whipped cream straight from the can.
58. I think my inner child is a 7-year-old boy who enjoys stupid sex jokes a little too much.
59. I�m ordained. If you need someone to officiate a marriage or christen a ship or baby or thing, I�m your girl.
60. Sometimes I feel like I'll never need a boyfriend--why have one when I have a harem of gay men who put me on a pedestal?
61. I honestly don't understand sometimes why people are friends with me�I think I'm a boring dork.
62. While I made the Dean's List most semesters, but I don't consider myself to be that smart. I actually think I'm kind of a ditz.
63. The more I think about it, the more I think I'm a jealous, obsessive person. I should really work on that before my life becomes a soap opera.
64. I fear growing old. I don't want to end up drooling and helpless. This is why I avoid hospitals and convalescent homes as much as possible. It's horrible, I know.
65. I'm all about self-improvement. I read magazine articles and online sites to �learn more about myself� whenever I get the chance.
66. If I could be a guy for a day, I'd do it in a heartbeat. I want to know what it's like to have a dick!
67. I like to think I�m worthy of rich things (because I am), but the first time a Tiffany bag was presented to me (by my darling Joe) I took one look at it and started blubbering. I told him to take it back immediately because I didn�t deserve anything from there.
68. I get annoyed when I�m karaokeing and people aren�t paying attention to me. How dare they carry on very important drunken conversations while I�m belting out 80s tunes???
69. My new favorite thing to collect is cute underwear. I adore boy briefs and have over two dozen pairs. God bless Shop-Ko and Target for fueling this, uh�hobby.
70. I like to dance around my bedroom in the above-mentioned underwear. I feel cutest when I do this.
71. I could eat Chinese food every night of the week. I get great delight in eating with chopsticks.
72. I�m a beauty product whore. My bathroom counter is crammed full of hair, skin and makeup products�most of which I use rarely or not at all.
73. The channel that I watch the most is the Disney Channel.
74. I was a band geek in high school. I played the clarinet for seven years�my fingers are still formed to properly cover the keyholes of my instrument.
75. I used to work at K-Mart. I was the Blue Light Special girl.
76. I am a firm believer that people who wear socks with sandals should be shot. I don�t care how good looking you are or how off-the-fray or edgy you�re trying to be. It�s just�wrong.
77. The two kitchen items I absolutely could NOT live without are my tea kettle and my George Forman grill. I have a mild obsession with tea ever since returning from London and I don�t trust myself to cook chicken unless it�s on George�s grill because I�m horrified of getting salmonella.
78. Driving (and speeding) is one of my favorite things to do when I need to clear my head.
79. I didn�t taste Starbucks until I was 19 years old.
80. My biggest dream and worst nightmare is that I�ll turn into my mother.
81. I have a big mouth, which I run constantly. And sometimes my big mouth can get me in trouble; it can make me blush. But what makes me feel far more stupid is when somebody tries to shut me up. I feel entirely more embarrassed when somebody tries to get me to stop. They need to shut up and let me talk�I know what I�m doin� even when my mouth doesn�t, thanks.
82. Having red hair is a mild obsession of mine.
83. I had a fish named Hebert J from the time I came to NMU until October 2003--then he died. After his death I freaked out because he was symbolic of my college career and I thought that his death meant I was going to "die" at NMU.
84. I wear fishnets more than I wear regular nylons. This might explain why I don�t wear skirts to work very often.
85. I worry about a lot of things like my future and if my car is going to conk out on me. I�m neurotic by nature. But the thing that worries me the most is my mom�s health.
86. Although I�m a confident girl, I like to hear people tell me that I�m pretty or beautiful. In a way, it makes me feel like the time spent in front of the mirror and money spent on hair and makeup products is worth it.
87. My favorite time of the day is when all the stars and moon come out. 88. My dream vacation is to tour Europe and visit all of the castles and cathedrals. Katy and I will do that one day.
89. London is an obsession of mine since I vacationed there in 2005, not only because it�s a beautiful city, but also because I got to kiss many beautiful boys.
90. If there is a reflective surface, I will check myself out.
91. One of my proudest moments is when I met Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray in 2002, not because he flirted with me a bit, but because I managed to not make a complete drooling idiot of myself when he shook my hand.
92. I love getting flowers. Boys, take note.
93. I�m addicted to anything cinnamon flavored: gum, mints, Altoids, candy�I love Valentines Day because of the little cinnamon-y heart candies. Yum.
94. I believe in happily ever after.
95. I love fairy tales; I collect books of them.
96. When I was a senior I was voted "Biggest Mouth" (no surprise there) and "Most Likely to Become an Infomercial Spokesperson"
97. While there�s a perception that I�m a �party girl, one of my favorite things to do is curl up under a fluffy blanket with a good novel and a cup of hot chocolate. (Preferably with some John Mayer or Gershwin playing.)
98. My guilty pleasures are chick lit and chick flicks. I own hoards of girl-power novels, as well as DVDs like Bring It On, Legally Blonde, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and Coyote Ugly.
99. I have glasses, but I'm almost always in my contacts. I've started to wear my glasses more since people have started complimenting me, though.
100. I have a lot of heroes, including my mom. But as far as the entertainment industry goes, I really enjoy Steve Martin and Tina Fey--they're hilarious, but multi-dimensional. They inspire me all the time. I want to have a career like theirs.
101. I'm very content with where I am and what I've accomplished in my 24 years. I realize I've lead an enchanted (for the most part) life and that college has been good for me. And for this I am too incredibly thankful for words.
