ok, that's just scary

it's like we really are kindred spirits

Princess Pessimism said...

LOL....Why do you say that?

Px said...

there are some many things on your list that could go on my list

Princess Pessimism said...

I'd like to read that list one day....

Px said...

yeah one day i might have to post it...
one day when i'm bored and have nothing to do...
so probably tomorrow lol

Princess Pessimism said...

LOL.....it wont take as long as you think it does....i was surprised at how easy that list was to write....the hardest part was pushing "publish blog"...not many people know those things

Lindsey said...

That really is seriously freaky. 3/4 of your list is my life. Everything except for the well off family stuff. We were fairly poor..oh and I don't have curly hair. That's gotta be a bitch.

Hmmmm. I think I'll have to sit down and see if I can come up with 100 things about me.

crallspace said...

Jeez..lots to comment on. Few comments.

I used to not admit when I was wrong, but doing so is a big step toward becoming a better person- cliched, but true.

Try brussels sprouts. They're damn good.

You're not the first girl I've met who hates the word MOIST.


I cry during movies a lot more than most guys, but not during operas...Clockwork Orange for instance- I bet I cry the next time I watch it.

I generally don't like other people either... nowadays, I let people's politics determine if I will be their friend. If someone calles themselves a neo-conservative, they may as well have spit in my face.

Contrarian said...

Oh my god we are the same person!

No, not really.

Sure, lots of your list could on mine, but that's true for most people. Most people have a hard time admitting they're wrong, or think their self-esteem is low (when it is relatively high), or don't know what they want to do with their lives.

This was a really good post. It takes a lot of courage to write what you did. I know I'd have a hard time letting people know things like that about me.

Good job.

P.S. For google search purposes, could you do me a favour? In you link to my page, can you change the site from http://www.chazinc.blogspot.com, to just http://chazinc.blogspot.com, and the link text from Chazeriffic to Chaz? Thanks a lot

Princess Pessimism said...

Chaz...Thanks....A LOT.

And no problem, I can switch that for you

Px said...

well i'm at work today now and although i think i might have a lot on, i'm not 100% sure i have and so i'm sure i'll find some time to do it, and if not, i'll do it later

Natalia said...

Erm... was that a tag or was that just because you felt like it? Anyhoo...lol...lovely list :)

-N

Princess Pessimism said...

Natalia...just something I did on my own....If you WANT me to tag you, I will.....LOL

SS said...

I also know several people who dislike the word "moist." I'm cool with it though.

Anyway, kudos to you for getting this list together. I think I could start a top 100 list about myself and it would take me a year to finish (after taking many breaks to play Clue)

Courtney O. said...

Very interesting list...oh, and I agree that Nixon and Reagan sucked. Come to think of it, I think the only decent president we've had in my lifetime was Bill Clinton. Total perv, but relatively good pres. Go figure.

Phil said...

Wow! I think it would take me forever to write 100 things about me, and then, if I was honest in the list, I'd be afraid to let others read it. You were very brave.

Princess Pessimism said...

Thanks Phil....Glad you liked.

Courtney...A NEW commenter??? HORRAY...welcome...dont let Phil scare you away....LOL

FU said...

i noticed that in your profile you say you play "that's your boyfriend". i play "that's your wife/husband/lover" with my friends. wow..i thot i was the only meanie out there :)

my acting classes are with an casting director anne tait. i heard weird things about Eleanor Fulcher coz they advertise on the radio and most good agencies don't do that!! arghh.. but yay for your friend :) always happy to know other actors get work! one day..it will be me.. :)

popfizz said...

berly02 said...

You have never had coffee???
I think I may cry. I can't function without the sweet nectar every morning.
Really great list!!

Princess Pessimism said...

Nuclear Beaver - I eat blueberry Babyfood for breakfast.

FU - I LOVE theres your boyfriend, its the best game ever. No, I do not still eat rocks....I guess my mom told me that my gums used to bleed all the time, I learned the hard way I suppose. And Elanor Fulcher.....Yes, I agree. 100% shady. Good agencies never need to advertise.

Princess Pessimism said...

StillForNow - Well, I'm honored....thank you for leaving a comment....

POPFIZZ...back from the dead darling...I havent seen you on this side of my blog in quite some time. Hockey you say? I've seen a few games live...they're much better, but what I meant is that I hate participating in team sports....and I dont generally watch them either. I like individual sports.....tennis, martial arts, rock climbing.....


Berly - Never for coffee....If I want energy in the AM, I eat apples...LOL. They dont make my breath stink.

Jaime said...

NEVER EATEN A DONUT? EVER? (not ever?)
You don't know what you're missin'. :)

Princess Pessimism said...

Jaime....Nope....Never...and i'll tell you another thing...St. Catharines, where I'm from, is the donut capitol of the world.....

Princess Pessimism said...

Trading Cards??? I just like multiculturalism...and I think other cultures are fascinating.

Lindsey said...

You know what...I totally hate coffee too and no one can seem to understand why. Give me a cup of hot chocolate instead and I'm all set.

Ah..Courtney wrote you...so did Berly. You'll like them, they're funny. Courtney was my first ever blog friend. :0)

Princess Pessimism said...

Linny...

I've never tried coffee....It stinks. No thanks. And I totally agree with you about the hot chocolate.

Princess Pessimism said...

Chefwes...LOL.....Uh ya....I dont know what prompted me to tell the entire world that......

Princess Pessimism said...

John - you must have read this blog eons ago, as I have just found your comment. Anyway, I tried to go over to your blog and leave a comment for you, but you profile is not available to the public. Should, by some miracle, you ever come back here and check this blog, email me....its in my profile.
