Annoyances: slow walkers, people who lose patience easily, when people correct how I say something ( I am from the country, forgive me)
Accomplishments: I have managed not to go completely crazy in the last few years, I have a lot of love for a lot of people
Confusions: Why do care what or how much I eat? Why people can't let other people be happy? Why as a society we hold women and men to such strict ideals of beauty?
Sorrows: Loss of loved ones, cancer, failed friendships and relationships
Dreams: For life to be better than I could ever imagine in whatever ways that entails.
Idiosyncrasies: I have a compulsive issue with smelling my hands, I say a lot of random sayings that apparently are only popular in my family, I turn my head to the right and apparently look confused when trying to focus or listen to somebody, I play with my hands when I am nervous, I am a little bit of a germophobe
Risks: I have a tendency to say whatever is on my mind, I hiked off path once and was body hugging a rock for dear life
Beloved Possessions, Now and Then: Then: My froggy blanket that my Nana made me and my doll named Katie. Now: The ring that my Opa gave me
Problems: My anxiety, my addiction to coffee (is it really a problem?)
In my family, we say a lot of weird backwoods sayings that I have come to realize are usually lost on the general public. Which is why I am accurately described as the redneck of my friends. Here's a list of some of these saying with general definitions:
- I'll be dipped in peanut butter- Used with something unfortunate has happened, equivalent to "Oh crap"
- I have to pee a river- Means exactly what you would think. I have to pee really, really bad.
- Hell's fire and damnation- Also means " Oh crap"
- Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit- It means "Well I didn't know that"
- Meaner than a snake- If someone ever tells you this, you are pretty mean
- Too big for your britches- Took on more than you can handle
- Like a bat out of hell- you are going pretty fast
