30 Things I Love About Myself, Inspired By TheFrisky.com

So a writer at TheFrisky.com wrote a fabulous article about 30 things she loves about herself. This struck me because usually you see 30 things I love about blah blah and it's never someone writing about herself. Brilliant idea! At the end she suggested everyone do this, so I am merely being a soft pushover and saying, "Yes. I will participate in such a feminist act."

1. I am a total animal person. Anything with fur. Even hedgehogs.
2. It's hard for me to think, really and truly, that someone is physically ugly, even though I hear it all the time from friends.
3. I find Brad Pitt-looking boys to be boring to look at. Imperfections are what catch my eye.
4. I can draw like frickin' Da Vinci.
5. I can write anything I want with gusto and clarity and fantastic ambience.
6. I love using big words. Words fascinate me.
7. The fact that my hair is naturally reddish and wavy (it's dyed a medium auburn right now).
8. No acne! Victory!
9. The way my alabaster skin looks pinkish and smooth every morning.
10. My hands and feet are the opposite of freakish.
11. I can identify a car by looking at its headlight.
12. One of my best friends lives in Japan.
13. I've been to Japan! As well as Puerto Rico, Mexico, Canada, Spain, Italy, and France. I will be adding to this list as much as possible.
14. The fact that I consider fast food to be beneath my standards.
15. I don't like to wear a lot of make up. I very often just go without nary a coated eyelash. Otherwise I feel like there's something on my face I must take off immediately.
16. I haven't drunken a regular soda (or any soda) in longer than I can remember because I am aware of how much 40g of sugar actually is and that aspartame gives you cancer (it does!).
17. I care about the environment and encourage everyone on the planet to either by a hybrid car or travel by horse, which would be pretty freakin' cool.
18. I have never dropped out of a class despite my many, many doubts and realizations that it is quite difficult.
19. I believe reading books can make you more intelligent whether you know it or not, resulting in better vocabulary and grammatical structure while speaking.
20. Sometimes I prefer soundtrack music with violins and gongs and trumpets and real instruments as opposed to synthesized radio music. It's much more natural.
21. I definitely do not want my mother spending more money on me than she should because I believe parents should reward themselves as much as they reward their kids.
22. I know for a fact that if you do not have a boyfriend, you are not considered "alone." So suck it up and enjoy grocery shopping and working out by yourself for once!
23. No one should deprive themselves of the God-given gift of sweets like cupcakes, gummies, and ice cream because I sure don't.
24. My awesome wardrobe and fashion sense.
25. I love trying new foods even if they have a funny name or look weird. There's no point being narrow minded.
25. I don't have a love/hate opinion about anyone I've never met--aka celebrities.
26. I read the last Harry Potter book in 4 days.
27. A few years ago I had a great desire to speak French, so I spent two months teaching myself the language. It worked.
28. I wanted to go to film school, and actually did it.
29. Sometimes my dreams actually happen.
30. I know when enough is enough.

I too encourage people to do this list, or at least think about it.
