I'm back!!

I've been really bad at updating my blog again, probably because Im always drunk, but I am going to try and cut back on the drinking for a little so with all this new spare time I thought I would try to start blogging again (this idea will probably only last for a day or two but atleast Im trying).I haven't written anything for awhile so I thought I would ease myself into the process by being completely unoriginal and copying blog posts that other people have done. So, here are 20 things that you may not know about the life of kretsch....

1. When I was younger I really wanted glasses so I went to the eye doctor and pretended like I couldnt see any of the letters. They then gave me glasses which I could never wear because I couldnt see anything with them on...Sorry mom and dad for wasting your money.

2. I love to go shopping and can probably outshop anyone. I also hate to leave a shopping excursion without any purchases and since I never have any money I always buy a bunch of stuff just so I can bring it home and feel like I bought stuff, even though I will bring it back to the mall a few days later and return it so I can go shopping again.

3. I am a completely different person when you really get to know me. It takes me a long time to get really comfortable with people and once I do you will see a side of me that not many get to witness. For example, my good friends from college find it completely normal when I refer to the hair that sticks up from my head by the name Shamus, and they are not at all weirded out that Shamus writes poems and recites them in his special voice (i.e. his infamous poem "Don't be a poo").

4. If I could eat any foods for the rest of my life and be happy it would be nachos or chili cheese fries.

5. I still love stuffed animals. I used to have to hug and kiss all of my stuffed animals every night before bed because I thought they all had feelings. Although I have gotten over the whole feelings thing, I still have a secret stash of stuffed animals under my bed.

6. If I could do anything with my life I would want to be the person on movies or tv shows who finds music and syncs it with the show. If only I could have figured this out while in college because there is NO WAY I am going back to school.

7. I have 13 ribs....normal people only have 12.

8. I dont really cry and I esp dont cry in front of other people. I remember saying bye to friends in high school or college when everyone was crying and I tried to fake tears and couldnt even do that (Annie consider yourself lucky, you witnessed my one slipup with our goodbye after graduation).

9. Im an extremely messy eater. I should never wear white because I will probably spill on myself within 10 mins of wearing it. This problem is only exaggerated when I drink. I cant even explain what my clothes look like the morning after a drunken bingefest.

10. I used to be super athletic. I played almost every sport and was acutally good....To anyone who met me after I started college, this may seem like a huge shock.

11. I have a huge fear of being late. I will always show up to work or anything atleast 15 mins early and leave myself tons of time to drive somewhere. If im running late to something I start to have a mild panic attack. I blame this fear on sports coaches growing up who screamed at me and punished the whole team if you were even 1 minute late for practice.

12. I have only thrown up 4 times in my life, 2 of which were from drinking. For those of you who know how much I drink and black out, this is truly an amazing feat.

13. I respect that people have different beliefs and views on politics, but dont get me started on gay rights or abortion, but esp. gay rights. Im sorry but there is no excuse for not allowing everyone equal rights and please dont use the Catholic excuse that marriage is meant for only a man and woman. I promise that this conversation will not end well.

14. My biggest fear is that I will be in exactly the same place in life that I am now in 5 years.

15. I've always wanted a pet ferret.

16. I used to play the drums in middle school. I had a whole drumset and was kinda a big deal. I also volunteered to play the drums at church on Sunday and was in my church's bell choir (I was 15 and everyone else in the choir was about 60+....I was really cool).

17. When I was in Kindergarten I broke 4 bones in my face by pulling my hat over my head as I was sleddding and running into a tree. I couldnt leave my house for 2 months because people would be scared of my face and my parents had to cover all the mirrors in the house so I wasn't scared of myself.

18. I write myself "To Do Lists" almost everyday and rarely ever accomplish one thing from them.

19. I always dance as I clean my room.

20. My favorite movie of all time is The Three Musketeers. I remember I watched it 26 times in one year.


Alright, that was much more difficult than I thought it would be. I need to learn how to write and be creative again so bear with me for a little while I try to regain some intelligence. This was just a warm up, but I'm gonna get back on this blogging bandwagon so watch out for more posts to come!
