epic fail.

it is very seldom that i will actually admit that there are things i can not do. but alas, there are a few things.

1. eating all my fruits and veggies. i've grown by leaps and bounds, but unless french fries are considered a veggie, i don't think i'm meeting my daily quotient.

2. i have tried to play five different instruments. and have NOT been able to stick with any of them. i just can't do it. it's not that i can't keep beat. i can play the djembe when i'm drunk. but that's about all i've got.

3. saving money. i have very little to show for all the money i've made in the past ten years. but i'm thinking if you open my closet, you will probably see a big chunk of it.

4. resisting my mom's homemade brownies. damn paula dean had to introduce the world to brownies made with symphony bars in the middle. so they're all gooey in the middle with perfect bits of almond and toffee. i could make myself insanely sick with the amount of those brownies i could eat.

5. stick with things. i try. seriously, i do. i usually blame it on being a gemini. we're a bit flighty. i end up just falling for something and get into it for about a week and then drop it. like knitting. scrapbooking. being a vet. doing gymnastics. well, this list could go on foreverrrrr.

6. making myself throw up. i know that's something people don't say "man, i wish i could make myself vomit!" but seriously. when it comes down to it, i just can't do it. and in the days when i drank a lot, it would have come in quite handy.

7. picking guys. apparently this one will have to have it's own post devoted to it because it's THAT bad. i either pick ones that don't like me back, that are nuts, that are unavailable. OR (the best!) that they are all of the above because they are gay. and trust me, there have been quite a few of those.

8. science. earlier i was trying to figure out if i am worse at science or math. i deduced that it's totally science. mainly because someone once complimented on my ability to do long division. but no one has ever commented on my mad science skills.

9. biting my tongue. i try (i PROMISE i do!) but sometimes it's just not possible. sometimes things slip out that should never have been put out into the universe. but there you have it. it's been said and i can't shove it back in. and most of the time, i'm actually glad i didn't.

well i'm going to stop there before i make myself feel worse about my shortcomings. hopefully next time will be a bit more uplifting and all that.
