There are a lot of things that I\u2019m not really certain or consistent about. I wait until the last minute to fill up my gas tank, I have this cute habit of letting my laundry pile up, and I definitely don\u2019t drink enough water throughout the day.<br \/><br \/>I don\u2019t remember anything about trigonometry or algebra. Forget about biology or APA format. I have so many trails of thought it\u2019s more like a brambling forest of things I want to Google later on. I sometimes mix my left and my right up, sometimes at really inopportune times. <br \/><br \/>I literally spell Wednesday as Wed-Nes-Day in my head. Sometimes out loud. I still count on my fingers. I have to fall asleep with the TV on because the lack of noise is a little startling to me. Sometimes I\u2019m still afraid of the dark; you can still catch me running up the stairs after turning the lights off if I\u2019m the last one awake. <br \/><br \/>To be quite honest I didn\u2019t do enough research about Raleigh before moving here. It was like blindly putting a pin in the middle of a map of North Carolina and saying \u201calright, that\u2019s the next move\u201d. It took until moving here to realize that I do in fact miss my home state. But I will admit, the barbecue sauce down here is impeccable.<br \/><br \/>I paint my nails and within a week I start picking it off. I can be either pretty impulsive or completely paralyzed with indecision. I\u2019m still learning how to swim, or rather, to float. I think Nickelback is a fantastic band, and I won\u2019t let myself say that out loud. I\u2019m really gullible. I like the idea of horror movies, and then end up spending half the movie hiding my eyes behind my hands. Sometimes I eat ice cream for breakfast. I believe in horoscopes. <br \/><br \/>Anyway, I would take my advice with a pretty good sized grain of salt. <\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m thinking about how I operate, and honestly I probably wouldn\u2019t ask myself for advice.
