I can't, I won't, I shouldn't...

Wednesday, June 17, 2009

Even though at times I am superwoman there are things I can't do.

I can't...
  • do a cartwheel
  • whistle
  • express my real feelings verbally
  • eat any form of seafood without gagging (not even tuna fish)
  • smell
  • confidently spell a majority of two syllable words
  • sleep without being heavily medicated

but I can..

  • give great hugs
  • screech like a dolphin
  • drive safely with my knees (safely in my mind at least)
  • teach a child to read
  • play twinkle twinkle little star on the piano
  • waste days at a time hanging with my friends
  • laugh at myself (and other people too of course)

I'm usually game for just about anything but there are a few things I won't do.

I won't...

  • pretend to be nice to someone I think is a dirt bag
  • touch feet or let mine be touched (not even for a pedicure)
  • go to Burger King ever
  • remember your name the first time we meet (probably not the second time either)
  • be patient with ignorant or stupid people
  • remember your birthday
  • lie to you and tell you that you look hot if you don't
  • follow the leader
  • be taken advantage of

but I will...

  • squat and pee when needed
  • call in and vote once or twice for a favorite on a reality TV show
  • be loyal
  • giddily support you in anything you attempt
  • remember details
  • show up when you need me to
  • be too loud to handle at times
  • go to extreme measures to be the center of attention
  • be respectful and polite when necessary

Even though I'm damn near perfect I frequently participate in activities I shouldn't.

I shouldn't...

  • swear like a sailor (I'm told it's not attractive)
  • pretend everything is alright when it isn't
  • be so bitchy to my little sister
  • spend so much money
  • talk badly about others
  • watch "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Outta Here" anymore
  • be so critical and hard on myself

and I should...

  • be proud of my accomplishments
  • work out more often
  • take time to chillax and not feel lazy doing it
  • answer my phone when someone calls (the first time)
  • write more thank you cards and send them snail mail
  • laugh
  • make a video of myself dancing to decide if they're all laughing with me or at me
  • choose to be happy

What can't, won't, or shouldn't you do?

This looks like fun, I'll have to save it for another rainy day.

PS I have an award for you at my blog! :)

I shouldn't.. eat icecream every night before bed.

So you'll flat out say no if I ask you out for soft shell crabs or deep fried calamari?:( we should just hang and make dancing videos then.

I should stop slacking at blogging duties like commenting!!! And I should quit my job and join the circus!!

Screeching like a dolphin and squatting and peeing all at the same time is sure to fulfill your "extreme measures to be the center of attention." :)

I love this and will definitely do it. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day.

Ooooo... GOOD ONE.

I've never been able to do a cartwheel, either, and it drives me CRAZY. I should probably keep trying before I get too old.

Whoops, too late.

super cute post idea!

i ALSO cannot and never have been able to do a cartwheel. an elegant somersault is the closest i can come.

and not even BK's hilarious commercials will convince you to go?

Just found you! LOVE this post!

Check out my blog! I am having a giveaway this week!

I can't do a leap frog or a handstand or a cartwheel and I'm 26!!

What a great idea!
"I won't be taken advantage of" - very important. I like that.

Oh, and I have an award waiting for you.

This is AWESOME. I can't whistle to save my life. :) I might have to make up my own lists!

Your post is great! I like everything you put down here... made me think! Oh, and screeching like a dolphin and unabashedly supportive of other people's adventures - awesome! What a friend trait!

Happy Wednesday!

Moonjava- Award? Hells yeah!

Trina- Good call. The treats before bed is a weakness of mine also.

Andhari- I would do anything for a good hang out with you. I'd even do seafood. In a nonsexual way.

Jen- I'll join the circus with you! Deal?

MLG- I never thought to squat and screech at the same time. I'm tryin' it!

Lilu- I know. That cartwheel is a long ago dream. Damn coordination!

Lusty Reader- Ellegant somersault. Perfect adjective!

Little Miss Southern- A new bloggy friend and a giveaway. It must be my day.

Miss *H- Yeah the handstand is a problem too.

Loys- Oh thanks dear. I'll go now.

Gabby- Do it! Do it!

DocE- The dolphin screech attracts the fellas. That's for sure.

awww cute post!!! I loved it!

I can't be friends with people aren't 'real' around me - fake people annoy the hell of out me. I can have a conversation in Sign Language after passing my levels 1 & 2 at aged 14. I won't allow anyone to make an argument without heairng the other side. I will always buy QVC ring and Nails Inc; it's part of who I am. I shouldn't swear...not lady like but I should remember that, whilst I'm struggling at the moment, my happiness is out there waiting for me.

I can't whistle either!

I blame it on the fact that I also have a slight lisp... so obviously something's going on with my mouth/tongue/teeth.

Also could not blow bubbles with gum until I was about 15.

I want to hear you scream like a dolphin! That could come handy this summer for sure...awesome post.

I love this idea! I think I'll post my can/should/will list tomorrow. :)

Great idea!! There was so much to comment on...I just can't pick one! Well may be one..."swear like a sailor"...guilty as charged and I can't tell you the amount of times that I was told its not "lady like" Sheesh

I love this! I can't whistle either... so sad :(

P.S. I left you a little bit o love on my blog. Check it out please!

Adorably D- Thanks love!

Serena- Your happiness is out there for sure! Let's hang out and hate on fake people together.

Sebastian- Whistling is completely overrated. I can't do it because I'm a spaz so at least you have a legit reason.

Laura- It's a summer fav!

TMC- You already did it and I loved it!

Lady Jane- Who ever said we wanted to be lady like? I didn't say that.

Anna- You left me a boat load of love on your blog!

GREAT post! i may have to steal this. you can't smell?! how awful! why?

Totally stealing this :) I love it! I also swear like a sailor, it's awful yet great at the same time.

ooh, nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and me thinks I likes it...

i traced all the way to your blog from "the way i see it" about these "lists that you do...i had to come read the original and i love it...i love your flow. i am going to give your lists a try!! hope u stop by!

I love you.

Can we be "too loud to handle" together sometime? I think that would be loads 'o fun. :P
