Y'all are very silly. I say "y'all" because of my dear friend, Lauren. I say you're silly because most of you think that the one truth in my last post was that I've only been pulled over by a cop once in my life. Ahem, is that because I'm such a perfectionist? Well, I am, which is why I've never been pulled over by a cop. Ever. Knock on wood (or Formica, or whatever this plastic-like material is that comprises my desk). Let's weed out the other lies:
Despite the trend in the eighties, I never wore jelly shoes.
= Lie. I wore jelly shoes in the eighties...and nineties...and I may still wear them.
Larry and I cried during the Adam Sandler movie, "Click."
= Lie. Larry did not cry. I did.
I went bungee jumping in 1999 and 2002.
= Lie. I went skydiving in 1999 and 2002. I would never go bungee jumping. Don't ask me about the logic of my choices. The second time I went skydiving, the parachute didn't open until very late. Picture me strapped to a "professional" yelling obscenities while freefalling. I won't ever go again.
I've read "War and Peace" twice.
= Lie. I've never read this even once, and I don't intend to. I used to think I had to be a more literary reader to be a good writer, but I know what I like, and it's contemporary fiction that doesn't hurt my brain.
I'm not telling any white lies today.
= Lie. I told a few, including those listed above.
So, the truth?
I went out with an MTV reality "star," put in quotes because he was really just a guy who loved Henry Rollins and got high on cans of whipped cream. I met him after I dropped out of Notre Dame (due to anorexia) and went to a local community college to keep myself busy (my mom's idea, and I'm still grateful for that). He passed me a note outside of class. It was really weird. We went out a few times. We saw "Sliding Doors," which is a great movie that nobody has ever seen for some reason. Then he went on an extended vacation to see his family in Florida and I was way too consumed with my eating disorder to care properly. I told him about my anorexia and he mentioned that he'd struggled with restrictive eating when he was doing hardcore martial arts. Weird. Anyway, we lost touch. I wasn't very interested, mostly because I didn't want to go anywhere near a can of whipped cream.
What's your weirdest dating story?
Would you ever go skydiving?

Today's gratitude:
1. My appetite's been really good lately!
2. We don't have children. I'm glad for this every time I have to wipe poop off the cat's tail (which I did this morning). I can't imagine having a human baby.
3. "Alice in Wonderland" comes out on Friday. I'm super excited about this, though we probably will wait a few weeks to actually see it in the theater.
4. The Oscars are on Sunday. I love movies and I love fancy dresses. What can I say?
5. I may have good reason to go shopping ;)

About Me
- Kim
- I'm a 30-year-old who still feels like she's 13 when it comes to answering that ol' question, "Who am I?" I'm a writer, relying on the brochure and website needs of clients to pay bills, but hoping that I'll publish one of my fiction novels soon (before the year 2030 would be swell). Oh, and I was diagnosed with anorexia in 1998 and have been in recovery ever since.

I have seen Sliding Doors. I agree very good moving. And I have been skydiving. It's so not me and I think I hardly believed it was really happening until I jumped out the plane. That being said. I would never do it again. After doing it once I am now too scared!! Go figure.
I love Sliding Doors! One of my favourite Gwenyth films by farrrr! And boy oh boy would I like to go skydiving- definitely would do that over bungee jumping :)
Hooray for el appetito :)
Yeah but eventualy the kid will wipe poop off your but. That's the way it works, or so I'm told, not there yet thank god.
I loved Sliding Doors but then again I am very obsessed with Gwyneth Paltrow. I basically just want to be her, minus being married to Chris Martin.
Skydiving? I am very impressed!!
Haha, I can't imagine having a human baby either. :)
Wierdest dating story? I think I have too many to even start. There was a whole string of first dates where each guy seemed to be a recovering drug addict who wasn't really recovering.
Ah, Sliding Doors. First date with my high school boyfriend.
So which real world guy was it? You must have been very young!
i liked sliding doors! it seems like a lot of people who read your blog did too :)
am curious as to who this "reality star" was!
I have actually always wanted to try skydiving. Maybe for my next bday. I agree with you about bungee jumping. It is not the falling that scares me, it is the prospect of being yanked back up like that, just seems ridiculous to subject your body to.
Someday, I want to go skydiving. I am looking forward to the Oscars. I have gotten pretty good at trying to guess designers.
Babies aren't so bad eventually they are potty trained.
DO NOT WANT TO SKY DIVE! there's no bigger scaredy cat than i am. i'm sure i'd have a heart attack. i'm palpitating just think about it.
i saw sliding doors and wanted gwyneth's short hairstyle. i went and got mine cut and it pouffed out everywhere. have tried to stay away from short hair since.
i once had a date with a young high school teacher. he told me that it was hard not to lust after the girls and then he said he could understand why someone might rape.
i told him that i was starting to feel really sick. unfortunately, he had to drive me back to my car. (this was way before cellphones and we were taking a walk near a park) and he started saying more weird stuff.
i ran as soon as i got to my car and took off.
this was when i was 21 -- i didn't think to alert his school district.
kim, your word verification is gluttitude. eek.
I LOVE Sliding Doors. I'm a big Gwynnie fan anyway.
I think you have found a cache of Sliding Doors fans. Perhaps that is the true unifying feature of your blog readers! :-)
That's crazy about the MTV guy! Sadly I have never seen Sliding Doors--I guess I'll have to do so now :) And I would love to try skydiving sometime.
I cried for the entire last hour of Click when I saw it at the cinema! I wasn't very well at the time and it was so embarrassing. My ex didn't know what to do with me! That isn't why he's my ex though :P
I don't know if this counts as a weird DATE story, but the first time I stayed at the same guy's house I was bitten by a mosquito, my eye swelled shut and we had to go to accident and emergency at midnight. He was really sweet and stayed with me but again, so embarrassing! I looked like Quasimodo for a week afterwards. Actually a couple of months before that we went up to London for the day and I got hypothermia, so that was an interesting date too! Goodness knows HOW this relationship lasted four years!
Aaanyway, that's probably enough about my weirdness :P I've seen Sliding Doors, it's a great film. I am still in awe of you for skydiving!
I'm waiting to hear the news about #5...'nuff said :)
thanks for giving us the scoop!
as a 41-yr old dork who should be beyond watching shows like rw, i have seen every single season and am dying to know which guy you dated.
i have been tandem skydiving and it was exhilirating. that was before having kids. wouldn't do it now. in regard to the babies and poop, once they smile at you, you don't care too much about cleaning up after them for a few years.
"sliders" was awesome!
entirely different note - i have to jump through hoops to leave a comment here (i have to leave my old blog addy), would you consider putting a "name/url" option for those of us folks who don't utilize the choices you offer? thanks for even considering!
Steven gets so grossed out when Data has poop on his tail. It cracks me up. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, so nothing really phases me anymore!
