Secret #27 Joke Snob

So I've always enjoyed being a funny person (even if it is just me laughing at my jokes), and I'm pretty proud of my sense of humor; For instance, I find it the greatest compliment when I say something funny and people ask me where that joke was from. I just tell them it came from me. But, one of my biggest annoyances is when I've said something funny and someone repeats it, and then they are the ones who get the credit for my joke.

Secret #26 Shhh


I really shouldn't be posting this as a secret, but I've sort of run out of secrets to give. I have four more after this and I really don't know what they will be. You should know that when I started this project I only had about five secrets planned. I've done those five and more have come to me, but right now I cannot think of a single secret to write. Most likely this is just writers block. It's a challenge to think of 30 secrets about yourself with pictures to represent them, but I've tried. This isn't my first bit of secret writers block, so I'm not too worried about it. I always end up thinking of some secret later on. Plus I only have four more to go.

Secret #25 Podcasts

I listen to probably 2 hours of podcasts a day. I use them to stay informed about the world and what is going on in it. It's better than reading a newspaper. I use my ipod for podcasts more than for listening to music. Most of my listening occurs when I'm driving alone. I've learned a lot and I feel like a well rounded person because of it, and the best part is that they're all free from itunes. Some of my favorite pocasts are:
This American Life
NPR: Fresh Air
NPR: Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!
PRI: Selected Shorts
The Moth Podcast
New Yorker: Fiction

Secret #24 May

May is my unlucky month. It seems that every year in May I have a lot of problems: either something bad happens, or what I have planned that month falls through. I specifically noticed this trend when I bought my first car. I bought it in May and it didn't make it out of that month before I had a $750 repair I had to make. Now every year I have to take my car in for registration, and every year there is something that needs to be fixed, and every year I have to struggle with the money to pay the repairs. It's not just the car has problems. My plans seems to often fall through in May. I don't know what it is about this month in particular, but I do know that I have already started to see the bad luck of May. I just hope I can make it to June. Everything is much better in June.

Secret #23 Dr Pepper

Hey, sorry it's been a while. I was stressed with finals, then after finals I just didn't want to write anything anymore (since I wrote like 50 pages of stuff for school in the last two weeks), but I'm back now.

Dr Pepper is the only soda pop that I truly enjoy drinking. (I may be addicted) I've gone through spurts where I've enjoyed other soda's (Welch's Grape, Sunkist, and Ruby Red Squirt), but I always come back to my Dr Pepper. The amazing thing about Dr P is that it has no taste...that's right; you heard me. Instead, it has a delicious after taste. When you drink it, see if you taste the soda. then, wait just a second afterwards and opp...there it is, cool smooth deliciousness. That's what makes Dr P so great. My brother is trying to get me to drink Diet Dr Pepper, but I feel like the diet and the Dr P aftertastes would compete with each other and I just don't want that. So, I stick to what I love, the original Dr P.
