Maybe it's the pessimist in me, but I don't think I'm anyone's reason to smile. My mother loves me to death, but being she's religious, she'll say things like, "you're my biggest love after God". Normally, no one loves you more than your parents, and I lost mine to a deity.

I too have the same condition. My eyes look identical to this person's:

Maybe it's a cultural thing, so excuse my ignorance, but why do people on TV brush their teeth and then eat breakfast? That's the definition of counterproductive and needless to say, orange juice tastes terrible after you brush your teeth. It's an observation that's bothered me for some time now but I never brought it up.

The only anime I ever watched and enjoyed was Starblazers. It was on American TV about 40 years ago. You can watch it on YouTube now, if you wish, but I wouldn't recommend it.

When I was in high school I saw a lot of episodes of Inuyasha that played in Adult Swim. I liked it despite the fact that I never finished it, but aside from that, I find everything else laughable.

Speaking of laughter, whenever a mosquito makes its way into my room--which is everyday because Florida--I pretend I'm Steve Irwin himself as I'm hunting the bastard down.

Some of my drunkest experiences have been while on deployment. These are embarrassing, so please bear with me.

In Guantanamo Bay, we had a house party and we were playing King's Cup. I could have sworn I had like 3 drinks, but silly me got wasted, and it wasn't long before I knew I was crazy drunk. They walked me to a room and they said I fell on the bed face down and didn't move. They even walked in a few times to make sure I was still breathing. Needless to say I had a terrible hangover the next day.

Slightly NSFW

This other time I was in Bahrain. A group of us went out on a work night and had a few drinks, even had some officers buying us a few rounds even though that's a no no due to fraternization. Anyway, we had to be back on base by midnight so off we go. My roommate mentioned she was getting something to eat, so I head to our room alone. I take off my clothes and go to bed, but then I turn around and don't see her in her bed. I get worried and I walked out of the room, and then the door closes behind me. Yes, I was in the hallway in my underwear because I was worried about my roommate's sudden disappearance who'd just gone to grab something to eat. Luckily a girl walks outside, sees me, and fetches a blanket before asking me for my info to go get a spare key. Also, our floor was all female and I was beyond thankful for such fact.

When I drink, one of the first things to go is my memory. Like I'll be having a good time after a few drinks but not to the point where I'm stumbling around, yet the next morning I won't remember parts of the night. Not sure if it's like this for everyone else.

I have mid-length hair. I want long hair, but I also want to go back to my short hair. I don't know what to do.

I read the books twice. They are the only books I have ever read more than once; they were that good. No ONE person could ever spoil any of the Harry Potter books. There is so much content in each book, it would require between five and eight hours of movie to do each book justice. The movies are fun, but fall desperately short from what the books do.

I feel like you're trying to tell me something...

RAINBOW SIX: Reckoning

The clicking on the keyboard was practically the only sound within the room. Alejandra sat crosslegged on her bed, laptop propped up on a small stand in front of her. To her right, she had a fresh cup of tea on the bedside table, the steam rising away from the hot liquid. Alejandra usually waited for the tea to cool down a bit. She was unlike her mother who preferred to drink it hot. Her father, on the other hand, did not drink tea. He stuck to whisky, occasionally claiming it to be a gentleman's drink. But that was his excuse to drink whenever he felt like it, and neither Alejandra nor her mother paid him any mind.

Currently working on a program she'd created, Alejandra was lost in her own little world. She had gotten back from her work-out, taken a shower, and made herself a quick snack to eat while she waited for the water to boil. Once that was done, she grabbed her laptop and tea and headed to the bedroom. She had made some slight progress in the work she had planned to get done when the handheld she'd been issued went off. Alejandra turned her head to the side and reached for the phone that was also on her bed within arm's reach. She considered taking a sip of her tea, but thought better of it. The message that had been sent, while essential, did not elicit any response from her. She put the phone down, typed a few more things before shutting down the program, and placed the laptop aside. The tea was still in its place, untouched. Alejandra sighed before grabbing the cup and sipping some brewed perfection

Obviously that was a mistake.

The tea was still too hot for her liking, and she'd been foolish in assuming it had cooled down to her taste without first testing it. Alejandra grimaced momentarily before exhaling through her mouth. She hated burning her tongue as it meant she couldn't taste very good for a while. But she wasn't in a sour mood, not when she was about to get to work. She'd been looking forward to it since her arrival, and it was finally that time.
