Like a rolling stone

Tagged by the Archster. Alrighty then. 20 things about myself, in no particular order of preference, as follows:

1. I can not function without my morning cup of coffee. Which, incidentally, I invariably end up spilling on myself.
2. I don't need to be the center of attention. However, I do need that one person from whom I require loads of attention. And when I say loads, I mean shitloads.
3. I always have this secret fear that my flight is going to crash. So just before it takes off I HAVE to call my dad and have him confirm that there is no way that that can happen to me and the odds of it are really low yada yada yada or I will just make a huge fuss and get off the flight. I really will.
4. I am a confirmed hypochondriac. I honestly think that I have every illness known to mankind.
5. Once I've made up my mind about something, don't even bother trying to make me change it. It takes a LOT to convince me to think differently.
6. What you see is what you get. I don't believe in layers. They just seem pointless. Of course this also means that I rub many people the wrong way.
7. I am unbelievably lazy. Even something as simple as getting myself a glass of water can sometimes be way too much trouble.
8. As anyone who has read my blog before can make out, I love dogs. And I'm way nicer to them than I am to people. God help a person who tries waking me up at 3 in the morning because s/he needs to pee!
9. My biggest fear is that I will wake up one morning and I will be blind. The fact that I haven't worn my glasses in about 6 months really does not help too much!
10. While I flare up really easily, I just can not stay angry with people. Believe me, I've tried!
11. I don't need to know everything about everyone. And I can't understand people who do. Sure, I like to gossip as much as the next person...but if someone doesn't want to tell me something about their life, I'm not going to get into a huff about it.
12. I'd rather bitch about someone to their face than behind their back. I can't pretend to like people when I don't.
13. I have this overwhelming urge to drop all plans of MBA's and corporate lifestyles and do something random like theatre.
14. I'm part of that rare breed of girls that hate shopping. Mainly I think because I'm too lazy to try on stuff.
15. I'm not proud of it but I am never on time. Ever.
16. I don't seem like it at all but I'm actually a very very shy person. When I'm with a bunch of people who I don't know, I don't open my mouth.
17. I need to live near the beach. There's something about is that is just so comforting and somehow I feel like I can breathe easier. My one year in Bangalore, I just felt so claustrophobic.
18. I find it way way easier to get along with guys than with girls. They're just so uncomplicated and there are no double meanings whatsoever. Having said that, all my best friend's are girls and I don't know how I would get through anything without them.
19. I have this sneaking suspicion that I am in the completely wrong industry.
20. I really really try not to judge people. And I will never bitch about someone I don't know at all.
