#1. What's a nickname only your family calls you?
I have a ton of these bad boys, but the one most used growing up was Butter/Mcbutter. If you hadn't guessed, there's a brand of butter called Molly Mcbutter... and it was appropriate for a child. Now that I'm older, my family still sometimes calls me Butter or Mcbutter, but mostly it's Molly B. Or my mom will actually call me Ladybug or Bunny. My little brother calls me 'Bitchstick,' my sister calls me 'Sissy Mama,' and my older brother calls me 'My Molly.'
#2. What's a weird habit of yours?
I don't really think I have a weird habit?
#3. Do you have any weird phobias?I am deathly afraid of zombies. It probably seems really silly, but I really can't deal with it. My friends tease me all the time, especially at night when I'm more geared towards thinking a zombie would be out terrorizing. But yeah, deathly afraid. Do. Not. Want.
#4. What's a song that you secretly love to blast or belt out when you're alone?Personally, I don't have a problem singing in front of other people. But I guess one of my more guilty pleasures where music is concerned is showtunes! I get so into them, it's ridiculous. One of my favorites to sing is "On My Own" from Les Miserables. On the other end of the spectrum, sometimes I rap (poorly). I can do "Superbass" by Nicki Minaj perfectly, as well as "Superman" by Eminem, though.
#5. What's one of your biggest pet peeves?Oh geeze. When people are super arrogant; I think that's one of the worst things in the world. It's nice that you think you're super amazing or whatever, and I'm all for self-confidence! But some people just take it to an extreme level. Even when you have a gift, I believe in being humble about it. Most of the time I think people are super arrogant to mask the fact that they're actually really insecure and they need people to validate them-- or they need to validate themselves and attempt to rub it in other peoples faces. It's childish and just super ugly.
#6. What's one of your nervous habits?
An overabundance of giggling, fidgeting, biting my lips, playing with my hair. I used to bite my nails, but unless I'm stressed out of my mind, that doesn't happen anymore.
#7. What side of the bed do you sleep on?Whichever side is nearest to the wall, usually. When the bed isn't again any walls, I'm not really picky and I like to stretch out. Depending on the size of the bed, I can sometimes lay horizontally and I really dig that.
#8. What was your first stuffed animals and it's name?My aunt actually made me the first stuffed animal I can consciously remember. It's this great crocheted bunny made with pink and blue yarn. As a child, it was three times bigger than I was and even now, it's almost as long/tall as I am. It's one of those things I'm going to give to my kids when I have them. And I called him a ton of things: Mr. Rabbit, Rabbi (but not a Rabbi?), Bubby, Bubz, etc.
#9. What's the drink you always order at Starbucks?
What's the point of ever ordering one type of drink every time you go in? It depends on my mood and weather, really. On hot days I'll usually grab an Iced Green Tea (partially sweetened), or something like a Vanilla Latte (soy milk). My go-to drinks when it's cold: Salted Hot Chocolate, White Mocha with soy, Hot Green Tea (partially sweetened), Pumpkin Spice goodness.
#10. What's the beauty rule you preach, but don't often practice?
Usually if I say to do something as far as makeup goes, I usually do it myself. But as far as primers go, I'm pretty relaxed. I do very basic makeup for day-to-day: medium coverage foundation, spot concealer, translucent powder to set, a few coats of black mascara, black slightly winged (liquid) eyeliner as close to my top lash line, a touch of very light black (pen) eyeliner on my bottom lash lines (about half way across), rim my water line with a white pencil liner (dot in the corners for shimmer), light creme blush on the apple of my cheeks, chapstick, and some sort of lip color. I hardly ever prime my face or my eyes. I use moisturizers on my face and it's close, but not quite the same. I just don't like how heavy the products can feel on my skin. So, yeah, I suck at priming.
#11. Which way do you face in the shower?
Half the time I face the water, half the time I don't. It really just depends on what's going on.
#12. Do you any weird body skills?I'm double-jointed, so I'm able to do a lot of interesting things with my body. I can pretend my fingers are broken, I make shapes with my tongue, put my leg over head (I did gymnastics, dancing, cheerleading, and karate for years), and jump into the splits (as well as doing the splits in general).
#13. What's your favorite 'comfort' food that you love to eat, but that's bad for you?
Ice cream? Though I don't know if it's really comfort food, as much as it is that I just like it? When I think of comfort, I think of hearty things and they're not usually sweets; stuff like pastas, cornbreads, and things along those lines. Though I do really love apple-baked-anything.
#14. What's a phrase or exclamation you say/use a lot?
"Mother eff!" "Mother of pearl!" "Just Sayin'" "Fuck!" "Sweet baby Jesus!" "Fucking Hell!" "Dude!" "Fuckin' A!" "Shit ton!" "Ugly puppy!" I honestly try not to cuss so much, but it happens.
#15. Time to sleep! What do you actually wear to bed?
This is another thing that depends on the weather. Summer: Shorts and t-shirt; undies and t-shirt. Winter: sweater and sweat pants; sweat pants and hoodie; t-shirt and sweat pants. In between: tank tops and sweat pants; tank tops and yoga pants.
I know, that was all terribly interesting! Still sick, but getting better! I spent most of the day with a towel over my head, with my face above a pot of steaming water to help clear out my sinuses. And to be honest, this is the best I've felt in days. Still coughing, still obviously congested, but I think the infection is just about over and my sore throat has officially kicked rocks. I miss doing my hair, putting on makeup, and putting on cute clothes. I never really thought I'd be one of those girls, but I guess I am now.
In the last year, I've come to realize that it's okay to want to look a certain way and to be effort into polishing yourself up, as long as you stay true to who you are. So, even though my outfits are more pulled together and my makeup is flawless, it doesn't mean that I'm superficial-- it just means that I care about being the best me I can be, inside and out.
Cheers!
