Effortlessly Reading

I’m Turning Old + A Birthday Giveaway

Guess what today is? (As if the post title alone isn’t obvious enough.)

It’s my birthday!

I (sadly) turned 19 today, aka one more year until I turn into the big two-zero. This is also the last year I am a teenager, which is plain sad. (I’ll get even more funny/weird looks when people see me playing Pokemon on the train.)

time

Since I hardly blog about my personal non-bookish life on Effortlessly Reading, I decided that hey, why not tell you guys a little bit more about myself on my birthday?

I’m a bit embarrassed to admit that I took longer than a hour to come up with this list. :P

 
tenrandomfacts

1. I’m obsessed with Criminal Minds, Supernatural, Big Brother, Survivor, and Supernatural. Unlike my friends, I don’t really like watching K-dramas because they are so long in length (they are usually one hour without any commercials guys) and I have a short attention span. My current addiction is watching my childhood obsession, Sailor Moon (dude, how can I not notice all those inconsistencies in the anime when I was a kid?) because of the Lunar Chronicles, and Pokemon.

2. I’m currently in love with eating Lacey’s dark chocolate and almond cookies. They are only available in Trader Joe’s (in New York City, I don’t know if they are also available in other stores in other states) and they are delicious. I highly recommend it.

3. I currently have a job working with kids. I don’t really like it (but the kids love me for some strange reason), but I want the pocket money and the experience. My resume is perfect for becoming a teacher or some other job working with kids, but I don’t want to work with kids.

4. I’m in love with Charmanders (from Pokemon). Just look at the adorableness below!

charmander

5. Writing essays and book reviews comes naturally to me; it comes extremely easy to me. I had a 7 to 8 page essay to write and in two hours, I came up with ten pages of material, edited it all by myself, and got an A on it. Writing essay type things just comes effortlessly to me.

6. I don’t wear any makeup, unless lip gloss counts as makeup. In fact, I don’t know how to apply any type of makeup, unless it’s lip gloss. I don’t have any sort of makeup at all either.

7. I don’t know what major I want to major in, which is HORRIBLE, especially since I need to tell my college what I’m planning to major in in less than a year. Eep!

8. I’m not a forgiving person once someone really hurts me. I can hold a grudge for a very long, long time.

9. I do not know my own cell phone number. Yes, I’m serious. Every time someone asks me for my number, I take out my cell phone, where there is a sticker on the back that has my phone number written on it and show it to that person. They always end up laughing or looking at me in disbelief.

10. I have a short memory, so every time I need to remember something, I jot it down (which is the main reason why I take notes while I read). I normally jot it down on the palm of my hand using a pen because I don’t check the scraps of paper I write my notes on. I have a feeling I may get ink poisoning one day.

And that’s all for now!

  1. Happy birthday Kelly! Turning 19 may just be the best thing ever! Cheers!
    I wish I can be 19 again. ;)

    Hoping to win a copy of Pawn.

  2. OMGSH HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :D
    And HUSH, you are not old. Don’t say that! Makes me feel even older :p
    There is nothing wrong with playing Pokemon! I’m 25 and I have an obsession with Hello Kitty (actually I’m currently wearing fluffy Hello Kitty pajamas and I am not ashamed) and I still like cartoons. You’re never too old for that stuff! Sailor Moon! Ahhh, I miss that show so much! I tried to watch the series again earlier in the year, but I only made it into the teens and I just didn’t have time. Plus there’s like, a million episodes lmao.

    Those cookies look so good! I admire you for working with kids. I volunteered in my gym’s child care facility once…I actually loved it because I got to play with them, but they’re very exhausting and I only have a certain amount of tolerance for them. I’m certainly not ready to have my own! I like when I can play with them and give them back lol! Charmander IS totally adorable, but my favorite was always Vulpix! Cubone was really cute, too.
    Writing essays is easy?! I hate you right now. I totally SUCK at writing papers. :( I like to wear makeup because I like the way my eyes look, but I’m too lazy to put it on so I rarely ever use it. I don’t have a major either, in fact, I haven’t even finished college and I’m not currently attending. So don’t stress about that! I can’t remember anything either! My memory is absolutely awful. If I don’t write it down, it’s gone.

    Thanks for sharing these facts, I enjoyed learning more about you! (*ahem* You know, you should participate in Life of a Blogger so I can learn more ;D)

    Side note, I totally just saw your button. How have I not seen it before?! *grabs button*

    • Thank you Jessi! :D<3
      I am old according to my standards. In a year, I'll be TWENTY. TWENTY. THE BIG 2-0. -flails-
      Awww, that's so cute Jessi! I know what I'm getting you when you come over to NYC. ;D
      Ha ha, I only got to season 3 of Sailor Moon and kind of gave up. It was too tedious; I watched 55 cheesy episodes in a week. :P
      They are SO good. You have to try some! If you still haven't tried any when you come to NYC, I'll make you eat one. You'll love it too. :D
      Oh yes, the kids are VERY exhausting. They all love me for some weird reason (okay, not weird, I totally talk Pokemon with them :P) and they always bug me to do things for them and ignore the other teacher's assistant. And having my own kids? Uhh.... -shudders- SO not ready for that either.
      Ha ha, I'll show you a Vulpix in the game, but Pokemon X nor Y doesn't have it. I think I MIGHT have caught a Cubone or the evolution of it...
      Essays come so easily to me. That's why I love writing book reviews. :D
      It's sad that I don't know how to put on makeup; I feel like I'm missing a girl skill, if you know what I mean.
      You never finished college, yet you have a full-time job? Amazing! I want to be like that, but knowing my parents, they will KILL me.
      I will totally participate; it's just that I don't have any favorite bands. :P
      -hides before I see your rage LOL-

  8. I haven’t read any of these books but I am definitely excited for Smoke- I’ve heard some good things about it.. Ok, that’s a lie- I’m excited for all of the books… I love books… I probably should just rename myself Bookmonster :S

  9. First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

    And the books I’m looking most forward to is Pawn. It sounds so good!

  11. As a 29 year old just months away from turning 30, I completely know how you are feeling. But I will say, the twenties are SO much better than the teens. You are making choices about your life you never got to before. And no high school. I mean that alone is just the best thing ever.

    Happy Birthday dear and I hope this last teen year is the best ever!

    Don’t worry, you still have to play with Charmanders, he’s too cute to let him go. (I still can’t let go Pluto). Happy Birthday! Have fun ;)

  13. I have not read any of them so I want them all!!! But the one I’m most excited about is White Hot Kiss. I just love Jennifer Armentrout!! ^^

    Thank you for the giveaway and Happy Birthday!! :D

    Reply

  15. Well, thanks for making me feel SUPER OLD, Kelly! ;P

    I think Charmanders are adorable, too! ^_^ I’ve seen those Lacey’s cookies around, and wondered about them, but never tried them! Now I think I’m going to pick some up next time I see them. I don’t wear makeup either, aside from chapstick. Although sometimes I will apply some eyeliner (and the only reason I know anything about makeup is because my mom was an Avon lady when I was a teenager!).

    Don’t let choosing a college major stress you out too much. It’s not like it will be set in stone, so just choose something you find interesting and know that you can modify it later if/when you decide you need to. Even I, who knew *exactly* what I wanted to major in? I ended up changing mine within the first year because I learned about so much more cool stuff!

    Gosh, your memory sounds a lot like time! Yeah, if I don’t write something down, chances are good that I will forget it a few minutes later. >_< I guess that's why I'm also an excellent note-taker, at least in work/school!

    Anyway, happy birthday, Kelly! I hope you have a fabulous day. :)

  22. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Kelly! =D

    19 is not old. 23 is. Ha ha kidding. I sometimes like to think that I’m 20 ’cause 23 seems daunting but then 24 is less than 6 months away so eeep.

    Also, you must really like Supernatural ’cause you mentioned it twice. =P

    I’ve no idea what Pokemon is all about but I do want to start reading mangas soon (either Fruits Basket or Naruto) and I watch RWBY by RoosterTeeth which is just ah-mazing.

    Here’s to rockin’ 19! =D

  23. Hahaha, like I don’t feel old enough already ;) Happy birthday!

    It took me such a long time to memorize my phone number too! But I finally know it, that’s why I never want to switch again, haha. I’m not a forgiving person either.. I still hold a grudge against people who hurt me years ago. I also feel like book reviews come natural to me. It doesn’t take me much time and I think most of the effort is the language thing. No make-up, great! i like it when girls are all natural, although I’m not on of them. I like to have at least a couple of things on my face :p

  25. Happy Birthday! ♥ I love Criminal Minds, too! And I feel you on watching K-Dramas. Not only are they ridiculously long, they have more repetitive cliches than a typical YA book!

  26. Happy Birthday to you! I hope you have the most awesome, fantastic birthday yet. You really deserve it. Thank you for sharing little things about yourself. I haven’t read any of these books yet. I own Crash Into You but haven’t gotten to read it yet. I’m looking forward to reading White Hot Kiss and Pawn. They both sound incredible. Once again thank you for the giveaways. We should be the ones giving you presents not the other way around. ;)

  27. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KELLY.

    You make me feel old. (Even though I’m not that much older than you.) SAILOR MOON, ALWAYS.

    I am totally sideeying you because you find essays easy to write. I am the opposite. It is hard for me to write an 8 page essay in two hours. I am a horrible procrastinator so I applaud your greatness. ;D My eyes are popping out because you don’t know your own cellphone number? o_O I won’t be surprised if you forget your own name and have to wear a name tag. ;DDDDD I HAVE A SHORT TERM MEMORY TOO. I always think I’ll remember it, but nope. I never remember if I’ve locked my door when I actually have. It’s completely annoying to be paranoid that I hadn’t done it.

  28. HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELLY! I hope you have a wonderful day with books :p I remember I felt exactly like you last year when I turned 19. Now I’m going to be 20 in a week and let me tell you, I feel so sad for losing my teen years so quickly. I wish I could go back, even for just a little bit. So, cherish you’re last year as a teen remember, no regrets :D
    I’m really excited for Champion and Pawn. I wouldn’t mind reading either though Pawn would be better because I haven’t started the series for Champion. I would have to buy the first two books and binge read the series. Which would actually be awesome. Or I could just start new with Aimee Carter’s Pawn :D Thanks for the giveaway! ^_^

  32. First, Happy Birthday! Those zero birthdays really hit hard, though I don’t think 20 was so bad for me, but I’ve never hit 30. Never. I don’t plan to do so, either. Ever.

    As for the books – I want to read all of them. They are all on my TBR list, but I haven’t been able to get them yet. I really want to read Pawn, and Champion, and Smoke, of course. OK – all of them. But Pawn is at the top of my list. You are amazing, giving such a gift for your birthday. And thanks for sharing information about yourself, too.

  33. Happy Birthday, Kelly! 19 is not old, try being on the other end of 20! Hope you have a fantastic birthday. Thanks for the giveaway. I haven’t read any of these books yet but I am really looking forward to all of them, especially Crash into You, White Hot Kiss and Pawn..

    As for Pawn, I keep hearing some great stuff, so yay(:

    I think 19’s fun, well for me. I graduated last April in college ;) So don’t worry about your course, you can shift courses! <3 Uni life was so fun (again, for me) — the balancing of independence, studies and of course, overjoyed crowds ;) No one's there to judge you :D

    I've just read Pawn yesterday, it didn't captivate me that much but it was good. I had too much questions bugging me! But the thing was: I like KNOX <3

Oh as for K-dramas, kinda sad you don’t like them but I would recommend Reply 1997 since it is only around 45 minutes an episode (so almost like a normal american show).. OH! Have you checked out The Mentalist or The Good Wife? I have a feeling those are american shows you might like.. anyways HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :)

  120. Happy Birthday!!! I think I arrive a little late, but better late than never, right?
    Okay, I’m fangirling right now after seeing White Hot Kiss on that pile of books.
    I’ve read Crash Into You and it was also my most expected book of that month too. I’ve also read White Hot Kiss and I loved it sooo much that I want to have it *O* Btw, I’m team Roth. Just saying…. hahaha
    And the other two books, Smoke and Champion, I haven’t had the chance to read it, but I would love to.
    Great giveaway. Thank you so much for hosting it! :D

  131. Your ten random facts are amazing and I can relate to all of them. I turned 20 in January (and now it’s less than 4 months before I turn 21 *cries*) and I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that I should be a mature adult.

    The phone number thing? I’ve had the same number for 6 years and I still don’t know it off by heart, haha! For a while, I had a wallpaper with my number on it, but all the icons got in the way so I had to change it. Now it’s more of a “how about you give me YOUR number” thing.

    Same thing with the notes. I write stories and always get good ideas at the most awkward times. One time, I was in the queue to go to the bathroom at a club and asked a girl if I could borrow her eyeliner. Needless to say, the next morning my arm was all smudged and I could barely make out the awesome idea that had come to me… which sucks, because I STILL don’t remember what it was.

    (Yes, I might be stalking your blog. It’s too pretty to leave)
