The Definition of Narcissism Pt. 1
If this list was written for Facebook I could’ve cared less but I had to make this TwentyFourCarat-worthy so it took me over a month to come up with these facts. Having a personal blog is as narcissistic as it gets… it was hard coming up with more facts that I haven’t published yet. 
The meme was to list 25 facts about yourself but I split it into 5 parts because 25 is too much to read at once.
- My wedding was either going to be themed Old Hollywood or Marie Antoinette but now I’m pretty sure I’m going for the Marie Antoinette theme. I hope none of my friends who will get married before me steals my theme.
- I know I said that you should never head to a stall where the toilet seat is closed but I realize that I ALWAYS put down the seat before I flush if there is one because I’m paranoid with the nasty bacteria that flies out of there when you flush.
- Ways I think I died in my past lives: by fire, being strangled and in a car accident.
- I want to own and live on a horse ranch. I was a city girl but now I think I’m a country-girl at heart (whose never lived in the country).
- I don’t want a house with hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances. I want my house decorated with the splendor and extravagance of past centuries (with a hint of contemporary glamor) but then I’d have to be super rich to do so because I want the whole package… so hardwood floors and stainless steel appliances will have to do for now.

Omg Kootz. I don’t think you have to worry about anyone stealing your wedding theme! I’m not sure bout your other friends but I think you’re the only one that would make an MA theme look nice. I think you’re really the only one that would be able to pull it off, if ever. And that goes for your interior design preferences as well!
As for me, I am definitely a minimalist! I want everything nice and clean. I am actually already compiling photos of interiors that I would get inspiration from for my future home

Aww thanks Mer! I wonder how all the girls are going to do their weddings actually… it’ll really show everyone’s personalities I think which is kinda cool.
I use to like minimalistic decor too but now I want over-the-top! I like somehow went on the other end of the spectrum. :O I better watch out, you might too and steal my theme!! Hahaha kidding!! ♥
I was thinking of starting a wedding scrapbook too because I have a huge collection of reference photos on my computer. I don’t plan on getting married in years but it’s good to get a head start in the planning.

1. That is an AMAZING wedding theme. Great idea, really. I take it that you dress will be all Marie Atoinette-like?
3. Ok, you’re kind of creepy, Katy. Hahah
5. Yeah, I would love the interior design of my house to look old fashion as well. The difference with mine is that I want it to look dark and gothic.

ahhhh because of micro i swear i feel like i’m surrounded in poo all the time lol that sounds so wrong
i’m curious what makes you think you died in those ways in the past life
REPLY
Oh and I forgot to say this earlier… if you’re ever in LA again, go to the Getty Center (it’s a free museum) and check out the rooms that they have there. You will absolutely love it there! There was this beautiful bed that will probably kill me if there’s ever an earthquake (I’m not even going to explain exactly what it looks like because I’m never good at explaining things but it has a heavy attachment which looks like it can fall) but it’s so beautiful! I wanted to bring it home with me.

i love the classy style of french palaces. i love chandeliers, but have always liked the idea of having chandeliers with a bit of a mern twist.
ummm yes.. i have been thinking about poutine ever since i saw your post on foods. chips and gravy is delicious– i cannot dream how good poutine would be! what kind of cheese do you use?
REPLY
Katy

I think they use fresh white cheddar cheese CURDS. The fries should be fresh cut and I think the gravy makes or breaks it …. but it also depends on the kind you like.
I’m just picky but my goal is to try poutines from everywhere. Ahahahaha.

Hey girl! Thanks for stopping by… Yeah, he is totally ignorant and I notice that he says things like that often… Whatever, karma will get him.
Anyways to answer your question a long time ago: the restaurant is a new take on Chinese food that is healthier and made with Viet sauces, and has a lot of Thai, Cambodian, as well as REAL Viet food too. 
REPLY
Oh God I’ve seen those topics on facebook! I did one but wanted to keep it privately..didnt’ want people I barely know anymore looking on it
I don’t think I’d want a theme for my own wedding…more a colour scheme
And build around that! Those rooms look AMAZING.

Hm I know what you mean. I didn’t want to post it on Facebook either because it’s weird having actual people you know in real life read your stuff. I know people I know come by my blog but not all of them so I’m fine with that.
REPLY
Oh man! That room is bigger than my whole apartment, I bet.
Yes, after taking physics and talking about it during class, I started closing the lid before flushing. If I don’t, I feel like shit is getting all over my face as I flush it. Well, just tiny particles of it actually does fly out, but my paranoia makes it feel like actual shit and crap is hitting me in the face. Lol….
REPLY
Oh man. Can I live with you someday?
And can I crash your wedding?

OMG hun,
your part 1 was hilarious (number 2 anyone?) and entertaining to read!!
The second picture you have of the french renaissance room looks very much like one of the ballrooms at the St. Regis in New York! do they have ballrooms like that in Vancouver?

I don’t think SUVs are just for older people.. a lot of people are telling me not to get it and get a nice sports car for now since I’m still young but I don’t really care what they say. SUVs are nice and their convenient because we go snowboarding and on road trips a lot.

I rarely encounter public toilets with seat covers. You have no choice but to see the “surprise” if you happen to glance in the stall D:
REPLY
wait a second. am i getting this right? you want to live on a ranch & have an extravagantly decorated house.. so a want a ranch decorated with the splendor and extravagance of past centuries? haha i’m just teasing you~ i’m sure you’ll become super rich & be able you have both
REPLY
Katy

Oh damn totally contradictory!
Umm… well I want to live on a ranch when I retire.
Or I can live in my extravagant house with stables and a lot of horses. I think that’s good enough for me!
REPLY
I think I was a huge guy in a past life that died in a car accident. I don’t know why.
A Marie Antionette wedding sounds amazing! I would love to hear your ideas on that. I hope your friends don’t take it.
REPLY
It took me an hour to write my 25 random things. I mostly wrote unnecessary crap.
I do the same with the toilet seat. xD I love your style of decoration. :-)
REPLY
Ooh a Marie Antoinette-themed wedding sounds lovely. I also love mixing classic design with contemporary. Now if only I had the money to do so…
REPLY
I want a vampire-themed wedding and I’m settling for this second choice because you already announced to the blogosphere that you want a Marie Antoinette-inspired wedding. Thanks for beating me to the announcement. :-)

You live so far from me so I wouldn’t mind if you have the MA theme wedding as well… we can share ideas!
REPLY
oh I love the themes!
REPLY
I can totally see a Victorian themed house when I think of gated communities. Time to save up girl
I dunno what wedding reality show it was – I swear it was on Slice though – where this couple had a Marie Antoinette themed wedding and all I thought was damn, that must be expensive. Everyone was in costume. It was like a ball. If you did that for your wedding, it’ll definitely be magical.

I vaguely remember watching that too! But it was when I was watching the Marie Antoinette movie and in the scene where they were having that extravagant ball was when I decided my wedding was going to look exactly like that. Well not exactly… I only wish. Sigh.
REPLY
I do the same thing! I google things wrong with the ex, and he starts freaking out based on my diagnosis haha. I’m usually quite right. But I can over-exaggerate things or diagnose myself a bit premature
haha.
I figure it’s better to anticipate doom and then find out I was being silly, than the other way around haha.
REPLY
Haha you make yourself seem so complicated!
I love your taste!
A Marie Antoinette themed wedding sounds amazing! Don’t worry, I won’t steal it. I’ll probably do a classical wedding since I’m boring like that! haaaah
I use to always put the toilet lid down too! I do step as far away from the toilet as I can though before I flush. No public bathrooms have toilet lids. So if no one is in the bathroom, I’ll open the stall, flush with my foot, and RUN outta the stall hahaha.
I’m a suburban girl who has to be near a city, but I love animals so much I want a farm!
REPLY
I agree with the whole toilet thing. Sometimes I flush before I even use it with the lid down since some people don’t flush (eww)
If I win the lotto, I want to be 70% off the grid and have more victorian furniture. Until then I’ll get stuck with the ugly cheap modern look.
REPLY
OMG, I do the same thing with the toilet seat cover too. I always close it if there is one, even in my own house. I always picture gross bacteria flying around in water droplets whenever I flush. It’s especially gross at home because my toothbrush is sitting right near the toilet. I think I’ve even trained the BF to close it whenever he flushes.

OMG I wish my BF would close the lid when he flushes!! I get sooo mad at him when he doesn’t and he nevers!!
I also think it’s gross how some people have their uncovered make-up brushes and stuff on the counter right beside their toilet. Can you imagine how dirty that is and it goes on your face!
REPLY
i agree on number 2
thankfully some toilets in japan shut themselves, flush and reopen
cute huh?
REPLY
Okay that dying part is scary..KOOTY!!!!
I love that room, I want my future house to look old school victorian too. That would be pretty!
