First, a little disclaimer: I am a little nervous to post this because Hollie is funny and I am not. People laughed when Hollie made her list and I'm pretty sure people will just feel pity for me and try to convince me that I don't suck. This is just fun and games because we were kind of sick of hearing about perfection and needed a reality check. I can laugh about everything I wrote and I hope you can too!!
1. I lose everything. Just yesterday, I was pretty sure I lost $80. I found it in my wallet, right where it should be?!
2. I am messy messy messy. I think it would be hard for anyone else to make the messes I do-let alone, clean them up.
3. I have REALLY good intentions, but REALLY poor follow-through."The pathway to hell was paved with good intentions." Is that right? I have thank you cards, letters, and presents from years ago. Sorry potential recipients.
4. I am lazy. I can sleep all day and still not feel rested. Contrary to what most of you might believe, I would rather stay in bed like Hollie wants to, but JP won't allow it. JP might kill me for saying this, but I fell asleep kissing him when we were dating!
5. I procrastinate like crazy. I justify myself by saying I work well under pressure. Too bad it only works sometimes.
6. I'm the worst commenter on blogs. I really like seeing what everyone is doing, but I just don't comment very often.
7. Okay, I'm copying Hollie again, but our suckiness must be genetic. I can't buy anything full price, but LOVE a good sale. Luckily, I have a husband who LOVES the opposite.
8. I'm indecisive. My dad always asked me if I wanted an opinion for Christmas. Maybe I will get one this year.
9."I'm always late, but worth the wait!" I don't know if that last part is true, but I do have a reputation of being late. Somehow the on-time family gene slipped passed me.
10. I wear "inappropriate shoes" to my internship. Ha ha.
11. My idea of cooking dinner is throwing frozen foods in the toaster oven.
12. I can't rock climb. JP agrees. Kelene told me to try a "really easy" route, her "warm-up" and said I could "walk up it." She was pretty embarrassed when I couldn't do it! Don't worry, I think it's funny.
13. I get weird ailments/injuries all the time. I need knee replacements and I'm 23.
14. I don't call my family and friends nearly enough.
15. I eat WAY more junk food than fruits and veggies.
16. I just learned a new one! Apparently, I'm incapable of replacing empty toilet paper rolls. Another genetic trait.
17. I take pictures of everyone and say I will email them, but never do. Maybe I will start tomorrow.
18. I sometimes laugh or make a face when I lead the music in sacrament because I still don't know what I'm doing and I can't sing (is that 3 reasons?)
19. I don't cross train and I'm always sore (this reason is kind of a joke for JP).
20. I'm known as queenie or #1 by my family cause I really don't suck, and I do everything right!!!! Just kidding, this brings me to my last point...I cried every time a sibling would say that until I was about 18. I still might be a LITTLE sensitive-OK a LOT.
I tag Alison, Liz, and JP and anybody else who wants to do it.

Oh brittany you don't suck don't be so hard on yourself haha
maybe you stop sucking tomorrow brit?
:) but keep on wearing those "inappropriate" shoes.
Dear Beeta, Yes, Hollie is funny, but we all have our unique ways of being funny, and you are funny in a special way :) #1 is not true. Yesterday, you found your camera and all the photos on it that had been missing since last Easter. It was a joyous occasion as you and Peeps discovered what was once thought to be lost. #2, Messiness is hereditary. It's not your fault. #3 You could interpret the phrase: The road to hell is paved with good intentions as being a possibility, not a foregone conclusion. That frees you up to go ahead and act on those good intentions vs. labeling yourself. Does #4 mean JP needs to improve his kissing skills? lol, Peeps! Also, you have a masters degree in a dang tough program, while working, skiing, and sleeping. Do lazy people get masters degrees in dang tough programs? Answer: no. #5 We all procrastinate, just don't procrastinate the day of your repentance :) #6 Blogs can be sources of guilt; so what if you don't stay wired 24/7? It's unhealthy. Turn off the freaking computer and go back country with your cool, Rondolay bindings! Skipping ahead to #9, ask Steven to tell you Roosters latest quote. It will put you at ease, knowing you are late but you are clean. Emailing photos takes a lot of time, something you don't have. Once you set up Apple mail, emailing photos is a snap. Next post: 20 ways I excel. I tag you and Holwonder to counter the toxic effects of my fun at the time idea to post the ways I suck list. love, dad
Yeah, you really do suck - I mean you can't even resist a good sale. I don't think I have bought anything full priced in my life. And I think you are funny.
beeta!! it only took two weeks for you to come up with your list!! i'm not complaining, you're the only one who did it, yahoo! you are darn funny, and SMART!!! and i love your sucky guts.
You make me laugh! I think some of those traits are genetic--like the indecisive gene. I don't have it, but my husband and his family sure do! I love the inapproriate shoes, and all the comments Julia gave you about your clothes. Some people don't understand good style!
Beeta pretty much you are one of the funniest girls in town. Your sucky list was so funny. p.s. I qualify for most of those mentioned, so either we are both sucky OR the coolest people we know!
And yet you are still completly lovable. :)
BRIT! I love it! You are HILARIOUS!!! I actually knew most of those, and I still love ya! Your suckiness is actually what i envy! I need to be more laid back & not "care" about being late, getting in my bed, having too much opinion, etc! See, you think you suck, but those qualities are what i NEED!
LOL!!!!
Brit you and your hub are so cute. i love you. how are you? it's been like 20 years.
see how many comments the suckfest is generating?!! it's a revolution baby!
You didn't mention your HMHT or the fact that you drove the BLT in high school, those would have really rounded out the list nicely.
jk

OH Brit- give yourself more credit! I think that you leave great blogging replies. :-) Are we still going biking today??? I'll call YOU!
I love this. These things are all true but I don't think they make you suck. They make you cool.
Brittany, you are so funny. I think we have a lot of "sucky" traits in common. I am super indecisive, so sensitive, and could sleep in every day. Plus I lose everything. I've lost my cell phone like 3 times this semester and have had to go pick it up in BYU's lost and found.
You are not alone..
Beeta,
Number 3 and number 5 are the same item, just worded differently. You thereby reduce your suck quotient by 1. I will keep searching for inconsistencies in your list and reduce the harm of the insidious practice I started.
love,
dad
