Well I have stolen the 30 posts idea from Marianna, thanks! It is such a cute idea I just had to participate. The first one is that you have to tell 15 things about yourself. These are things that you may or may not know but here we go. We'll start slowly...
#1- I have the CUTEST nephew! His name is Mathew Orrin and was born on June 18, 2010. We took him Black Friday shopping with us and he didn't cry one time. I think that it may be in his blood, yes a male that didn't complain the entire that we were shopping. I love, love going shopping on Black Friday it's such a great tradition that the girls in my family have started.
#2-I have a slight obsession with suckers. I attribute it to the fact that Arleigh and I use to crave them while we were rehearsing for the play but couldn't ever find them in Ashton. Now I have bags of them. I am beginning to think that maybe it's becoming a problem
#3- I actually am capable of drawing something that resembles the object I'm trying to draw. This semester I took an interior design class with my roommate Alyssa and we have to sketch furniture for each period of history and surprisingly they actually look pretty good. They even have to be done in ink, ridiculous!
#4- Until I was in eighth grade I thought that 'corn on the cob' was called 'cob on the corn'. Apparently my parents thought that it was cute that I called it the wrong thing and never corrected me. I was giving a presentation in Ms. Chantrill's eighth grade History class and was discussing that fine yellow vegetable when everyone started laughing at me. It wasn't until after complete humiliation and my project was done that someone broke the news to me. Occasionally, to this day I still catch myself saying the wrong thing. Thanks Mom and Dad!
#5- I have a very keen sense of smell, especially when it comes to cologne. After a guy leaves the room I can smell him for minutes after he leaves. Thankfully guys try to wear ones that smell good so it's not bad unless they wear a stinky one, then it's not ok!
#6- I hate ears! Anything to do with ears absolutely grosses me out. Actually typing this about them is almost more than I can take. I think that I have this problem because when I was a baby I got a million ear aches until I finally got tubes in my ears. I don't actually ever remember having an ear infection but apparently my mom does.
#7- My favorite feeling is when you have laughed so hard that not only do your abs hurt but your cheeks are cramping, your back is having spasms, and you're dehydrated because of the tears that are streaming down your face. Then when you finally get yourself under control it can all start up again with just one look.
#8- My big toe is as long as my pinky.
#9- I have an obsession with t-shirts. I didn't realize this until my roommate Malerie was watching me unpack some of my clothes and she asked me "What are you going to do with all of those t-shirts?" When I looked at what I was doing I had filled two drawers of my dresser with them. You will be glad to know though that this year when I moved in I only had one drawer full.
#10- I like to give really strange presents for every occasion. I think that a present should represent some part of the relationship that you have had together. Usually some super great memory that we have had together.
#11- I won't go to bed without telling all of my roommates goodnight. Usually we all say apartment prayer together but sometimes someone is on a hot date or something and I don't get to say goodnight then. This usually leads to me writing some great poem telling that they need to have a great sleep and that I hope that they had a great time. It's just better that way when everyone is told that they are suppose to have a good night.
#12- I have a new love for dying my hair. I don't like to dye it any color that isn't natural, no blues, purples, or pinks but I do like to change it. I think it's fun to change things around and I love the looks that people give you when they are trying to decide if you have done something different.
#13- I LOVE lists! I don't know if it's more the fact that I like to know exactly what I need to do or the pure satisfaction of crossing something off. I have a to do list for everyday of the week and then ones for long term life goals. Don't worry though if I don't get something done it's not the end of the world I just like it to know exactly what I need to have done.
#14- When I go somewhere I have to take a clean pillowcase with me. While traveling your pillow gets super dirty and I just can't sleep on it, so I take a clean one with me. Also I don't remember the last time that I slept on a store bought pillow case. I don't know when it started but my mom started making me pillow cases out of fleece and I still have every single one. I won't sleep on anything else. I just like to sleep on something cuddly I guess.
#15- My favorite holiday isn't one that is recognized by... well basically anyone outside of my family. I don't remember when the tradition started but I have since named it "Pie Day". The day before Thanksgiving all of my aunts and girl cousins who are going to be at my Grandma Murdoch's for Thanksgiving Day come over and we make pie. I don't really know or particularly care what all of the boys do but I do know that I absolutely love Pie Day. This year we made 15, pie crusts and all. We use Grandma Alta's recipe for pie crust and then we just go crazy!
I hope that you have enjoyed learning about me if you thought that you already knew everything about me. I hope you learned something new!
