fun facts

as much as i wanted to avoid THIS, i did it. i didn't want to fill one of these lists out for the very reason that everyone else is doing it, despite the fact that i love lists. but, since my best friend helped me think of things about me & i like reading other people's, here's my list of fun facts about me. here's my list-

1. I love to feed people. Baking for other people is one of my favorites, and many have eaten my kettle corn.

2. I love to play with my three brothers, with my favorite activities to do with them being playing board games, watching movies (to quote later) and dressing up.

3. I once played Lady Capulet in my fifth grade’s rendition of Romeo and Juliet. I also got to be the narrator in Dudley Do-Right during that same performance. Although I was relatively quiet growing up, I loved being on stage.

4. I still like to pretend things.

5. My favorite place to shop is Goodwill. Also, I am not a fan of the mall.

6. I tell myself bedtime stories (which also are told while standing in the shower, doing the dishes, etc.), and have even made myself cry with one of these stories.

7. I got to go horseback riding with my best friend, Lucy on her 16th birthday, and the horses ran away with us.

8. I like to sing, even though the last time I was in a choir was three years ago. I also like to play the piano, even though I probably should be better than I am (since lessons lasted from 3rd grade through high school.)

9. My personal belief is that cats are much more amazing than dogs. I have had three in my life, with two of them currently living-Davy & Jane. I like their independence along with their purring. However, it should be understood that I do still like dogs quite a lot.

10. When I was younger, my motto was, “when in doubt, chicken out.” (I would use this phrase to explain my reason of refusal to do something risky that my friends would want to do.) Since then, I have balanced my naturally cautious inclinations with some adventure.

11. I love soundtracks-both scores & compilations of songs. I have heaps.


12. My hair is twice as thick as any normal person should be and grows exceptionally fast. I once donated it to Locks of Love. Also, I have never dyed my hair and don’t ever plan to.

13. I have an American girl named Addy. My best friend had Felicity. When we thought that we were too old for dolls, we tied our dolls to a tree and left them scared and helpless all day long. (We dressed up so that they wouldn’t recognize us.) As a result, I felt guilty for days.

14. I love corny, romantic movies, like Enchanted. But I like lots of different kinds of movies…just not scary ones.

15. When I was in fourth & fifth grade, I read the Chronicles of Narnia at least 10 times each. I would cycle through all 7, usually read a few books and then begin the cycle again. I still have a special love for these books, along with many other children’s books.

16. I have yet to have my first kiss or boyfriend.

17. I love Jordan, my 2004 Jeep Liberty. She’s dependable, has a great heater and gets along with me very well.

18. I have had the same ink cartridge in my printer since freshman year of college. And despite printing heaps of notes & papers for nursing school, it is just now slowly beginning to run out.

19. I waited until I was almost 18 to get my ears pierced. Earrings are now just one more thing added on my list of things that entertain me.

20. My favorite accent is Australian, especially after spending three weeks there. It is like a combination of my two of my other favorites: British & Southern accents.

21. I once kayaked up a secluded river in Hawaii by myself, and it was one of the best moments I have ever spent in God’s creation.

22. I wear sometimes glasses, even though I don’t need them. They feel make me feel sophisticated, and help me become motivated to study as if putting the glasses on is also putting on my studious personality.

23. My favorite backpacking trip was in Sisters, OR in August 2008, yet had the worst conditions I have ever experienced outdoors: rain, thunder, lighting, heat, getting feverish and mosquitoes of Biblical proportions.

24. Growing up my favorite colors were pink, lavender & turquoise, but now my favorite color is GREEN.

25. I didn’t want to be a part of Residence Life, but felt like God wanted to me apply my freshman year. I am now in my third year on the Apartment staff, and am thankful beyond words for God asking this of me. My cup overflows.
