Random Things

25 Random Things with commentary

1. I refuse to eat brown M&M’s. I don’t like them. (never have, never will)

2. I have learned that as soon as you utter the words “I will never” God has different ideas. (Boy does he ever)

3. I am not a patient person..I just have a massive capacity for self-control. (I even won the "Self-Control" badge at GA Camp one summer)

4. Worrying is an artform to me. I am worrying about at least 10 things at any given moment. Maybe more. (I've calmed down considerably since I don't have quite as much to worry about, but like I said it's an artform..so I CAN do it anytime, anywhere)

5. I regret going to the college I went to. I’m grateful for the people I met, the good teachers I was exposed to, and the things I learned. But I wish I hadn’t been too afraid to go where I really wanted to go. (I got an education, for that I am blessed. but I'll always have that twinge of "I shoulda")

6. I dip wheat bread in my sweet tea as a snack. (and it is soo good!)

7. I HATE clowns. (This is my Auntie's fault, she takes responsibility for it & everything. but still I hate em.)

8. I think you can love more than one person in your life. And I believe in soulmates, but I think you only get one of those and you don’t always end up together. (yeah. sigh)

9. Birthdays were always a big deal in my family. So much so that I do not work on mine, I consider it a holiday. (it's a national holiday in case you were wondering & I accept presents.. the entire month.. it's not limited to just 1 day)

10. My elbows & knees are double-jointed. I can’t really do anything special; it’s just the way I am. (I think I look odd, but no one else has really ever noticed UNTIL I point it out.. then they always make a face)

11. I LOVE music. I want to constantly listen to it, buy it, own it, sing it, dance to it, whatever. I can’t get enough and there’s very little I don’t like.

12. I wholeheartedly believe what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. And I’m an actual example of it. (BECAUSE I'm still alive)

13. I am picky. V E R Y picky (on soooo many levels & I refuse to apologize for it)

14. I love my family more than they may ever know, and I’m so very grateful that they’ve been there for me when I needed them. (they are soo awesome)

15. Everyone told me my sister and I wouldn’t really get along until we were older. I didn’t really believe this because I wasn’t her biggest fan (of course I loved her, I just didn’t really LIKE her) but now I can honestly say she is my best friend and if I could choose to grow up and old with anyone it’d be her. I hope she sticks around. (crossing my fingers)

16. I have a strong interest in event planning. I haven’t done anything with it other than plan the occasional party or shower, but I’d like to do it on a bigger scale. Too chicken. (still too chicken)

17. I’ve secretly always wanted a house that’s a cross between Graceland and an antebellum home. I love Elvis & the South, so I think it’s a perfect combo.

18. I cannot use scissors very well and it is all my mother’s fault. (she will attest to this)

19. I want to go to a real honest-to-God beach. Where the water is BLUE like you see in the movies.

20. I’m a little bit of a control freak (just a smidge, ok maybe more than a smidge)

21. I want to learn Italian and go back to Italy (mainly b/c of Eat, Pray, Love & b/c it is so awesome)

22. I pretty much starved myself for a year, amongst other things, because I was relentlessly tortured by both girls & boys in junior high. Now, I find it funny/ironic they want to befriend me on FB. (people suck)

23. One of the most profound things that was ever given to me was a speech from Theodore Roosevelt. My 8th grade English teacher wrote me a note and gave it to me. It meant more to me than she’ll ever know. Thanks Ms Atherton, wherever you are. (I need to find her)

24. If I could, I’d get my nails done every week. (it is so amazing. I LOVE it)

25. I NEVER wanted kids until September 15, 2004. That day changed my life forever. (this changes everyday, but I am the BEST auntie EVER)
