I've been putting this off because I want to think of a bunch of really creative stuff, but I might as well just start. Oh, and follow the rules: if you got tagged, you're supposed to write one of these because I want to get to know you better.
1. I love penguins. If you get me anything with penguins on it, I will probably love it. I want to see Madagascar 2 just for the penguins.
2. I wish I had a little turtle. Little turtles are so cute. I don't want to feed him bugs though- eew. I wonder what they eat.
3. I've lived in WA for 10 1/2 years and UT for 9.
4. I've left binkies in two famous places; the Hawaii LDS Temple and Arlington National Cemetery.
5. I've never been out of the country. I want to tour Europe and see all the cool stuff, but I think I'll do that when I'm older and richer, and go to the Philippines first. That or my honeymoon, whichever comes first. (Haven't decided on a location for that yet.)
6. My favorite sentence to learn in different languages is "stop poking me or I'll beat you with a stick." I can say it in English, German, and ASL. I can also insult you in Japanese. Ask me and I'll give you a demonstration. I wish I was bilingual, but the most I can do is learn different phrases. I know phrases/words in English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Tagalog, and some more that I've forgotten.
7. I once wrote a children's book as an assignment for my Adv. Human Anatomy and Physiology class in high school about a sandwich scout who goes on a camping trip with his troop and they tell scary stories, one of which is about another sandwich scout who gets eaten and his adventures through the digestive system. It's quite clever, if I do say so myself.
8. I used to practice my flute for an hour and a half to two hours a day. I took lessons for 3 years and was fantastic- you lose it when you don't practice faithfully. :(
9. I transposed a part for alto flute in high school- the only instrument in G. It sounded so much cooler on that.
10. When I was little I rooted for the U.
11. I think it would be great to have a motor scooter/motorbike thingy. I don't need a car, but it would be great to be able to go places without begging people for rides or using the bus. Plus, they're cheaper and more economical.
12. I can't stand not having a piano. A piano is essential in a home. This is why I brought mine down to my apartment! I'm not telling what kind it is though, because Eric hasn't seen it yet.
13. When I get crazy, random, or awesome ideas, I sometimes go a little overboard when carrying them out, but I love it. If you want to see an example of this, look at the first set of pictures in my "Random Stuff" album.
14. I can't stand it when people use bad grammar and spelling and don't write their Facebook statuses in third person.
15. Another huge pet peeve of mine is when people leave messes. I can't stand messes. Just take an extra 30 seconds to wash your dish or hang up your clothes. Clean/organized= less stress.
16. I love strawberries and raspberries dipped in chocolate, and little snack foods like goldfish, chex mix, chips and salsa, s'mores, the gooey kind of caramel corn, the little strawberry-shaped fruit snack things I had in kindergarten 14 years ago... whoa...
17. I love taking pictures of myself. I can find all the great angles, but it's harder to capture them than you might think.
18. I love real dancing- not that jumping up and down stuff. Waltz, swing, cha-cha, fox-trot, etc.
19. I love it when guys can lead (dancing), and guys who can sing well are simply amazing.
20. I like it when guys are taller than me. If anybody wants one or two of my inches and will pay for the surgery to get them from me, they can have them. I've already decided where you can take the inches from. I wish I could wear high heels more often- I love them.
21. I am really good at making plans and coming up with all sorts of ideas for things. Depending on the subject or difficulty, following through sometimes doesn't happen.
22. I love having curly hair, except I can't do it very well and it takes a long time. I wish I had a crimper- that would be cute.
23. I love people playing with my hair.
24. I want to grow my hair out for two years to see how long I can get it and then donate it to Locks of Love.
25. I already have most of my wedding planned, and I'm not engaged or anything.
26. I like to be different, but in a fun/good way.
27. I'm from Utah and I've never been skiing. Weird, I know.
28. I'm initially shy in a crowd or with people I don't know (or know well), but I'm a really friendly person. Sometimes if I'm with really good friends, I can get rediculously crazy/funny/etc. I love it.
29. I own the extended versions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. You're not a real fan if you haven't read the books or seen the extended versions, and can correct the mistakes Peter Jackson and the other people put in the movies. Some of them are so obviously wrong. If you want, I'll list examples. I can also quote like the first 10 minutes of The Fellowship of the Ring.
30. I have what some might call "manly" skills. I can take sinks apart, fix the insides of toilet tanks, help finish an unfinished basement, light the pilot light, caulk bathtubs, take computers apart and install things, and do other random stuff. I'm good with my hands, but my hand-eye coordination is not so good, which is why I'm bad at sports.
31. I like making yummy food and having people over for dinner. Two of my roommates are never here on Thursday nights when I make dinner, so I usually invite people over. Let me know if you want in sometime.
32. I love babies. They're so cute and fun to hold. I want to go volunteer at a nursery just to sit there and hold them or feed them or whatever.
33. I can make octopus faces.
34. I can eat Rice-A-Roni very seductively. Robin knows this.
35. 10pm is NOT late at night. Neither is 11pm, though that's when I start realizing that it's getting late. I don't need to state the fact that I'm not a morning person.
36. Calvin & Hobbes is awesome. Bill Watterson had some great ideas.
37. I love dressing up for stuff- formal dances, wearing dress pants and fancy stuff- it's fun. I kinda want an officy job just so I can wear professional/classy/dressy stuff all the time.
38. If you gave me lots of money, I'd want to spend it on clothes and shoes, but if I exercised self-discipline, I'd put it in savings for my wedding, car/motorbike thingy, piano, and whatever else was on my list.
39. I was born with a broken collarbone but have never broken a bone, had stitches, major surgery, or anything like that. When I had my wisdom teeth out it didn't hurt and I wasn't a chipmunk. Haha.
40. I love the way my mom decorated our house. I like to decorate things and make them look nice, and I have ideas for my future house already, and some are based off elements in my family's house.
41. I am addicted to LOST, House, and the Office. I love intense/intriguing and funny shows.
42. Ever since I watched/read tHHGttG (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), the number "42" has been really noticeable. Zach is my best friend and 42 is his favorite number, and ever since he left on his mission, it has been everywhere. No joke. It's so weird- it shows up in the oddest situations, random conversations, things I overhear, signs and advertisements, etc. But I suppose it's fitting- after all, it is the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything (according to the Guide). Hence this particular list not going simply to 25.
