25 things about me.
This is a Facebook thing that's been going around, so I decided to post it to my LJ as well. :)
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)
1.) There are very, very, very few people I "hate." I can usually see the good in everybody. I like most people. In order for me to truly "hate" someone, they'd probably have to do something to hurt one of my loved ones.
2.) I think about sea creatures A LOT. Maybe I was supposed to be a Marine Biologist in another life.
3.) Since starting graduate school, there's something missing in my life. That something is READING FOR PLEASURE. It is absolutely killing my soul that I have to read boring articles all the time instead of actually reading good books!
4.) Speaking of books, I am a book snob. It is maybe the one thing I am a snob about. I despise "chick lit" and will think a little bit less of you if you actually enjoy it. My mom argues that there is a place for "chick lit," such as when you are on the beach. I think you can read a good book on the beach just as easily as you can read a crappy book.
5.) I don't really like talking on the telephone.
6.) I would MUCH RATHER be hot than cold. Cold weather is just super uncomfortable and unpleasant to me. I hate wearing winter clothes, too!
7.) Sometimes I think I'm in a music rut. I love music, but don't really know where to begin finding new stuff. Most of what I listen to is old music. That's why I love getting mix CDs from people!
8.) Eating out is one of my favorite activities, but it is probably the biggest problem I have with regard to spending too much money and gaining too much weight!
9.) I get into these "phases" where I only watch certain things on DVD. Sometimes, it is a TV show, like "Gilligan's Island" or "Lois & Clark." Sometimes it's Marilyn Monroe Movies. Currently, it is Elvis movies.
10.) I wish I had more time to do all of the artwork I want to do (and craft projects).
11.) My favorite flower is plain white daisies with yellow centers. I think they are the happiest flowers ever! I love having flowers in the house at all times (even though it is frivolous in these bad economic times).
12.) One of my favorite smells in the world is men's deodorant.
13.) I like to do things in a most efficient way. However, sometimes I waste a lot of time thinking about how best to be efficient.
14.) My favorite thing in the world to do is to give gifts. Especially homemade ones. I love to spoil my loved ones! I can't wait to have more time and money to do more of this.
15.) I believe when I am finally a teacher, my financial problems will be over.
16.) I have trouble planning long term things. I more of a "one day at a time" kinda girl.
17.) I still miss my dog Madison so much it hurts. She died in 2005.
18.) I want to take more dance classes as soon as I have time (ballet and tap). Although it is probably unrealistic for someone who's a 28-year-old beginner, I always wanted go en pointe. (I am a little girl who still wants to be a ballerina at heart!)
19.) I never had a video game until I got my Nintendo DS. I love it! I also love playing more "interactive" video games, like the Wii and Rock Band. I would like to get a Wii someday.
20.) I have the most amazing family in the world! My parents are incredible, and I love that my extended family is so close.
21.) I love eating pancakes for dinner.
22.) Finishing "logic" problems, sudokus, and crosswords make me feel smart!
23.) I never felt like I was missing out by being an only child. That's all thanks to my very closest, dearest friends and my cousins. :)
24.) I am a pack rat, and I hate throwing things away. However, the amount of clutter I have bothers me, too.
25.) I've tried to live my life in such a way that I don't have any regrets.
