I'm part of the embodiment community, and someone posted a entry of 30 writing posts in 30 days, and each of them seemed pretty interesting, so I wanted to see if I could make it through all 30 days.

Day 01- A recent picture of yourself and 15 interesting facts.




Ok, to technically this isn't just a photo of me, but it is recent (and I love it.)

15 Interesting Facts

1. I love jail shows ... Lockup and those types of shows I'll fall asleep to. I guess it helps me remember that though life isn't always easy, it could be much worse.
2.When I was growing up I wanted to be a farmer that had a farm on the outskirts of NYC to be able to give city kids the ability to see farm life, since they normally wouldn't be able to due to their urban living.
3. I only have had one detention in my life - and it was for a History assignment I didn't complete my Freshman year of High School. I was supposed to have detention for an hour, but I completed the assignment in 15 minutes and was able to leave. Looking back, while one detention isn't so horrible, I should've just done the assignment and kept my record clean.
4. I was the president of my High School's National Honor Society.
5. My best friend and I battled it out for Salutatorian, and she beat me out by 2 tenths of a point, and it boiled down to a test that I helped her study for. 
6. My favorite days are those that I don't have anything to do and I can sit at home (or Steve's house) and watch movies and not feel guilty. I love being able to bond with him (or my friends) without having to DO something.
7. I always thought it'd be cool to be in the military, but I don't think I'm tough enough to do so.
8. I'm completely certain that I could go on, and do well, on Survivor.
9. When I was about 8 or 9, I got attacked by a dog that almost took out my eye. On my nose, you can see a small scar where I needed to get stitches. The doctor that saw me that night told me that had the dog come up another inch, my left eye probably would not have been able to be saved.
10. The first movie I ever saw in theaters was Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, and I saw it while on vacation in Hampton Beach, NH. I don't remember seeing the movie, but I do remember calling my grandmother and telling her I had seen it while walking back down the boardwalk.
11. One of my favorite memories of vacation was when my family and I were stuck at Little Jacks in Hampton Beach and the trolley and the bus weren't coming back ... we didn't know why, we just knew we'd been there for over an hour and they weren't coming. We ended up walking back to our cottage, and it was over a mile walk, but it was one of the best bonding times we've had.
12. I truly believe that people underestimate me, and I think I allow them to. It's okay with me that people think I can't do as much as I know I can, because when I show them what I'm capable of, I like to see the look on their face when I show them that they were wrong.
13. I worry way too much for my own good.
14. Since becoming engaged and planning my wedding, I've become more emotional than I knew I was capable of being. And I've worried more about place settings, color schemes, etc, more than I think I've ever known were needed.
15. While I really dislike dressing up (the act of it) I generally enjoy being 'girly' when I take the time to do so. It makes me feel more confident.
