TEN random things about me:
1. Green olives are my vice.
2. My dad is my best friend.
3. I'm the WORST at keeping in touch....even with the best of friends.
4. I collected New Kids on the Block trading cards and owned one of the HUGE buttons with them on (wanted to marry Donny Wahlberg)
5. I've never smoked pot....ever.
6. I had a PHOBIA of throwing up that pretty much consumed 5 years of my life (yes thanks to you Cassie and the jager bakery experience!).
7. I"m an emotional disaster.
8. I maintain only a few friends....lots of acquaintances...as previously mentioned..I"m terrible at keeping in tough which in turn kind of pushes people away I think.
9. The first guy I was "with" was my "first love"....just found out that he just had a baby with his wife....very strange for some reason....ahhh Pete..those were the days (right Lori!)
10. Not many people really know me....I put up an enormous front.
NINE ways to win my heart:
1. Be HONEST (I second that Cass).
2. Be very opionated....you don't have to agree with me..in fact if you don't and you stick to your guns it's probably a big plus...
3. Be open-minded
4. Be athletic -- you've gotta play with me..i get stir-crazy!
5. Be able to communicate emotions (many of you who know my current situation will find this quite ironic)
6. Have reasons behind your actions....don't do it because everyone else does.
7. Appreciate me in my sweats and a t-shirt...
8. Have your own interests.
9. Don't be afraid of a challenge...because I am one. (Sisters ARE alike...I agree with you Cassie)
EIGHT things I want to do before I die:
1. Go home with Daniel.
2. Go skydiving (we could do this together cass).
3. Run/bike/swim a triathalon.
4. Move out of the midwest...Oregon or Washington preferably...Rachel and Lori here I come!
5. Have a baby boy....i'd take a girl I guess but a boy would be best :)
6. Be happy with myself, at least marginally. (perhaps this is a family trait? i agree)
7. Own a house.
8. Make sure that the people closest to me know how important they really are.
SEVEN bands I love right now: (this is hard for me...i listen to pieces of everything....not really fanatic about anything)
1. Matt Wertz (not a band...but oh well)
2. Led Zepplin (thanks to Pete)
3. Tim McGraw (again not a band...but a fav. none the less)
4. Heather Headley (bla bla bla,, not a band)
5. New Kids on the Block (come on...i still have all of their songs imbedded in my brain from when I was 10..there must be love there somewhere)
6. The Doors (yep...love em love em love em..probably my #1 fav.)
7. The Murmurs
SIX things that get me mad (or annoyed/paranoid/frustrated):
1. George W.....enough said...DON'T get me started on this F*c*o
2. Stupid people
3. People who drive the speed limit in the left lane...don't they know that the left lane is specifically designed for those of us who enjoy going 90 mph so that we DON'T run over the law-abiding citizens.
4. The fact that every car owner in this country has to grab his or her ankles and say "Thank you sir may I have another" (Animal House ref.) when the oil companies jack up gas prices as high as they want...
5. That annoying phenomenon that occurs when you pour water out of a cup and it slides down the edge going everywhere but where you wanted it to go......very similar as to when a girl tries to pee standing up.....gravity, physics, whatever just doens't let it happen
6. People who smoke with their kids in the car........ESPECIALLY those idiots that leave the windows up..that should be considered child abuse..makes me FURIOUS!
FIVE things I'm afraid of:
1. Betrayal (yes....)
2. Losing anyone I love
3. Bugs (all kinds, colors, sizes and flavor)
4. Internal injuries.....I'm always afraid that I won't acknowledge the symptoms until it's too late
5. Zombies ( I agree they are very scary...why do I have such a phobia of zombies?? Perhaps because you, Cassandra< tormented your poor little sister with the Thriller video....I was only 3 or 4 and was forced to run into the kitchen and hide under the towels hanging off of the stove.
FOUR of my favorite places to be:
1. On my grandma's couch.
2. Doing anything, anywhere with Daniel. (cliche I know, but with our limited time together the past few months it's the truth..I'll take whatever I can get)
3. Chicago (more specifically at a Cubs game drinking beer and eating cotton candy followed by a late night walking around downtown)
4. Out anywhere, doing anything with Alison....I miss her.
THREE things I believe in:
1. Love...."true" love or "the one" -- not so much...but love..certainly...I believe that there are many of "the one" out there for each of us....just have to find one of em.
2. Karma ( I agree....we reap what we sow)
3. Making mistakes...building regrets..the best way to learn.
TWO things I need to do right now:
1. Leave and get to the clinic for a meeting.
2. Catch up on my sleep.
ONE person I want to see right now:
My Dad (I agree....we absolutely have the best dad in the entire world...the best man I know and the man that has single-handedly ruined any chance that any man i will ever meet will appear to be sensitive....my daddy's a mushball!
