25 Random Things About Me.

This was a little facebook time-kill activity, but I thought why not add it to the blog as well? We'll put McKay's list up here when he gets around to his...

1. When I was a kid I only wore converse. I had them in many colors, and my favorite pair were yellow.
2. I prefer salty to sweet. I would take french fries over a piece of cake any day.
3. I just can't stand Oprah.
4. Some of my favorite memories are of me riding in the passenger's seat of my dad's truck in the summertime, listening to AM radio and eating sunflower seeds. Going nowhere in particular, just running errands and hanging out.
5. I do not like to sing in front of people. Unless it's karaoke, and then I am all over that.
6. I have only kept one plant alive in my entire lifetime. It was from Ikea, and I paid 1.99 for it. I'm proud to say that my plant continues to flourish.
7. I'm 26 but I look about 18. I'm starting to enjoy the fact that I look much younger than I am.
8. My husband is my very best friend. We laugh at least 1000 times a day.
9. I'm on the lookout for a vintage pink beach cruiser with a basket. I'm pretty sure that would complete my life.
10. I want to travel EVERYWHERE. There really isn't one place that I wouldn't want to see and learn from.
11. I feel so lucky to have the summer that I had this past year. It has changed me for the better and I know it is a time in my life I will never forget.
12. I have really bad circulation in my hands and feet and can literally suck the heat out of those that I cling to for warmth. It's pretty much a superpower.
13. It really bugs me when people pronounce Nevada "Nuh Vah Duh" instead of "Ne VAD Uh" .
14. I love baseball and really miss going to Giants games in San Fran. I'm stuck with American League up here.
15. I have green eyes. That's kinda rare, right?
16. I'm obsessed with Target. When I lived in Montana this summer I would go to Target when I felt homesick and it made me feel better because the smell was familiar and I knew where everything was. Sad. I know.
17. I purchased the Ronco knives from an infomercial. Big surprise, they suck.
18. I am a total nerd for Star Wars. I love it.
19. I get very angry when I have to sit in traffic. I wish I didn't, but I do.
20. I tell people I'm 5'5" but really I'm 5'4". There, I said it.
21. I wish that I lived in the 40's and could go dancing with my guy and wear red nail polish and cute dresses all the time.
22. If I was stuck on a deserted island and could take only one album with me, it would have to be John Mayer's Contiuum. Or maybe Where the Light Is. Either way, John Mayer, for sure.
23. I am really excited that I have tickets to see Wicked in March. I keep them on my refrigerator, and every time I see them I get excited all over again.
24. It's a Wonderful Life is my all time favorite movie, and I will love Jimmy Stuart until forever.
25. I'm feisty.
