Since all my blog posts have been on the serious side, I decided to post a more fun one for everyone's enjoyment. You're probably going to judge me and/or laugh at me about some of the things I'm going to share, but hey, I'm okay with that. I laugh at myself a lot too. It's good for the soul.
Here it goes people... 20 fun/weird/quirky facts about me:
1. I hate getting in my bed if I haven't showered. I just do not like going to bed feeling dirty. I had friends in college (won't mention names) that had no problem going to bed without showering, and I'm slightly disgusted by them... just kidding. But really, a clean body in clean sheets just feels right.
2. I'm a very sentimental person, and I love giving and receiving handwritten letters and notes from people I care about. Chances are if you've given me a sweet note, letter, or card over the years I still have it. I have a box that I put these in, and I will occasionally, if feeling nostalgic, read through them and be reminded of the many amazing people in my life. I'm one blessed woman!
3. My feet are always freezing. Like literally, freezing. Doesn't matter what season or what temperature. They are ALWAYS cold. I went to the doctor to see if there was an issue, but he assured me that I'm good. So I'm basically just stuck with freezing cold feet for the rest of my life.
4. The minute I get home, I throw on a t-shirt and some sweats or whatever is the most comfy. Let's be real. Nobody enjoys sitting around in jeans or fancy clothes if they could be in comfy clothes. I'm all about comfy.
5. I love writing in my journals. It's my way to process thoughts and express them in a more intimate way. I have kept a journal since I was in high school, and it's something I plan on continuing to do throughout my life. Sometimes I write prayers and things God is teaching and revealing to me. Sometimes I write daily happenings, frustrations, and feelings. Sometimes I write letters to myself or to my future special someone. It looks different on different days, but it's special. I also really love going back through old journals and reading through them. It's a great reminder of how far I've come (by the grace of God) and how He has been with me through every season, my one constant.
6. I once made a basket for the other team during my middle school basketball game. We ended up winning by like 16 points, and my coach told me in our team meeting that I was the star player for the other team. Super embarassing and super funny!
7. I don't like seafood, eggs, or milk. I'll eat food with milk and eggs in it, but I can't stand either one of those things by itself. Seafood I just ignore all together.
8. When I took my driving test to get my license, I sat on a cushion so I could see the front of the car. I'm pretty sure the guy that was with me in the car didn't even notice. Also, I could have failed my test because I made a sharp left turn from the wrong lane through a stop light. I'm pretty sure the guy didn't mark any points off because he was the one who forgot to tell me to turn until I was halfway through the light. Talk about panic attack! Haha.
9. I have a skin tag on my right eyelid. I've been asked about it my entire life, some people ask about it in nicer ways than others. A lot of people ask me why I don't go get it removed. The truth is I tried to get it burned off when I was younger, but it didn't work. As I've gotten older, I don't even realize it's there much anymore except when I put eyeshadow on. I've learned to embrace it, accept it, and love it because it makes me ME! So if you ask me why I don't go get it removed, I'll kindly say that God made me this way and He says I'm beautiful. And that's all the assurance I need to keep from getting it removed.
10. I have a weird love for reading books. I love learning and growing and soaking in knowledge. I love gaining wisdom from others and hearing different perspectives. I just love it! So if you're reading this and you ever are struggling to buy me a gift for a holiday or birthday or graduation... you can never go wrong with a good book or a giftcard to a bookstore. (and yes, that was a shameless plug)
11. I am still best friends with my childhood best friend. I met her the very first day of preschool when I walked up to her and asked her to be my friend. We've been best buds ever since. I love that I have a lifelong friend in her. What a cool thing to be able to say when we are 100 years old that we have been friends for 95 years and talk about all the wonderful memories we've made. Amazing!
12. I wear a night guard to sleep because I clench my jaw and grind my teeth horribly. My jaw pops a lot, especially when I'm eating certain foods. So if we're ever eating together and I'm annoying you with my popping jaw, please accept my apology in advance and thanks for extending grace. I can't control it!
13. I've been to 26 states and to Canada. I want to visit all 50 states and several countries throughout the world. I love traveling, and if I didn't have to work I would travel the world constantly!
14. When I laugh, I sometimes do this weird thing with my tongue. I really don't notice it, but I've had many people comment on it and/or make fun of me for it. One time in elementary school, one of my really funny friends was sitting next to me in Music class and cracked a joke. I couldn't help but giggle, and my teacher teased me about my laugh. I'm still scarred to this day by her comments... clearly, since I'm bringing it up after all these years ;)
15. One of my favorite treats is Haagen Daaz coffee ice cream. Don't ask me how I ever even stumbled across this amazing gem because I really couldn't tell you. It's just been a favorite of mine for as long as I can remember. It's my go-to.
16. I feel like I am some sort of weird mix between introvert and extrovert. I have tendencies of both. I really love being surrounded by people and interacting with them. It brings me great joy, and I feel excited about life after spending time with them. At the same time, I also really enjoy sitting and being. Sometimes I just need those minutes, hours, or days to take a break from people, be by myself, and get recharged. I've got the best of both worlds (Thanks, Miley).
17. I have a scar on my knee from falling off my bike when I was in elementary school. How did I fall off my bike, you ask? Well, I was simply pretending that N'Sync was watching me do tricks. I worked a little too hard to try to impress them and pretty much crashed and burned. Pretty comical actually.
18. Both sets of my grandparents have been married for over 65 years. They have modeled what love for a lifetime should look like, and I am blessed to have two great examples of that kind of love for when I meet my lucky someone.
19. I've never been pulled over or gotten a ticket before (crossing my fingers and knocking on wood). The only ticket I got was a parking ticket at Evangel, which was bogus and undeserved to begin with so I don't include that one.
20. I was supposed to be a twin when I was born, but my mom had a miscarriage with my twin. I am so grateful to have life and that I have the opportunity to live life to the fullest. Each day is a gift, and I plan on living my life in such a way as to make each day count and more importantly, to make an impact on the Kingdom of God.
That's all for right now. If you read all of these, thanks for being a trooper. To my friends: I hope we can still be friends after you found out all this new information about me. On the other hand, if you're reading this and thinking I'm even cooler than you thought, we probably need to hang out more!
