25 THINGS

Ok - so since everyone else seems to be postig this on their blog here are 25 random things that you probably didnt know about me...

1. My favorite food in the entire world is pineapple. I crave Banana Joe's soft serve pineapple ice cream ALL THE DAY LONG. Unfortunately i do not live in Hawaii...its like an itch you cant scratch guys. I LOVE IT! IT IS SO YUMMY!

2. My Hair - I HATE IT! It decided to miss the first five years of my life, hence the reason my family called me Yoda. When it did come in it was a wavy, straw-like, rats nest. AND IT WAS BLONDE! EXCUSE ME - Belle has brown hair; as do my American Girl Doll Samantha, Princess Leia, and Kimbery the Pink Ranger. My sister at least got gorgeous red hair like Madeline and The Litttle Mermaid. I JUST WANT THICK, DARK, LONG, BEAUTIFUL HAIR! HAHAHA - now that i have that off my chest....

3. I am openly upset about the fact that i have not earned a tiara - I WAS A JUNIOR MISS! FOR THE LOVE!!! I got a medallion - it does NOT shine and it has NO diamonds. LAME! I was Queen of the Snowflake Winter Wonderland Formal Senior Year and what did i get? A GIFT CERTIFICATE TO La Cabana! Miss Shutes is CHEAP! Thats what happens when you go to a single A school i guess : D

4. I WILL stuff my clarinet case full of clothes and run away to New York, where i will live in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, sleep in Queen Victoria's bed, and bath in the foutain of youth - JUST LIKE CLAUDIA KINCAID in From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.

5. Come to think of it - everything I want to do in life comes from my books - play Quidditch for Gryffindor in the House Cup at Hogwarts, jig down the yellow brick road to Oz, Have magical powers that move things with my eyes like Matilda, dance with Mr. Darcy....

6. I LOVE America's Next Top Model. It is my guilty pleasure. If i were a foot taller and quite a bit ligher i would TOTALLY BE ON THAT SHOW! I want so bad to strut my stuff on the runway! Im so sassy. I even was solicited by Matt Lauer and the Today Show to model Swim Suits on national TV! TRUE STORY! I was also on the cover of a magazine - THATS RIGHT PEOPLE! And Good News: Cyle 13 of ANTM is feature girls ONLY UNDER 5'7! I AM SO EXCITED!

7. My dorm room and everything about it is very....Elle Woods. Its fluffy and pink, but my favorite color is actaully green. My bedspread and sheets was a mistake, they sent us the wrong color, and i just went with it....everything had to match!

8. I LOVE to chew gum as loud as i possibly can and to pop my gum all the day long. This bugs the crap out of my family. All the more reason to love doing it!

9. I am super competitive. Dont let my sweetheart vibe and big blue eyes fool you. I can get down right nasty. I HATE TO LOSE! My roommates make fun of me because i get this determined little fire in my eyes when we play games and end up wacking people with Ensigns....truth. Not a good idea to play Jeopardy in Sunday School when i am there. The spirit will leave. Dont mess with me. I also tend to sometimes find creative and sneaky ways to cheat, which in my opinion, is just a better way to win the game. I feel sorry for those who were not smart enough to figure it out. HAHAHA!

10. I LOVE A GOOD ARGUE - You know, the debating kind - not fighting. My mother is the same way. i cannot tell you how fun this is. We get along so well. SHE MISSES ME YOU KNOW SHE DOES! : D I placed at state in Public Speaking for FBLA in HS. I should have been a lawyer...

11. Dont freak out - i am not anywhere near ready to be a mom, but i secretly want a little baby girl to dress up and play with and carry around. Would that not be SO CUTE???? I would love it. Thats why i live by my aunts.....they have babies. And they feed me, but that is a different story.

12. I was born with Turners Sundrome - a chromatic abnormality whose most common characteristic is short staure, hence the fact that i am 4 feet 11. I also gave myself shots everyday for six years...which is why i am not afraid of needles or blood.

13. I have a good memory, but it is honestly useless. I remember the dumbest, most random things. I know every word to every song and can quote a whole movie after watching it once. HOWEVER, ask me about algebra formulas for what i had for dinner last monday and i will have no idea.

14. Yes. I own the entire series of Gilmore Girls. In my opinion, which for the purpose of this post is the only one that matters : D, it is the sharpest, most witty and smart TV show ever written. I LOVE IT and i quote it all the time, only nobody ever knows what the heck i am talking about.

15. I wanted to be Nancy Kerrigen and figure skate in the olympics when i was younger. I also wanted to be Dominique Moceanu and be a gymnast in the Olympics. Mostly i just wanted to wear a cute sparkly outfit, look pretty, and GO FOR THE GOLD

16. I HATE SPIDERS!!!!! I am not scared of them. I just hate them. and i kill them dead.

17. I HATE WINTER!!!! I AM ALWAYS SO COLD! It makes my joints hurt! I think the snow is gorgeous and i lOVE to ski, but i HATE THE COLD!!!!

18. Yes, i own a quilt made out of the Minky Dot Baby Blanket Fabric. My grandma made it for me for gradutaion because i asked her for it and you know what? I LOVE IT! It is the softest, most comfy and amazing blankie EVER! Jealous of Katelyn and the AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAM BLANKET? As well you should be.

19. Dont you worry - At my house in WA I do own a black leotard from my glory days of Dance Team and Jr. Miss. I WILL look good enough in it one of these days to make a Single Ladies Beyonce music video with Linds. Thats right. I'm an animal. LOOK FORWARD TO THAT!

20. Despite the oft complaint - I <3>
