100 things about me.

100 things most people dont know about me....

1. I love school. As much as I say I hate it. :)

2. I love my job. I don't think i usually complain about it.

3. I love every movie genre. Except horror.

4. I love every music genre. Except rap.

5. I love high school so much, i want to teach high school English.

6. My senior year is definitely my favorite. I enjoy all of my classes.

7. I LOVE politics. I will argue with anyone (well...almost) about them.

8. I bought Glenn Beck's book: An Inconveient Book. I found it to be insightful and loved the fact that someone else has my thought process!

9. I would eat Chinese food everyday if I could...and if it wasnt so bad for me. :)

10. I love snow days.

11. I love rainy days.

12. I love cold days.

13. I hate getting up so early in the morning...but i feel better when i do.

14. I love sci-fi books. Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Great and Terrible Beauty, Twilight.

15. I hate the dark.

16. I love the night sky though.

17. I love storms when I'm home safe and not alone. and no tornados.

18. I love watching a political movie. (hence the obsessive love of political debates i could easily win by shouting my debate partner down with my intellectual verbiage to show that i am imperious)

19. Sometimes, im told i scare people because i love politics.

20. I've also been told its not healthy for a 17 year old to take such an intense and harsh opinion on the topics.

22. I went and got the book at midnight.

23. I love the show Gilmore Girls.

25. I love the show The Office.

26. I love reading for pleasure. I'll TRY to read just about anything.

27. I enjoy singing. People think that i dont like to sing. I know im not good, so i am actually saving you. :)

28. I love any kind of MILK chocolate.

29. I love watching old 80's shows/movies and The Office with Corrie and Andy.

30. I love finding old mixes of CD's i made in the 6th grade and making that priceless face of utter disgust. But then, i realize why i loved NSYNC and all those boy/girl bands.

31. I buy People magazine so often i should have a subscription.

32. I am very disappointed that the first time I get to vote, I will have to vote for the "least disappointing/worse candidate". I was hoping for someone with actual experience.

33. I may have quit dance, but i still dance :)

34. Corrie was willing to pay for her own jeans at my age. I would rather pay for a cheapie pair (Old Navy!) and buy some awesome stuff for the computer or ipod.

35. I dont care about being fashionable. All i care about is if the jeans/shirt fit alright. then throw a black jacket or a hoodie on. who are you trying to impress? *note: i do try to look nice for work.

46. I trying to grow my hair out for locks of love.

47. I've talked to my teachers about my low grade to see what i could do to bring it up and also because i thought my grade was too high. (overacheiver? suck-up?)

48. Sometimes I think im too honest.

49. When i spent a month in France, i dislocated my knee at the pool. i was taken away on a stretcher and into an ambulence with the lights and sirens. that was the only cool part.

50. I can feel the weather in that knee.

51. I really want to go to New Zealand... because of Lord of the Rings (and because my mom lived there :) )

65. I think i would walk in my neighborhood if there wasnt a chance i would get mauled by wild dogs.

66. Corrie and Andy walk up here. They have no idea what im talking about.

67. Im not imagining these dogs. Maybe i have a scent. a "come get me, i cant run fast" scent. hm.......

68. Could you tell i dont really like dogs? i've only liked 2 dogs. Ben (andrew and shelley's cute SMALL dog) and Dolly (Merrell's dog...i finally got used to her the week before they gave her up).

69. I've noticed than whenever i go to a church event and see my parent's friends i always get the "oh! you're so grown up! i've known you since you were yeh high" speech.

70. I love staying up late.

71. I love sleeping in late.

88. I still vividly remember the 3rd grade and calling dirt "soil" because that's the way i was taught at home.

89. I also remember that if Spencer and I found little silver worms in the garden and we killed them, we got a quarter. Then it was a dime. Then we didnt get anything. Therefore, we dont garden.

90. I wouldnt pay my kids to kill worms. Moles maybe.

91. I love watching 90's reruns of Saved by the Bell, Boy Meets World, Family Matters (Urkel!), and Full House.

92. I can play the whole Lord of the Rings theme/Lotr:Return of the King melody on the piano (11 mins!).

94. I hate going into the basement late at night.

What a list! Thanks for sharing.

I'm curious... Based on #7, 19, 20, and 32 who do you think is the "least disappointing/worse candidate"?

I have my own opinions, and have finally decided who to vote for on Mar 4 in the Primary, but am not sure I will vote that way in Nov. I'd be interested in your viewpoint...

Ben said...

Yay! Thanks for doing this! It was so fun to read, and I learned a lot about you, my friend!

Corrie- said...

Crap you tagged me. Now I have to do this. I was totally laughing all the way through your list and thought that mine would be pretty similar to yours except for the Harry Potter stuff. I'm done with all of that, too scary.

Hey, I TRIED to pay for my own guess jeans but Mom thought it was ridiculous to spend that kind of money. I vividly remember crying in our parent's bedroom on Elkwood and both of them laughing. I'm still bitter I guess.

GREAT LIST!

"5. I love high school so much, i want to teach high school English."

Who could have imagined that Emma Bowers and Ryan DeGraw would want to do the same thing for a living? Not I.

i've been checking out family sites and i got to yours through corries. i love that you could think of 100 things about yourself. if you don't mind i might take up the challenge and see if i can think of that may things about myself to share with the virtual world.
love you and miss you in an eternal family sort of way.
