These Are the Facts of My Life

Here are 20 random facts about me. They aren't in any particular order, just how I thought of them.
Me sportin' my new hair cut. :)

1. I like to get second opinions on almost anything because I want to make sure what I chose or do is right.

2. My heart broke after my dog died.

3. I was overweight in Jr High, lost the weight and was adorably skinny in High School, gained it back and have come to accept myself for how I am. However, I wish I were healthier and skinner would help that...

4. I love to read books and read as many pages as I can in a year.

5. I love watching movies and quoting them with my friends and family.

6. My dad got me interested in History so now that's my major with no definite plans on what to do with it.

7. Sometimes I wish I lived in Oregon.

8. If I could be anything, I'd be a pirate. (A gentlewoman pirate of course.)

9. I can't stay mad at people very long. It's just not possible.

10. I like jokes, especially bad ones!

11. You can never have enough high heels. I even keep mine in their shoe boxes to keep them nicer.

12. My inner self wishes I were very organized and always clean. Instead I'm halfway there which makes my room an organized mess.

13. I have a goal of traveling all over Europe, but especially England!

14. Sometimes I think I should have lived anywhere from Victorian times to the 18th century.

15. I love art! I love to color with crayons in coloring books, drawing with charcoal, and I would love to try painting.

16. I have horrible allergies. Half the time when you ask me if I can smell something, I can only faintly tell that it smells like anything.

17. I like German food; especially brautwurst, sauerkraut, and spatzle.  

18. I like being a Mormon! Living the gospel brings a lot of satisfaction in life. :)

19. I practically own enough furniture to furnish my own apartment if I ever move out.

20. Music is definitely something I love being a part of. Nothing brings me better joy than playing in my community orchestra in the violin seciton and getting family members and friends to come and enjoy the music too!


♫ For any interested takers, my orchestra concert is coming up next month. Let me know, and I'll tell you about it! ♫

Rushing!

Sorority Life . Not what I thought, at least for Lamba Delta Sigma . To begin with, I didn't know what a sorority was until the day I joined. I thought it was full of prissy girls who go shopping, gossip, and wear pink all the time (kind of a Legally Blonde persona, see picture). But my friend Nadia didn't want to join alone so she dragged me along and convinced me to do it too. By the time I left the first day, I could see my presumptions were wrong. It wasn't full of silly blondes in pink skirts and high heels at all, instead they were all young women like me. This was great news because now I can tell blonde jokes without having to explain them fifty times! Since I'm not taking classes this fall I decided I needed a change in things to make sure I keep active, especially after not doing too much this summer when it came to friends. Not that it was that bad being a homebody. Watching my sisters turn their pretty faces into gruesome troll expressions is quite ...

Believe that the Earth turns Slowly

[Photo taken by me at Aphosian Gardens 2008] Life is moving really fast for me now. I can't believe how many things will happen within the next two weeks, most of which I'm not entirely prepared for. First of all, my  birthday in a couple days. I'm young yet, early twenties but am I the only one who finds it weird when they become a year older? I don't feel much different than I did last year, and with everything going on it doesn't feel like my birthday. Normally I start counting down at the beginning of December because I just add 2 weeks onto the countdown to Christmas. This year, at the beginning of the week I had to count to make sure my birthday was actually this weekend. I'm just too preoccupied to think about it much. I also have school starting next Monday, and I'm going part time, but I'm working part time at crazy hours running back and forth from school and work, and my best friend gets married right after it starts. At least her wedding isn...

Bibliophile - Book Lover - That's me!

I absolutely love to read. My whole family is a bunch of readers and every one of us has our own collection of books. (Mine covers my ledge stretching along my 9 foot wall... and I ran out of room for them.) When I was younger (maybe 10) I found out my Grandma Walker kept track of every book she read in a journal and wrote it down, so I began my own book journal. So since 1997-ish I've written down each book's title, author, summary, date finished, how much I like it, and number of pages. I like to keep track of how many pages I've read in a year and the most I've ever gotten was just over 11,000 pages. This year I'm up to about 7,000 which is normal for me at this point. Seeing how I'm obsessed with books I thought I'd mention some of my favorites and favorite authors if you're ever looking for something to read since I have a few people who ask me for reading suggestions as it is. My new found favorite author is Brandon Sanderson. If you haven't he...
