The list keeps going...

17. My parents were hippies. They would never admit it but I've seen pictures. Hello flower children. Plus, my sister's name is Aubrey...after a song by "Bread" you MUST have been smoking something.

18. I think my parents have aged really well, I hope I do too.

19. When I was growing up my room was painted blue. In one corner I hand painted a big sun with a tree under it and in the other corner I hand painted a big moon with stars all along 2 borders. The other 2 borders were lined with lyrics to DMB songs. My parents actually thought it was really cool.

20. I hear songs I like on TV and in movies all the time. I google the lyrics and download the songs. That's how I get most of my good stuff :)

21. Even though I lived in Tallahassee and 21st birthdays were a HUGE deal, I came home to Jacksonville for mine. I can't remember why.

22. I got food poisoning once and lost 6 pounds in 14 hours. I looked like death.

23. I once read 6 books in a day.

24. My first choice for college was UVa but my parents said no because it was WAY too expensive out of state. I don't usually tell people that because I LOVED FSU and would have regretted not going there.

25. I'll try anything once. I'm not afraid of many things, accept snakes and rollercoasters.

26. I am neither a big city girl nor a country girl. I like both. I do prefer the beach to the mountains but I grew up visiting the mountains all the time so I love them too.

27. I wish I had been a ballerina but my mom wouldn't let me. She overheard my ballet teacher yelling at a 6 year old about her weight and never let me go back.

28. I'm 5 feet tall, my drivers license says 5'1" that would be the DMV's fault not mine.

29. I love Jacksonville but I don't need to move back here. It would be great but I'd like living somewhere else just as much.

30. When I get mad or stressed out I clean.

16 Things About Me

I got "tagged" on facebook to list 16 random things about myself. So I did. However, I kind of feel like the things I said were a little boring and a little safe. So I've decided to do 16 new things about myself on my blog. We'll see how different they end up being:

1. I think its sad when really attractive people have horrible personalities. For some reason this is always a huge disappointment to me and I dwell on it.

2. I love oysters and beets. Apparently lots of people hate both. I can eat beets straight out of a jar, pickled, not pickled, hot or cold I don't care I love them. Oysters are so good to me as well. I eat them on a cracker with hot sauce. I'm drooling.

3. I actually have to restrain myself from baking every single day. Mostly because I won't be able to eat everything I bake and even if I could all I would be eating would be sweets all day long. That would get old.

4. I really hate talking about money. It's a huge turn-off to me when people, especially guys I go out on a date with, talk about money. Unless you're extremely wealthy everyone has money issues so why bring it up?

5. I hate when people comment on the way I eat. I don't eat in a strange way or anything but I really hate it when people comment on it. In fact on a date once a guy commented about the way I ate and I never went out with him again. I'm not going to lie that was the moment that killed the date for me. The rest of the evening was great.

6. I really hate buffet style eating. I always think I can eat more then I can. In fact this is actually a goal of mine in life, to be better about how much food I serve myself. I'll always put like one more shrimp then I can eat on my plate or a tablespoon too much rice.

7. I really love soup. All kinds of soup.

8. I would love to be a stand up comedian or the lead singer in a band. These are both things I can seriously see myself doing in life. However, I have terrible stage fright. For some reason this does not apply to preaching.

9. I stopped drinking liquor about 5 years ago. The only thing I've had since then has been margaritas and even then I won't drink them if they're too strong. It took me a few years to realize I'm 5 feet tall and weigh 105lbs liquor isn't my game.

10. I physically cannot drink RedBull. It keeps me jazzed for 6 to 8 hours and makes me heart beat really fast. I'm scared of RedBull.

11. My sister, my dad and I were all born in the same hospital.

12. I google everything espeically people. I can seriously kill 2 hours reading stuff on the internet about Andy Worhall or the children of John Adams.

13. I think people think I'm weird but I have no clue why. I'm serious. I have always thought that about myself even in high school. Why am I weird? You're weird!

14. I really seriously like everyone I go to school with accept for one person. There is only one person at my entire school I don't like and I really don't talk about it very often. In fact I think only one other person knows who I don't like. I find the good in everyone here. Some people irritate me but honestly I've had good experiences with everyone but one person. I wonder if they know....

15. I have always wanted to send a secret into postsecret.com but honestly I have no idea what it would be. Every Sunday I read the new posts and think about what I would write but nothing ever comes to me.

16. I quit girlscouts when I was 7 because they wouldn't let my dad come on a trip with us. I seriously thought this was the dumbest thing ever.
