25 things you always wish you knew...

1. I'm a person of routine. I eat the same foods at restaurants, wear the same outfits, do my makeup the same way everyday, everything.

2. When I can't fall asleep at night, no matter how late it is and how tired I am, if I'm hungry I get up, and eat. Usually a bowl of cereal, after its so much easier to fall asleep.

3. For some reason when I start watching a TV show I feel obligated to watch the entire episode, even though I have complete control over the remote. Sometimes if its already like 2:15 I wont even turn on the TV because I feel like I've missed part of a show and will still have a finish it, even though id be thoroughly confused.

4. I drink diet coke everyday. Usually more than one. Some people call it addiction, I just call it a guilty pleasure.5. I hate feet. Most people know of the phobia, and other find out quickly. I dont care how clean or covered your feet are, they arent beautiful, they arent pretty and they definitly do not belong close to me. Some people think I'll have a problem when I get married, but I dont. I find when you love someone you deal with stuff that you normally wouldnt. for me, its going to be feet.

6. I watch football any chance i get. I love the NFL though. I really dont care if other people like college better, because no matter what your argument is, i can refute it. i like talking with people about football but a lot of people dont like me talking to them about it. i have no idea why.7. Along with that I yell when i watch it. my roommates and family can attest to that. I dont call it yelling though, i just offer my advice.

8. i hate being in snow. i like looking at it, and it used to be fun playing in when i was younger, but Idaho has ruined my opinion of anything about winter.
9. im biased when it comes to North Carolina. I dont believe it when people say other states are better. the beaches there are my favorite place in the world.
10. I like frozen yogurt better than icecream. and waffle cones better than waffle bowls.

11. i get scared easily. anyone, anywhere, at anytime can make me jump no matter what. ive figured out that its because im usually in my own little world and i think that everything stays the same so when someone is sitting on the couch when i walk in the door and suddenly 5 minutes later they appear in kitchen, i get freaked out.

12. ive heard that im intimidating from some and the least intimidating person in the world from others. i dont really know who to believe, but im pretty sure probably both is true. usually girls find me intimidating. or maybe they just dont like me

13. i consider going to the grocery store to get icecream and a movie a great friday night activity

14. i care more about having close group of small friends than having a big group of acquaintances. I've been fortunate to have the former and owe most of myself to them.15. i change outfits atleast once a day. i like to be comfortable and if im not, i change. simple as that.

16. I'm only semi-excited to graduate in April. Everyone thinks that i should be so happy but the thing is, I love college. I love classes and getting things done. I love staying up to crazy hours of the morning and getting up for a 7:30 AM class. I love living with my best friends. I love most everything about it, so no, I am not super excited for graduation to leave all this. But I am excited to begin another phase of my life and see what the future holds for me, however uncertain it is right now.
17. I hate ceran wrap. It sticks to itself and not to what its supposed to. EVER. its very frustrating and i avoid it like the plague.

18. I didn't find out that the faucets in the bathrooms on the 2nd floor of the library are opposite directions of what regular hot and cold should be until my very last semester here at school. It kind of makes me feel a little unsanitary now.

19. I write extremely long emails. You can ask Marco, he can attest to that. He likes them though, so who really cares. :)20. I'm not a morning person, not in the least. I listen to music, get ready, and by the time i have walked 15 minutes in the ice cold of Rexburg to class, I have woken up. THEN you can talk to me.

21. along with that, I hate when people call me grumpy or say that I'm mad when I'm really not. i just want to be that way to spite them after they say that, and thats not very nice. Same thing when people tell me to calm down, or take a chill pill. nooo thankyou.

22. I take a lot of pictures. Not that they are particularly good photos, but they capture my world and I love that.

23. I don't mind making roadtrips alone, I actually find it relaxing and it helps me to think about things that I have been avoiding... and I sing really loud to songs and dance like no one is looking.. except you know that people are because its not like im the only one on the road. ha.

24. I'm a convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I have a really big family, but those two things are the closest things to my heart, and what make me want to be a better person everyday.
25. I check the mail every single day, I'm kind of a maniac about it. Even when I know Marco's letters can't possibly come in 1 or 2 days I still check it. just in case. :)
