The Time Has Come....50 Things

Here are 50 things people may not know about me. I've been brainstorming since I proposed this idea on here a few days ago and need to make the post before I forget all of them..

1. I have a baby pillow whose name is...originally...Mr. Pillow. In recent years...specifically since we went to Italy, Jordan and I have renamed him SeƱor.

2. The only part of my body that I would not alter in any way are my eyebrows.

3. I have a stage 2 overbite. I sucked my thumb until I was 13...that'll do it.

4. If I could eat three things for the rest of my life and have only one drink I would have...a) special K with red berries. b) cucumber/tomato/feta with balsamic vinigarette c) Shrimp Scampi. And my drink would be chocolate milk. I ask everyone I meet to tell me what they would choose.

5. I have still never given up my dream to become a back up dancer for a rapper or pop star...and won't until it happens.

6. When I listen to music, I do a dance to the song in my head. My sisters used to see my shoulders moving in the car and called me a freak...I claimed I wasn't doing anything...that was a lie. I choreograph dances to every single song I hear and often remember them the next time I hear the song.

7. My favorite music types are beat-heavy hip hop and Christian rock. 

8. I get google alerts on my email every time there is a new story regarding britney spears. 

9. I LOVE things that are either extremely bigger or extremely smaller than its typical size....for example...the tiny cans of soda and/or the "honey I shrunk the kids" park at Disney World.

10. I cry when I see people eating alone at restaurants. Even if I know they are happy, I cry and feel bad. 

11. If I were President...I would legalize Gay Marriage, create more volunteer programs to reach out to the homeless, feed the hungry and find homes for abandoned children.

12. I am extremely vain about my hair. I look at it in my shadow and spent more time doing my hair before hockey games than actually getting dressed. (this is also because its very hard to keep really long hair up when you run for 2 hours...)

13. I pray multiple times before I fly anywhere...starting at least one day before the flight. I would tell you the exact prayer I say...but that would be weird....but its the same prayer every single time.

14. I have a restricted license because of my eyesight. I have to wear my contacts....I just found this out recently. Oops.

15. I LOVE funny things and laughing hard is one of my favorite things to do. 

16. My fastest timed mile was 6:18...the best day of my life.

17. I had the conference record for most defensive saves in a season my junior year at Dickinson in hockey. I'm the #2 for DS in the history of the school.

18. Shannon and I told people in elementary school that we had an older brother named Michael who was 30 and that we had a pet monkey in our garage named po-po that nobody was allowed to see. 

19. My favorite "spices" are cinnamon/sugar and garlic. Not at the same time.

20. I really really really hate eating noises and when people walk slowly either with me or in front of me. It stresses me out, eats at me from within and puts me in a terrible mood. This may seem dramatic but its....well....I'm never gonna change and I think it would be ridiculous to say that either of those things are good qualities. Sorry for seeming harsh.

21. My senior superlative in high school was....Biggest Spaz.  (see above)   

22. 50s hair styles....the one where its like kinky/wavy....is my worst nightmare and I hate when people like Christina Aguilera and Gwenyth Paltrow do their hair like that for things. Gross.

23. I love running and I love working out. I feel victorious when my body hurts from it.

24. I love cold houses and love sleeping in them. 

25. The worst pain I have ever felt is when I got an ingrown toenail surgically removed when it was infected....and then played field hockey 5 days later...with tears rolling down my face. But it was worth it.

26. I am uncomfortable when I'm not wearing earrings.

27. In general...I ask everyone their "favorites". For instance...I ask jordan who his favorite roommate is, what his favorite class is, favorite sport etc....and get frustrated when people can't answer me. Then...when asked myself I get flustered and can't decide. I like things being black and white...clearly separated.

28. I have a favorite sister.                    Hahaha no I don't...I wish I did though so that I knew.

29. I have a photographic mind. I picture a calendar when I think about the days of the week and what I have to do each of those days.

30. I love babies and want a million of them. And have probably 2 million names that I want to use.   (its really not that weird)

31. I don't wear heels. If I do....its not for long because my feet are the most insane things you'll ever see and will never recover from my athletic career.

32. I really love to cook and bake....and I can't wait until I can do it for more than just me and Sarah. ( I don't know when that will be...but someday.)

33. If I could hang out with one professional athlete....unfortunately I think Jordan is right....it would be Fred Smoot. OR Alex Ovechkin.

34. My favorite sport to play EVER is field hockey on field turf and my LEAST favorite sport to play is field hockey on GRASS. 

35. Probably my favorite thing in the whole entire world...aside from Mr. Pillow...is when someone tickles my back (gross word...but its not a scratch, its a tickle) and/or plays with my hair. 

36. I used to dream of becoming Shaquille O'Neill or Jim Carrey. Pro baller or a Comedian. Then I decided I would just be sporty spice instead.

37. I realized I was funny when I was 7 on our family trip out West. 

38. I know all of the helping verbs and can recite them very quickly...
am is are was were be being been have has had do does did shall should will would may might must can could.

39. I love my pets, my family and my house. I dream of one day having a million cats.

40. I am afraid of really deep waters and really really BIG things....like space, the world, airplanes in the sky.....ew...I can't describe it but I hyperventilate just looking at them. See the movie "quantum of solace" and when you see the airplane chase scene...you will see the epitome of fear for me.

41. Meanwhile... I have flown an airplane, gone bungy jumping and skydiving all of which I found thrilling and not scary.

42. I knew I wanted to be a writer after I wrote my first story in second grade...it was about 2 pigs named Joe and Moe who go to a candy factory. (ironic...considering one of the hundred things jordan and I call one another are joe and moe.) Maybe we're just two pigs trying to have a good time?

43. I had a weird....strangely drawn out obsession with pigs as a child....and now have one of those collections that they would should on 60 minutes of someone who needs help.

44. I eat ice cream and yogurt with a fork...it tastes better that way. Speaking of Ice cream....my mom's oreo is my favorite.

45. I wish soo sooo much that I could go back in time to see myself as a baby, a toddler and a kid. I want to hold me as a baby and talk to me as a toddler. man that would be awesome. 

46. I have a freakishly vivid memory of numbers, events, birthdays, images...as far back as when I was a baby. 

47. I don't know what my favorite number is and that makes me nervous.

48. I LOVE THE BEACH.

49. I have a very short torso.

50. I am extremely aware of time and find it disconcerting when others are not.


And soon....I will be famous:)

"maybe we're just two pigs trying to have a good time?"... that is one of the funniest things you've ever said. Just thought I'd let you know that.
