wednesday

i stumbled across a list of twenty-five random facts that i wrote about myself a couple years ago. i laughed.

1: JESUS is my best friend. but i often fail at being a good friend to him.

2: i've developed a love/hate relationship with sleep. it consumes such a huge fraction of the hours in my day and i feel like i could be doing so much during that time. but its sleep...so wonderful.

3: if i controlled the weather, it would be 100 degrees (dry heat) or 90 degrees (with humidity) every day. and i would live by an ocean or lake in which i would swim/sail/kayak/frolic. i think that most people are glad that i don't control the weather.

4: my dream is to get married and have a family. but if that never ends up happening, i will be content with purchasing a jeep, getting a large dog, and living a life of adventure.

5: i really have no idea what i want to be when i grow up. i tend to not think that far ahead.

6: i like to pretend to be athletic. i run. i climb. i dance. i swim. i bike. i play the occasional recreational sport. i even do taebo when no one is watching.

7: ive always wanted to surf. however, since my mother claims to be "too concerned for my safety" whenever an opportunity presents itself, this dream is currently on hold. as is skydiving.

8: bright colors are fantastic.

9: math and i are not friends, but there is a mutual respect. actually, the mutuality is questionable. i'm convinced that it hates me.

10: i am the first to laugh/make fun of myself...and everyone else.

11: music is a very good thing.

12: i love to turn everyday activities into adventures. actually, i like to turn everything into an adventure.

13: roller coasters are about the greatest invention of all time.

14: i'm not a crazy, energetic person all of the time. i'm quite often quiet, sentimental, and relaxed. this surprises a lot of people.

15: when i'm home alone, i blast music and dance around in my underwear.

16: i've made mistakes. i still make mistakes. but i am forgiven.

17: i love, love, love to write.

18: lucky charms are my favorite cereal.

19: i don't watch a whole lot of tv or movies. there always seems to be better things to do.

20: after working at starbucks for almost two years, i've developed a semi-addiction to coffee.

21: my discontent with being stuck in one place and love of exploring new things/places started at birth..i came four weeks early.

22: i can't help but try to sing like wreckless eric whenever i listen to "(i'd go the) whole wide world".

23: i will stay up late, regardless of what time i have to get up the next morning. this is where my coffee dependence comes in.

24: i always sleep on my side because i've self-diagnosed myself with a mild case of sleep apnea. this makes sleeping in hammocks slightly hazardous.

25: i make cookies for the sole purpose of eating the dough.
