25 Random Things... these puppies never get old.

Emily tagged me in this one. You'd think I'd run out of random things to say about myself, but it's not true, my friends. and don't judge me if i accidentally repeat something from the "16 random things" note.

1. i am wicked forgetful. it is a recent development, but i seem to forget everything that has to do with work or school... or things that were said in conversations, regardless of their importance. i can, however, remember movie quotes like you wouldn't believe.

2. i have also recently developed an allergy to alcohol and food. the alcohol doesn't bother me, i'm really not a drinker. but the food part kind of makes life less enjoyable.

3. i want to learn to freebord. (joshua, will you help me? josiah is being a little girl and won't do it with me.) I also want to learn how to skateboard and play guitar. all this year. also, it bothers me that there is not an 'a' in the word 'freebord'.

4. i like to pick on my mom. my favorite one thus far was the conversation in which i expressed a desire for a rather large and intricate tattoo. she's so easy to irritate. it's adoreable.

5. if i could, i would be a boondock saint. (no, roy, not their secretary.)

6. Leo Tolstoy changed my life. if i could have coffee and conversation with anyone from the past, it would be him. although, i would have to learn russian. i'm not above it.

7. if i could have pick anyone from the past to be my shopping buddy, it would be Oscar Wilde. (don't act like you wouldn't pick him too.)

8. i wish that i could do nothing but read, write, sing, and play piano for a living.

9. i carry a german dictionary around in my backpack in case i need it. not an english dictionary, though. yes, i am that person.(p.s. i haven't had a german class since high school. )

10. i say 'that's what she said' as often as possible.

11. i love volcom, roxy, j. roberts, and victoria's secret more than life itself.

12. i am passionate about long, beautiful, intricate sentences- the more commas and semicolons, the better.

13. i am afraid of not being good enough.

14. i like to do things for people. it makes me feel good.

15. i have a bad habit of unintentionally planning things with friends at the exact same times. because i forget. (see random fact #1)

16. i fear that i have lost hope in people, but there are an elite few who help me believe all is not lost.

17. i dig consistency (in people's behavior especially, but also consistency in beliefs and opinions.)

18. i don't talk just to fill silence. there is no point to empty words.19. i am still reading 6 books at once. haven't finished any of them yet, but i'm almost through with 'Haunted'.

20. i am different than anyone you will probably ever meet. some people like it. some people don't. i'm okay with that.

21. i form my own opinions about things. if i have an opinion about something, it's because i have thought about it a lot. i usually will not share my opinions unless i am asked because they tend to be atleast a little offensive, but typically only to people who are closed-minded.

22. i wanted to vote for Cookie Monster for president, and i would have, had there been a write-in portion on my ballot.

23. i like to be sung to.

24. i'm not a morning person. i don't believe the sun should come up until atleast 11:30.

25. i hate complaining. i try not to do it. things could always be worse.
