100 things!

My 100th blog post was on December 1st, the same day as my 25 Days of Christmas began. In addition to my 25 Days of Christmas posts, I was supposed to write my 100 facts about me, which originally should have been my 100th post.

Well, just over 2 months later, here's that list. Hope you find out a couple random things you didn't know about me :)

1. I used to hate flowers. For some reason, I just didn’t always like getting flowers because they were going to die. I did always like getting them at dance recitals. Now, I love flowers, especially really colorful ones. However, I am often known for killing them quickly…

2. I love bright colors.

3. I find my bed at Longwood more comfortable than my bed at home. I think it’s because of the two layers of padding I added on to the mattress!

4. I am obsessed with chapstick. Like, reeeeeally obsessed.

5. I love vintage things like old metal signs of Elvis, The Wizard of Oz, I Love Lucy, etc. I have a bunch hanging on one wall of my room at home.

6. I love cupcakes. They seem to taste way better than regular cake to me.

7. I know money isn’t everything, but sometimes I wish I had unlimited funds to buy all kinds of craft materials (and maybe one or two packs of Oreos..)

8. I have no on earthly idea what kind of job I want to have. (Well, I have those ideas of dream jobs..ha)

9. I love sweets. Not just chocolate, but any dessert (including those cupcakes!).

10. The Curry RA Staff consists of some of the greatest people in my life.

11. Sometimes I think about cutting my hair short again, but then I know I’d cry when Auntie Sherrie chops it all off!!

12. Yes, I’m one of those girls who has been planning their wedding since they were five (Mom, don’t freak out. Yet.) :)

13. I don’t just love Christmas; I love all the different things about Christmas: Christmas lights, Christmas trees & decorations, Christmas cooking/baking, wrapping presents, getting together with my family, drinking out of our special 12 Days of Christmas glasses!!!, watching the countless amounts of Christmas specials on TV, listening to Christmas music :) and everything else!

14. I have a super long list of all these blogs that I read religiously. Is there such thing as too long of a list??

15. I like to blog, but a lot of times, I run out of things to type about!!

16. My favorite Summer Olympics athlete is Michael Phelps.

17. My favorite Winter Olympics athlete is Apolo Ohno.

18. I used to scrapbook a lot. I am so ridiculously far behind now that I dread the day I get back to it…

19. I like music such as Elvis, the Beatles, the Beach Boys, etc.

20. And throw in some Blues Brothers too.

21. Matt gave me a Michael Buble calendar for Christmas; however, Matt says it’s more like a pin-up than a calendar. Haha. I guess that is true, because the dates only go across the bottom of the page, they’re really small, and the pictures are over a foot long!

22. I’m really weird about saving stuff. For instance, every month our RA staff gets a new calendar each month that says who is on duty every night. I always print it out and put it on the wall by my door for easy reference. Well, at the end of every month, I take the old one down and I have a running list of the calendars on the wall behind my door….haha.

23. I like McDonalds’ food way too much. Not good.

24. Last semester, I had a few residents write me nice notes on post-its and leave them on my door for me to come back to. I love my residents :)

25. I only like cold weather if there’s going to be snow!!!

26. Three of my cousins and I are born on the 17th of a month.

27. Speaking of cousins, I have a LOT.

28. My Aunt Vickie got me into beading when I was younger. It’s been a while now since I’ve made something!

29. Before, I couldn’t stand the feeling of lotion on my hands. Now, I like it.

30. I make too many to-do lists.

31. I painted a teal and pink piggybank at Jellystone last September…I wonder how long it will take to fill it up with change?? [sidenote: my sister painted one the same colors, but where the colors are is reversed on each of ours!]

32. I have naturally curly hair, and straighten it about once a season.

33. I recently discovered the show on Style Network called Jerseylicious; it’s ridiculous, but I also love it!

51. Now that I am half-way through this list, I am realizing that it’s pretty hard to think of 100 things about myself to write!

52. I don’t have very many pictures of myself; I’m usually the one taking all the pics!

53. I have recently become addicted to the game Angry Birds. Oh my. I didn’t know shooting different colored birds, each with different powers, at funny looking green pigs of different sizes could be so entertaining.

98. When I was little, I was completely convinced that my toys were just like Woody, Buzz, Ham, and all of the other characters from Toy Story. I would try to catch them, but even when I slowly cracked my door open to see them, they were just too fast for me to see in action. What a shame.

99. I don't really eat popcorn unless I'm at the movies.

100. Last, but not least, it took me over 2 weeks to create this list of 100 things. Sad? I kinda think so.
