25 Things about Me

Because Mom, Dad, and others don't have facebook, I am going to post what I posted as a note on there. As Allison said in her blog, there's a trend on facebook right now to do a note (equivalent to a blog post kind of) about 25 things people typically don't know about you. Many of you probably know these factoids, but here is it anyway:

1. I am a polar opposite of who I was in high school, and I think many people are grateful for that change. I got a 2.0 GPA one time then, and now in college, I have been on the Dean's list except for one semester. Damn Organic/Biochemistry.

2. I love popcorn. I use my air popper a couple times a week. And one time, (when I was trying to cut back on money) I ate popcorn an hour or so before I went to the movie with friends, but when I got there, I just ended up ordering another batch. I can't help it!! It's an addiction!

3. My secret dream is to arrive on the scene of some trauma and save someone's life.

4. My biggest fear is to disappoint my family.

5. My second biggest fear is to end up alone and poor.

6. My very best friends are my 3 sisters, Laura, Allison, and Sarah, and my Mom. And then my 2 'technically not blood related sisters' Jill and Krissy.

7. I'm a homebody and get homesick pretty frequently.

8. I caused a Code Red at the U of U Hospital and never told anyone about it. Oh no! The secret is out!

9. It takes a lot to get me mad. But if you do push that button, look out. My hair isn't red for nothing.

10. I love hot tomato juice poured over French toast. It’s best when it gets soggy.

11. I am a Harry Potter nerd. I have been to every movie's opening day (usually midnight showings where you have to wait in line for 7 hours) and almost all midnight book openings. I would go to Hogwarts in a heartbeat.

12. I sleepwalk/talk. I am convinced that "Stepbrothers" heard of the time I tried to microwave my blanket while sleep walking and used it for their movie.

13. I am obsessed with fitness. Fitness magazines, books, websites etc. You'd think I'd be ripped...but I'm not haha.

14. I love purple. Purple car, purple clothes, purple makeup, purple everything.

15. I have every episode of Friends and watch a run through of it every Spring while doing homework.

16. As soon as I graduate, I'm moving back to California or Manhattan. After a year, I plan to travel the world doing travel nursing.

17. My idol is Dr. Oz. And if you are around me enough, I will quote his knowledge frequently.

18. I broke my arm when I was 5 years old while my parents were away on a trip. No one believed me that it was broken for a couple days, then I finally got taken to the emergency room.

19. My siblings and my childhood friends used to make home videos that ranged from creating talk shows to soap operas to commercials to Miss America pageants. I was in all 4 of the Miss America pageants…and didn’t win once. Needless to say, I was the ugly kid.

20. As a kid, I was terrified of ghosts and the dark. As an adult, I am still terrified of the dark.

21. My favorite vacation was going to Disneyworld. I will go there on my honeymoon.

22. I think it is unattractive when a guy spends a lot of money on a girl. I would much rather receive something that they made.

23. The most emotional presents I’ve gotten: 1) My Baby Book that my Mom spent probably hundreds of hours on. 2) Nail Salon Magic (I was like 8 and cried about it) 3) My Bichon Frise, Louie.

24. My favorite song to listen to when I’m sad: “Luckiest” by Ben Folds.

25. I can stick my tongue out so far that you can see my epiglottis. I was a hit in Nursing Assessment on “Assessment of the Face & Mouth” day. =)
