Boredom Took Over...

So, for the past month or two, the "25 Random Things" post has been all over Facebook, and as much as I'd love to conform, I'm trying not to. But I found, as I was reading some friends' lists, that most of them had struggles in thinking of 25 things about themselves. Granted they were probably trying to think of all of them in a short amount of time, I managed to make my own list in my times of extreme boredom....AKA...school :)
  • My favorite show growing up was Wheel of Fortune-I got hooked when I was still in diapers! Haha
  • I have never fully dyed my hair
  • I used to run the mile in track my fresman year, but I only beat one girl all season...and she was handicapped.-That's when I decided to become a shotput and discus thrower!
  • I have a birthmark on my finger that I can make disappear
  • I work at Starbucks, but I hate coffee
  • I've lived in 3 different houses-all in Nappanee
  • I hate storms
  • My first real haircut was in the 1st grade. My mom cried and she still has the 8 or so inches from it.
  • I saw the Nutcracker Ballet at the age of 10 in Salt Lake City
  • I've been to 7 different countries-US, Mexico, Germany, France, Belguim, Netherlands, and Luxembourg-That number may be increasing this summer :)
  • I love listening to classical and piano music
  • My mom gave me 20 one-dollar lottery tickets as a part of my graduation present-I ended up winning $519 from them
  • I've witnessed a sunrise and sunset all within an 8 hour plane ride-To this day, I've never seen anything more beautiful
  • I used to have a pet crab named Sandy-She died because I never gave her water
  • My favorite movie of all time is Lion King
  • I once spent 4th of July at my dad's house in Utah-Due to the mountainous landscape, I was able to see nearly 20 different cities' fireworks shows at once on the clear night
  • One of my goals is to visit all 50 states-I'm about halfway
  • The only Disney Park I have been to is located in Paris, France
  • Misspelled words are a huge pet peeve of mine.
  • My dream job would be to travel the world taking photographs for National Geographic
  • I used to receive postcards from all my dad's travels while he was in the Air Force-I probably have about 100 from all over the world
  • I collect pens from hotels that I have been to or stayed at
  • I love camping
  • I regret not going to see the Mona Lisa when I visited the Louvre-I'll be going back to do that this summer thank goodness
  • I designed NorthWood High School's school flag my senior year-I received a free iPod for it-It will be flying high for the next 30 or 40 years :)
