because I can.

because I can.

I keep seeing this around Facebook, so I figured I might as well post something here. Pretty much, you write down 25 random things about yourself. :)

1. I smile for pictures with my mouth closed. When I was younger, my mom used to say I looked like Bugs Bunny when I smiled with my teeth showing. . . I guess the habit just stuck. :)

2. For my 21st birthday I fed ducks with Eric. . . I absolutely love feeding ducks.

3. I have a fear of ants. Not a ridiculously terrible, incapacitating fear, but enough to be thoroughly creeped out and panicky.

4. I'm pretty self-conscious. I'm often afraid of presenting my work to others, singing, dancing, and public speaking.

5. I love knee high socks.

6. My favorite game is Chrono Cross (what wonderful music!).

7. In 5th grade, I had the intention of writing a book. . . I still have the original manuscript that I never seemed to finish. <3

8. Relationships are scary, hence I never had a boyfriend until college (though I had no problem counseling others, haha).

9. I dislike people that use the following words liberally: gay, retarded, depressed (depression is such a disabling condition, and I have a hard time hearing it used so lightly), and the term, "passed out" (don't tell me you passed out when you came home. I've been around too many medical people, and I'll take it literally).

10. I can only compose by ear.

11. I have a wonderful love for peanut butter.

12. A breakfast consisting of bacon, a sunny side up egg, and steamed white rice is my ideal image of breakfast.

13. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day!

14. I'm not a romantic, though I do like the occasional idea of looking pretty and going on a date.

15. I've had a terrible haircut in the shape of a coconut and was told by a middle school teacher, "now that is what I call volume!"

16. I used to think that when I got older, my face wouldn't be so chubby/square-ish and it would be a nice, dainty shape.

17. If I could change one thing about my body, it would be the shape of my face. :)

18. The Big Band era is my favorite music time period.

19. Fantasy books (particularly things with magic or medieval stuff) are my favorite. . . I'm a nerd. :)

20. I am an optimist with a level sense of realism.

21. I like old man drinks apparently. >_< I happen to like whiskey.

22. I fear being left behind.

23. Greasy food / sodium rich food make my stomach churn angrily.

24. The hospital I was born at doesn't have record of my birth.

25. I really love crunchy bacon. Mmmmm!
