Twenty Five.

I did this on Facebook but figured I'd post it here in case someone else was bored.

Here's the deal.

I write 25 things about me.

I tag you.

You write 25 things about you.

You tag people.  

-------------  

1. I love bright colors. Blue, Green, Pink, and Orange. Neon style. They make me happy.  

2. I hate talking on the phone so much that I will go weeks without talking to family or friends. And it drives me crazy.  

3. I have a highly addictive personality. But my addictions change regularly. Right now they're Now and Laters, Diet Dr. Pepper, and The Bachelor.  

4. I'm also addicted to Blogs. I don't see this one changing anytime soon though. I could sit for hours and just read people's blogs.  

5. I actually LOVE to cook/bake. The reason I don't do it very often is because I hate the mess it creates.  

6. I hate doing anything that I feel needs to be done. And I also hate doing things that I'm told to do. I like to do things on my own time.  

7. Dusting is my all time LEAST favorite chore. I am embarrassed to admit that I honestly can't remember the last time, outside of work, that I did it.  

8. I haven't actually been, or felt like, myself since Jessy died. I can't decide if it's because I'm afraid of losing someone else or if I've really just changed.  

9. I'm terrified of stepping out of my comfort zone. But I think I've finally realized that it's necessary.  

10. My greatest fear, despite whatever I've said in the past, is not having my dad walk me down the aisle or meet my kids.  

11. I made a timeline of my life when I was very young. It said that I’d be married by 21 and have my first baby by 23. Until my 21st year passed by I still believed my “perfect world” would come true.  

12. Since I was 12 my dream job has been to be a stay at home mom. And just for the record, I don't think a stay at home mom's job should only be to take care of the kids. She should make sure the house stays clean, the laundry is done, and dinner is ready when her husband gets home. After working all day he should be able to come home and just relax.  

13. Second to being a stay at home mom, my dream job would be a nurse in the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit. I learned about them while watching a medical show with my mom when I was really young and I’ve dreamed about it since. But I don’t have the money or patience to go to school for it.  

14. I really do consider our puppy, Tripper, our "son." I mean, with all the toys strewn across our living room floor you’d think we had a toddler anyway. Plus, I've cleaned up various bodily fluids (something I said I've never do), stayed in and out of doctor's offices and pet ER's because he was such a sickly baby, and made sure he had food even if I couldn't afford my own! (The last one, of course, is an exaggeration but you get the point.)  

15. I am very easily influenced. It's not a good thing. But, just like my chronic procrastination, I don't think there's a cure.  

16. I would much rather make memories with great friends and family than make money. For someone with not much money to begin with it gets me in trouble sometimes.  

17. I pretty much feel like I’ve done nothing with my life. I’d really love to do something that would make someone proud of me.  

18. I absolutely can NOT stand the smell of bread or cheese. But I could eat both every day of my life (all day) and not get sick of them.  

19. I really REALLY miss going to the gym. But I have no one to go with and I’m way too self conscious and insecure to go by myself.  

20. I always talk about how much I love sleep. And everybody knows it’s almost impossible for me to stay awake through an entire movie. But really, it has such an impact on my day to day life that I think it may be something more serious. I think I should get it checked out..  

21. I have this weird fascination with death. I love reading about anything even related to it. And no, it’s not because I’m suicidal or anything crazy like that. I just find it really interesting.  

22. I’m so indecisive that most of the time I can’t even answer simple “What’s your favorite [color, food, song, etc.]” questions.  

23. I unofficially collect blankets and pajama pants. You can never have enough of either one. I think I’m probably up to 50 of each. I love love love them!  

24. Thanks to the show Unsolved Mysteries ( you know you remember it! ) and a creepy neighbor peering into my window when I was younger, I am now extremely paranoid. I hate being in the house alone. When I take a shower the front door is locked, the bedroom door is locked, and the bathroom door is locked. And I definitely can’t sleep if I’m the only one in the house. Even with all the doors locked every little noise creeps me out.  

25. I think I’ve developed ADD recently. It took me 2 days to complete this damn thing because I kept getting distracted and moving on to other things. Annoying!
