25 Random Facts...

I keep getting tagged to write 25 random facts about myself in emails...and although, I feel like I've written a lot of random facts, here are 25 more:

1. I love popcorn (Popsecret "Homestyle" is the best microwave kind)...could eat it every day!

2. I don't really like to sit at Borders and read books.

3. I wish I could say that I like to sit at Borders and read books.

4. I listen to Christian talk radio...Heidi laughs at me. It's true, I sound old. :)

5. My feet are getting smaller the older I get.

6. I've worn braces twice...and my teeth are still crooked. Looking into Invisalign.

7. I love dancing in my house...and do it quite often.

8. I'm a bad dancer. I wish I was a good dancer...somehow, I always want to look cute and sassy but always end up looking less than classy and just plain trashy...whoa. what was that?! Do you like green eggs and ham? I do not like them, Sam I am.

9. I would guess that I google 20 times a day.

10. I was a Speech Comm. major...this seems to suprise a lot of people.

11. I considered majoring in piano performance. I didn't. Good choice.

12. The first crush I ever had in my life was Almonzo (Laura's love interest in Little House on the Prarie). Believe me, this is NOT something I'm proud of.

13. Growing up, my favorite movies were Ben Hur and Giant. We were odd little girls...I'm telling ya, I was 5 and 6 years old when these became my favorite movies. I liked Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins and all that, but they weren't my favorites. I guess when you grow up in Japan and children's movies weren't readily accessible, this is what you get. :)

14. I have a piece of led from a pencil stuck in my ankle...it's been there since I was 6 years old. You can still see it. Are you grossed out yet?

15. I broke my right arm when I was 9, trying to swing from branch to branch while playing Ghost in the Graveyard...to this day, I can't fully straighten it.

16. I love getting flowers...but don't like the smell.

17. I really love helium balloons.

18. I've never colored/highlighted my hair.

19. I'm a Notre Dame fan.

20. From the ages of 6-14, I wished that I would be 5'2" as I thought this was the perfect height. I wasted many birthday-candle-blowing-wishes on this.

21. I don't really like the movie of Pinnochio because of Pleasure Island and when all the little boys turn to donkeys. It really creeps me out.

22. I had a dream last night that Jerry Seinfeld narrated.

23. I can scream really high...in fact, I've never met anyone that can scream higher than I can. Although, it's been a while since I've tried.

24. I still keep in contact with a couple of my college professors.

25. Several of my dearest and best friends live very far away...Kasey, Becca, Lindsay, Beth, and Jonathan. :( I miss them.


There. Any random facts we should know about you? :)

I also listen to Christian talk radio. Most days I'd rather listen to that while I drive than music. WPEO AM 1020 all the way! Or 88.5 FM is my second choice when I want to get a few sermons in.

ALL of my friends laugh at me and I am not allowed to listen to it when they are in the car.

So . . .

I LOVE christian talk radio ( I drive Ryan nuts) . ..but he likes listening to Hannity . . .and that drives me nuts at times. I call it even. : )

I've had braces twice . . .and kind of figure I'll have to have them again when I"m 40

I too dance around the house and do it quite often . . .but I,too, am pretty sure Ava is the only one that would classify it as "good." You've seen my high school dance videos. . . you know I speak truth. : )

Growing up reading the Little House on the Prairie books OVER and OVER and OVER . .. I too imagined Almonzo as the ultimate catch someday. Thank goodness we get wiser with age -huh??! : )

AND

I too, love getting flowers (I think it's the idea of being remembered : ) ), but can't handle the strong scents that some have.

ok, that was pitiful, I don't think you were asking for 25 facts about ME! : )

Tami said...

those are great! glad to know i'm not the only one that likes christian talk radio!!! :)

amber, i didn't know those things about you!!! so fun!!!

Tara said...

Ok, how did I not know about the lead in you ankle and the broken arm when you were 9?! I thought we knew everything about each other! However, you didn't know that I can bowl, so I guess were even! :-)

emilykate said...

I too have lead stuck in me! But it is in my thumb from when I was 7.

Oh, and why in the world would you want to be a Notre Dame fan...baaddd choice. :)

Tami...I am disappointed that I didn't make your list of your dear friends that live far away.

I think that I could qualify for one of your close friends considering I knew just about all of the 25 random facts about you.

Daish said...

Tami, you are so funny. Comment # 8 was my favorite!

Tami said...

emily...i'm afraid i've been a notre dame fan for quite some time. although, i feel attached to purdue as well since we've gone to the PMO christmas shows ever since i can remember. also, when purdue played u of i, i cheered very enthusiastically for purdue in an all u of i section...to the point that someone threw a plastic cup at me! i hope i've won you over a little. :)

jonathan...i honestly don't know how i forgot to mention you in the list! of course you should be in that list. i'll go make that change!

daish...i'm glad you got it! after i made the dr. seuss reference, i thought i probably confused people even further! :)

Kasey said...

Tam, you are so funny. I also appreciated the "Sam I am" comment. And you warmed my heart with your sweet remembrance of me. I treasure your friendship, even across the miles.

Wendy said...

Tami, I have lead in my left ankle. Been there for 10 years. I have always wondered why it doesn't eventually "grow out" you know like a splinter.
