5*5

well, facebook only let me tag 30 people... yes i was getting kind of carried away. so i'm putting this in here because i didnt tag any of you family/blog readers. this was actually fun to do


1} I automatically close my eyes when I turn the light off at night. even as i walk back to my bed. It doesn’t make any difference, but I can’t help it! It’s just a reaction

2} I used to have a stuffed koala bear (well, I still have it) that I named after my current crush. I changed his name often

3} I slept with stuffed animals up until a couple years ago. It’s nice to have something to cuddle with!

4} I used to actually be good at volleyball. A long long time ago. A few people I knew back then can witness to this. But my grades kept me off the school team a few times, and I was too lazy to practice. Curse my laziness.

5} ever since the first time I saw the movie Where the Heart is, I haven’t liked the number 5. i’m pretty sure most people that have seen that movie don’t even think about it. But I ALWAYS do when I see the number 5. for the longest time I didn’t even have anyone assigned to 5 on my speed dial.

6} I’m more superstitious than I admit. Although I’m not really sure if it’s superstition or a little but of OCD. Maybe a little bit of both.

7} when I was little I went through a phase where I wouldn’t sit on the toilet (even at home) because I was scared that I would pee so much that it would over flow on me!

8} at the same time, I was very afraid of the brakes going out on the car. Everytime we went down a hill I would hold onto the seat for dear life. Thank goodness these fears didn’t stick with me.

9} I love to read books or watch movies that make me cry. But only if I’m alone. It’s good to have a good cry every once in a while—and this way it’s not about something sad that happened in my life!

10} I love sweats. I wish I could wear them everywhere. I would love to just have a whole wardrobe of sweats. And not cute nike workout sweat suits. Just the plain old grungy sweats. Huge man sweats from wal mart are great.

11} I had an opportunity to get a drum set when I was like 15. my mom even said I could (shock!!) but I decided I would learn the guitar instead. I regret that SOOOO much. And now I feel like it’s too late. Everytime I go to a show I watch the drummer and am so jealous. It just looks like so much fun

12} when I eat hurshey kisses I grab a bunch and put them in my pockets so they get soft. They I will just eat one every once in a while. They are sooooo good soft. I also suck on m&ms to make them soft.

13} I get shin splints too much. When I used to play volleyball they would get so bad I couldn’t walk/stand. Now I get them at random times. Although I think I’ve figured out that i get them when I shake my leg, that triggers it. And every time I go shopping- without fail.

14} icy-hot patches are AMAZING. I could not live without them. I would never sleep if I didn’t put icy-hot patches on my shins at night

15} I’m anemic. When I found out, I researched the symptoms and a lot of things made sense then.

16} I take 7-9 pills a day. I know when I’m older I’m gonna have tons like my mom

17} I’ve never broken a bone. I made it 16 years without a trip to the hospital until the tampon incident.

18} when we were little, Kendra, Tristan and I caught garter snakes. Then we made little homes for them in shoe boxes. The homes included grass, dirt, rocks, leaves, and sand. Then we would trap the snake in the box with plastic wrap until they turned blue…. Then we let them go. Now that I think about it, Tristan wasn’t into the whole habitat making as much as Kendra and I, he just liked catching the snakes. Lol. This all ended when Kendra got bit by one of the snakes.

19} almost all of my childhood memories include Kendra. I’m glad we are still friends

20} I hardly ever get mad. I can pretty much count the fights/arguments I’ve been in with friends on one hand—going back to 6th grade. I do get annoyed sometimes, everyone does. But I guess I don’t usually show it when I am annoyed and I get over things pretty quickly.

21} I love Washington state. It’s so pretty here! And I actually like rain. We have mountains, a coast, a desert, and a rain forest all in one state!!

22} there is nothing to me, like hearing a song and listening to the words, and realizing that it is exactly what I am going through at the time. music is just amazing.

23} I don’t really like pop. I can barely drink a full can and if I do, it makes my stomach hurt. I’d rather have juice.

24} There are a few people who have greatly influenced my life, and don’t even know it. But I will never forget them

25} being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (mormon) is the most important thing to me. I would never deny it ever, and I would be a completely different person without it.
