Okay, everyone is doing it so...
1. I use facebook to look at people I have not seen or can barely remember. I do not understand any of the tags, or giftings, or whatever, so if I don't respond...sorry. I no speaky Facebook.
2. I always finish a book, no matter how terrible it is. However, sometimes it is finished by skimming. You know, just in case it suddenly redeems itself and gets good. That has yet to happen.
3.I love ice water. Not just to make it cold, but because I must crunch ice with my water. I once broke up with a guy over it. We were out to lunch in 11th? grade and I was crunching away, and James cringed and said the sound drove him crazy. I didn't see the point of continuing our relationship.
4. Speaking of dating...Michael was the first guy I didn't break up with after he kissed me. Usually a Kiss...was the kiss of death of a relationship for me. (above James had kissed me the day before...the ice was just the last straw.) And if you know me you know I am a VERY kissy person. So I wasn't frigid, I could just tell immediately that someone was not for me after the kiss.
5. Skittles with popcorn is my most favorite movie treat. How to: pop one or two skittles in your mouth, crunch once to break open skittles then insert a handful of popcorn, then enjoy. Skeptical? Don't knock it til you try it.
6. I would never want to live abroad again. I want to travel endlessly, but living is for the states. Let me explain...nevermind it will take to long. Ask me some other time.
7. If I love a movie I will see it many times in the theater. And then I will buy it and watch it many times at home. Michael doesn't get it.
8. Netflix is the greatest invention. I now refuse to jump into a show. I have to watch every single episode from the beginning and netflix makes that possible. And it makes it possible to try out everything and not feel guilty. No extra money spent. Worth every cent, and has saved me millions in late fees.
9. I love picking, zits, blackheads, sunburns, scabs, glue covered hands... It is so relaxing and gives me great satisfaction.
10. I love seeing anyone's old pictures or home videos. I find it fascinating seeing into other people's lives. I love the stories. We recently watched several different wedding videos, such fun.
11. Butter smeared on a graham cracker is delicious. yummmmmy!
12. I almost never do my girls hair anymore. I say, go brush your hair and they do what they like. At church yesterday I saw that Avie had brushed only the front. My reaction? Oh, well. Yes, I am that lady.
13. I love having kids 'cause it gives me an excuse to bring treats to church. I enjoy them through all 3 hours. Whoever sits by me in Relief Society is lucky cause I share. Sixlets, smarties, tootsie rolls?
14. I love to sing, and do it almost constantly. I still sing to my kids every night, they each get their own song. And I tell you what it is a royal pain sometimes. Roan still gets 3 or so. Last night to Roan I sang, Book of Mormon Stories with several extended verses. I like to look for Rainbows, and Mary had a little lamb. To Paige I sang "Part of your World" from little Mermaid with the reprisal (I don't know when...I don't know how, but I know something's starting right nooooowwww..watch and you'll seeeeee. Someday I'll beeeee... part of your worrrrld!) Liv got "Do your Ears hang Low" (that one is a Roan favorite and we have sung about eyes, hair, noses, hands, boogies, eyebrows, tongues....) And to Avie I sang "Golly what a day" and "Every town" both from Robin Hood.
15. Mint Milano cookies are my all time favorite cookie. I have to eat them a certain way too.
16. I love playing games, board games, card games, video games, clapping and noisy games, strategic games, love em. I don't care if I win, but I will try my hardest. Anyone wanna?
17. Speaking of games, Michael and I have often butted heads over games. He tries to manipulate the other player's actions and it drives me insane. It's like cheating to me.
15. I love to quote movies.
16. Gray, dry elbows drive me insane. Scrub and apply lotion people, it is not difficult. Speaking of lotion: I must apply a generous amount to my entire body or I feel itchy.
17. I once had a boy read a poem about me in English class, we had gone out a bit. It was humiliating. And he always just called me "Sorensen", and I hated it, but I didn't break up with him until he kissed me.
18. I hate nuts in things. I will eat peanuts, almonds, and cashews plain, but don't you dare put them in anything. (the exception: almonds in salads) And WALNUTS are the nasty devil, once in something they flavor the whole thing so you can't even pick-out then enjoy.
19. Melted cheese is my downfall. Man, I must be hungry.
20. I want to learn landscape painting. I have a picture in my mind that I want to hang on the wall and I can't find it's equivelent anywhere, so I gotta do it myself. But i need classes first.
21. I dream of an amazing digital camera that I can take amazing pictures with.
22. I have an unnatural fear of ruining something. Case in point: Christmas 2007, my hubby bought me a beautiful new set of scriptures, and I have not taken them out of the box cause I don't want to mark them wrong, or do something to them I can't take back. Case in point: While living in Italy my hubby bought me a gorgeous leather bound notebook, I have not written in it cause I am afraid of putting something stupid in there. I have issues people. Michael thinks I am silly.
23. I HATE rollercoasters. I do not like that stomach dropping out feeling. Well small bits are fine. AT Disney I like all the chill rides, and Soarin' over California, Space Mountain, Indiana Jones, Grizzley Rapids. Big drops terrify me. Tower of Terror, Splash Mountain, etc.... eeeks!
24. I hate seafood, sushi, yuck. The only time I have enjoyed fish is in England and Ireland. Fish and chips baby.
25. I wish I were a movie critic and a music video director. Too many songs have been ruined by crappy videos. And the movie critic thing? I just like sharing my opinion.
