I’m joining in all the hype.
1/ I’m a Lost, Arrested Development, The Office, and Will & Grace junkie. But other than these shows, I never watch tv.
2/ I can play: guitar, piano, bass, trumpet, baritone, french horn, trombone, saxaphone, clarinet, ukulele, and kazoo. I like to pretend that I can play: violin, cello, and harmonica.
3/ I was born (sorta) and raised in Pittsburgh, PA.
4/ I absolutely love to cook. Especially if I get to cook for lots of people! (Sunday-buffalo chicken dip-hoorah!..haha)
5/ I listen to music almost nonstop throughout the day. I really cannot make it through a day without listening to Coldplay or Lifehouse.
6/ I love quotes. My favorites are, “The great use of life is to spend it on something that will outlast it.” James Trunslow Adams and “To love is to be vulnerable.” C.S. Lewis
7/ I have ALWAYS wanted to ride in a hot air balloon for as long as I can remember. I still haven’t had the chance to do so.
8/ This is way harder than I thought!
9/ I did my undergrad at Messiah College in Grantham, PA and my degree is in Christian ministries with a concentration in global missions.
10/ When I was a kid, until about the end of high school, I used to have wicked crazy dreams and would wake up disoriented and think I was in that dream. So one year at camp I dreamt the bunk bed was falling on me and I woke up, sat up straight, and knocked my head on the wooden ladder.
11/ I only like balogna if it is in the shape of a duck.
12/ I have the very best friend in the whole entire world who loves me no matter what! And for that I am grateful. I don’t know what I’d do without her!
13/ I think kids are hysterical. I particularly enjoy the company of a rambunctious 2-6 year old. But beware, I tend to teach them bad things. Well, bad things or lots of Beatles songs Or bad things AND lots of Beatles songs. I think every 4 year old should know that the Beatles are the greatest rock band and be able to sing the chorus of some of their most famous songs. I’m just sayin’.
14/ I love to laugh really hard and I love to make other people laugh really hard. And by hard I mean, crying and having trouble breathing. What a joy!
15/ I’ve traveled outside of the country only twice; once to Port-au-Prince, Haiti and once to Baoding/Beijing, China. I am hankering to travel alot more after I’m done with school.
16/ Contrary to popular belief, I don’t actually know anything about anything. 98.5% of the time I google it. In fact, I say, “I’ll just google it,” probably at least 10 times a day.
17/ I have a small collection of wooden statues from various places – Haiti, Mexico, Hawaii, Ecuador, Iceland. It keeps growing and I love it! So next time you are out of the country, hook me up!
18/ I’m deathly afraid of snakes. I will either (a) pass out or (b) run away screaming at the top of my lungs. I haaaaaate them!
19/ See #10. I had one as a kid where I dreamt there was a large gray snake wrapped around a tree in my yard and the people at the church were trying to figure out what to do with it. I still think about that alot and it still makes me shudder (see #18).
20/ I love all my fellow Mars-Hillians. They are an amazing bunch of people and we all have a ton of fun together!
21/ I miss my cat who is at home….she thinks she is a puppy and follows me around everywhere. And she sleeps next to my head every night.
22/ I’ve been in 26 states. Someday, hopefully make it to all of them.
23/ I won a real live bunny at school when I was in 2nd grade. I named it Fufu. No comments! haha
24/ I am actually rather introverted. I like being around people, but I also need alone time to wind down at night.
25/ I want to live, breathe, work, play, eat, love, sing, all in the name of Christ.
I like the facelift that your blog got. I hope all is going well for you.
