My 25

Everyone has been doing the 25 things on Facebook. Well, I guess that was like 6 weeks ago. But, I wanna do it. So here are mine....

1 - I could live off fresh fruit, seafood, bread, and dark chocolate for the rest of my life.

2 - I have a perfect driving record - never gotten a ticket, never gotten pulled over (except once when my registration wasn't shown as being current - but it was up-to-date and I showed her and she let me go).

3 - I love doing research and am loving a research project I am helping with at school. But this love is not just in school. Every once and a while I find a topic that I have to learn more about - and then I do. Recent examples - WWII, the FLDS/polygamy, cancer, the pathology of different disease, etc.

4 - I love/hate to read. If it is a book that I am interested in, I can't put it down. If it is a book that I am not absolutely intrigued with, I can't read it to save my life.

5 - I have only been out of the country once - to Canada, which doesn't even really count. However, I am going to Spain with James and Allison in a couple months. HOLLA!!!!

6 - I LOVE Harry Potter and LOTR. I think Twilight sucks.

7 - I love puppies. Every kind. I want a puppy really, really bad.

8 - I wrote in for Ron Paul in the last election - but am glad Obama won.

9 - I feel passionate about healthcare policy. Don't get me started or I won't stop.

10 - I love manilla colored foods the most. (Shout out to Shirk!)

11 - I love the movie You've Got Mail. I could watch it 100 times in a row and never get sick of it. It is the best night of my life when I can curl up on a rainy night and watch You've Got mail while eating popcorn.

12 - I love skiing. Love it, love it, and love it. This may not seem true since I only went 3 times this year, but I LOVE it.

13 - I can beat anyone in the world in Dr. Mario. Except Robyn Brooks or James King.

14 - If I could ride my bike everywhere I went, I would. It is currently out commission with a bent back tire.

15 - I cried when I crossed the finish line of my first triathlon. I didn't do amazing or anything - but I feel weirdly motivated by anything sporty. Also, I cried when I watched a man pull a disabled kid the entire LOTOJA course.

16 - I have the best friends of anyone in the entire world. Seriously.

17 - I want to learn to oil paint. I took a class in college and loved it.

18 - When I was little I wanted a dolphin. I drew up plans of how we could fit a tank in out backyard. I never thought anything was impossible.

19 - I hate being told no. I don't mean I hate when I don't get my way. I hate being told I can't do something.

20 - In the color code book, I am as blue as they get.

21- I most definitely sing my face off when driving alone in the car. As I approach a car on my side, I stop, but as soon as I am out of eye sight the boisterousness beings again.

22 - I am 25 years old and just finally feeling like I have my life figured out.

23 - I love NPR and talk stuff I hear on there daily.

24 - I love pearls. And white orchids. Someday when I get married, I will wear pearls and have a bouquet of white orchids.

25 - I love life. Like, I love it. I have my own tin cup, candy cane, a little cake, and a penny. (10 points for knowing what that means).
