16 Random things I know you're dying to know about me.

Rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 16 random things, facts, habits or goals about you. If I tagged you, its because I want to know more about you.

1. I eat weird food, and it’s only gotten worse since my grandpa had triple bypass heart surgery. Now it’s ONLY egg whites instead of one yolk and two whites.

2. I am, and always will be homesick for Yosemite. I’m jealous of lifers (they live and work in a national park their whole lives), because I only got to work there for 7 months.

3. I have talked seriously about marriage with six guys, and I’m still single. I don’t know if that makes me creepy, cool, or just a psychological mess. Probably all three.

4. I am addicted to moving! I used to move every 5 months, but I actually lived in one place (not just the same city, but the same house) for a whole year, ending in Aug. 2007. It was hard, but I feel like I’ve accomplished something.

5. Cookie dough is SO much better than baked cookies.

6. I am afraid of heights, IF it’s something manmade that could break any second. I barely made it on the tiny dino rollercoaster at the county fair!

7. I have had more than 50 roommates! Living with family is so nice after the girl drama (not that I didn't have some great roommies).

8. My cousin Michael describes my music as “the Mormon Tabernacle Choir with a little Josh Groban to mix it up.” Too true.

9. I’m much too opinionated about politics. I voted for Obama, so shoot me! I actually found that my cousin’s wife did too, so I’m not alone in the world.

10. If I get sick, it’s something weird: Mono when I’m supposed to be too old to get it, Rosecia something something, which the doctor had only seen once before… What’s next?

11. My biggest fear is being "normal" and boring, living a burnt out life. So far the normal hasn't happened, whew.

12. I love hiking, but don’t always plan ahead: no flashlight/food in the dark, one water bottle for 5 kids in 100+ degrees, not telling anyone where I was going and hiking alone, etc. I’m getting better I swear!

13. I’m loving Picasa 3, and I’m sad for people who don’t yet have a Facebook account. How do you find old friends with out it?

14. My favorite temple in the world is the Provo Temple. Am I the only one?

15. I like to watch movies that most people turn off after two seconds. Not because they’re gross, but because they’re either strange, or documentaries about social ills. My cousins would ask, “Is this a Carrie movie?” before consenting to watch one with me.

16. Right now I’m reading “The Real George Washington” and “War and Peace” so I can feel “educated.”

My war face with a peace sign.









17. I just thought of an extra one: I struggle between wanting to live a simple life with litle money, and wanting to be rich, traveling the world.
