Betcha Didn't Know...

1. Life size posters scare me. Even if their name is Jacob Black. I just don't think they should exist. Maybe this has something to do with the fact that one time when I was babysitting I saw a big man in the little boy's room. So like a mature person I asked Peter Warner to go upstairs with me when I turned on the light to see stupid Anakin staring at me.
2. Speaking of Star Wars...I've never seen any of them. I didn't think this was that rare until I was the only one in my English class that couldn't write a paper drawing similarities between star wars and the essay we had just read. So my teacher gave me a different topic comparing The Wizard of Oz to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Well I hadn't seen that movie either. So she gave me a take home essay. By the way I hated The Wizard of Oz. Mabe that's a movie you should watch for the first time before you're 17.
3. I don't have my credit card number memorized and I've had it for years, but hey I just barely got my social security number down. My library card number? Oh yeah, I had that one down years a go.
4. I have this thing with quarter vending machines. Arent they awesome? I'm not talking about the tattoo, sticker, bouncy ball machines I'm talking about candy. Not Mike & Ikes, Hot Tamales or Runts. Reese's pieces, any form of M&M's, and big fat gumballs. Word of advice: The older the machine is the more it gives you. Caution: They older the machine is the older the candy is. (sometimes.)
5. I absolutely hate commercials where babies are talking. They creep me out. As long as we're on this subject... I hate movies where animals talk. Just like my cousin Barbara. But unlike cousin Barbara I think that the movie is fine if the animals are animated and talking, but if they're real then that's just weird.
6. I hate Jeans. So much. This is why I don't get dressed for the day until I absolutely have to. It's also why I had to make a rule for myself that I can't get into my pajamas until 8. 7 on Sundays.
7. Sometimes when I can't sleep I get out of my bed and on the floor and I fall asleep.
8. I've been grounded once. I was 19. Don't think I'm a goody-goody and I've just never been in trouble. Truth is grounding me wouldn't have been much of a punishment...it's called reading! True punishment came in the form of "extra jobs."
9. I hate showers. Don't worry I still shower daily, but I do NOT like it.
10. I leave for Jerusalem in 9 days! Okay so you probably all knew that since that's all I ever talk about. But can you blame me?

Twenty Songs

So a few years a go I saw people doing this on Facebook, but I was too embarrassed of my immature music taste to post my results so I did it again and I'm posting it here. I'm still embarrassed, but you're close friends and family so I don't really care. My I-pod was on shuffle and these were the twenty songs that came up. I included the albums in some cases because that made more sense.

1. I Love Life - Melissa Lefton - Princess Diaries Soundtrack. (Oh dear, I'm off to a bad start.)
2. He Danced with Me - The Slipper and the Rose
3. Almost Honest - Josh Kelley
4. It's Raining Men - The Weather Girls (I honestly have no idea how that got there.)
5. Leningrad - William Joseph
6. The World Will Know - Newsies
7. Dawn - Pride and Prejudice (Dumb movie. Awesome soundtrack.)
8. Perfectly - Huckapoo - Pixel Perfect (This is the embarrassing stuff I was talking about.)
9. Close Every Door - Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
10. Two Worlds Finale - Phil Collins - Tarzan
11. Forever - Chris Brown (See I'm cool...)
12. Sympathy - Goo Goo Dolls - A Cinderella Story
13. Move Along - The All-American Rejects
14. Don't Ask me Why - Billy Joel
15. Dancing Queen - Abba - Mamma Mia
16. Home - Michael Buble
17. Joy to the World - Kurt Bestor (Wow I need to go through my ipod...)
18. Too Good is True - Rascal Flatts
19. Stick to the Status Quo - High School Musical
20. Indiana - Jon McLaughlin

So when people ask me what kind of music I like to listen to and I say I don't really have a set group, you know what I'm talking about. So what are your 20 random songs?

Now what?



So I just told you about all my awesome siblings. If you're not jealous then you did something wrong. Click on the link to the right titled "Sibling Series", read those posts, and try and tell me you're not jealous.

That's what I thought. Now my siblings are only part of my family. I didn't write about any of my awesome in-laws, adorable neice/nephews, amazing mom, or awful cousins. Just kidding I don't have awful cousins - I just couldn't think of another A adjective.

So where do I go from here? My blogging has had a structure, an idea. Now it will just be whatever. We'll see how long that lasts before I get a new idea or leave the country and write about those adventures.
