11 Random Facts About Me

As I'm trying to make myself write my capstone (I'm 7 pages in! 18 more to go!), I've been itching to write a blog post. Not that I have anything interesting to say (because I never do) but just because it's something that is not my capstone. So I thought that I would make myself thing a bit and come up with a random list of things about me. :)

1. Breakfast foods are my favorite. Not sweet things like doughnuts, I could never eat them for breakfast. More like eggs and pancakes and waffles (hold the butter and just a little syrup). I'm not really big on the meat involved with breakfast but I love to have bacon every now and then.

2. I'm really not a big dark meat person (I mean like beef and pork... as if you couldn't tell from #1). My family makes a living off of growing cows so that beef can be made, but I don't really like it. I like chicken ok and turkey sandwich meat and I like fish a lot, but that's as far as it goes.

3. If you give me spaghetti, you better have milk. For this reason, I rarely order anything with marinara sauce on it at restaurants.

4. I am the World's Best at procrastination. I always get stuff done by the time it needs to be done, but I push it to the last minute.

5. I cannot sleep when I'm uncomfortable. Funny thing is, Seth is the opposite: if he's uncomfortable, he sleeps. Last summer we went camping in July. I stayed up and thought about how miserable I was all night long while he snored away. I feel bad about this because Seth loves camping. Thank you Texas heat.

6. I motivate myself with restrictions, not positive goals. (i.e. I run so I don't get fat, not because I want to be healthy. When I need to study, my goal is to not get on Facebook or blog, not to get through my notes X number of times.)

7. In my free time, I would much rather spend time with people than watch movies, read a book, or other solitary-ish things. For this reason, I always want to talk during movies (not in the theater) and I don't really try to start books. Also, there are a lot of movies/books that I haven't seen/read. I promise that I love to read, I'm just a very social being.

8. I am a planner to the core. I'm constantly thinking about organization or booking our next plane tickets. It is good in a lot of instances (because plane tickets are generally cheaper early on) but I have 4 calendars, so it may be an addiction.

9. I struggle hardcore with what people think of me. It is strange because I actually feel comfortable with who I am, but I am always looking for ways to improve in areas in which I'm weak (like communication, judgement, being positive). So I look to the judgement of others, not because I want to be who they want me to be, but because I want to see if I'm improving in these weak spots I've identified. Kind of like opposite day. :)

10. I'm terrible at truly forgiving. If someone lies to me, hurts me, or angers me, I will never let them reach the level that they were once at in our relationship. I can be civil and still be friends with them, but I will never truly trust them again. This is one area that I've been praying God will help me with. I know how important it is to forgive as a Christian and I'm just not quite there.

11. I hate shopping. Pretty much all of it. I hate spending money and more than anything I hate the kind of shopping where you just look. It just makes you want things and then you don't get them. I think this violates some girl rule.

There you go! 11 random things about that you probably would never need to know but now you do! I guess I could add a #12. I blog way too much and too long. But I think that goes with out saying (which is why I just said it).

I hope you all are enjoying your summer! Only 5 1/2 weeks left if you are a TWU-er so live it up!
