100, plus a few more things all about me

5. If you tell me to “hurry”, I will take as long as possible.
6. Flowers and diamonds are not the way to my heart, but I will never turn them down.

17. I already have my wedding ring picked out, though I have no desire to get married anytime soon.
18. I passed out and hit my head on a desk in the eleventh grade. The reason I passed out: Isaac Hess tried to do the “sleeper hold” on me, and he did it too long.
19. I made my mom braid my hair everyday in fifth grade. If she didn’t do it the way I wanted, I would take it down and make her start over.
20. There was a time when I genuinely believed I WAS Punky Brewster.
21. My favorite foods are French Toast Pop Tarts and Mac n’ Cheese.

24. I only write with my right hand, everything else I do with my left. I can take notes and highlight at the same time. Yeah, I’m pretty talented.

34. My favorite movie is The Wizard of Oz.
35. My favorite book is Charlotte’s Web. Believe me, there is more to the story than just a “Terrific Pig.”

37. I ROCK at the “Quote Game.”

46. I only drink juice, coffee, and water. Sometimes I’ll drink tea, but it has to be peach tea.
47. I was a dancer from hell. I never bothered to learn the terminology, and I wasn’t thrilled about wearing tights with no panties…at ten years old, you don’t go anywhere without panties, especially if you’re wearing tights.
48. My second and third toes are longer than my first. My second toe is the same size as my pinky finger. I know… you’re impressed.
49. I prefer to drive alone, unless it’s for more than 4 hours. Then, I like to travel with multiple passengers.
50. In the morning I like to get dressed to Hairspray’s “Good Morning Baltimore” preferably preformed by Shoshana Bean. Then if I go out at night I like to get dressed to Rent’s “Take Me Out Tonight” preferably preformed by Daphne Rubin Vega. Yes, I like to pretend that my life is a Broadway Musical, there’s nothing wrong with that…right?

63. I’m very quiet until you get to know me.
64. I randomly drop hysterical one-liners.
65. I love to do laundry; I even separate the darks from the lights.
66. Getting dressed in the morning is stressful. I try on at least three outfits before deciding on one, then usually I end up wearing what I initially had on to begin with.
67. I don’t understand computer short hand: LMAO, LLAY, TTYL, GMAB, LDL, STD, ADHD…ok, I made some of those up. But seriously, type it out, it’s not that hard.
68. I didn’t get my drivers license until I was 17.

71. I wanted to be Madonna in the 80’s, during her “Like a Virgin” phase.

76. Every time I see a new cover of Sylvia Plath’s “The Bell Jar” I have to buy it, seriously, I have 5 copies.
77. I didn’t shave my legs my freshman year of college. It sounds bohemian, but it was actually because I didn’t like shaving in the 4 X 4 communal showers.
78. I once burned my eyelashes off while playing with matches.
79. Bigger is better.
80. I have traveled more over seas than I have in the states.
81. My cousin and I once ate burnt brownies out of a trash can. This sounds worse than what it actually was, really.

84. I have two small bruises on my cheeks right near my hair line. They have always been there.
85. I love to buy shoes, but I don’t like to wear them.
86. I thought since my older sister, Stacy Leigh’s fish was a pet that meant you could play with it. However, that was not the case, and I ended up killing it by taking it out of the tank and playing with it.

88. My favorite authors are Augusten Burroughs and David Sedaris.

90. I have had the same check book for the past three years and I still have at least fifteen checks left. I hate writing checks; I would rather use my debit card. It’s easier and faster, why would I use checks…why would anyone use checks?

99. I don’t like for the room that I sleep in to have a lot of color.

Anthropologie
Everything is simply amazing
I do, I really love them
Right now, I'm obsessed with Ingrid Michaelson and I've always loved Rilo Kiley, but their new album, Under the Black Light is particuarly amazing.
