90. My favorite composers are Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Mozart and Bach.
89. As a general rule, I strongly dislike Beethoven.
88. My college is super small. I think our student body is around...300 people this year? I'm not certain. Regardless, it's a great school and we're nationally recognized.
87. I'm obsessed with sweet tea, specifically sweet peach tea from Sonic. With extra ice, please!
86. I have a terrible addiction to eating ice. I literally crave it. They've tried linking it to various medical conditions.

80. I'll be leaving the US once I finish graduate school. I'll be working with Wycliffe Bible Translators as an Arts Specialist. :)
79. I really should be doing laundry and practicing the piano right now. I'm supposed to practice five hours a week...and I'm nearly out of clean clothes.
78. I'm a very shy person. It's hard for me to open up to people. I don't make friends easily, because I feel like I'm just too weird to have much in common with others.

60. My boyfriend and I have "bands of the month." I don't have one for April yet. I'm still browsing around. I think it's going to be Emery.
59. I love to read. read. read. read. I'd rather own a book than check one out from the library. Because 1.) I'm a germaphobe (as previously mentioned). I don't like people touching things I have to touch. and 2.) My books become close friends. I don't want to give them back. Thankfully my dear dad has a huge personal library. I mean HUGE. It's mostly Bible commentary and other religious books, but he has a lot of fiction, especially science fiction and fantasy, thrown in.
58. My favorite movies consist of: The Princess Bride, Star Wars (original trilogy), Pride and Prejudice, Becoming Jane, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, all of the Narnia movies, anything Tim Burton, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Oh, and as far as recent movies are concerned, I love love love Inception.
57. I'm mostly deaf in my right ear. We've yet to find out why. People often think I'm ignoring them, but I honestly just can't hear. It's super annoying, and if I could change anything about myself, that would be near the top of the list.

53. My favorite foods are bacon and cheese. I talk about how much I love those foods constantly.
52. I'm terribly unorganized.
51. Sometimes, I just like to dress up. On days when I'm feeling sick (which is about 6 days out of the week), it helps me feel...normal. Like I'm worth something.
50. I'm the chef in my school's upcoming production of the musical Cinderella. Yes, there is a chef in Cinderella. But it's a very minor roll, which I am just fine with.
49. I'm always thirsty. There are currently seven cups sitting around my bed. From: sonic, mcdonald's (2), panera, chiptotle, starbucks, and a random Duke cup with water in it.
48. Oh by the way, I'm terribly obsessed with Duke basketball. Forreal. Go Blue Devils!
47. My clothes never match.
46. I love all the smells that are dangerous: gasoline, permanent markers, exhaust fumes. Why do things that are so bad for you have to smell so good?
45. My favorite healthy scent is cotton. It smells like clean laundry!
44. I greatly enjoy road trips!
43. Random adventures with friends make me smile! And trust me, we go on a lot of them.

38. When I was little, I wanted to be a meteorologist. I still love watching the weather.
37. I've always been kind of obsessed with politics. I love listening to political commentary on talk radio. My personal policies are very conservative, but I consider myself an independent.
36. I'm really having trouble getting behind the "go green" movement. I think that we should be responsible with what God has given us, but I also believe that society is taking things way too far.
35. I'm very opinionated, but I tend to keep said opinions to myself.
34. My personality types: Melancholic-Sanguine. or INFP.
33. "Keep calm and carry on" is by far my favorite trend.
32. I love Toms and Converse.
31. My blog title came from a Mumford and Son's song. I miss my sanguine eyes, so hold my hands up. Breathe in, breathe out.
30. Lately, I've found a lot of comfort in Psalms 142 and 143.
29. I love love love thunderstorms. I hate hate hate tornadoes!
28. I love Julian Smith's videos.
27. Sometimes, I wish I lived in the 1960's. Jackie O = incredible woman.
26. I wish I could wear thrifted/vintage clothes. But once again...I'm a germaphobe.
25. My fingernails on my left hand are currently painted pale sparkly green. I never got around to painting the nails on my right hand. Sadly, this happens nearly every time I go to paint my nails.

23. My Christmas tree is still up in my room at home.
22. I have to go play handbells in about 30 minutes.
21. I don't think I have many sour tastebuds...or something. Because I can eat ridiculously sour things, and it doesn't bother me. When I was little I liked to gross people out by drinking vinegar. (I was an odd child.)
20. I've been writing stories since I was little. My mom was like my scribe, since I couldn't exactly write yet.
19. I knew my ABCs at the age of two.
18. I really want to join Mensa...but I don't think my IQ is high enough.
17. As a child I played basketball, t-ball, did gymnastics and ballet, and was a cheerleader. I also played volleyball in middle school and my freshman year of high school.

5. .I've never been to Disney World.
4. I really love the Outer Banks. It's near where my mom grew up...it's just splendid.

1. I am defined by my imperfections.
I must say that I disagree with some of these things but just because I've known you so long. :) (that probably sounds weird. I don't mean it in an offensive or bad way either.)
ReplyDeleteAnd we really need to change #5. It's just not right! ;)
Which ones don't you agree with? I'm just curious! :)
ReplyDeletehaha, i'd be glad for us to fix that!
