1. I can never sleep unless G is with me and he has to be to work at 7 am, which means that I get up when he gets up..which is at 5:50.
2. I am such a wuss. I get so afraid of everything. I hate being alone, especially being home alone & I always freak myself out because I hear noises, creaks, furnaces, you name it. I would never, ever, ever, in a million years even attempt to sleep at my house alone. Ever.
3. When I was a senior in High School a man tried to come into my bedroom at night. He woke me up when he climbed into my window well. I think this might be the reason for #2.
4. I love to write poetry. I have journals and journals and journals packed full of poems I have written throughout the years.
5. I never let anyone read any poetry I write.
6. I love quotes. I have a quote journal as well.
7. I love to zone off...I am a big daydreamer. I love the quiet. I get startled so easily because I am always off in la la land.
8. I really like snakes. My 1st grade teacher had a snake, and I have loved them ever since. I have owned 2..fuego & snake. However, there is nothing I hated more than feeding the tiny baby mice to the snakes..that was awful.
9. I hate cracking. It freaks me out. I hate it when people crack themselves in my presence. Most of my family & friends know this and resist, but the worst is when I am sitting next to someone in class and all of the sudden they crack their shoulders, or their neck...I literally have to turn away and plug my ears (so as not to puke) I'm sure they think I am a freak, but I can't stomach it. I have tried so many times.
10. I love to paint my fingernails bright colors (like red and black) and then pick all the polish off. I seem to do this most while we are sitting in church. G thinks it's ridiculous because a) I am getting the polish flakes everywhere and b) now my fingernails look like crap.
11. I am addicted to lotion.
12. I love reality television. I love the drama.
13. I have the biggest sweet tooth in the world. I always want to order dessert. I would skip dinner to get to dessert if I had to.
14. I worry a lot.
15. If I am ever alone in my house (day or night) both the front & back door will be locked and the alarm will be set. So don't mess with me people!
16. Since I have been married, the only calling I have received is to teach the sunbeams (in both wards). I don't mind, I love that age!
17. I have known most of my friends for a very long time. I am not good at making friends anymore. I have had the same best friend for 13 yrs.
18. I sing in the shower. And in the car. And all the time.
19. My favorite thing is a southwest chicken wrap & sweet potato corn chowder from Citrus.
20. I rock at Speed. I can beat you.
21. Most days, I give myself about 15 minutes to get ready...and that is usually all I need. I once had a girl describe my hair as "perfectly disheveled" (?) She said it was supposed to be a compliment..I wasn't so sure.
22. I have very tiny veins. They are too small and too wiggly to draw blood from. If I need to get my blood drawn I have to go to Primary Children's hospital and have a "pick-line nurse" (sp?) do it. A pick line nurse is a nurse that is trained to draw blood from premature babies.
23. I really like real estate. I was licensed when i was 18.
24. When it comes to school, I am a slacker. I miss class all the time and procrastinate pretty much everything. I never do the reading or go above and beyond at all. I have always been like that and somehow still always maintained an A- or B+ average. I think that I am very lucky when it comes to school, because i seriously don't deserve the grades I get. I don't even buy the books.
25. In High school, everyone called me J-Mo. Most of my friends still do.
26. My dream is to write a novel.
27. Speaking of dreams..I always remember at least 3 to 4 dreams every night. I love to dream. If I am in the middle of a great dream and I wake up, I can get up, go to the bathroom, walk around, go back to bed and finish my dream right where I left out. To me, they are like books.
28. I usually have 3-4 spoons in each one of my purses. I am always grabbing yogurts and eating them on the go. Every now and then G will make me clean out all my purses because we are running low on spoons. We usually find at least 10 wrapped up in napkins.
29. I rarely cry...Maybe 2 0r 3 times a year, tops. When I do cry, it lasts for hours, because I always bottle up my emotions.
30. I park illegally almost every single day (at school). I do not get tickets. I cannot tell you my secret, though, because then I might be ruined!
31. I like words. I like to use un-used words in conversations. The other day, G told me he has never met anyone who says "Divine" as much as I do. The girls I work with always tell me I talk like a grandmother.
32. I have a hard time with moderation, I tend to fall into one extreme or the other.
33. For example, at any given time in my life I am either a) Not working out one little bit, not even a crunch or push-up...nada OR b) working out like an insane person. Spending hours running, sometimes going twice a day and obsessing about my work-outs all day long.
34. I love art. Some of my favorite childhood memories are getting art lessons from my grandma in her basement.
35. I don't talk in my sleep, but I do scream in my sleep. This is because I always have nightmares.
36. A few days ago, I was stopped at a light & there was a homeless man outside of my window. I felt bad because I didn't have any cash, so I handed him a yogurt & a spoon (as mentioned before, I ALWAYS carry a yogurt and a spoon). G seemed to think that was hilarious.
37. I am more comfortable in high heels or boots than I am in flip flops. I can't walk in flip flops.
38. I have a nickname for everyone and everything. Usually more than 1. If you are a family member or a friend---I have a nickname for you. You may not know what it is, but it exists!
39. I always have nightmares that involve me being chased or murdered.
40. I used to play Piano, I even competed and such. I quit. Twice.
41. I also used to dance. Quitting that is one of my biggest regrets.
42. I wish I had a sister, but my sister-in-laws are great.
43. I count my 4 brothers as one of my biggest blessings. I love them so much & I have more fun with my brothers than anyone.
44. I am great at doing exactly what I don't need to be doing & avoiding everything I should be doing. It's almost like I need to be in a time crunch to really get things done.
45. I think being kind is more important than anything else.
46. I missed seminary over 40 times my Senior year of High school and still graduated. I have no idea how. My Mom & I weren't sure if I would be, so she went into the graduation first to see if my name was on the program. It was.
47. I missed class a million times too. I loved High school, but I loved sleeping more.
48. That makes me sound like I don't care about grades. I do. I still graduated with a 3.8.
49. If I am upset, I go for a drive. I have several routes that I take. Somehow, the combination of driving & blasting music in my car seem to make me feel better.
50. I have been pulled over about 8 times. Usually for speeding.
51. I have only received 2 tickets.
52. None of which, are still on my record.
53. I still consider myself to be a good driver...just an impatient one.
54. I can forge anything. I am a master at forging signatures. I don't think my Mom signed one thing for me since 6th grade. (she knew about this, mind you). I also always remember what peoples signatures look like. Even if I only see them once.
55. I loved sneaking out in High School.
56. These last few are making me sound pretty hard-core. I am not that hard-core.
57. I have never tried alcohol or any form of drug. See? Not hard-core.
58. I love taking care of others. If I could have stomached the blog & guts, I would have been a nurse, but I cant.
59. I have tiny nails. Whenever I get a manicure, the lady ALWAYS comments about them.
60. Some more nicknames: Belly, Sicca, J, Bozybon, Boon, James, Moffy, Moffitt.
61. My favorite subject in school was creative writing.
62. I really lucked out when it came to marrying G. I am glad I snatched him up before he realized just how much cooler than me he is!
63. I am addicted to cooking shows. More specifically, Iron Chef, Paula Deen, Everyday Italian & Bobby Flay.
64. I have met Michael J. Fox & I have Zac Efron's phone number (don't ask) for all you crazy HSM fans!
65. My major is Elementary Education. I want to teach 2nd grade. I have always wanted to be a teacher.
66. Other jobs I thought about: news anchor, Oprah (jk), author, psychiatrist, counselor.
67. I am far-sided. Slightly.
68. I always get stomach aches & headaches
69. I admire my friends and family so much.
70. I love being around people and learning more about them.
71. I love to laugh & I am extremely silly.
72. My Dad is 6'7" & my Mom is 5'9"--when I was little, everyone used to always tell me that I was going to be "SO TALL" when I grew up! Eventually, I started to freak out about it because I didn't want to be a bean pole, so I would pray that I wouldn't be tall. My family always makes fun of me when I complain about being the shortest in the family because "I got what I asked for!"
73. I have a very nagging conscience. The first time I ever told a lie, I went upstairs and threw up immediately after. That's how bad I felt.
74. I love cards. I am always shuffling them and fiddling with them. I don't even need someone to play with, I have tons of card games I play all by myself.
75. I have always loved to work. I started working before all of my friends just because I thought it would be "so fun". Now, I know better.
76. I am extremely clumsy. My Mom always calls me "dropsy"
77. The most common noise you would have heard if you grew up in my house is me falling down the stairs.
78. I am extremely sarcastic.
79. I love my families ability to laugh at and with each other. We have so much fun together.
80. I feel much older than I am.
81. I hate it when people comment about mine and my husbands age difference.
82. I cant wait to be a Mom. I hope I am a good one.
83. I love to decorate, but I can't figure out how to "decorate on a dime". I am not very crafty & don't like the way things look when I do them myself.
84. In my circle of friends, I am the one who is always throwing the get-togethers.
85. I am also the one who gives advice.
86. When it comes to shopping, I am a bargain hunter. The only thing I will spend a decent amount of money on is jeans. Shirts are so trendy, so I won't pay much for them, but jeans can last for years. A good pair of jeans is essential. Whenever I find a pair, I just have to buy them, because I feel like passing up a perfect-fitting pair of jeans is the biggest mistake!! I have way too many.
87. I have always been an animal lover. I can't watch or read about animal torture. I think anyone who abuses animals is evil.
88. Whenever I take the color test I am yellow/red or I.D. Yellow is outgoing & fun loving. Red is dominant & bold.
89. When I was little, I used to play "receptionist" for fun.
90. I am becoming more and more like my Mom everyday and that is fine with me.
91. I like sports, growing up I played soccer, Jr. Jazz basketball and softball.
92. I think plucking hurts more than waxing.
93. My day never goes right unless I make my bed and a "to-do list" every morning.
94. I was "madly in love" with G about 5 minutes into my first conversation with him. Not really, of course, because I don't believe in love at first sight. But it sure felt that way.
95. I am not good at making dinner every night, because I only like to cook if I am going all-out, but who can afford to make a gourmet dinner every night? Therefore, its either pbj's or prime rib at my house. I need to learn to cook normal, everyday meals.
96. My favorite time of the day is early morning when my pups do their morning stretches & yawns and then come to cuddle with me.
97. I love it when women tell me my husband is handsome, because I totally agree.
98. I went to every high school dance but 2 or 3.
99. I can't believe I finally made it to 100!
100. I love my life right now.
You have way too much time on yours hands - and I do, too, because I read all of them!!! And I take personal offense to the comment about not being able to make new friends.
ReplyDeleteUh, I must have way too much time too. I want to know what my nickname is!! :)
ReplyDeleteZac Efron's phone number WHAT?! Im obsessed with him...mainly b/c of Link in Hairspray.
ReplyDeleteIm the same with the nightmare thing by the way-I swear I wake up screaming a few times a week!
wow! admittedly I skimmed it, but a thorough skim, and loved it, divinely. I am totally red/yellow too.
ReplyDeletepretty sure I knew most of those things about you,I think there were 2 or 3 I did not know, I feel so special!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you like Iron Chef too. Todd thinks it is weird that I like to watch it so much. That is all. Oh and I love you. Bye
ReplyDeleteJessica - It's Annie Karren from your ward . . . I found your link on Chelsea's - you know the drill. Anyway - LOVED this 100 facts about you! Love the way you write - and loved to find out fun facts about you. I think we're destined to be friends. I'm a total worry-wart, can't sleep w/o my husband, can't handle blood/guts, missed a million days in high school, love to drive fast, etc. etc. Hope you don't mind me creeping your blog. :) You crack me up.
