101 things about me. . . **UPDATED**

So Since I am very bored, and I don't write about me very often I decided to make a post with 101 things about me. :) Enjoy!!!

So, I thought of a few more:
*When I drive over train tracks I take my feet off the pedals so that I don't slow or accelerate.

*One time a tie on my pants was sticking out my car door and hitting the side of my car and me and my sisters were convinced there was a hobo in the trunk.

*When I drive through a yellow light I kiss my hand and hit the roof of my car, even if I am not driving and have done it for years and don't notice until a someone points it out to me.

*I got my hair caught on a hanger at a department store once and my mom was so embarrassed she abandoned me.

*When I am driving I yell at people who don't use their blinkers and get extremely frustrated with people who drive slower than the speed limit.

*I love roller blading.

*I love fishing but hate to eat them and feel bad when they die because they swallow the hook before I can release them.

*I don't like to touch raw meat so I never cook it, I have become kind of a vegetarian unless someone else makes the meat, then I will eat it.

*I love jell-o.

*I love Veggie Tales!!!

*I feel naked without my cell phone.

*I carried mace in my pocket, per my mothers instruction, when I went to New York and actually pulled it out once when I got lost in an ally in times square and there was a group of guys huddled by some crates.

*I have a reoccurring nightmare that I have had since I was 6 and the last time I had it was three weeks ago.

*I don't like ice cream!

*I can fall asleep anywhere, in any position, and I sleep like a rock.

1. I have four sisters and one brother (who could count for a few). And we all get along really well, and are so different that it keeps things interesting.

2. I was born July 24th. Which is Pioneer day in Utah (the day Pioneers settled in Utah) There are fireworks and everything and until I turned 11 I thought that fireworks were to celebrate my birthday and it was because we were in Oregon that year and there were no fireworks. I was very sad and cried because nobody in Oregon knew it was my birthday.

3. I love music and singing. Even though I don’t have that great of a singing voice.

4. At one time or another I have played piano, banjo, clarinet, bass clarinet, penny whistle, flute, and the jaw harp.

5. I spent three weeks in New York the summer after I graduated from High School and saw nine Broadway plays including Wicked (BEST SHOW EVER), and Gypsy (with my hero Bernadette Peters on her closing night so she gave a speech afterward). I want to go back to New York so bad!!

6. I eat my food in circles. Well, anything that you eat with your hands so the outside gets eaten first and my last bite is from the very center.

7. I count stairs as I go up or down them.

8. I LOVE cooking for other people. However, when I am by myself I just use the microwave. :)

9. I’m shy unless I know you.

10. I have an irrational fear of spiders, and scorpions. I guess I really just hate all creepy crawlies. I am getting chills just thinking of them. Although I did save worms when I was in elementary school, I would pick them off the blacktop and put them in the grass on rainy days. (GROSS, I can’t believe I touched worms!!!!!!!)

11. I have changed my major at least 15 times since I started college. One of those majors was aviation science in which I passed the entrance exam (still have no idea how I did that) and got to fly a plane with an instructor and that is when I realized that I have a fear of heights. :)

18. I broke my thumb in ninth grade while skiing with my dad, but didn't get x-rays for another two weeks even though I was in excruciating pain and couldn't use my hand. I haven’t been skiing since.

19. I got a presidential student service award when I was 17 for raising guide dogs pups.

20. My grandpa was my dentist until he passed away and now my uncle (g-pa’s son) is my dentist.

21. I was a drama freak in High School and was cast as Snoopy in You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown because my drama teacher thought that I could get inspiration from Prudy who I was raising at the time. I also played Clairee in Steel Magnolias which was one of my favorite roles.
