* You don't know me*

Well there is really no real reason for this post, except for ya all to get to know the real me a little better, and fine out things about me that most people don't know.

1- I love greeting cards. I could spend hours in the card isle reading card after card, laughing to myself, and finding complete enjoyment in them. I often get strange looks from other people on the card isle from my random outbursts of laughter.

2- Tetris. I am unhealthily addicted to Tetris. In my yearbook class in High School we would have Tetris tournaments, this is where my addiction began. I absolutely love playing it and have wasted a lot to many hours playing it. I once even told Amy that the reason I enjoy bagging groceries is because it's like Tetris in real life. She told me I am a nerd. (But she knows that's why I am good at bagging!)

3- I hate celery. Everything about it, the taste, the smell, the texture, even the thought of it. About the only good thing it has going for it is its color and the fact that you burn more calories by chewing it than by eating it. These two things are not reason enough for me to actually eat it. The smell of it makes me gag, and the thought of it makes me want to hurl! Some of my friends know how much I hate celery. One time one of them even told me if we got married things wouldn't work out. I asked him why and he said very snidely that when he grows up he is going to be a celery farmer... What a nerd!

4- I love Disney. Disneyland, Disney World, Disney Movies I love it all! #1 Disney movie ever made, (in my opinion of course) Toy Story, hands down. It's my all time favorite movie and I could watch it again and again. I have a secret crush on Woody and don't really know why.

5- I am a sucker.... for Daisies that is! My favorite is the classic daisy with the yellow middle and the white petals. But, I love all daisies and my heart melts every time I see them. Corny, Yes! But anyone who wants to gain a little respect from me, Daisies are the way, I'll be your friend until forever!

6- Nerds. People often make fun of them, but I myself am one when it comes to history. I love history, mostly American history. My dream vacation would be to Washington D.C. for about a month to visit all the historical stuff around. My favorite thing to watch is well made historical documentaries, and I love historical fiction. Nerd? Yes!

7- I'm a very trusting person and usually give people the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes this results in me be taken advantage of because people know I will help them, but I guess that's just how some people are.

8- I have a hard time saying no to people. This usually results in me getting overloaded with stuff then stressing out. People who really know me know I have this problem and are very forgiving.

9- I have an issue with my right ankle. When I was in ninth grade I pretty much broke it during a box-out drill at basketball practice. Now every time I move it, it pops. I use this for personal entertainment by popping it when I am sitting by Amy or Shauna because they think it is so gross.

10- I love singing and dancing like a mad woman. (my family can attest to this.)

11- I am shy. Most people who know me say that this is a lie, but the truth is that when I don't know anyone I am extremely quiet. But, once I get to know people I come out of my shell, it just takes me a time or two to warm up to people.

12- My favorite treat while doing homework is a Popsicle. That's right some good ol' fashioned frozen juice, but I won't attest to a Jamba either.

Well for the time being those are a few things that now you know that you may not have known. Hope you enjoyed a few tidbits of me and look forward to more to come in the future.

Also, celery is disgusting.
