Leaving it Behind

Well, the tests are over and both of them went fine. So now that I have those things off my shoulders, I need to do a little "nothing." Which means I deemed in necessary to fill out the huge survey everyone's been doing lately. So here it is via Mel, via Kara, via Tara.

Instructions:

1. Copy this whole list into your journal.

2. Bold the things that you have in common with me.

3. Whatever you don't bold, replace with things about you. Take note, ALL 100 are about me, the bold ones I have in common with Mel. You bold what you have in common with me then make up new things about YOU for the rest.

Please add a comment if you do it so that I can come read it!

01. I?m not a big fan of Starbucks in general because I?m not a huge fan of espresso. Chai lattes are good.

02. I think the best sound in the world is people worshipping Jesus.

03. I like to read but it?s difficult to find time during school. Come quickly summer.

04. I?ve done a lot to change my life for the better...but Jesus has done more.

05. I love green beans if they?re not cooked. Once you cook them it?s disgusting.

06. I don?t have a job right now (and would be insane if I did), but I have the best job at home.

07. I have some regrets, but there's nothing I would change.

08. I?ve never had glasses. But I think my eyesight is slowly deteriorating. Last time I went in for a physical I had to guess on the last few letters on the chart. Good thing I guessed right.

09. I love to cook, and now that I'm at school, I do quite often.

10. I really don't like dogs... that smell. The rest of them are cute.

12. I have never been married.

13. I've never been to Bermuda.

14. I haven?t had a favorite color for many years. There are colors I like more than others, but none is my favorite.

16. I enjoy a variety of musical styles.

23. I love the smell of coffee.

24. My hair looks damn hot in Texas. Of course, last time I was in Texas I had super short hair and it was platinum blonde. I don?t know how hot it would be there now.

25. My biggest vice is lack of discipline (in certain areas).

26. I consider myself very intuitive, but I think I?m often too afraid of being wrong to follow through on it, creating the image that I?m not intuitive. Or maybe I?m always wrong and I?m not intuitive at all. If I don?t try we?ll never know will we.

35. I am tolerant of different points of view, but I don?t have to agree.

42. I live to make people laugh and smile.

46. Over the past couple of years I have really grown to love water.

47. I don?t tan. I used to when I was a kid, and now I don?t. Instead, now when we go to Hawaii I have to stay out of the sun because it will give me a heat rash. Lame.

56. I don't care about name brands for most things like food and medicine but I do for shampoo. I don?t buy it from the store. I?ve heard there are conspiracies. You also can?t buy generic mac and cheese.

57. I will never have curly hair, it?s too thick to hold anything.

58. I generally keep a cool head. I?m definitely the most even tempered out of all my roommates. I usually only freak out about stupid things, not things I should actually be concerned over.

59. I am not a member of the mile high club. Honestly I?m not even sure what the mile high club is.

60. I always know the location of my keys and purse except when I forget to put my keys back on the hook and keep them in my purse or backpack. That throws me off.

63. I overreact about things sometimes.

64. I try to surround myself with really great people.

77. I always have to have chapstick somewhere accessible to me. I freak out if my lips don't feel nice and lubricated.

78. My bra and panties are never a matched set. Who's going to see them!

80. I love my family. They're crazy sometimes, but I love them.
