You thought you knew ... Random things you may or may not know about me

A friend very near and dear to my heart suggested that I should try blogging to get over my fear of writing. It is in the spirit of trying out this suggestion that I intend to update this page with my thoughts and the general going ons of my life. Whether I shall be successful in this endeavour remains to be seen.

So here's a little introduction on me!

  • I am completely wholly and absolutely afraid of the dark. I can no longer sleep without the lights on, or someone else sleeping in the same room with me :)
  • I believe that “the greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return”.
  • According to me, Moulin Rouge is one of the greatest movies of all time. I went to see it 6 times in the theaters alone!
  • I believe in miracles …
  • ... meaning the Chargers WILL win the Super Bowl someday.
  • I’m very much for doing our part to slow the global warming process. Yes my friends (you know yourselves), Global Warming!
  • Although I do not own or believe I will ever own a pet, I am against animal cruelty. This includes but is not limited to animals in zoo cages and horse-drawn ‘Cinderella’ carriages anywhere but in Central Park. :)
  • Go Victory Ford!! Go Carrie Bradshow!!!!
  • To directly steal a great pal’s comment, “Music is the love of my life...I regularly cheat on him with a good book, TV or a movie but he knows his place in my heart”
  • … a good book really is a very close second. Once I find an author I love, I make it a goal to read every book they have ever written.
  • Yes, I mostly only read cheesy love stories type books. I envy my friends that can sit down and seriously read a self help title or an autobiography. I really wish I could.
  • I love romantic comedies. They have been really disappointing of late, but no matter how much I try to resist, I always end up watching them. (I guess this should tie to #3).
  • The older I get, the more I’m becoming a girl’s girl. Yes, I know, it's very disappointing for those of you that knew me growing up and heavily influenced the tomboy I was then.
  • I love Wikipedia. I know it’s not a reliable source but I use it as a reference at least twice a day.
  • I don’t know what my life was before we had internet. How did I survive?
  • I believe I’m great with directions. Who needs a GPS system when they’ve got me? ;)
  • Letting go is probably the most difficult and significant trait I will ever learn.
  • I love my siblings. Although we are not effusive about how we feel, I know that there’s nothing we wouldn’t do for each other.
  • We don’t get to chose family; which is why I am so grateful that mine worked out so well.
  • This does not represent His position in my list or life for that matter. I love the Lord with all of my heart. He has continued to watch out for me even though I disappoint so much. I love that no one can ever take that away from me.
  • I suffer from football withdrawal in the off season. Can’t believe we have another 6 months to go. Thank God for the occasional sports center updates.
  • I’ve always wanted to do a year abroad in London or Barcelona. Its beginning to look like it might not happen but I’m still holding on to hope.
  • Someday, I am going to go cold turkey on booze. SOME DAY.
