25 things.

This has been going around facebook like it's going out of style. I did my 25 things on facebook, but since i'm bored, i'm typing up a whole new list with [hopefully] better things.


1. Ever since I was little I have always had something to commit my time to. From age three to 7th grade I did ballet, from 8th grade to 10th grade I did swing dancing and from 9th grade to 11th grade I did colorguard. Now that I don't have a specific activity to devote my time to, I feel really inactive and sluggish. I miss every one of those activities, but in all honesty, I'm afraid of doing things like that again. Since I gave all of them up I'm afraid that i'll start it, and then just when I get caught up in it again something inside of me tells me no.

2. I use music as a substitution for conversation a lot of the time. This especially rings true when I am with a group of people. I hate talking when there is more than one person around because there is always someone trying to talk over me. So instead I have a conversation with the music, about the music, or just listen to the music so no one talks.

3. I hate serious eye contact. It makes me feel nervous. Chances are you will barely ever find me looking at your eyes when you speak to me. I always , no matter what, look at someone's mouth.

4. I have been biting my nails since the day I found out how to use my teeth and stick my fingers in my mouth. It's a really bad habit and gets even worse when i'm nervous or excited. Speaking of fingers..my thumb on my right hand is significantly shorter than the thumb on my left hand. It's shorter, fatter and the nail is very tiny. I was born that way, so I didn't chop it off, push it in, or do a thumb stand. I really hate it and can become very self-conscious about it.

5. Over the past few years music has become a huge part of my life. Jesus saved me through it, so it's very meaningful to me. I hate music that is too commercialized. I can't stand Casting Crowns and Mercy Me. Music that makes the wheels in my brain start turning and makes me think and sets a fire inside my veins is what I love.

6. It has taken me a year and a half to complete my senior year of high school. I didn't plan for it to be that way, but it did. When I think long and hard about the fact that I could already be in college it makes me wish I was still in public school. It's made me anxious and ready to start college.

7. I hate where I live with a passion. Port St. Lucie is a place where old people come to retire and roam free. It has nothing for me and I have nothing for it. After living here for the 18 years of my whole life, it just gets uglier and more depressing than it was the day before.

8. Two years ago I knew that I wanted to work in the music industry. As the days have gone by God has made it more lcear to me that He wants me to be a road manager for a band. I've had people tell me over and over again that they think i'll be great at it, which gives me the push that I need. I've also had people tell me that i'm the wrong person for the job. When people say things like that it only makes me want it that much more.

8. I get cold really easily and I am cold almost all the time. Since I live in Florida, I actually love the cold. Despite how much you see me talking about how cold I am. Don't think I hate it, because I really don't. :-)

9. The sound of my kitty cats purr is relaxing to me and puts me to sleep almost every night. That little black ball of fur is Heaven sent. <3

10. Almost every time I move some bone in my body cracks. I love when my back, hips and knees pop. It feels really amazing. Whenever I walk the bones in my feet always crack and they make music.

11. I love sweet tea and love imitating people with horrible southern accents and the way they say "Sweet or unsweet?"

12. I have a big family and love it most of the time, but it's taken a lot of adjusting. Even though my step-sister and I have become extremely close, we still need our space and alone time. I need time for just myself every day, or I can become really unpleasant to be around.

13. I have atleast one or two days during the week where I do absolutely nothing and I enjoy every second of it.

14. The place where I feel most comfortable is at a concert hanging out with my favorite artists. The only real way to enjoy a concert is if you are in the front row. I've experienced this first hand. Otherwise, it's just boring.

15. I don't normally ever have a problem with bugs, but spiders and bees/wasps just scare the life out of me. I have a scare on my right forearm from a wasp sting that I accidentally pushed into my arm a few years ago.

16. Math has always been my worst subject. I don't get anything about it. I probably have a math level of a first grader. I don't even remember how to divide. It's that bad.

17. The outdoors is amazing. I would rather hangout outside then be inside any day. I love camping..everything about it!

18. I think I am perfectly proportioned in every way. There is no part of my body that is bigger or smaller than the other and I am thankful for that.

19.I hate spending money. I like to know that whatever I spend my money on will be totally worth it in the end.

20. I love photography, and want a very very nice camera at some point in the future.

21. I have some of the greatest friends ever. Near and far, you know who you are.

22. My favorite color is pink. I have a pink phone and two pink cameras. Half of my wardrobe is pink. That's not an exaggeration.

23. I drink 8 glasses of water a day and love it!

24. I have a lot of shoes and heels that I only wear on occasion. I only wear three pairs of shoes on a regular basis. Flip flops, converse and a pair of flats.

25. Jesus is everything to me and nothing or no one can tear me away from Him.
