Get to Know ME

This is exciting.  If you've made it to this page, then that must mean that you want to learn more about the wonderful writer of this blog.  I work best with lists, so here I go:


1.  I love books.  I don't think anyone can own too many!
2.  I especially love the classics.  One of my favorite is The Count of Monte Cristo. Yay for revenge!
3.  I laugh at anything and everything.  Usually when no one else is laughing.
4.  Music is always on as background noise on my computer.  It can put me in any mood I want it to.
The Count of Monte Cristo
5.  My favorite music right now is One Direction, Snow Patrol, The Killers, Brandon Flowers, and so many various others.  Usually, I don't even know what I'm listening to, but I love it.
6.  I like frozen potato products.
7.  I am majoring in English (for now) with an emphasis in literary studies and a minor in math. I briefly considered switching to engineering so I could become a rocket scientist or an astronaut.
8.  I'm confused about my life right now.
9.  I love homework.  I miss it when I don't have it.
10.  I really like writing papers.  It excites me.
11.  I'm really shy.  The only reason I can be so honest on this blog is because I didn't share it with anyone I know.  Except my mom.  I even hide it from my twin sister.
12.  I'm a fraternal twin.
Novak Djokovic.
13.  I love Novak Djokovic.  He's the #1 men's tennis player in the world.
14.  I'm LDS (or Mormon).  I love it, but most of the time, I'm just trying to figure it all out.
15.  I pour my milk in the bowl before my cereal.  People seem to think that's really weird.  And the TV remote is not called a switcher by anyone but me...apparently....
16.  My roommate pointed out that I say Halloween wrong.
17.  I am a major creeper.  I like to cyber stalk.  Like if I had a crush on me, I would have already found this secret blog.  I'm that good.
18.  I love watching movies.  Chick flicks are my favorite.  But I love The Count of Monte Cristo and other non-chick flicks.
19.  I love Indians.  Not Native Americans, but the actual people from India.  I think they're awesome, and I find them very attractive.  I will go to India one day.
20.  I also occasionally listen to Bollywood music and pretend I'm at an Indian wedding.
21.  My favorite number is 72, but I don't think I'll make it that far in my list.
22.  I love the color green.  It just seems smart.  And lucky.
23.  I love doing math problems.  Sometimes I make up my own and solve them in my head for fun.
24.  I love Gilmore Girls, Sherlock, and Downton Abbey.  I can get addicted to any TV show if I start to care about one or two characters.
25.  I'm a germaphobe and hypochondriac.  If I hear about a disease, I automatically freak out that I might possibly have it because I have had that one symptom that one time when I was 12.
26.  I'm kind of OCD.  I can't end this list on a number that doesn't end with 5 or 0.
27.  I love overcast days.  Thunderstorms excite me and rain makes me happy.
28.  I believe in all that superstitious stuff.  I even bought a bracelet because it brings long life and luck.  Plus it has an elephant on it.
28.  I love elephants.  I think when their trunks are up, it's good luck.  If that's not true, I don't want to know.
29.  Every time it's windy outside, I feel like it's the winds of change.  There's my English major coming through.
30.  I kind of feel narcissistic writing all this stuff about myself.
31.  I come across as a negative and cynical person sometimes, but I really don't think I am.  It's confusing.
32.  Sometimes I talk to my cat on the phone.
33.  I really don't know what I want to be when I grow up.
34.  I really am a people person.  I live for the people around me, even though I'm shy at first.  Once people get to know me, though, there's no going back.
35.  I'm quirky, (or maybe just weird, you decide) and I love to make fun of myself.  I also like to think that I'm witty.

These 35 things are all very true, but if you really want to get to know me, go read my blog!
