THE 25 THINGS

There's this note going around Facebook that I'm sure y'all have seen called 25 Random Things about Me.  I love reading it around Facebook because I always find out something new about someone, and it gives a person's unique perspective on their own life.  So, here is my version:

Hope you enjoy!...krg

1. The majority of the people I call my best friends I've known since preschool/kindergarten.  I don't think we've ever had a real fight, either.

2. I've known my boyfriend of six years since he was 5 years old.  Our parent's houses are down the street from each other.  Somehow, I still like him and he is my polar opposite person. :)

3. I don't like change alot (obviously, see #1 and #2) but I picked up and moved to Charlotte without knowing many people there.  It turns out some change is good.

4. My sister is one of my favorite people in the world.  She is the perfect hybrid of being exactly like me, and nothing like me at the same time.  If you put us on the phone together, it sounds like one person talking for hours to themselves.  

5. I love all dogs.  Especially puppies.  Especially my Golden Retriever, Misty.  (and Mary's puppy, Cooper)

6. I crave vegetables and eat super healthy all the time...until you bring out any form of chocolate.

7. I take a nap everyday.   Sometimes up to three depending on the day and what time I had to work that morning!

8.  I love working out, almost any form of it.  If I miss more than two days of working out, I get cranky and anxious.  

9. I don't like people who are inconsiderate or "unaware of their surroundings", as I like to call it.  Get with the program, people!

10.  I fully appreciate the value of a good education and I am always wanting to learn more.  However, not more of the boring things such as history, physics, etc.  Moira and Adam give me my maximal dosage of those topics :)

11. My favorite pairs of shoes are my UGGs and my BCBG heels.  I wear UGGs everyday and sometimes even to work in the morning until I am forced to change into my gym shoes. 

12. Dance is the only way I am able to clear my head.  Right now is the longest I've gone without dancing and I can tell it's starting to take its toll.  I need to find some classes that fit my schedule!...and I will always love Carter School of Dance the most out of everywhere I've danced, even though I learned so much in college, and Caitlin Codd will always be my fav person to dance with!! <3>

13. I wish I was more fashionable.  That way I could fit my expensive taste into my small budget by putting together outfits myself.  

14. My goal in life is to know that somebody else's life is better because of me.  

15. I am a republican but I HATE HATE talking about politics.  I tend to take the argument too personally.

16. If my room isn't clean, I can't do any schoolwork.  I'll find 32487329 things to do besides schoolwork, instead.

17. I only have 3 radio stations on presets in my car, and I DON'T scan channels.  If I don't like any of the songs on those 3 stations, too bad, I'll just have to pick the one I hate the least.

18. I love Elon and all the friends and experiences I had there.  Good thing Elon moves to Charlotte afterward. :)

19. I wish I could sing.  Instead, I just sing at the top of my lungs with Ashley in the car, and we try to drown each other out while rocking out to our favorite song of the moment.  

20. I love my friends because they are low-maintenance.  I can call them up whenever and it won't have mattered if we haven't talked in 6 months.  They will just jump in the car and be up for a good time no matter what.

21. I don't like negative people.  But I do LOVE sarcastic people.  I can usually tell the difference.

22. I still call my mom and dad everyday and talk their ears off.  It's too bad they still live in MD, otherwise my phone bill would be alot cheaper.

23. My grandparents are some of my favorite family to spend time with.

24. I wish I looked my age, but I wish even more that people would stop telling me that I'll appreciate it when I'm 30.

25. My first job was working at a donut bakery and my current job is in a gym as a personal trainer.  IRONIC?  Also, both jobs start at 6 am...and if you know me, you know I don't function before 10am.  Somehow, I'm still employed...

...AND ONE EXTRA: I wish I traveled more, but I think tourists are obnoxious and I hate being one.  I like to explore on my own time and in my own way.
