2. I am almost always hot (temperature hot….not “hot” hot)
3. I get headaches a lot.
4. I hate onions and mayonnaise.
5. I don’t like working out but I do it 4 times a week anyway because if I didn’t I’d blow up like a balloon.
6. I love to read and can read an entire book in one sitting.
7. I love to write but I don’t do it enough because if it’s not spectacular then I give up.

9. All my other friends are guys because girls are evil.
10. I am the youngest of 6 kids, all of which are half to me. My dad had 2 sons in previous marriage, my mom had 2 daughters and a son from a previous marriage. My parents then got married and had me. I tease that I’m the only “real” kid in the family.
11. I was never spoiled being the youngest (like everyone assumes) but I was always treated fairly.
12. My sister closest to me in age hated me when I was born because she wasn’t the baby anymore. She tried to flip me over in my little baby swing so I’d fall out and die. She is evil.

14. I yell at people in other cars while I’m driving.
15. I don’t like to procrastinate.

35. I love to camp.
36. When people first meet me, they think I don’t like them because I’m not overly friendly and don’t talk a lot. That’s me observing.
37. My friends are amazed at how I know every random song that comes on the radio, as well as the not-so-random ones. I can learn the words to a song after hearing it once (you’d think the bad memory thing would be a problem, but not here).
38. My family thinks I’m a hippie because of the music I like.

48. I have really short legs (I mean, not freaky short, but almost). I’m 5’3 ½” and the majority of that is my torso;)
49. Of all my friends, I’m the most logical and dependable. They always say I’m the one with my head on straight.
50. I hate confrontation, but will engage in it if it is necessary.
51. I work well under pressure.

53. Everything I’ve learned on the computer is self-taught.
54. I can speak Spanish, but only if there’s no pressure. When I feel pressured, I fumble.

Well, more than 100 things...and maybe I'll just keep adding
