25 Things

This is me caving into peer pressure.

Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

1. I used to hate going to movies because I would come home sad and feeling like my life was boring.

2. I love to run and wish I had more time to do it.

3. I’ve been to a bullfight in Spain and almost got sick from all the blood, but still thought it all was strangely beautiful.

4. I’ve had the same best friend since second grade.

5. I’ve vowed to never go back to the Eiffel Tower single.

6. One of the coolest days of my life was when a Scotsman called me Lassie in Edinburgh.

7. I’ve been in love and lost it.

8. I have a BA in English but still can’t spell.

9. I’m not very competitive, unless you get me in a game of Settlers.

10. I don’t have an appendix.

11. I feel the most loved when people do little things like make my bed, send me a card, or bring
me a surprise lunch.

12. If you start playing with my hair, I’m pretty much putty in your hands.

13. I like to rock out pretty much anywhere, but especially in grocery stores, in the gym, in
parks, and in the car.

14. I could spend all night gazing at the stars and be perfectly happy.

15. I hate suburbia…give me city or country.

16. Every time I go to the beach, the lyrics, “I hope you still feel small when you stand beside
the ocean” come to mind.

17. I love airports, flying, and my passport.

18. I’ve kissed a sting ray and snorkeled in the Caribbean.

19. I always wanted an older brother, but got lucky with three really cool younger ones.

20. You can tell how stressed I am by how messy my room, desk, and car are.

21. As a little kid I wanted to grow up to be “Asian.”

22. I love to cook for others, but hate to cook for myself.

23. I rarely have crushes. In fact, once one of my friends started praying that I would have one. It worked.

24. I can’t whistle. Trust me, I’ve had plenty of “teachers” and fail that course every time.

25. I think everyone has something of value to teach me, and find myself learning new things every day.
