These are a few (25) of my favorite things...

Wow. Guess I already broke one New Year's resolution. Anyway, the following is a list I made for this little thing that's going around on facebook. We were just supposed to write 25 random things, habits, or goals of ours to share with 25 friends. So, here they are!

1) I can do a killer T-Rex impression.
2) I've had my nose broken 3 times. (Once was by a picture of Jesus that fell on me...not quite sure what message was being sent there.)
3) I am an American History NERD (snort snort) and am a TA for the American Heritage course at BYU and I LOVE it.
4) Jazz is one of my greatest passions in life and I sing in BYU's priemere vocal jazz group, Jazz Voices.
5) I am big on textures, especially with foods. I like touching textured things (I'm very tactile) and a texture can make or break a food for me (hence the reason I LOATHE lima beans and ADORE water chestnuts).
6) I love, love, LOVE words. Using big ones, learning new ones, looking them up in the dictionary, talking to people who use interesting ones, playing any type of word game, etc.
7) God, Jesus Christ, and my family are the dearest and most important things in my life.
8) I love being active and being outdoors. Some of my favorite forms of "activeness" are hiking, cycling, swimming, water polo, NIA, Zumba (LATIN CARDIO, BABY!), and awkward dancing.
9) I love to make people laugh and am not scared of making a fool of myself in order to accomplish this (which happens VERY frequently).
10) Reading is another passion of mine...I cannot get enough. Ooooo...I get excited just thinking about it.
11) Sometimes when I get into bed at the end of a long day I am overcome with such ecstasy that I squeal with delight and my body goes through a spasm of joy which involves me kicking my legs hard and fast. Weird. I know. But I LOVE going to bed.
12) If I had to do only one chore for the rest of my life, it would probably be vacuuming...I like making patterns on the floor with the way the carpet is pushed. I know. LAME.
13) I love cooking delicious little dainties. And then eating them.
14) I grew up without TV. (I know, explains a lot, right?) But consequently I love movies and have this weird knack for quoting them and being able to guess movie quotes (especially Disney).
15) I studied abroad in Jerusalem last winter and it was the most significant, life-changing experience of my short existence thus far.
16) I am the world's greatest people-watcher. People? Love them. All types.
17) I can speak Spanish pretty well, a little bit of Swedish, and a little bit of Arabic. (I can also say the Pledge of Allegiance in French, along with other various random phrases and quotes from Telefrancais!)
18) I'm really bad at leaving messages on answering machines. Like, REALLY bad.
19) I 'm a democrat. And I LOVE Obama. Is that shocking?
20) Philippians 4:13 (Look it up...it's like the theme of my life.)
21) I have multiple personalities/voices that I do impressions of/use; Mrs. Tottingham, Kip, Napoleon, Marge Simpson, Estrella, to name a few.
22) One time, when I was like 8, I ate 7 large Taco Bell items in one sitting (as well as some other foodstuffs) and I totally threw my insides out of whack after throwing up all night. I couldn't eat anything but salad for about 2 years, no joke.
23) My dad and I share a birthday.
24) I like taking pleasure in the simple joys in life, like stopping on my way to class to sit in a patch of sunshine for a bit, or taking my shoes off to walk barefoot on squishy grass.
25) I can quote the entire "Jabberwocky" poem by Lewis Carrol.

Well, that's it folks. Buenas noches.
