Trying to be Interesting


I really hope I can come up with 30 interesting things about me (interesting is in the eyes of the beholder, right?)
   1.       I was seriously into professional wrestling as a kid—watching it not doing it. I once even got Summer Slam on pay per view on a birthday once.
   2.       I can tell you the entire plot line to every Full House episode if you give me the intro.
   3.       I belong to a running group that runs with shelter dogs.
   4.       My favorite runs are when I cross into another state (PA to NJ)
   5.       I was first-chair clarinetist in high school.
   6.       I was a Big Sister to a 10-year-old last year.
   7.       My parents didn’t allow us to have any uncaged pets growing up, so I adopted my first cat at 22 on a whim. (Still have her—she’s 8 now.)
   8.       F. Scott Fitzgerald is my favorite author and I secretly hate Hemingway.
   9.       I have never watched Star Wars—any of them.
  10.   My dad passing away was the hardest obstacle I’ve had to overcome.
  11.   I never see myself having a permanent job—I move on every 2 years or so.
12.   I want to earn a Ph.D. one day.
13.   I spent a weekend building houses in West Virginia for habitat for Humanity. 
14.   I participated in a Cake Walk.
15.   I once met Davy Jones of the Monkees.
   16.   I was proposed to on a chartered boat.
   17.   During college, I was editor of the student newspaper.
   18.   I won first place in a national editorial writing contest in graduate school.
   19.   The first prize I ever won was a coloring contest at Pizza Hut.
   20.   I LOVE rollercoasters and amusement parks.
   21.   Old-time photobooths are one of my favorite things—we’re having one at the wedding.
22.   I haven’t been in a wedding party since I was 5 an a flower girl, but in 2012 I will be a bridesmaid in 3 weddings with a possible 4th.
23.   I have never run more than 9.25 miles.
24.   I’m taking up piano lessons at 29.
25.   I really want to ride a motorcycle one day.
26.   I have a mild obsession with buying shampoos, and it took my about 3 years to stop buying them and use all the ones I had up.
27.   Tulips are my favorite flower.
28.   Eating and drinking outside are my favorite summer pastimes.
29.   All I want is a house at the beach.
30.   I’ll be 30 in April.

  1. I love that you are having an old-time photobooth at your wedding! how awesome is that?!

    I think it's cool you met Davy Jones!

    I used to think that The Olson twins looked like trolls when they were babies - it's amazing to me how pretty they turned out.
