Blogtober Day 1: 25 Things About Me.

So this is hideously, impossibly stereotypical.  But there are 31 days of Blogtober, and not all of my ideas are going to be winners.  Nonetheless, I hope someone finds this interesting.  Maybe.

1. My 3 favorite words are probably: shenanigans, quixotic, and indubitably.

2. I was born on Friday the 13th.

3. My dreams are very vivid, and I remember them really well.  2 weeks ago I dreamed I was a first
grade teacher whose students were being kidnapped by an evil genius with a floating pet shark.

4. Along with peanut butter cups, I also don't like white chocolate.

5. Musical theatre is my not-so-guilty pleasure.

6. Adoption is something I have always hoped to do.  My mom was adopted, and I also have a few aunts, uncles, and cousins who were as well.  I'm not sure if that is where my attachment to it stems from, but if I'm ever able to provide a family for a child that might not get the chance, I'd love to.

7. Feet gross me out.

8. I did not go to a real concert until I was almost 18.

9. When I was younger, one of my brothers would tease me about having a "horse face".  I am still sensitive to that to this day, even though it isn't true.  Sarah Jessica Parker has a horse face.  I don't.  Seriously, let's compare:



<--- Normal face.



                      Actual horse face ---->






10. I can pop my jaw and my ears.

11. No movie can make me cry.  I mean it.  Just to give you a reference point, Cast Away.  The part where Wilson is floating away from Tom Hanks?  I laughed.

12. I can play/have played the flute, saxophone, piano, and ukulele.  Also, I am a beast on the kazoo.

13. My "in-front-of-the-mirror-singing-into-a-hairbrush-song" is Here (In Your Arms) by Hellogoodbye.
14. If I could, I would absolutely drive a classic roadster.

15. Those dolls that have the eyes that move when you tilt them back terrify me.

16. I love being a spectator to a great prank.

17. A few months ago I chopped off most of my hair, and I swear, never EVER again.

18. I would not by any means call myself a "fashionista", but I do love good fashion.

19. I've been legitimately stalked before. 

20. Ancient history is totally fascinating to me.  The Crusades, Rome, Egypt, Greece, Persia, etc.

21. I drink hot chocolate year round!  LOVE IT.

22. Scary movies and I don't mix.  Ever.

23. I've never found Brad Pitt attractive.

24. I suck at math.  Understatement of the year.

25. I am aware that I brag about my adorable son constantly.  I can't help it.  He's perfect.
