angelfish.

1. i am very curious. that being said, i have an extreme desire to learn anything new or more on top of what i already know. i end up researching really random things for hours just because of one idea i had that split off into a bunch of other ones i wanted to know about. this happens about everyday.

2. i have an even bigger craving to get back to school. i miss iowa state, even though i will almost be completely starting over whenever i can get back. it makes me really frustrated when people complain about having to go to school or do homework or whatever. i would do about anything to be in their place.

3. i love animals. my favorites are polar bears and armadillos. but my dog, daisy, is my whole world.

4. i am afraid of thunderstorms, ants, heights, birds, and trains. ironically, my dad has worked for union pacific for thirty years.

5. i feel alone and left out a lot. and most of the time, i feel like i have no true friends. i miss my oldest friend more and more everyday. but one of my best friends i have only known since september or so.

6. i have always been really artistic. thats why i am going into graphic design. it was the most practical thing i could do with what i love. i think i would like to go into product design or maybe web design. just seeing ordinary things that don't have an ordinary appearance really inspires me. being really crafty really helps out in day to day life too.

7. i love patterns. on clothes, on web pages, on anything. again, i will wonder the internet for hours finding sweet ass pattern sights and artist. that's how i have found most of my favorites.

8. when i was a little kid, like 6 years old or so, i beat this kid up. he was one of my brothers friends that lived in my neighborhood and he had been teasing me and making fun of me all day. he was calling me "banana beak" god knows what that is. and i had enough of it. so i hip locked him and flipped him over. then he went whining to my dad and said "she beat me up" and my dad said "oh no you have been pestering her all day. quit your sniveling." the funny thing about this is that when i was, i was kinda little for my age. and this kid, even though he was younger than me, he was huge and a punk ass. when he got older he went to juvie and now he is enormous. but he still got beat up by a girl. and when my dad was telling me this story he remembered it just like i did. but he was like "you used a judo move on him! it was pretty impressive at six years old." obviously i'm not one to fuck around with.

9. i am a horrible speller. thank god for my mac's instant spell check.

10. i have a hard time sleeping and my sleep pattern changes at least once a week. medications don't really help so i am not very interested in trying them again.

11. i have never smoked weed or have done any kind of drug. something a lot of people are really surprised about. hey just because i wear tye-dye doesn't mean i am that kind of person who is into drugs.

12. i used to write all the time. i don't so much anymore.

13. someday, i want to be ridiculously loaded. so loaded, that i won't ever have to worry about money. that is a feeling i have never experienced. even as a little kid i knew if my family was in trouble. as soon as i turned 15, i got a job and have been working ever since.

14. i said "i love you" to three different boys. i am not sure which ones were real, except for one. i am ok with being by myself right now. i am never going to settle again.

15. i am more of a mountain person than an ocean person. someday i would love to live in denver. but i would like to travel most of the world. i love to play tourist at first, then i like to live as the locals do. some of my best memories have been while i was traveling, but i haven't been a whole lot of places.

16. my dad moved out when i was 15, but my parents still aren't divorced. but i am sure they will never get back together. i haven't been the same person since, and that is really for the better i think. because of my dad, i have a lot of issues with men, but i have always looked up to him and have set him as an example of how a gentleman is.

17. i open up very easily, but that has never really helped me much. i am learning that not everyone is good.

18. when i cry, my face gets really red and splotchy, and my eyes get bright green. and when i run, my face turns so red, it's almost purple.

19. everyone knows i have a little brother, CT (or thomas), but not a lot of people know i have an older half sister. she lives in chicago and i love her to death. i wish we talked more. and i wish i could see her more. from age six to seventeen my family had no contact with her. then i saw her. then she came to my graduation. then she visited me at isu. and that was the last time i saw her. we were going to live with each other in chicago, but things didn't pan out. we have a lot of things in common, but it is weird because i still don't know her as well as my brother. i really would love that time with her i never got while growing up.

20. my mom craved potatoes and white grape juice while i was in the womb. to this day, they are my favorite foods. i also love mostly all breakfast foods, ice cream, black olives, bla bla bla. i'm a vegetarian. and i really think i was made to be so.

21. i don't have a favorite season. i like them all.

22. i CAN NOT stand being hot. most of my friends know this, like when i was so hot i couldn't stay very long at tracy's birthday party. i don't think she took it personally though (i love you).

23. i am 5'2 1/2". my eyes are green. most of my fingers are crooked. i have fallen ankles. i am ambidextrous. and i have hearing loss in my right ear.

24. i wasn't raised under a certain religion. my mom grew up catholic and my dad baptist, but they were married in a catholic church. i am personally agnostic, but i think i would like to be married in my favorite church just because it is so beautiful.

25. i am not sure if i want kids. it's too early to decide. it's either none, or a whole bunch. i would move somewhere that is more diverse so they can go to school with all different creeds and colors. no way in hell am i raising anyone that is going to be ignorant, or republican.

26. i have broken my nose, arm, wrist twice, most of my fingers and toes, and one of my ankles twice.

27. i am growing my hair out for locks of love. so this is my natural color. in the summer, it will get pretty blonde. right now it's kinda in between that and a light brown.

28. valentine's day is my favorite holiday, in a relationship or not.

29. every woman on my dad's side of the family has had breast cancer. my grandma died from it. both of my aunts have relapsed and won. my sister and i are next.

30. i love cartoons. bugs and spongebob. so much, i netflix-ed all the seasons i could find. i also love movies. i can hit the year it was made within a five year range based on film quality, font work, and angles. one of my all time favorite movies is Stalag 17, made in 1953.

31. my favorite flowers are sunflowers and orchids. i also love willow trees.

32. i am really self-conscious about my stomach. my ribs stick out weird and i wish it was flatter and more ripped-like.

33. i have been riding harley's since i was at the most four. i wouldn't get on any other make. my dad, two of my uncles, and an aunt all ride harley. i want to get one for myself soon, and beat my brother to it just to piss him off.
p.s. - crotchers are for tools.

34. i used to not be able to hula-hoop. now i can for over a hour straight.

35. i love reece bones!
