Why do I care????

So every now and then, a chain letter/note makes it's way around Facebook, but I never pay attention. This one, however, has actually been really interesting to see on everyone's page. I did one also. Get over it. Most of these (like in my case) have been done out of boredom at work, etc.. If you can allow yourself to relax and get over your pretentious reservations - then, please, enjoy.

25 Random Things About Me (Wah wahh)

1. I played in little league growing up from tee-ball to pitching machine. I only ever made to hits.

2. The most important things in my life are as follows: Family, Friends, Food.

3. When I was 9, I went to Australia, sang in the Sydney Opera House and climbed Ayers Rock.

4. When I was 10, I went to South Africa, played with children in Swahili towns and went on a safari in Krueger National Park.

5. At the age of 22, I wish I had the balls to leave my live and travel for a year by myself.

6. I secretly think that people who "have no regrets" are lying.

7. I had my first kiss when I was in Kindergarten. Katie and I hid behind a tree as everyone ran inside at the end of recess. When everyone was gone we kissed. We came into the classroom late, covered in mud. We never got in trouble.

8. I think it's OK to have more than one best friend. I have one from nursery school, one from grade school, two from middle school and 3 from college. I still talk to all of them and regard them as my closest friends.

9. The best way to win me over is to feed me.

10. I went on a mission trip with my church sophomore year of high school and the guys that I was with thought it would be a good prank for someone to poop in a bag and put it under my pillow. I didn't notice until someone came over and lifted the pillow (hours later). I threw the crap at the. I now think this WAS an excellent prank.

11. The first song I sang at a voice recital was "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic.

12. I openly called out my high school drama teacher for playing favorites and being underhanded and mean to me on purpose. I gave her 3 solid examples of her behavior and she was speechless. I got to walk away with the last word - it was one of most satisfying moments of my life.

13. My last apartment in Boston had a beautiful sky light above the shower as the ceiling. I always kinda wanted to catch someone looking in on me.

14. My gay friends would be angry to know that I still do not like Madonna ... not like that.

15. I can denote the beginning of my adult life to the day of my best friend's father's funeral. When it happened, the four of us came from all over the country to be there. It was then that we realized that this friendship was bigger than ourselves; that we would be friends our entire lives.

16. My father is my only hero in this world.

17. In high school, two of my closet friends and I would tell our parents we were all sleeping at each others' houses. Instead, we would sneak pillows and blankets out of my house and pile into my Ford Taurus wagon. We would drive around all night, sleep in the church parking lot and go to Valley Forge Park to watch the sunrise. (the police only caught us once)

18. I always fight for friendships. I never write anyone off.

19. I've never felt more lonely then when I moved to LA. That feeling is passing.

20. I hated to read growing up. I didn't have the attention span for it, so throughout high school (AP/Honors) and college I didn't read 95% of my assignments (I read most of the plays). Instead, I spent time finding cliff notes and short cuts. I mastered how to manipulate the system. Unfortunately, I'm kinda proud of that anyway.

21. There have been two times in my life when I thought I knew the person I would marry.

22. I've played the piano since I was in kindergarten, but I stopped for 4 years because my parents wanted me to be a concert musician.

23. My brother (Jesse) and sister (Dani) and I stayed in one day as kids to record an album. We wrote one song and photographed the cover art. I think our band name was "Together As One" or something like that. I miss the days when we were each others' only friends.

24. At the age of 22, I'm just beginning to feel OK about spending time by myself.

25. I am a Christian and I believe in God and his Son. I am also very flawed.
