20 Facts

Huzzah! I am now TWENTY YEARS OLD!
And thus I shall post 20 facts about myself.

20. I LOVE rubber duckies. So much so that I have been dubbed Momma Ducky, Ducky and that girl in our dorm with the ducks everywhere.
19. I come from a small town. So small it takes less than twenty minutes to drive from one of town to the other side. So small that everyone knows everybody. So small at least one member of your household went to the grade school. So small that if you're not careful, you probably will end up dating some one's ex flame.
18. I love to write short stories and poems! So much so that I was published three times in three different points of my life. Most recently I was chosen to be in an anthology for high school students. Since then I haven't felt like any of my poetry is worthwhile enough to be in another book or magazine.
17. I was born on Friday the 13th! A joke of which seems to pass by every year. I do believe when I turn 22 though it will once again land on the wonderful day!
16. I am a life long Girl Scout. Once a Girl Scout always a Girl Scout and never will it die! "Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold. A circle is round, it has no ends, that is how long I am going to be your friend." (Girl Scout Round)
15. My favorite book is Peter Pan! "Never say goodbye because saying goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting." (Barrie) Never loved a book so much as Peter Pan. If I could, I would have loved to meet Barrie or go to London to see the statue of the "Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up."
14. My all time favorite color is purple. Yes, purple. A light lavender-y kind of purple that exists only on flowers that God has created.
13. Alas, as it is almost fall, I have my second favorite flowers around: Black Eyed Susan's! And before that is of course the lovely roses. Perfect for every occasion! I have one that is hanging in my room, and I have a white rose in a glass case sitting on my dresser in my room. Of course, it is lovely.
12. I love the candy skittles! Every year my friends some how sneak more into my room, and they are delicious! *Nom nom nom* They make me very happy!
11. I love to send letters. If my friends give me thier addresses then of course within the next week they will recieve a letter from me! I send birthday, hello, anniversary and even Christmas cards! Once in a while I recieve a letter back, my favorite part!
10. I'm a real sucker for the real cute way that guys act. I love to go out on dates, I love them even more when they don't turn out as planned! One that I love going on is when we start off going somewhere and finish off the night in a complete different town. Somehow that always happens. I love them all the same because we always have a good time!
9. The real funny part is that I never really wanted to drive. But now since I have my lovely little car I can't get enough of it. Sometimes I wish the trips were longer from point A to B but the never are. They're even better when you have friends in the car with you!
8. When I was eight I got stitches for the third time. Theres a reason why they don't play Octopus and other dangerous games like that in the school gym classes anymore... and it wasn't because of me! Well maybe it was... its hard being the smallest in your class!
7. I am a huge fan of the old Atari gaming system. I love playing Tetris and Bricks on it. I also have a Ninentendo and on there I play Indiana Jones, Mario (the old Mario!) Mr. PacMan and all the old games! I don't really like the new system, they move too fast and the graphics are horrid!
6. I love listening to the radio. I really like listening to the country songs and songs that aren't really heard in the hallways or at parties. I love to listen to tapes too, but not really CD's which is odd. Perhaps because when I listen to tapes it makes me feel younger!
5. I played sports all through high school, but I stopped in college. I have the build for a player but I use it to my advantage when moving furniture and the like. And I'm still fun sized, sports didn't put much of a damper on my size!
4. I love to smile! In sixth grade I was asked as a school project to make a lisence plate that explained something about me. Me being 11 years old wrote SMILE in big letters with a drawn smile as an emphasise above it. Some day I'll own such a plate... ☺
3. I love to take pictures and have pictures of my friends and families. I love posting them in books, on my walls and in my cards that I send to people. Occasionally I'll post them online, but only if I know that everyone looks good in them!
2. I REALLY love Ice Cream! I love it so much that I went to Ben & Jerry's this summer, up in Vermont! I have worked in an ice cream store going on six years now, and I have no plans on not eating ice cream!
1. I love who I am, most days. I love being me and showing the world what I can do, and if I can't do it I have the gall to ask someone for help. I love looking in the mirror somedays and other days I'll look in there and go find someone for a smile and that will make my day. I have amazing family and friends and would not want to trade anything in my life. And that is the honest truth.
