things about me...

so... i wasn't gonna do this blog thing after i got back from oz. and i still don't know how much i'll do it... even though dana told me i should keep it up :)
there's this thing that i've seen like 10 of my friends do on facebook that you're supposed to tag people to do and such, but i don't want to do it in a facebook note and i don't want to tag people to do it. so i'll just do it on here. basically you're supposed to write 25 random facts about yourself... so here are 25 things you may or may not have known about me!

1-i am incredibly impatient and antsy. i hate being in the same place for too long, and i'm already looking forward to moving away again.
2-i have ridiculously small pinky toenails. yea... it's weird. i never even realized it until people started pointing it out...
3-i go back and forth everyday about what i want out of life.
4-i still haven't figured out what it means to surrender and fully trust God. i don't know if anyone really knows how to do it.
5-i love celebrity gossip. i know it's shallow and stupid and doesn't matter, but i don't care. i like it.
6-i am way more of a cat person. i wouldn't be surprised if i never have a dog of my own.
7-i think life would be much more pleasant if money weren't an issue. and that's why i probably will never have any.
8-i have never been on a real date. or had a real boyfriend.
9-i HATE politics. seriously. ew.
10-my favorite color is green. really, i switch between colors all the time, but i always go back to green.
11-i wish i could live by the whole "sleep when you're dead" idea, but i really like sleep.
12-sometimes i write stuff down in my head, like i'm writing a book about my life, but i never actually write it down for real. i don't think someone would want to read a book about my life.
13-i am terrible at keeping in touch with people. i'm trying to get better at it.
14-i think it would be awesome to be fluent in a foreign language, but i'm too impatient to learn one.
15-i used to want to get married really young, but now i can't even imagine being in any sort of relationship right now, let alone being married. there's too much i want to do.
16-i hate working out. i love physical activity, but if it involves gym equipment or running for no reason, i hate it.
17-i want Jesus to be the center of my being, my everything, the reason i wake up in the morning. right now i'm not there...
18-i disagree with everything las vegas is about, and i could never spend any significant amount of time there, but i'm fascinated by it. i think everyone should go there at least once in their lifetime.
19-i love my family. lots.
20-i don't think it's worth worrying about the things i can't control, or stressing out about the things i can. sometimes that gets me into trouble, but it's worth it!
21-i love college. i love learning and being on campus and the whole lifestyle of it. it's fun.
22-i don't ever want to stop learning, but i probably will never go back to school after i graduate. i think there's too much learning to be done outside of the classroom.
23-one of my biggest pet peeves is when people use words without knowing the meaning--especially when they use it for the opposite of what it really means. another one is when people chew really loudly. it drives me nuts.
24-i love colorado. i never realized what a great place it is until i left. i love the fact that i was born and raised here. it really makes me proud. i still want to leave though...
25-if i could go back to any time, i would go back and hang out with my parents throughout their teen years and when they were my age. i would love to see how they and their families were back then.

ok... there's 25 things about me. it was surprisingly difficult to come up with that many... weird.
