11 Facts:

1. I brush my teeth with my eyes closed. Not sure why but it feels weird when I make myself open my eyes and brush.

2. I have come a LONG way, but sometimes I still have germ-a-phobe tendencies. Let's not talk about the time my puppy threw up on my blanket and I sobbed for half an hour. 

3. I LOVE 80's music! 

4. I don't usually like them so I haven't made brownies in YEARS. We realized yesterday when Jon was baking a pan, that in the almost seven years we've been together, we have never made them. 

5. I have double jointed fingers so it makes me self conscious when I take pictures of my hands. (like the photo in previous post)

6. I love to read but am very fussy about the book. So it takes me months to choose my next read. Once I start the book though, I have to finish it in less than two days. Even if it means staying up most the night reading.

7. I love eye shadow. I think I need every shade. 
8. I once dented my tooth on my guitar. I wish I had been doing something cool like rocking out but unfortunately I was simply carrying it.
9. I don't enjoy going to the theatre to watch movies. I hate the whole experience. So I usually just wait till it's out on dvd. 
10. I can't stay in one place for too long  (usually at about 2 years I start feeling antsy) before I want to travel or move somewhere else. 
11. I would love if I got paid to travel around the world! 

Questions from The Belgian Girl

The 11 questions for my chosen-ones:

* What do you want to accomplish in your life? Ooo good question! Above everything, I want to reach the end of my life having impacted people for the better. I want to have made real connections and genuine relationships. If I can do that, I will feel accomplished. 

* What are you studying? Currently I am not studying anything. (If you follow my instagram you'll see I did some "light" accounting reading lately) I have 4 years of college though! Where I studied mostly Psychology, Literature, Biblical Studies, And Business. I like learning so I tried to soak in everything I could! 

* Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn? Audrey Hepburn

* Favourite Movie? You've Got Mail and When Harry Met Sally

* What is the weirdest thing you like?  Sandwiches with peanut butter. PB and cucumbers, PB and chocolate quik mix, PB and bananas. 

* Heels or ballerinas? Heels

* What is your favourite trend of this past year? I really like the addition of peplums to this past year's fashion trends. It's a silhouette that is flattering to a lot of people.  

* If you could choose, who would you look like? I think Kristen Bell is adorable! 

* What is your biggest dream? I would LOVE to meet Betty White. 

* Your favourite spot in the world? This is hard to answer. The world is big and I haven't seen much of it! 

* Your favourite meal? Fettuccine Alfredo

Questions from Tennessee Red

1. What is your favorite color? What about your favorite color combinations? Any reason why? My favorite color changes. For years it'll be one color and so anything I buy is. Then it changes to another color and I buy things in that shade. My closet is like the era of my favorite color choices!

2. Give me a few lyrics of a song that you feel describes you. I suppose I'll have to put a few lyrics from a song that has been my "theme" song since high school.  And without knowing the whole story it's probably going to come across weird but here are a few lyrics that I like the most from it:

Bitch -- Meredith Brooks

"When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way"

3.  Why did you start blogging? I started years and years ago on livejournal and have skipped around on various blogging networks since. I started blogging as a way to journal. I enjoyed getting my thoughts out onto screen and I loved making connections with people and realizing other people thought like me! 

4. Tell me about your best friend. I usually give the predictable my-best-friend-is-my-husband. Which is true! But I'll tell you about another of other best friends. Her name is Lindsay and we met our first year of college. She was my roommate and has been my best friend ever since!  We've only lived near each other for 10 months but for the rest of the 8 years we've kept in contact by texts, emails, and fb. We might be separated by three provinces but our friendship isn't defined by location. I carry a piece of her in my heart all the time as without her I wouldn't be who I am today.

5. Do you have any regrets?  I've tried to live my life with the intent of no regrets. I don't always make perhaps the best decisions but every one has helped make me who I am today. And given the opportunity, if I went back in time, I would probably make the same decisions again. 

6. What is a food or meal that you can cook amazingly well? Any recipes you recommend? One of my favorite recipes to make is Sweet and Sour Hamburger Sauce. I did a post about it before on a different blog but when I transferred it over to this one the photos didn't show! But the recipe is here.

7. Who is your favorite character from a book? Why? I've read quite a bit but I can't say that I have a favorite character. 

8. What is the thing you're most proud about in your life? I'm quite proud of my etsy shop. I work hard on it and I love creating items for it! 

9. Are you more of an extrovert or introvert? Would you prefer to be one or the other?  I am a huge introvert. I think sometimes it comes across as snobby. But really I'm just shy.

10. What are the features on the sex (or sexes) you prefer, that you'd consider attractive? Arms and eyes are the two things I notice first. 

11.  One random childhood memory. One day when I was in kindergarten it was after school and time to go home. My outside shoes weren't where I left them; but what I was convinced was an identical pair but a bigger size was left in a different place nearby. I refused to wear them because I was sure they weren't my shoes. So I missed the bus and they had to call my mom. When she arrived my teacher and the principal were trying to convince me to wear the shoes. My mom was finally able to change my mind. After that day, my name was always written somewhere on my shoes.
