10 Things You May Have Not Known About Me

1. I don't have a driver's license.

I know that it's lame, and I guess that maybe I haven't reached my right of passage, but to be honest, I don't actually care. I spent all my time when I was younger studying to get ahead rather than learning to drive. And I think that any monkey can pass the written test, so why do I have to pay good money to "study" for it? Also, I like that I get exercise and that I'm helping the environment. Go public transportation!

2. My room at home has Barbie pink walls.

No joke, guys. Bright pink walls! It also has tons of Young Women's posters, pictures of temples, and awards everywhere. If you know me know, you should find this pretty funny.

3. I am addicted to Diet Coke.

Don't know why, but it's like my life blood. Sad thing is...I didn't even hardly drink soda until I reached my addiction!

4. I love Mondrian.

I have a dress with his pattern. And I painted a bookshelf like one of his paintings. I just can't get over the simplicity and colors. I heart modernism.

5. I watch a ton of movies.

The usual is about 5 a week. Sometimes more. Thank goodness for my friend, Netflix, and those red lil' envelopes. But no chickflicks, please.

6. My greatest source of entertainment is riding Trax.

I love all the weird people I overhear! From a man giving advice to his teenage son on how to be a drug-dealer to a homeless man talking about prostitution, life can't get much better than this, just saying.

7. I am a night person.

And a heavy sleeper. My newest job is kicking my trash, however, and I've becoming a Granny and going to bed early. This is news to me after 20 years of life.

8. I wish I were more adventerous.

This summer I've gone on a 8 1/2 hour hike and gone wakeboarding. I've even perfected my longboarding skills. And yet I'm terrified of hurting myself, I hate heights, and I get hurt really, really easily. And don't worry...I cried twice on that long hike.

9. I was Prom Queen.

Okay, totally not something I like to brag about. In fact, I hate it. But I think it's interesting, mostly because it's so out of character for myself. Oh, childish high school trivialities.

10. One of my favorite activities is reading the dictionary.

Always has been. I know, weird, but who knew that Charlotte Russe--the clothing store--was named after a french dessert? I DID?! Only, of course, after I got a beloved dictionary two Christmases ago.
