22 Things About Me

      Hey everyone! I saw this blog post that I thought was fun, where the blogger listed 22 things about herself/himself that was not common knowledge, like a get-to-know-me post. I decided to try it out. :)

1: I'm 23, and I got my first job last year, which is a stay-at-home job, and it's been very useful in teaching me things like customer service, invoicing, bookkeeping and charting.

2: I want to live in Panama City, Florida. I absolutely love Florida! I love the heat, the palm trees, the clear water and white beaches, and the seagulls. I even love the sandy yards, so different from our rich brown Alabama soil.

3: I want to be an author. I want to write short stories, kids stories, a series, fiction, fantasy, sci-fi...stories that are fun and clean to read. It got to where I was very disappointed when perusing the teen section in our library, as most of the books I picked up I had to put back again because they were full of teen intimacy, language, and unnecessary disrespect for elders. I want to write something that parents will be okay with their child reading, like The Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, the Sammy Keyes mysteries, etc.

4: I love knitting, specifically hats and baby blankets.

5: I love dancing, specifically ballroom. Waltz is one of my favorite dances.

6: I love to swim, and I wish I could breathe underwater. I would love to work as a mermaid, or in a marine park with dolphins. I'd make sure they were treated well and not abused in any way.

7: I'm not a germophobe. If I'm comfortable with you and I know you aren't sick or haven't been sick, then I will gladly share my drink or food with you. The only place I might be a bit germophobic about is the bathroom. Even when it's clean, there's something about that toilet....XP

8: I am more patient with my friends than I am with my family. Of course, I have a different relationship with my family than with my friends, but it will take a lot to get me angry with you. Unless you do something obviously backhanded and cruel. Then I'll cut you from my life and have no problems with warning others of your backstabbing behavior.

9: Obviously, I love photography. Capturing the perfect photo is such a pleasure, and makes me feel so happy.

10: I'm not very confident. There are areas in my life where I feel very confident, but if you were to ask me about them I would immediately have second thoughts and hesitation. I'm working on not caring so much about what people think of me and just trying to live my life biblically.

11: I love hugs. No side hugs either, full on hugs. They make me feel safe and happy, and I love it when other people initiate first contact. If you're happy to see me, hug me. I will definitely hug you back.

12: I'm quiet, and prefer sitting in the background and observing. But that doesn't mean I'm not having fun. Sometimes I get more enjoyment at a party by just sitting and watching everyone rather than actually joining in.

13: I've never been kissed, and I am really looking forward to it. :D

14: I enjoy Korean/Asian dramas. They're sweet, funny, and typically clean. I thoroughly enjoy a love story that isn't full of uncontrollable passion.

15: I wish I hadn't cut my hair. I'm letting it grow back out, and don't intend to ever cut it again.

16: I hate driving in the rain. A light, easy rain is okay, but I do not enjoy driving in a hard, heavy downpour, to the extent that I will cancel plans I have made so I don't have to leave the house.

17: I am afraid of heights. I get shaky and dizzy and cling possessively to anything solid until I can get back on lower ground.

18: I love horses and I want to own a dog. But right now, my cat Natsu is my precious little fur-baby, and I wouldn't trade him for anything. :)

19: I love Chinese food, especially Teriyaki chicken, egg rolls and noodles. I also love shrimp and sushi, and the fake crab meat you get at Chinese buffets.

20: I'm a homebody, so if you want to come over and hang out and not do anything I'm down for it. Bring snacks, we'll have a Netflix party.

21: I like to draw, and I love to look at art stuff. It's so much fun.

22: I love candles. Specifically the ones that smell like coffee, caramel, chocolate...sweet stuff, you know?


     Okay, that's all for now. Hope y'all enjoyed. :D
