I read on someone else's blog that you should put 100 things about yourself in case someone who doesn't know you is reading your blog. I don't know who else would be reading my blog other than people I know, but I'm stuck inside and waiting for a cake to bake so here it is:
1. I lived in the same zip code until I left for college.
2. There is seventeen years between my oldest brother and I and there are seven boys and three girls.
3. I am an inch taller than my identical twin sister, who is 5’7”.
4. I prefer to eat bananas with a fork because otherwise, you get too much banana in one bite.
5. I’ve finished three marathons: St. George twice and Las Vegas.
6. I don’t know how to drive a stick shift and when a guy tried to teach me, I killed the engine three times in a row.
7. I’ve never been out of the United States and my sister and I decided we are continent bound since our mother doesn’t like water or airplane rides.
8. When I was four, I cut open my forehead on my parent’s glass table and got ten stitches. I had to wear a bandage around my head for an entire year.
9. I can’t sing. And neither can most of my siblings, which makes singing Happy Birthday somewhat amusing.
10. I failed my drivers test because I didn’t get into the correct lane while trying to make a left turn on a one way street. I’m the only one out of the ten kids not to pass on the first time.
11. I went to a BYU ward for six and a half years and only gave one talk.
12. Baywatch was the first television show I remember racing to the TV so I wouldn’t miss it. Thanks Nathan.
13. Matlock was watched on a daily basis during the summer before my freshman year of high school.
14. I’ve only been pulled over once, for speeding. I was nice and polite to the policeman and somehow that got me out of getting a ticket. That or my short gym shorts.
15. When I was little, I asked my mom if she would still be alive when I got married.
16. A book I can read over and over again is Jane Eyre.
17. My favorite ice cream is mint Oreo, preferable from the BYU Creamery.
18. I’ve never broken a bone and I’ve never gotten my heart broken.
19. When I was eleven, I raced my brother on my bike and lost control and knocked out my two front teeth. I now have four fake front teeth.
20. I’m legally blind without my contact lens and am pretty much blind while driving at night.
21. I love hoodies.
21. I prefer to wear clothes at least one size too big.
22. One summer, I bought seven different pairs of Crocs, each a different color.
23. My first music concert was Britney Spears at the county fair.
24. My favorite music concert was Tim McGraw/Faith Hill with my friend Katie.
25. Where the book was better than the movie: The Kite Runner.
26. Where the movie was better than the book: North and South.
27. The most disappointing movie: The X-Files sequel.

29. The book I’m currently reading: Labyrinth by Kate Mosse.
30. Where I want to live when I “grow up”: someplace green and warm.
31. French is a language I would like to learn, though Spanish would be more practical.
32. The first time I heard the term “going out”; I was in sixth grade on the bus. I asked the girl who said she was going out with another boy where they were going. I got a blank look in return.
33. I grew out my bangs for the first time in sixth grade and my math teacher threatened to cut them off because they were always in my eyes.
34. The day I was supposed to get my braces off in eighth grade, I threw up and had to wait two more weeks.
35. I lost my first CTR ring on the soccer field at my elementary school.
36. I’m not a big fan of smoothies; I’d rather chew my meal.

38. I love 80’s rock ballads, especially Meat Loaf, Journey, Bon Jovi, etc.

45. I have the same birthday as Dustin Hoffman and my older sister has the same birthday as Abraham Lincoln. She wins.
46. When I was five or six, I wanted to grow up and have black skin and red hair.
47. In middle school, I decided I would get married by twenty and have twenty kids and name them after Canada provinces.
48. I have an irrational fear of being kidnapped. Watching Law and Order: SVU probably doesn’t help.
49. My back up career is a long haul truck driver; though I think my impaired night vision would disqualify me for that.
50. I am fascinated by mini marts/convenience stores. They have everything.
51. I’ve never held a real gun.
52. I don’t like to dress up for Halloween, mostly because I can never think of anything to be.

54. I didn’t get my first cavity until I was 24. And I had six…or eight.

78. I think white chocolate and Swedish fish are disgusting.
79. I like the words disenchanted, superfluity, and shattered. I hate the word moist.
80. Skip Bo was a game I played with my Grandma when I stayed at her house. I had the deluxe version- it came with a board.
81. One time, Joanna and I played Monopoly and I owned the two rich sides and she owned the two poor sides but I kept lending her money. We ended up making more money out of paper so we could keep playing.
82. It takes about fourteen hours to drive from Portland, Oregon to Provo, Utah. I think I’ve been on that trip at least twenty times.

89. I hate wearing make up.
90. I love discovering new music and love it even more when other people like it too.

97. I hate the snow because I can’t drive in it, it means the weather is cold, and running in it is frustrating.

I am so amazed that you could think of 100 facts about yourself. I think I would be stuck after 10 maybe 20. It was fun to read!
Amen to #26.
