Day One: 30 facts about yourself.

1. Every time I take a shower, I brush my teeth. It doesn't matter how many times I've already brushed my teeth that day.

2. I dance daily/nightly in my bathroom. Seriously.

3. I also put on mini-concerts in the bathroom. It has the best acoustics. If you stand outside any given night, you'll probably witness/hear this going down.

4. Even though I say I'm a terrible dancer, I know I'm not. I'm actually pretty decent, I just get shy in front of other people.

5. My middle name is Louise, which is a family name. And it means warrior.

6. I'm the shortest person in my immediate family. Everyone is taller than 5'6"; my older brother is 6'5". Me? I'm 5'4 1/2"

7. I've been in and out of vocal training for the last 12 or so years.

8. I can sing fairly high soprano pieces, as well as being able to hit fairly low alto notes.

9. I try to listen to Kings of Leon's "Molly's Chambers" every day, to pump myself up.

10. I have a song for each 'important' person in my life. You just probably don't want to ask what yours is.

11. In one eye I'm near-sided, and in the other I'm far-sided. Which is a bit of a bitch.

12. I have two nephews. They are the cutest little boys in the world. No questions asked.

13. I'm fairly low-matienence.

14. When in the car, I have music ADD. I'm constantly changing the song or station. Can't help it.

15. In the past six years, I've only kissed three people.

16. I own handcuffs.

17. I flux between having crazy self-confidence and being unsure of myslf, which I suppose is fairly common.

18. I feel the most attractive in jeans/short pyjama shorts, old flannel, tank tops, with my hair in a messy ponytail.

19. Including shower, hair, make-up, and getting dressed, it usually takes me less than 40 minutes to get ready. Probably closer to 30.

20. I'm ticklish basically everywhere. Which can be a lot of fun. It can also sort of suck.

21. My humor can be a bit caustic and condescending at times... when that happens, it usually just means I feel comfortable around you.

22. I squeak without realizing it.

23. When I sneeze, I squeak.

24. And when I hiccup, I squeak.

25. I've only been on one date in my adult life.

26. I'm a very vocal lover. I've been known to scream on occasion; you'll never have to wonder if I enjoy what's going on or not.

27. I'm a light-weight. Glass of wine? Can't text for the life of me. Personal smirnoff and half a personal bottle of straight up vodka mixed with squirt? Laying and laughing on the kitchen floor for hours.

28. Before I die/get married/have kids, I want to travel across country in an RV.

29. My writing capabilities are pretty impressive. Since starting college, I haven't gotten anything less than a B on a paper I've written. And if it weren't for that ONE B, I'd have all A's concerning papers. Suck on that.

30. Oh, and I got my GED instead of finishing high school traditionally. It was probably the best choice I've ever made in my life, though that takes a bit of explaining. (On a sidenote: my college GPA is 3.57 and I'm on the Dean's List).
