twitter

so i don't know how many of you out there have heard of twitter... but it's one of my new obsessions. it's www.twitter.com and basically what it is... is JUST the STATUS part of facebook. as the website says "Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?"

twitter also allows for the shameless stalking of celebrities... which is mostly what i use it for! :) I follow john mayer, aaron shust, and brandon heath. It's amazing. so much fun to just read their random little tidbits about what they're doing at the moment! You can also keep up to date on me - since my twitter is right there to the right under my picture here on my blog! WOO! lucky you! :P

well that's all - i just wanted to share with you my obsession with twitter - you should join! :) it's fun! okay bye!

Random Things...

Recently on facebook there was a popular note going around where you were to write 25 random things about yourself and tag 25 people so that they would read them and then do the same... well i did this but know that some of you didn't get to see it... so i thought i'd post it here! and maybe add some pictures?! so here's my list:

1. I am very weird and very okay with it :)

2. I absolutely love getting dolled up and wearing dresses and wear them at every given opportunity!


3. I also LOOOOVE wearing high heels. There is just something about them that makes me feel so girly and... well... tall ;)


4. I love my family and friends more than anything else. They are my life!


5. I am 20 years old and have never been kissed :)


6. I tend to be a little bit OCD... I can't let other people fold or hang up my clothes. I hate it when others write in my planner(s) or on my calendar. I don't like it when other people make my bed. I like things to be organized just the way I like it. There's more but yea, you get the idea... and some of you already know! haha


7. I have recently rediscovered my love of doing puzzles... or "puzzling." It brings great joy to my life to do puzzles! I also find them a great activity to do with others cause you can sit in silence and work, or it's a great opportunity to talk without having to just sit there!
(sorry this is sideways? i can't figure out how to rotate it!)




8. I have a hard time sitting still while on the phone... I tend to pace.


9. I drink almost everything through a straw


10. I hope to have a big family someday... at least 3 kids but would love 7! :) -- Would also like to adopt some of them!


11. I cannot wait to be a stay at home mom! (God-willing)


12. I LOVE music. Like really love it. I am almost constantly listening to it. I like most kinds
and am open to hearing anything new. - Along with this I also loove going to concerts!


13. I love sweets. Especially candy. I can't turn it down if someone offers it to me unless I've just brushed my teeth... and in that case I might accept it and save it for later!


14. I love musicals! Grease, Hairspray, High School Musical (don't judge), Rent, etc. I would LOVE to one day see one on broadway! :)


15. I can honestly say that 99% of the time I really really do not care what people think about me! In that sense I love to wear wacky things on occasion and act out in public. I like making a scene for the fun of it!


16. I someday would like to go to cosmetology school and be a beautician :)


17. I (secretly.. okay not a secret at all) wish I was left-handed and am jealous of people who are... and admittedly I sometimes write with my left hand in hopes that if I practice I'll be able to do it!


18. If I look down when I walk I revert to when I was a child and I will make an honest (almost obsessive) effort to not step on any cracks, so I do my best to NOT look down when I walk b/c if I do it usually takes me quite a bit longer to get anywhere!


19. I don't like "perfect" numbers... such as even numbers or numbers ending in 5's or 0's... I prefer 3's and 7's .... 1's and 9's are kind-of okay... My alarm is always set to a number ending in a 3 or 7. (this might result in this list actually having 27 things instead of 25... even though the title is "my 25!")


20. I am a definite movie cry-er... even on movies that most people wouldn't cry in... Songs also have a tendency to make me cry... I get choked up every single time I hear "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle


21. I love to laugh! Especially laughing till my tummy hurts. I also laugh very easily... or am "easily entertained" ... I like to consider that a good thing :)


22. I hate going up or down the stairs in the pitch black dark... or walking anywhere in the dark for that matter. It freaks me out and i feel very unstable.


23. I love scarves, sunglasses, purses, shoes and jewelry! If I could have an unlimited fund to by these things with, that would be great! :) (however that said... i get most of these things for $10 and under b/c spending more than that on them seems silly to me!)


24. I currently am thinking about making a very big decision that would mean some big changes for my life... I just don't know what to do!!!


25. I'm not a huge fan of capital letters... especially capital d's... I write my first and last name with lower-case d's. I've also had to retype almost every "I" in this note b/c I never capitalize them but I'm working on it. Even with this odd situation in my life, I rarely ever get marked off for capitalization on papers or homework b/c I can somehow magically shut off that dislike while doing them.


26. I sometimes think in a british or southern accent... :)


27. I went to church by myself for the first time in my life at the beginning of this semester... and I actually liked it :) not that I am against going with people, but going alone was not as bad as I thought it would be! :)


well i lied. there were 27... please refer to #19 for why :) 
well that's all! i have others... but i'll save those for another blog - another day ;)

again already?

Yup. I'm back. briefly though.
I am just back to say that ... oh yea nothing.

I'm back b/c I am using this as a quick distraction/break from my homework.. at 12:57AM :)
I have had a very busy day and thus far have been using facebook as my distractor... but as of about 40 minutes ago, i "locked" myself out.. how you might ask? Well I simply typed in some random letters and numbers for a new password that i knew i wouldn't remember and wrote them down (so i could EVENTUALLY get back in) to give to my roommate until a later date when I have less to do! :)


So i just wanted to share that with you all.. b/c me locking myself out of faceook is a HUGE accomplishment! some of you know this and are proud as you read this... and some of you are reading this going, "but you already found another distraction...?" and you're RIGHT. i DID. but that's not the point... facebook is my MAIN distraction that takes the most time... these little things here only distract me for about 10 minutes before i get back to work! facebook takes my life away hours at a time!

alas there it is. now back to work! :)
