Ca Plane Pour Moi.

You know those posts that kept going around on Facebook?  Like, the ones where you are supposed to talk about your top 20ish things that people should know about you?  Well, I kept tossing those off as extremely ego-centric, which I think for the most part they really were.  But as I kept getting tagged and told that I also had to participate, I started thinking about it.  Maybe it wasn't that people were being self-centered, but that they were just describing the things that made them unique.  And when it comes down to that, it's not nearly as bad.

Well, I had a less than super night after about 11:30pm.  Honestly, I don't even know why.  The only conclusion I can jump to is that I've stressed myself out over so many things that I eventually snapped.  I simply couldn't take it anymore.  I had a long heart-to-heart with God, which is something that I regretfully have not done recently.  And in light of all this, I wanted to find the positive in my life again.  So, I'm giving in to the masses.  Although, just to be different, I didn't want to post it on Facebook.  I thought this was much better for a blog, instead.  Here goes...

20-ish Things That You May (Or May Not) Know About Me:

1.  I have two middle names: Grace and Reiko.

2.  I am an assistant coach for a Varsity soccer team.

3.  I didn't attend public school till I hit college.  Yeah, I was one of those kids.

4.  I've always wanted to own two hamsters and name them Tiki and Ronde.

5.  I have an unnatural and unhealthy obsession with Stephen Christian and Anberlin.

6.  I would prefer to listen to vinyls over cd's anyday.

7.  I have a favorite place that I love to drive at night.

8.  I want to backpack across Europe (at least 20 countries) and sleep in hostels.

9.  I collect souvenir pennies from cliche tourist traps.

10.  I want to be fluent in a language, other than English.

11.  My favorite book of the Bible is Hebrews, followed closely by Jude.

12.  I was born and raised in California till I was 9.

13.  I randomly give inanimate objects names, especially cars.

14.  My signature coffee drink is a tall Americano with three pumps of white mocha, no room.

15.  My favorite color is brown, mostly because everyone else doesn't like it.

16.  The best fruit in the world is pomegranate.  And yes, I liked them before they were cool.

17.  If I wasn't going to school for interior design, I'd like to be a counselor, full-time coach or a music promoter/manager.

18.  I have a very real and completely irrational fear of being tickled.

19.  When I was little, my family always told me that I was going to grow up to be an actress.  Or a cruise director.

20.  I can't survive even a 2-minute car ride without music playing.

21.  I grew up watching Charlie's Angels, Miami Vice and Dallas, not cartoons.  Ah, it explains so much.

Well, that's what makes me me, in a very large nutshell.  Writing it down is surprisingly therapeutic.  Gives you a sense of belonging, yet individuality all at the same time.  And sometimes, it's just nice to see those reassuring words.
