I'm a follower...

I have been tagged about 1,765 times on facebook over the past couple of weeks in friends 25 random facts about myself.  Since right now i am an elitist and "so over facebook" for the time being (it's all about the blog baby!) i've decided to post my list on here.  And while i did think twice about doing it because i feel a little self centered in doing so and don't want to come across as the girl that always talks about herself...sometimes a girl just DOES want to talk about herself, so here goes.

No, wait.  FIRST major props to my bro who helped me get rid of the annoying ad that was on my blog and helped me create my own that is simple and classy...but still has a tree in it!  So, Chris Honea, if you ever read this...THANK YOU!!!!

Okay, NOW here we go...

1. I have horrible tire blow out paranoia.  In fact I have several designated stops on my route from Conway to Little Rock that i stop at frequently to check my tires because i'm sure that one of them is flat and it is going to explode and i will wreck my car and die.

2.  I am an amazing researcher.  In fourth grade i won muchos prizes for being the quickest student to look up words in the dictionary during drills.  My love for research has continued on and while i hope that it will one day land me an amazing job at the CIA, I also know that i would make one heck of a stalker.

3. To me, regular marshmallows = lots of calories.  Roasted marshmallows = 0 calories and LOTS of nutrients.

4. I am not allowed to EVER buy lucky charms, sour cream and onion chips with ridges, or powdered donuts because each box/bag will effectively be gone in under one 24 hour period.

5.  I spent two summers in Boulder, Colorado and i am not sure that there is any place that i love more...although i'm fairly positive that i will never move there.

6.  When i was little i came to my mom highly upset because i wanted to be a singer when i grew up and just knew that i wouldn't be one because i wasn't black, and all the good singers were black.

7.  I have been obsessed with Hillsong and Darlene Zschech for the past 13 years.  Seriously.  I've been obsessed with Beth Moore for almost that long.  I've always wanted to be a mix between those two amazing women.

8. I hate being a copy cat.  I almost didn't do this list because my girl Callie beat me to it on her blog.  But i'd already begun an didn't want to stop :)

9.  Me and my brother were probably the coolest kids you would ever meet.  I mean that literally.  By the time my sister was born Chris and i were already 5 and 7 and Elissa ended up being one of the quirkiest kids you would ever meet.  However, she ended up being one of the coolest people i have ever known.

10.  I realized the other day that that day i looked exactly like "kid becca" had always thought i would as "grown up becca".  Giant sweatshirt and bangs.  I watched a lot of Saved by the Bell.

11. I am probably the most accident prone person you've ever met.  If you don't believe me just ask me sometime the story of the three concussions within the span of a year and a half (none of which were technically my fault).

12.  I believe that there is nothing better than a day with nothing to do but drink coffee and read.

13.  I have two life dreams which may or may not ever come true.  The first one is to have the ability to teleport.  I can not tell you how many different times and ways i have tried this.  But i believe it can be done.

14.  Once i actually believed that i teleported from the Maumelle exit to the Conway exit and was thoroughly freaked out.  It's a pretty great story.  Maybe i'll tell you that one someday as well.

15.  My other life dream is for my life to be a musical.  People singing and dancing in perfect harmony and sync with each other as they walk down the street.  Mix that with teleporting and i would probably explode with excitement.

16.  I am a huge people watcher.  I could go anywhere and be perfectly content just sitting and watching.  Especially airports.

17.  I mentioned airports in the previous number like i've actually flown.  I never have.  But i DO have lots of friends that do frequently though...thus plenty of ppl watching airport exposure :)

18. I love celebrity gossip.  Which is weird because i'm not a dramatic person.  Well, not in the celebrity gossip sense of the word drama.

20.  If i could learn every language on the planet i would be one happy muchacha.  But the ones i would give anything to know fluently would be Spanish and Arabic.

21. I've known how to play the piano my entire life but am by no means amazing at it.

22.  I minored in history in college because i absolutely love history.  Trouble is, i have an awful memory and therefore don't remember any of it.

23.  I am a major rule follower.  Most of the time.  There are several times that certain friends of mine try to break me of that...and they've succeeded several times.

24. I gave up my grown up job in October that had pretty decent amounts of money involved to work part time jobs that don't pay nearly as much.  I'm much happier this way.

25.If i had had my way, I would have majored in about fifteen different areas in college.  I love school and i LOVE to learn.  In fact, i almost changed my major senior year to art history. What in the world would i have done with that degree? Probably what i'm doing with my psych one...nothing.

And one for good luck.

26. I got early morning detention in 7th grade because my English teacher overheard me saying that something "sucked".  I still get nervous every time i use that word and consequently don't say it that  much.
