A list of random things about me:

1. I discovered what my  calling was late night, in a parking lot, talking to someone I thought I didn’t like.
2. Cooking usually ends up making me sob, but I can make the best banana bread.
3. I think there are other ways to contribute to the raising of children, besides birthing them.
4. I have a really diverse family but they still drive me crazy.
5. Other people can usually make me feel better about myself than I can.
6. I don’t enjoy quiet.
7. I love to sleep and I can sleep just about anywhere (i.e. sitting up in a chair in an airport).
8. I love the rush of excitement that comes to me when I visit a new place.
9. My favorite thing in the world is when my dog Rufus, can tell that I am upset and just lets me hug him until I feel better.
10. I love to look at those corny posters that offer positive remarks about self image and self worth.
11. The older I get the less I think Marilyn Monroe is someone to be worshiped.
12. Someone made me a mix tape once and even though I don’t have it anymore (because I threw it out the window) I still remember the order of every song.
13. I dream therefore I suffer.
14. Deep down I’m a negative, self loathing, pessimist; but I don’t allow myself to get there anymore.
15. I used to lie, steal, and cheat. Now the consequences are too big for me to deal with, so I stopped.
16. I love being able to take care of myself, which sometimes I do a good job of.
17. I hope I don’t develop Diabetes like my dad but I have a terrible sweet tooth.
18. I can’t believe that I have friends that think that being 24 means you have to settle down and start a 401 K. So ridiculous.
19. I don’t know why I communicate with my parents, especially my mom, because of how she butchered my credit score. It’s not easy to get a school loan with such a bad credit score; but she wouldn’t know anything about that.
20. The mind set of “Tomorrow will be better”, saves me frequently.                   
21. I don’t know why there has to be a “heaven” or “hell” to ultimately be condemned to, when we all make mistakes.
22. I love my New England roots. I like that I have roots at all.
23. I have learned to appreciate time to myself.
24. I never take enough pictures and I wish I still could develop film.
25. I wish my teachers in high school knew how much of an impact they made to my troubled little adolescent life; but I’m too scared to talk to them.
