Hey.

There's a lot about me that people don't know. Not really because of any particular reason, I just prefer listening over talking. Let me tell you, this is just scratching the surface. I like to believe that I am extremely complex, when in reality much of my life is spent trying to get High School Musical songs out of my head. Ah well. 

I have always really wanted to be a marine biologist. Dolphins especially. I just think they are so cool and so smart. I think we could learn a lot from them. Dolphin tale 1&2 make me cry. 

Lilo and Stitch makes me cry. (Because, hello.)

Even though it doesn't sound like it, very few things make me cry.

I eat my chex mix is this order every single time without fail: pretzels, breadsticks, chex without seasoning, chex with medium seasoning, then I pull out all the chex covered in seasoning and the brown chips and I eat the chips first then the most flavorful chex. It's a perfectly honed system and I've done it that way forever and I always will. 

I always put the most flavorful side of the chip on my tongue.

Purple grapes are always a good idea.

I am always writing stories. I don't really show anyone but whenever I think of something funny or that I want to remember I write it down.

I don't like chocolate. I just don't. I especially hate the nasty aftertaste it leaves in my mouth.  (With the definite exception of chocolate covered strawberries.)

I sing so loudly in the shower that my family can tell what singing all the way upstairs sometimes.

HGTV is one of my favorite channels to watch and I do often. 

My dog Sadie is the sweetest thing on this earth and I honestly don't know what I would do without her and I'll be devastated when she's gone.

I am most definitely an introvert. This does not mean I only like being by myself because I don't. I mean I do but that's not what an introvert is, it means I recharge my batteries by having time to myself to gather my thoughts and energy after being with a lot of people every day. If I'm with a lot of people for a long time I start to get overwhelmed and I wilt. Then I get really quiet and stop having fun. Every single day after school I go to my room for half an hour and get myself together before facing the world again. I do like being with people though, don't get me wrong. 

I always always prefer wearing matching socks. I just don't understand the mismatched trend.

Sometimes I don't do things just because I don't want to. Like dumb trends. See above.

I memorize whole songs really fast.

I can pick out harmonies by ear really fast as well.

Perfume is nasty. Well the perfume that teenagers use is. I hate it and it makes me sick.

Whenever I drink apple cider I always put in 2 packets or else it doesn't have enough flavor. 

I use lotion like a mad man on a routine basis. I like my hands to be soft and hold able and any moment. That's not a hint, I just like having soft hands. 

Bare feet disgust me. No one will ever borrow my shoes.

The swings at fairs are my favorite rides. That and the Ferris wheel. I'm really scared of upside down rides though. What if you fall out?

I can swim really well. I know all the strokes and techniques and stuff but I don't do it very often. It's tiring!

I have these really cool leopard footie pajamas but I don't like wearing them to bed because they squish my toes.

I just really don't like peanut butter jelly or peanut butter honey sandwiches. They're too sticky. 

I always prefer salty snacks over sweet ones. 

I have my whole wedding planned out. (Except, you know, the guy. Ha.)

I have a very sensitive nose and I get sick if there's something I don't like or something that smells too strong.

I like camping and I like hiking.

I'm good at asking questions. I like knowing at least a little about everything.

Space scares me more than anything else at all. The unknown makes me so nervous and there's just so much that could go wrong up there. 

I've held a tarantula before and I liked it, it was so surprising because I hate spiders normally and I don't know why I wanted to hold it but I'm glad I did now. 

I love snowcones. Not the regular super sweet gross snow cones, oh no, I'm talking jello snow cones. When it snows and it's all light and powdery you go outside and scoop some in a cup, then pour dry jello powder on it and stir it up. It's amazing.

Sushi. Yum. Super yum.

Winter is my favorite season by a long shot. It's just- I don't know. So cozy I guess.

I want to visit Europe so bad. Badder than anything else in the world.

I love flowers. Did you know that every flower has a meaning? So in the olden days when people gave bouquets the girls would analyze them to see what they meant. I have almost all of the meanings memorized and my favorite one is Ranunculus which means 'You are radiant with charms' which is basically my life motto these days.
