1. I may be borderline obsessed with the sitcom, Scrubs. I absolutely love that no matter what time of day it is, I can always find a Scrubs rerun on TV. In case you are wondering, I’m probably 85% Elliott with a 15% mix of J.D.
2. I’m ridiculously independent. I like to depend and do things for myself. Sometimes, that has backfired on me.
3. My favorite show growing up was Double Dare. I loved it so much that I convinced my family to audition with me. I may have cried for several hours, when they didn’t pick us.
4. I’m still afraid of the dark. I carry a flashlight in my car dashboard just in case.
5. Now, here’s my irrational fear. When my little brother was much younger, he used to love this VHS tape series, called Wee Sing. To this day, I still have nightmares about the pink monster-lady, who always wears a purple tutu. I’ll probably have nightmares tonight, after watching this Youtube clip.
6. I could people-watch in an airport for an entire day. There are some crazy people and crazy outfits in airports. Seriously, try it. It’s fun, I swear.
7. I’m the oldest of four children. It definitely shows in my personality.
8. I could live solely off peanut butter and nutella. Add in some bread for a sandwich. It’s even better. Delish.
9. I love grapes, but I can’t stand grape juice. Go figure?
10. I almost died on my 12th birthday. It’s also the reason I’m now terrified of horses. You guys and girls are smart. I’ll let you figure out how that came to be.
11. I don’t drink beer. And, I rarely drink at all. I find I don’t need alcohol to have a good time.
12. Growing up, I was painfully shy and awkward. I’ve tried hard to outgrow my shyness. But, I still am at times.
13. I’ve only gotten up at a ridiculously hour on Black Friday once. I was 9 and I had to have a Furby. My good-natured mom took me to Toys ‘r us at like 5 a.m. to wait in line for 3 hours. I ended up throwing the Furby into the back of my closet that same night, when it wouldn’t shut up. Worst purchasing decision I ever made.
14. I used to collect Beanie Babies. I never played with them. I kept them in mint condition with the tags still on. I thought someday I could go sell them and be rich. There in a box now accruing dust. Still waiting?
15. I have an unhealthy obsession with the Food Network.
16. I was 16 when I got my first job. I worked as a cashier at a Wendys in a mall food court. It taught me how to provide great customer service. That’s a life skill I use every day. It also confirmed my desire to go to college.
17. When I was two, I got my family banned for life from a Chili’s Restaurant. Apparently, the waitresses and the general manager had a small problem with a toddler’s dramatic temper tantrum (i.e. my tantrum).
18. My favorite movie will always be Aladdin. The Blind Side and Remember the Titans are a close second and third.
19. My favorite place on earth is London. I had the opportunity to live there four months while I was in college. I would live there permanently in a heartbeat if given the right opportunity.
20. I don’t want to sound too dramatic. But, Twitter has seriously changed my life, both professionally and personally. There are so many truly great people on Twitter, and it’s pleasure connecting with each and everyone of them.
21. I don’t open up fully to many people, which is why I waited so long to post a list like this on my blog.
22. My mom is my best friend and biggest role model in my life. I know I don’t thank her enough for all the support she has provided me with over the years.

So my family was almost on Double Dare 2000 🙂 I LOVED that show as a kid!
