Take Five

no particular order
1. "More black olives please." is what I usually ask to be added to anything. it would be neat to be able to say that I know a lot about olives...an olive connoisseur.

2. Chose to be vegetarian not for the sake to save animals that were bred to be consumed by us but because of the inhumane treatment of meat packing/poultry workers. It is too much of a hassle to research which restaurants use unionized meat or not ( not that union statistics have too much to write home about). I have been seen with nuggets on certain occasions during certain times of the month. And besides, the general texture of most meat makes me uneasy.

3. Phil. 1:21

4. Music has and always will be part of my life- live music especially- one of my favorite topics to learn about.

5. It makes me sad when people are predictable.

6. I sport bifocals. (it is scary going down stair cases) haha My Mom has yet to let me live it down about a pair of $5 dollar sunglasses that I will never really wear.

7. Learning is my favorite thing to do. Sharing goes with that in that usually when I am anywhere or see something interesting, different people come to mind that I think would have enjoyed it just as much if not more than me: so the next time I see them I have the strongest urges to tell/show them.

8. These sort of exercises cause mild anxiety for me... I find them to be a tad intrusive haha

9. Warm blueberry poptarts (name brand) and root beer (floats) can turn my frown upside down 99% of the time.

10. When I was 6 I wanted to adopt 25 childern. At the age of 12 the horror of how awful children can be sometimes struck me and so I dismissed the children for 5 adopted shelter pets instead. Now at 20 years old the thought of both child and pet seem even more ridiculous seeing as I am an art major who will probably barely make enough money to support myself.

11. Black jelly beans and licorice get a bad wrap; which means more for me :)

12. My favorite kind of ice cream is Black Cherry. I refuse to eat anything dyed-it has to be natural vanilla surrounding the fresh black cherries.

13. I am getting bored with this...one tall no room Americano- black, please.

14. Stair cases cause vertigo, street vents make me feel anxious for everyone who decides to walk on them, and there is always a lingering fear that when I am on an elevator one of the pulley systems will fail.

15. I don't care how cool or indie it would be for me to say that I love the darkroom more than digital work- I don't.

16. Tofu does not scare me.

17. If I had to root for teams in the NFL they would be: Stealers (Dad's family is from Pittsburgh), Ravens (Bodymore owns), and the Redskins (they hold loyalty because they were the first football game my Dad ever took me to...that is probably because the tickets were dirt cheap though haha_)

18. If you write me a letter I will write one back. I prefer letters to emails...and sorely do I miss seeing street corners decorated with mailboxes.

19. I know what I got so I don't need to flaunt. Being the center of attention is not always important to me. I know I am not wasting my time or effort to answer you fully/honestly if you take the time and effort to ask a well formulated question.

20. Although I do not mind crowds, it is when I am alone that am I able to fully recharge.

21. No matter how poor I get, it is decided that fresh cut flowers will always share a roof with me. (reference to #10)

22. I have a pet gold fish named Lucky Dirt who I have had since freshman year of high school.

23. Silence is perfectly natural and healthy...one day I want to experience deafening silence.

24. I do not mind sharing drinks or straws with people yet cannot bring myself to share a tube of toothpaste.

25. Few and far in between have I been able to find people who can truly make me effortlessly laugh.
