Once you've been tagged, you write a post with 10 weird, random facts, habits or goals about yourself. At the end, choose 6 new victims to be tagged, list their names, and why you tagged them. Don't forget to leave them a comment saying ('You're It!') and to go read your blog. You cannot tag the person that tagged you so, let me know when you are done so that I can go read your blog answers. Here are my ten:
1. I am 25....yet am regularly mistaken for a teenager.
2. I have lived in seven different states (CO, UT, VA, ID, OH, NY, and currently MO) I don't have a favorite--I just like seeing new things, new places.
3. I am OCD about winning. I like to win. People don't often realize it at first sight, but I am very competitive--but mostly with my self. In school, I'd get mad if I didn't think I was getting a "good grade" which usually meant an A. If it was anything less I would wail that I was going to "fail." In sports, if my team is losing, I don't usually get mad at my teammates, but you can bet I am mad at myself. I am working on this one...
4. I am really quiet when you first meet me...then, people have a hard time shutting me up. So, I guess I just need time to warm up to you first. But once we are friends, Your stuck with me for life.
5. I love everything and anything related to books. reading, writing, editing, buying. yes, I love books.
6. Despite my stress level in school (see number three--you'll get the idea.) I really want to go back to school. I will probably go into something that has nothing to do with my bachelors. Like Graphic Design, or maybe counselling...(the last is just a random thought for those that are thinking "what the heck?")
7. I have always wanted a pretty big family--like six kids. But at the same time I think "Really? I don't think I can handle 1!" And having kids scares me to death. Crazy, I know.
8. When I was a baby, I was the perfect baby. I slept ALL the time, never cried, and easily entertained myself...That lasted till about the age of 11--then I made sure EVERYONE heard what I had to say.
9. Yes, I majored in English. No I have never read the Harry Potter series. I have watched all the movies thus far. I did not read them when they first became popular for the very reason that EVERYONE was reading them.
10. As you can see from 9. Sometimes I do things for the wrong reasons. I watched The Golden Compass because I was told at church that it was "from the devil" so I had to see why. Still don't see why. I read Twilight because my children's lit teacher said it was "inappropriate for teenagers," and that Edward was a stalker. (DON'T get mad at me, I'm not the one that said it!)
Well there you go. I don't tag anyone, if you want to do this, go ahead!
Just trying to make it through life without looking stupid...its not working out so well.

Memories
Sometimes a song can touch a nerve, stir a memory. Sometimes a smell, or a sound. Sometimes it takes just a thought of what day it is and thousands of memories wash over me. A day that sticks out to always be remembered--like a birthday, or Christmas. No one has to tell you those days are special--you just know. And there are many memories associated with those days. Today, is one of those days for me. A day I will never forget...a day I felt my heart being ripped out of me..while at the same time, feeling an inexpressible joy. Each year that goes by I have to stop and take a remember all the things that got me to that day. Ok, so far there has only been two years I have done that, and maybe I am over exaggerating. Maybe with time it will get easier to just let this day go by like every other day. But I really hope not. I hope I always remember the day I left the my mission. And I hope that memory will take me back to my mission, and I will always treasure that time, and appreciate how that time changed me.

I figured it out.
Not that I would mind giving back to a school that helped me financially through the years that I was there. In fact, someday I do plan to donate. But I am just wondering...do they really think I am in a position to do that just three short months after graduation. Aren't they forgetting something called STUDENT LOANS?
