Rachel's Randomness

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!

I miss you Rachel! You always make me smile, even when your thousands of miles away! How are you liking Missouri anyway?

HA ha this made me smile. Did I know that you hadn't read the HP series??? I can't remember, but that's funny you hadn't read them because everyone else was. I was like that until the fourth book finally came out and THEN I decided to give them a try. Actually, I haven't read the Twilight books yet for the very same reason. I'll probably come around eventually. ANYways, I miss you!
