What you were doing 10 years ago.
I was 14 years old and in the 9th grade. I was living in Utah and the school district we lived in had Elementary K-6, Jr. High 7-9, and H.S. 10-12 so I wasn't fully going to high school but I guess technically I was. I had just bought my first snowmobile and I think 2nd truck. I had a few crushes but I can't remember any one specifically -- I guess maybe Ashley Costley because I had a crush on her since the 3rd grade. Life seemed to be going well and I was working after school for my uncle at a Nursery & Garden Center planting trees, watering flowers, mowing grass and all the fun stuff that goes along with that.
5 things on my to-do-list today
Ugh I despise to-do-lists because I never complete them on time. However, I usually have 3 or 4 lists a week
1. Go to my favorite class of the semester Sociology 320 - Social Inequalities
2. Do prep work for social research project we are conducting on tuesday for Comm 401 - Communications Theory
3. Do research & start powerpoint on teen pregnancy for Soc 300 - Social Problems
4. Hopefully go running (this one is likely to be pushed aside due to lack of time :(
5. Study for test on Thursday for Comm 401 :(
Snack that I enjoy
I've recently reconnected a relationship with nonfat yogurt, cashews, and peanuts. I consider this to be my attempt-to-be-healthy-snack. I mix them together and enjoy! I feel healthier when I eat this vs Reese's Peanut Butter Cups which I consider to be my naughty snack.
Bad Habits
-I eat too much when I drink. Especially being that I want to lose some weight
-I just love too much
-Side hobbies – see #1 on 5 things people don’t know below
-I’m sometimes too nice to people and let them take advantage of that. I’ve been working on this a lot lately and haven’t been letting people walk all over me. This has been especially hard with working in a restaurant – where do you draw the line?
If I were suddenly a billionaire I would…
-Change who I am and drive most of my close friends and family away
-Buy my parents, my mom, and sister new houses, cars, etc.
-Party too much and get into trouble
-Buy all “the stuff” like cars, houses, planes, land, etc.
-Start a private school – not entirely sure if it would be a College, H.S. or Grade School
-Pay off student loans
-Visit all my friends and family that live elsewhere
-Buy lots of technological stuff… maybe just buy my own Apple store
-Finish school and go to Grad school somewhere in CO

5 things people don’t know about me.
1. I get really involved into little side hobbies or projects and then move onto the next. This might sound like a good fun thing but its not. I get this from my dad but I feel he is a little more extreme than me. I get very engulfed with doing a side project, researching new technology, politics, etc then move onto the next little obsession. For example, when I bought my mac a couple of months ago I did endless research and kept on obsessing about what little accessories to get. I would spend hours on different websites looking at keyboard protectors, customer reviews, screen protectors, consumer reports, carrying cases, memory, etc. After I bought like 4 basic things I moved on and started obsessing over different kinds of fruit and low-fat yogurt.
2. I’m from Utah and I’m not a mormon. This makes me a little unique because I spent close to 15 years there and practically grew up there. I mean seriously, other than people living in Ut and reading this, how many people do you know that lived in UT? I moved to Virginia to live with my dad after H.S. when I was 18.
3. I bought my first vehicle when I was 13 of 14 years old. If I remember right I was in the 8th grade and bought a ’47 Willy’s Jeep from my uncle Dale. It was partially restored and needed some work. Obviously I couldn’t drive it.
4. I never graduated H.S. This would be a shock to most of the people in my life. Other than close family, friends from H.S. and significant others, no one really knows. It’s not something I deny from people, but it’s definitely something I don’t willingly tell. Most everyone already assumes I graduated H.S. Plus it’s a lot easier to just go along with people and agree. I went to H.S. all the way to the end but didn’t have enough credits to graduate. At the time I wasn’t willing to take the additional classes necessary to get the diploma. About 8 months after H.S. and moving to VA I received my G.E.D. I have my Associates degree but I think I’ll be less sensitive about the whole thing once I get my Bachelors.
5. I’m a Libra (the scales) and am always striving for balance. Is it the fact I want balance so bad that it becomes one of my biggest struggles? Or is it that I pay attention to balance so much that I’m never satisfied with the balance in my life.
What time do you go to bed?
Ugh I’m so conflicted when it comes to this. Naturally I’m a night person. However, ideally I like going to bed “early” like around 1ish so I can wake up around 8 or 9ish to get a good jump start on my day. This rarely happens and most nights I find myself going to bed around 3 L and not waking up until 11ish. I really wish I was more of a morning person.
Pet Peeves
-F.W.S.S. Floppy Wet Sock Syndrome. I’m not sure if it would be an actual syndrome or not but I hate it! This is when you walk into the kitchen, bathroom, or go to get the mail and you step in a small puddle of water. This gets your sock just wet enough that you tell yourself you don’t need to change it cause it will dry. However, your sock changes its form completely and gets loose and does nothing but flop around!
-Everyone Loves Raymond – Its so predictable and not funny. Enough said
Who do you tag?
I’m new to the whole blogger thing and am not completely sure what that is. Someone please explain. Copy and Paste this into your post, then delete the answers and fill in your own. Enjoy!
