    1. I can not drive a manual transmission car.

    2. I do not drink. Not because I don’t like it (although I don’t like beer or wine) but because I don’t like what it does to me. I can have fun without drinking alcohol.

    3. I am currently enrolled in an accounting course, even though I’ve worked in accounting for about 5 years now.

    4. I volunteer at a wonderful no-kill animal shelter just about every Saturday.

    5. When I was little I bit my fingernails and I have had “fake” nails for over 20 years now.

    6. I crack my knuckles and just about every other bone in my body ALL the time.

    7. I drink TONS of water each day.

    8. I am stupidly good at remembering names and numbers (phone #s and birthdates), althought this is becoming harder as I get "older".

    9. I do not cook, but like to bake.

    10. I rarely get sick, but when I do it's BAD!!

    11. I was shy as a child...yeah, not so much anymore.

    12. I was a cheerleader for the first 3 years of high school.

    13. Toilet paper and paper towels have to be hanging a certain direction. I'll fix it if I can when I'm at someone else's house.

    14. After I wash my hands I have to dry them completely, so I use several paper towels. Using cloth towels feels dirty to me. (I know, not good for the environment, sorry.)

    15. I am very routine driven. My mornings and my showers are done in a certain order all the time. If I get off track I forget something.

    16. I've been knocked out once when I was about 4. I was kicked off a gate by a spooked horse.

    17. I've never broken a bone (knock on wood). The worst I've done is severely twisted my ankle.

    18. I wonder why they chose 28 things about yourself.

    19. I'm sort of addicted to TV. I have a lot of shows set to record all the time.

    20. I do like to read, but do not get to very much.

    21. I am the youngest of three children.

    22. I am the youngest of all the grandchildren.

    23. My sister and I are the only girls out of all the cousins on both sides of the family.

    24. I can do weird things with my eyes.

    25. I never dealt with the loss of someone close to me until I was 28 years old.

    26. I perm my hair. (I AM a child of the 80's! )

    27. I like to dance.

    28. Oh, I made it to 28!!!! It took me two days to come up with these.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    1. I've been a vegetarian for over four years now.

    2. I love orange juice. I hardly drink anything else.

    3. I am obsessed with college sports. My favorites are baseball and football.

    4. I love names. When I hear a name I like, I will write it down and save it, for possible future use I guess. This includes names for both kids and pets.

    5. I am quiet and observant by nature, but not shy.

    6. I love college. As much as I hate assignments and tests, I love gaining knowledge and I love the traditions and student/fan pride that my university has. I will probably cry on graduation day, because I never want to leave.

    7. I am double majoring, but I am still not sure what I want to do with my life. My problem is that I am interested in many different career paths. So many of them are so different, too, that I can't possibly combine them.

    8. I am generally a very happy person... I try to find the good in every situation.

    9. On that note: I am an optimist in every sense of the word. So much so that sometimes I block myself from seeing the bad in situations.

    10. I have never tried any type of drug. I have no desire at all to see what any are like.

    11. I am very into music and generally listen to certain songs based on what is going on in my life and what lyrics I can relate to at a certain time.

    12. I would describe myself as being a generally independent person.

    13. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people don't use the correct form of their/they're/there, your/you're, etc.

    14. I hate hurting people's feelings, and avoid saying/doing anything to do so as best as possible.

    15. I love to cook. I think that stems from being able to be creative and being able to make people happy through it.

    16. I would love to move somewhere else once I graduate. I just want to see what other areas are about, since I've lived here my whole life and have barely traveled anywhere.

    17. I hate Florida weather.

    18. I am one of those who believes everything happens for a reason.

    19. I have the utmost respect for the men and women who serve the United States of America.

    20. I love math subjects, especially algebra. I consider it to be one of my strongest subjects.

    21. I hate writing/english but that tends to be my best subject.

    22. I strongly dislike reading books. I do not have the attention span for it.

    23. I am constantly checking the weather. Right now it is 54* and raining.

    24. I love cows. Always have.

    25. I want to marry a good old fashioned southern boy. If anyone knows one who is single, please contact me. ha

    26. I love to build and remodel things. I also love designing rooms.

    27. I find a lot of satisfaction in doing things myself (which is I think why I enjoy DIY projects so much) and don't ask for help unless if I absolutely don't think I can do something on my own.

    28. One thing that has been the same for me since I was little is that I have always wanted to live out in a remote city, with a small population, where everyone knows everyone and their secrets. I want to live on lots of acreage and have a small farm with chickens, cows, goats, horses and other animals, and I want my job to be taking care of it all. I want to raise a family there with a great husband. I want to have bonfires with the neighbors and sit out on our front porch talking all night. Probably cheesy, but that is the one of the only things I have ever really, truly wanted. If none of my other dreams for my future came true except for this one, I would consider myself to be very lucky.

    1. I have no car smarts and am always screwing up my car in one way or another.

    2. I love orange juice.

    3. I try to eat only organic and natural foods...doesn't always work though.

    4. I only recently got a nack for cooking/baking.

    5. I am terrified of wet hair...the yucky slimy kind that gets stuck in the drain. Wet dog hair doesn't bother me though.

    6. I am most comfortable in cowboy boots.

    7. I wait until my parents leave and smoke in the house.

    8. I am obsessed with chicken decor.

    16. I drink my juice from the carton.

    18. I blew up the engine in my grandpa's corvette convertible the day I got my drivers license. I love driving fast.

    19. I gained all my weight back...I wear the same clothes all the time because I refuse to buy fat people close again.

    20. I love yard sales and buy crap I don't even need.

    21. My socks never match.

    22. I love wwe wrestling.

    23. I get very upset when my dog doesn't win in the show ring.

    24. I like living in Indiana, but I hate the weather.

    25. I thought I was a dog when I was a kid. My mom once had to tell me to stop barking at the neighbors.

    26. I cannot wait until I turn 21 this year. I want to get very drunk just once.

    27.I don't like cartoons.

    28. I spend most of my time hanging out with my parents.

    #29. I am half deaf - my left ear has normal good hearing, my right has absolutely none at all.



    Oh, RipplingWaves55 - you can have all my yogurt - I have never liked it, and now my allergist said not to eat it. I can eat all other diary, though.

    lute - you can always ask here, or even PM one of us for car advice. How are you "messing" them up? Poor cars!

    Well, this past summer I changed my air filter...for the first time in the three years I owned my car.

    I just found out a couple weeks ago that getting your oil changed and checking your oil were two different things...I have never had my oil changed.

    My Lincoln had air shocks instead of regular shocks. I popped both front and rear air shocks 8 times.

    I don't have this poor Lincoln anymore. About a month ago I got a crack in my engine block and it's done for. I do have a new car. Paid $400 for it! It's a 1990 Chevy Lumina. I'm gonna do my best to take better care of this car.

    Okay. Do you know how to check your oil? Check your transmission fluid? Check your air filter? Basics like that? With an older car, you should regularly check your oil, and all fluids.

    I do now. My lincoln was a 93. It was older too. I am a lot better driver than I was, but sometimes things go wrong and I won't know what I did to cause it. I'm really going to do a better job with this car...I hope. I'll check in here when I need help next time.
