44) I’m a pretty dang good cook, although I rarely end up cooking unless its just for me. I absolutely love being in the kitchen alone just putting things together.

50) When my hair is long enough again, I’m going to donate it to Locks of Love, just like my aunt wanted me to long before she had cancer herself.
51) I don’t really like watching movies. The occasional cheesy action flick or romantic comedy or straight up ridiculous comedy is fun, but its never something I think to do on my own.

57) My first car ever was a red, two-tone, manual, Geo Prism with 250,000 thousand miles on it. My cousin gave it to me and we put more than three thousand miles on it just driving it from Tennessee to Delaware to Oregon. The brakes went out while we were in the Rockies and we drove for hours with nothing but the emergency brake. That old car still runs and I sent it back to her via eighteen wheeler (she works in transportation) with three hundred thousand miles on it. It’s got a Toyota engine and is the driving force behind my decision to purchase a Toyota truck.
58) I occasionally eat chicken ramen as a treat even though I can now afford to eat better. : )
59) I love my parents and my brothers both because of and in spite of everything.

75) I get frustrated when people credit the way I look for my successes in life.
76) I love daffodils because they are the silliest flowers.
77) I think rollerblading is cool.
78) I never imagine I will enjoy meeting someone until it happens. I love people, but I’m a hermit at heart, or maybe I’m a hermit, but love people at heart. Either way, you get the idea. : )
78) I love to take naps in the tub.
79) I grew up in a houseful of boys and therefore see the toilet seat issue this way; it is equally inconvenient for them to lift it when its down as it is for us to put it down when its up. Where’s the argument?
80) I am not sure I believe politics can make the world a better place, but I’m keeping an open mind; politics are all we have at the moment.

82) I live on a ranch with chickens, ducks, steers, horses, dogs, cats and honey bees.
83) I have hair on my toes.
84) I am the opposite of pack rat, I love to throw/give things away and I hate having stuff just laying around. I don’t like excessive amounts of trinkets around either. I like open, clean spaces.
85) I think most self help books are full of shit and the ones that aren’t, usually don’t classify themselves as self-help.
86) I love climbing because it forces me to ask myself what my limits really are. I’m facinated by my limits as a human being, but somewhat afraid to actually find them.
87) I don’t think mean is cool, even if you dress it up in great words and call it wit.
88) Tequilla is my favorite shot.
89) I like cookie dough way more than the cookies.
90) I have a gift for making people comfortable talking to me and I’m still learning how and when to use it without abusing it.
91) My boyfriend has dubbed me a “morning terrorist” because I can’t sleep in until two in the afternoon, like he does . . . and maybe also because I usually end up ripping his blankets of and jumping on the bed right by his head and tickling him until he gets up too.
92) Sara Larson is my favorite artist.
93) I’ve never dyed my hair; not because I have anything against it, I just haven’t wanted to yet.
94) I have talked too much my entire life (just ask anyone who’s known me since I was a child) but I didn’t realize until I was in college that I rarely actually said anything. I don’t talk as much now.
95) My dog and I have saved each other’s lives twice each.
96) I have been the psycho girlfriend who cyber stalks her boyfriend’s ex. Its more complicated than that, of course, but not really.
