3) List at least 10 honest things about yourself.


Here's the Honesty List...

1. I don't identify as a Marylander. At all. I was born in NJ, lived there for 5 years then moved to MD. My parents are Long Island, New Yorkers so I definitely identify with above the Mason Dixon Line. Though I didn't live there long, I always say I am a Jersey Girl.. I'm not a crab eater or a Redskins fan. I get a lot of crap from friends about liking the Giants or not LOVING to pick crabs for hours to get 2 ounces of meat. Haha sorry Maryland kids.
2. I sleep with the tv on.. I turn the volume to 1 and sleep in the other direction. I only started doing it this summer. I don't really like the silence and reallly dark room. But if I'm sleeping in a room with PreppyBF or a hotel with my siblings, the tv doesn't matter. Weird I know.
3. I hate washing my jeans. It might be because I've gained some lbs recently but I love having stretched out jeans. I hate them right out of the dryer because they shrink in all the wrong places. I've tried just letting them airdry but I hate that feeling too. They get like crunchy and wrinkled. Over break, I washed my favorite pair of jeans once. Gross I know.
4. I'm obsessed with weddings. It's pathetic I know.. Since last year I'd say, I've watched every wedding show I can and even started an account on theknot.com... It's more like gathering ideas that I think are cute and creative. I know I want to get married at the church here at school so I've even research reception venues close by. PreppyBoyfriend thinks I'm ridiculous but I don't care! My mom doesn't help either, she points out places on campus that she think would be great for wedding pictures, hairdos, etc.
5. I have a pet peeve about hearing people eat. I can't stand crunching, chewing, etc. My family was eating chips and salsa during one of the football games and I had to leave the room! I know it's weird but I can't stand it! The only person I've met who's the same way is my former roommate/best friend. Crazy!
6. I don't feel as self confident if my eyebrows look like crap. I had to go on Accutane in May of '07 and couldn't wax my eyebrows for a whole year. It was torture..... I have semi un-even eyebrows and the only way for me to fix it is to get them done.
7. I hate showering at school. It's such a hassle, the shower shoes, the dingy shower stall, trying not to flash anyone who's in the bathroom, etc. I like my shower to be relaxing, not squeezing into a 4x3 ft stall. So I only take showers every other day, unless I work out or get sweaty in some way. I only have a couple classes a day, it's not like I get dirty or gross. I also have really thick hair so sometimes I'll take a shower and a day and a half later it'll still be damp inside the pony tail.
8. I can get fairly paranoid about things... After 9-11, a couple close calls with my family made it that whenever I would hear an airplane I would get chills. I can get pretty nervous at airports. This past summer, my mom and I flew home from Florida on a really small plane, like maybe 35 passengers? It was so bumpy and freaaaaked me out.
9. I'm a homebody. I didn't go to sleepovers until my freshman year of high school! I don't really know why but I'd say I still am today. I knew going out of state would be near impossible, not because of PreppyBF but I didn't want to be that far away from my family. We're really close.
10. I'm an eternal optimist. Even in the worst situations, I always hope for the best. There's lots of depressing examples that I can go into but I'll spare you the details. I always think things will be okay, and when that doesn't happen it's a huge let down. My late elementary school art teacher even spoke about me at a graduation and how she learned from me how to be more of an optimist! Yet, I'm still the glass half full girl.
