Another Challenge

Obviously, I failed at the last blog challenge? Reason for that--the topics either didn't interest me, or I felt weird writing about some of them, OR I couldn't think of anything to write. It just was lame. However, as I reading the blog of some girl in my ward from last semester (who is randomly in Forrest's ward now), she had a "blog challenge" up that looked a whole lot more fun. I won't put a time limit on it, or even commit to doing all of it, but maybe I'll use it for catalysts so I post more. We'll see.

Day 01: A recent picture of you and 15 facts

Fact #1: Overcast, rainy days are my absolute favorite

Fact #2: I'm super cool and can type about 90-100 words per minute. In the 7th grade, I got the fastest typer in the school award.

Fact #3: The only sport I can play semi-well is Badminton. Though some coughForrestcough, don't count it as a sport. All other sports...I look like a fool playing.

Fact #4: When I go to the store or shopping, I will put lots of things I think I need/want in my grocery cart, but as I mentally start adding them up, I end up putting most things back.

Fact #5: I wish I read more than I do. I just started The Undaunted by Gerald N. Lund. Hopefully that will get me back into my love of reading. 

Fact #6: I'm a closet nerd when it comes to electronics and technology. I love reading reviews on Cnet.com. When Forrest introduced me to popularmechanics.com, I was blown away.

Fact #7: The shampoo I got last week makes my hair really greasy. Let's just say I won't be using that anymore.

Fact #8: Some people think I'm really shy, and I find that unfortunate. I really enjoy talking (my mom claims that I never stop) and getting to know people. The other day I told my friend Audrey that I think sometimes some people think I'm shy, and she couldn't stop laughing. haha. 
Fact #9: I love music. The end. 
Fact #10: Church history absolutely fascinates me. Back when I was a teenager, I read all of the Work and the Glory books, and that really made me super interested in learning all about the history of the Church. 
Fact #11: A dream that I have more often than not is that all the sudden, half way through the semester, I realize that I have forgotten to go to a math class all semester long, being taught by my high school statistics teacher. By the time I remember, I look at the class schedule, and I realize I missed the mid-term by one day. 
Fact #12: I love pillows. My bed is full of them. When I'm sitting on a couch, if there is a pillow close by, you bet I'll probably be holding it or leaning on it at some point.
Fact #13: I have the best imitation hillbilly/redneck southerner accent that only my mom, dad, and Michael have been able to witness. I just think it's too awesome for just anyone to hear. 
Fact #14: I really love to learn, but I'm a terrible test taker. Like, really bad. I wish grades weren't based so heavily upon tests (alas, why I picked a major with pretty much no tests!)
Fact #15: This past week, all I've eaten for breakfast was pumpkin cookies, and it's usually what I've had for lunch too. When there's a week between when I pay my rent and my next paycheck...That's what happens.
