7 Random Things

Emily Bennett tagged me for writing 7 random things about myself! I haven't been tagged for a while so I am excited. Thanks Emily!

1. I am absolutely terrified of Tornados. They are my biggest fear. I know I have talked about it on here before. I have at least 1 nightmare a week about a tornado. Most of the time it is about a tornado that no one can escape from. When there is a thunderstorm, I HAVE to turn on the tv to see if we have a tornado watch. If there is even a watch, I freak out. If their is a warning, I basically have a panic attack. Luckily my friend Heather lives on the first floor in my apartment complex so Bella and I have taken cover there about 5 times this year.

2. I HATE feet. I think they are soooooooo gross. Baby's feet are pretty cute but once you put socks and shoes in the mix, they are ruined. I LOVE being barefoot though. I think we should all be barefoot all the time (except for in bathrooms and maybe a few other places). I used to love collecting cute socks but I don't really do that anymore. I just want to be barefoot all the time. But I do NOT want to be touched by anyone's feet and I don't want to smell anyone's feet.

3. Most people who know me well know this but I have the tendency to get "obsessed" with certain movie stars. I am a movie fanatic and I always have been. My major obsessions that I can think of off the top of my head that occurred from childhood until now are Sharon, Lois and Bram from the Elephant Show, Meg Ryan, the 2000 cast of Real World/ Road Rules challenge, Emma Thompson, Viggo Mortensen, Johnny Depp, Alan Rickman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Renee Zellweger and John Krasinski. Most recently I have gotten obsessed with Meryl Streep. That probably stemmed from watching "Mamma Mia!' too many times. I have always liked her but right now, yes, I am obsessed.

4. My Halloween costumes have consisted of a cheerleader, Cinderella, Pippi Longstocking, a gnome, a witch, a cat, a genie, a soccer player, a poodle skirt girl, a barbie, an old woman with curlers, a flapper girl, a pirate, a superhero a`and this past year I was a witch again. I am sure I missed a few.... can you remember any others Mama? Did I wear Josie's bride costume one year? My favorite was Pippi Longstocking - my sister was my monkey!!

5. This one is inspired by Ashley's post about Camden thinking a giant pickle or giant pumpkin might come into his room. I used to have a reoccuring dream as a child about a giant piece of popcorn floating into my room. It is still very vivid in my mind so I may have had it since then. This giant popcorn was so giant it couldn't fit through my door. I was always concerned with how it got through the doorway..... not actually that i was dreaming about a giant popcorn man. He had a VERY deep voice though and he was giving me advice. I would always wake up when he told me that he wanted to eat me. There were several times where I though that the giant popcorn was real. I remember telling someone at school that I had talked to a popcorn man and she didn't believe me. She thought I was making it up so this boy would laugh but I really thought it happened!

6. I got ISS (in school suspension) in the sixth grade. I took matches to school for my friends birthday. We were going to light candles on cupcakes at lunch and I was in charge of bringing matches. I didn't know that wasn't allowed so we didn't do it. I had 2 friends dare me to light a match in the locker room while we were dressing out for gym. Well, I did. The fire alarm went off and the whole school was evacuated. I was so scared that I went and turned myself in to my gym teacher. Since I told on myself, I only got half a day of suspension.

7. I went to Germany twice under the age of 10. The first time I went I was 4 and turned 5 while I was there. The second time I think I was 7.... I might have been 8. My grandmother on my mom's side was from there so we have family in Germany. Also, I have a piece of the Berlin wall.


I now tag Laura, Chelsea and Cate Bush..... or anyone else who wants to do it!
