So here I am with day one!
As promised, 10 Facts:
01.) I <3 God. He is pretty awesome and I got to know Him through my Youth Group in high school and then again at my Jesuit Catholic college. I love the power of prayer, talking about theology and philosophy with my friends, going on retreats, small groups, and keeping Him in the center. Otherwise I get all out of balance.
02.) I <3 Spring. It is my absolute favorite season and it's happening right now! I love the weather starting to warm up, the birds, the flowers, the trees, the rain, and my birthday! It's altogether a wonderful season and then add Easter in there and it pretty much rocks my socks off. In fact, I'm not wearing any socks right now, that's how hott spring is ;-)
03.) So speaking of spring makes me think of my willow tree which in turn makes me think of how I love to read under it which brings me to #3 - Reading is Awesome! I have always been a big reader, love books, love imagination, and can get lost in my own fantasy world forever. I loved reading so much as a kid I used to get in trouble for: reading when it was too dark/not enough light, reading all night and not getting enough sleep, and not knowing how to get ANYWHERE when I learned how to drive because I was always reading and never paying attention to where we were (seriously, I couldn't make it to my grandparents house). I like goofy teen novels and mystery books. I got really into Sherlock Holmes and of course I'm obsessed with Harry Potter. The only books I don't like are ones they force you to read for school. If I found it on my own and picked it up I might actually read it and love it, but because they forced me to read it I hated it and probably put it down to read a different book and never finished it. Seriously literature class, what do you think you're doing?
04.) I love TV shows and movies that make you think. I love all of those movies that leave you wondering exactly how it happened and I also love the ones that leave no clue as to how it worked but then show you at the end (aka Ocean's 11, my absolute favorite movie). I also like shows like Criminal Minds that show you how they're doing it but leave you in suspense. I watch all these crime shows and I'm a complete scaredy-cat but I love the shows and then can't be alone. Ever. In addition to the ones you have to think through though, I do enjoy romantic comedies and sports/inspirational movies and I'll actually watch anything you put on unless it's (a) too awkward or (b) too scary.
05.) Fact: My absolute favorite team just recently won the Superbowl. Yes, I am a huge Packer's fan and no, I am not from Wisconsin. I love football, have since I was a kid, and it is definitely my favorite sport. My second favorite is NASCAR (Jeff Gordon - no negative comments!), and then comes baseball/softball. Basketball bothers me because I always get hurt (trust me, even on the sidelines, this sport is DANGEROUS) and I've seen enough of it in my first two years of college cheerleading to last me a lifetime. Soccer is eh. It's fun to play but sucks to watch. Sorry, I've just lived with enough soccer fans in college to be sick of that too. It's not as exciting as American football and never will be.
06.) I am originally from New Jersey. I have great Jersey Pride and it really hurts me when ignorant people make fun of my state when they actually don't have any idea what they are talking about. Thinking your state is better than someone else's is your opinion but trash talking Jersey is so not okay and I got on a rant about this earlier because moving to a new state, you really see how discriminatory people are and it drives me crazy. No matter where I end up, I will always be a Jersey Girl so think about what you say to me about my home.
07.) I have a really large, loud, crazy Italian family. We have so much fun together and I love being around them. As a child we always went down the shore together and were together basically every day. Now I'm really close with my cousins and every time we're together it's guaranteed to be a great time. Gotta love family :-)
08.) Pictures tell a story and I love looking at my stories. I love pictures: I love taking them, I love being in them, and I love editing them. I took a photography class in high school and another in college and I basically just became more obsessed. Some people make fun of me for taking too many pictures or being in too many pictures but they are my memories and I just want to have them forever. Okay, maybe I'm obsessed, but everyone will be grateful later.
09.) I <3 Music. I love playing music, listening to music, writing songs, singing, dancing, anything that has to do with music. It's always been a big part of my life and it makes me totally happy. I love all kinds of music except a lot of rap and anything too slow for me. I love old stuff, I love new stuff, I love love songs and break up songs, I love anything funny and anything I can relate to. It's really a big love relationship with me and music :-)
10.) I have gradually become obsessed with accessories. I feel like such a girl when I say that but in college I got really into necklaces and somehow acquired a nice shoe collection as well. Working in retail, I began to love cute purses and beautiful scarves. I wear three rings all the time, I HAVE to be wearing a watch or else I go crazy (but don't worry, I've got a few really cute ones recently) and I'm really lost without a necklace as well. I started wearing really cute hair clips and I just love them. I got my ears pierced about 5 years ago now and I became obsessed with earrings too. Wearing professional clothes to work has really helped me expand my style and I love being artistic and putting together really great and unique outfits!
Well there are my 10 facts, and now you probably know a little more about me than you thought you ever would. I had fun with that and you don't have to read everything (I know, now you're groaning because you already did), but you at least better look at my pictures (See Fact #8)!
Peace&Love&Pictures!
