25 Random Things...

1. The only fight I have ever been in was in 4th grade and it was pretty violent. It was between me and my best friend Andrew. (Not Zahn) =)
2. I won second place in a costume contest in 1st grade. I was a smurf. I should have won, but I went to a really legalistic elementary school and they probably thought I would cast a spell on everyone.
3. I was spanked in first grade (the school called it cheating, I call it giving someone secretarial work) and the first whack made me have to use the restroom. So I had to go to the little wranglers room then return for my next two whacks. I think I still need therapy for this.
4. One of my favorite things besides a good ocean and beautiful skyline is a clear stary night! If you add Over The Rhine, a glass of wine, and a leisurely walk afterward, you are pretty close to heaven.
5. I wanted to be a marine biologist or an ER nurse.
6. I wasn't a big fan of the Asian culture. Then I lived in Japan. I wept when I had to leave and come back to the US.
7. I was the first person onto a pretty horrific accident. I'll never forget seeing the the things I saw.
8. When I was a youngin' and I was afraid, I would run and hide somewhere. I still do that sometimes today, but I'm getting better at facing my fears.
9. I love love love love love my church! www.christcc.org Check it out.
10. I've had many men tell me I look like Oscar De La Hoya
11. My sister Renee's first boyfriend taught me how to do headstands when I was a kid. One night for their pure entertainment, and the entertainment of all the guest in the house, I decided to perform my new trick. After assuming my headstand position, I proceeded to split my legs in the air, thus releasing a loud noise from my buttocks. They didn't know what was coming with the headstand did they?
12. In 4th grade my friend Kelly used to eat her earwax and flash us by pulling her dress up. I hope she isn't reading this.
13. One of my roughest times in life was my junior-senior year summer. Jesus literally picked me up and carried me through.
14. My most embarrassing moment (well not anymore) included my friend Tory's house, a clogged toilet, and a dixie cup.
15. My sisters and I used to sing three part harmony in the car wherever we went. One of our hits was "Oh I Ain't Got A Barrell of Money"
16. I love that Jesus teaches us to love! It something I really am learning and want to be better at.
17. I currently have the greatest boss ever. Beth W Bowen!
18. I wish my spring break this year (which will be doing the show Miss Saigon--come see it) could be like last year. Going to Florida and Disney!!
19. My nickname in Junior High was "lardbutt". I might as well go to therapy for this one too.
20. Have I told you how much I love cookies? What about cheesecake? M&Ms? Trail mix?
21. I really want to go skydiving
22. Creativity is my heartbeat. I've written tons of music and two and a half musicals. The songs aren't so bad, but the musicals need some work. =) I would love for Jesus to allow my music to heal people.
23. I never have had a speeding ticket! (Who wants to play "I have never?")
24. I used to rollerskate shows non-stop in the basement when I was younger. I also loved to perform regular non rollerskating shows on the front porch for the people passing by car.
25. I have a jacket and shoe fetish. My mom has told me I can't buy any more jackets. =)
