Miss Shell Shocked

I missed out on this whole 25 things dealio while I was on my mission, but I figured it would be a good way to start up the blog again.

1.Those online quiz things are addicting. I don't know why I have know what shade of blue I am, but it seemed rather important ten minutes ago.

2. I obviously spend way too much time on the internet.

3. I have a strange desire to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro.

4. I really want to get a cute short haircut, but I always chicken out at the last minute.

5. One time a man in the cereal isle saw my cart and asked me, "Do you have a lot of kids, or do you just like cereal?"

6. I had 2 goldfish named Romulus and Remus, but oddly enough only Remus survived. Does that mean the fishbowl kingdom would be named Reme?

7. I can pronounce gyro correctly.

8. I have successfully roomed with the right group of girls to the point where I have never had to purchase any furniture or kitchen essentials.

9. I love scouring the newspaper but end up mostly just reading the comics.

10. As a small child, I pretended to be a Christmas elf and did little things for my parents, but then I felt guilty for deceiving them. Little did I know WHO was being deceived...

11. I think the world should be more friendly to people that go by their middle names. Everyone wants to know why, and clarifying paperwork is really exhausting at times. Is this really such a huge request?

12. I once won an award for "The Little Engine That Could." I have no idea what this really means.

13. I sometimes misspell my own name. The -elle and -ell at the end throw me off when I'm in a hurry. Plus e's and l's look rather similar in my sloppy cursive.

14. My current obsessions include: Hulu, grocery shopping, warm socks, my car, and making lists.

15. Yes I'm a music major. And no, I don't listen to only classical music.

16. I believe I have been to the symphony and the drag races in the same week.

17. I can name all the presidents in order.

18. My sister likes to point out that her name is appropriately an anagram for 'aimless'. I'm still trying to figure out if 'hell mice' can be applicable to my life.

19. There are few things in this world that are greater than sipping a cup of hot chocolate.

20. I have an irrational fear of spiders.

21. There is a cardboard cutout of Taylor Lautner in my apartment at this very moment.

22. But it needs to go, because it's super creepy.

23. Turns out 25 things is a lot of things.

24. I'm gonna try to make my life more interesting by 2012.

25. But no promises.
