Finding Me

I’ve been doing a lot of traveling and searching lately. With it, I figured it was time to make some additions to my list of 25 Random Things. Here goes nothing…

1. I love flip flops. I love heels too, but I could wear flip flops every day of my life and be happy
2. I dislike snobby, pretentious and rude people
3. I’d rather eat an In-n-Out burger or play beer pong at a dive bar than go to a fancy restaurant or  a high maintenance event. Beer and good friends will do just fine
4. I hate what social media has done to us as a society. It was much nicer when we spent more quality time with real people in person or picked up the phone when we wanted to talk
5. I don’t like wearing earrings, but I do because my mom always said you were naked without them
6. I think a girl looks sexier in pj pants then lingerie
7. I love the people in my life who can sit with me for long stretches in silence. No phones, no TV, just silence
8. I like insanely cheesy movies
9. I can still walk away from anything in my life in 30 seconds. A part of me is saddened by this
10. I love perfectly painted toenails, but I hate perfectly painted fingernails
11. Staying for breakfast still scares the hell out of me. To me, it’s the kinkiest thing you can do
12. I’d rather be an ice cream maker than a Barista
13. I LOVE big cities, but I also LOVE small towns
14. I don’t know what my “thing” is. I wish I had one
15. Scobby Doo, Spiderman and The Beatles have been ruined for me. How do you go on loving things when they always make you think of people who hurt you?
16. Sometimes, I wonder if I’ve ever really been in love. On the flip side, I wonder if anyone’s really loved me. I see what others do for the ones they really love and since no one has done that for me, well…
17. I’m always scared and scream, but I love carnival rides
18. I’m impulsive and give in to what I want. A lot. I wish I had more self control. Most of the time, I regret not holding out
19. I love trashy romance novels and spy stories. It’s one of my ways of unplugging, shutting off my head and escaping
20. While I have a gift for writing, I have no desire to write a book like everyone else seems to. I wouldn’t mind editing a friend’s, but writing my own book is not on my bucket list
21. I admire and envy the people who never look back and can walk away from friends. I don’t know if I’m too loyal, care too much or am just plain stupid
22. The thing that scares me most about being pregnant is that my feet will get bigger and stay that way. I love my tiny feet. Besides my nose, they’re my favorite body part
23. I love kids. They are these amazing, tiny people who always help you see clearer.
24. I have horrible hand-eye coordination. I’m self conscious about it. Yet, my horse skills are amazing. Not sure how
25. One day, maybe my birthday wish will come true. One day.
