I’ve been kind of obsessed with going to the movies lately. I’ve been the last 3 weekends in a row. On the 7th I saw “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and loved it! Last weekend I saw “Beauty and the Beast in 3D and it was business as usual. Today I just got out of “Red Tails,” which needed some serious continuity editing, and now I’m sitting in the theater for “Iron Lady.” So far it’s all middle-aged and old couples in here, so I fit in pretty well. We’ll see how this one goes!

1. Calvin and Hobbes is my favorite comic strip of all time.
2. It bothers me when people can’t spell.
3. One time I ripped a hole in my abdomen on a camping stake and we didn’t have time to get to the hospital, so my dad stitched me up in our motorhome before I lost too much blood. (he’s a doctor, but not a surgeon)
4. I can easily read upside-down, or mirror images of text, but I sound like a kindergartener when I read upside-down mirror images…well, maybe a 1st grader.
5. My dream house is in Wyoming, Colorado, or Montana. It has a library with floor-to-ceiling bookcases (with library ladders and is full of hardcover books) and a huge kitchen with tons of storage and counter space.
6. I have perfect pitch, but I wish I could circular breathe.
7. I don’t actually remember this, but one time when I was two, my dad came home from work late at night and kissed me goodnight before he went to bed. I woke up and said to him, “daddy, will you come visit me sometime?” (He worked long hours and had to commute into Philadelphia, so he was hardly ever around.) Shortly after, we moved across the state into a house that was only a block from the hospital so he could spend more time with the family.
8. I had to take so much liquid amoxicillin as a kid that if I smell anything resembling it or see bottles that look like it, it sends chills up and down my spine.
9. I am the easiest person in the world to scare.
10. I am really good at reading people.
11. My index fingers curve inwards towards the rest of my fingers.
12. I wish my emotions weren’t so clearly displayed on my face.
13. I don’t like the way the marshmallows in Lucky Charms squeak on my teeth.
14. I don’t like making decisions that affect other people.
15. One time I got kicked off of the ferris wheel at an amusement park for something I didn’t do. It was ridiculous.
16. I am terrified of getting Alzheimer’s disease when I’m older.
17. I’m always exhausted after vacations because apparently I don’t know how to “relax.” :)
18. I’m a perfectionist.
19. I’m not good at accepting compliments because I rarely believe they’re true.
20. I grew up in the house that the former owners of Rolling Rock beer had built and lived in.
21. I still have the first teddy bear I was ever given, but I don’t like receiving stuffed animals.
22. I’ve never broken a bone, but I have tons of scars.
23. I have an unnatural fear of ocean creatures.
24. I’ve never really kissed a boy.
25. Few things in this world make me as happy as singing.
