30 Things- The Intro and Question 1

Hello Lovelies!
 
I had a smoothie instead of my usual coffee today and while I'm pleased with my healthy decision, I have to admit that I am missing that extra pep in my step from the caffeine. Booooo.
 
Anywhoo.. there are lots of new faces around here so I thought I'd start a new series to help you guys get to know me better. Someone actually told me about this idea via Twitter, and the original post can be found here. I'm not going to do a question everyday until it's over, it will be fairly random when I decide to post the next question in the series. That makes it more fun though right?
 
Here's the list:
 
1. List 20 random facts about yourself.
2. Describe 3 legitimate fears you have and explain how they became fears.

16. What are your 5 greatest accomplishments?
17. What is the thing you most wish you were great at?
18. What has been the most difficult thing you have had to forgive?
19. If you could live anywhere, where would it be and why?
20. Describe 3 significant memories from your childhood.
21. If you could have one superpower, what would it be and what would you do with it first?
22. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 10 years? 15 years?
23. List your top 5 hobbies and why you love them.
24. Describe your family dynamic of your childhood vs. your family dynamic now.
25. If you could have dinner with anyone in history, who would it be and what would you eat?
26. What popular notion do you think the world has most wrong?
27. What is your favorite part of your body and why?
28. What is your love language?
29. What do you think people misunderstand most about you?

I cannot believe you got 15 stitches on your finger!!! How do they even fit 15 stitches into a little girl's finger??? Oh, that must have been rough.

Pretty sure I'm going to have to go to Yogurtland today now that you've mentioned it. ;)

Whitney @ I Wore Yoga Pants said...

But howwwwww could you work at Chuck E Cheese?! He's SO terrifying!! :((

Also, I'm going to go snuggle with your man while I'm in NYC. I hope we can still be friends.

15 stitches from SAFETY SCISSORS? WOW. Did he have a running start?

I cannot handle it when my blog is mentioned. I get embarrassed as well.

Allie @ Tales of a TwentySomething said...

I gasped out loud about the fork! This is such an awesome idea? Can I borrow it? pretty please? :)

Kayla Nelms said...

OMG! I looooove the OC still to this day!!!!

And I decided to jump on this bandwagon with you! And I gave you a little shout out! :)

Dana @ five30three said...

I love #20, obviously! And some more reasons we are BBFFs:
- I too have a scar on the tip of my left hand pointer finger from an exacto knife circa 1990.
- I am awful at sports.
- I freaked out yesterday when I saw that a dressing in my fridge had an expiration date of May. Then I breathed a sigh of relief when I noticed it was May 2013. Phew.

Such a cute list. Can't wait for more.
