25 totally random facts

I am having a seriously hard time gathering my thoughts together to post something, so here's some randomness about me... I posted something like this back in February, but... yeah....

1) I want to be homeless. Seriously. I want to wash my hair in a McDonald's bathroom sink and wonder where my next meal will come from. I want to see and experience life as a homeless person does.

2) Being a parent is the hardest job in the entire world. I have a new level of love and respect for my parents. Mia is my world though... I adore her. She's one of the best things that has ever happened to me.

3) I need people. I am a people person. I honestly do not understand people who need so much alone time. I can't even remember the last time I thought to myself it would be so nice to have some alone time. That's definitely not me.

4) I'm not an animal person. Dogs are cool, but the second one jumps on me, I'll freak out. Don't know why. However turtles are kinda cool...

5) My dad inspires me. His boldness blows my mind. I don't know if I'll ever find a man that I respect as much as I do my dad.

6) I think that the new facebook is lame. I do not spend nearly as much time on facebook as I used to. THANK GOD.

7) It's very hard for me to say the words "I love you", but I genuinely love my friends. I wouldn't be where I am today without them.

8) I am opinionated. Sometimes I give out my opinion when I know I shouldn't. I'm working on that one... I'm still learning the filter.

9) I want more than anything to be like Jesus. He is the most radical man to ever walk the face of this earth. I'm in love with Him.

10) I'd rather be with a man who's a recovering heroine addict that is MADLY in love w/ Jesus than a "perfect", hypocritical, passive Christian.

11) I am very trusting. It's just part of my nature. When I meet you, I automatically trust you. Which is a blessing and a curse. I think that's why I'm so open and honest. I just trust people.

12) I never got my wisdom teeth. They just never grew in. Is that normal?

13) I hate this mindset that we have as Americans that if we don't buy our kids lots of crap that they do not need, we don't love them.

14) I wish I was musically talented. Sometimes I ask God why he didn't give me that gift... I think it's because he knew it'd be too prideful if I was musically talented.

15) I have been an entire week without taking a shower. I was pretty frickin nasty. It was freezing cold... I was in Africa... (ha- I don't know why I just admitted to that)

16) I am not a picky eater. Sure, there's stuff that I'd rather not eat (squash- gross), however I'll eat pretty much anything. Born to be a missionary I guess.

17) I'm pretty sure I do not wash my jeans often enough. How often is "enough"? I don't get when people wash their jeans after only wearing them once. That's just strange.

18) For years I wished I had straight hair instead of curly. In the past few months I've embraced the curl more than ever. That doesn't mean that I'm retiring the flat iron or anything... just not using it quite as much.

19) I absolutely hate cats. I'm highly allergic PLUS I was traumatized as a child... we got a little kitten that went psycho on me and clawed my lip. It's fingernail got stuck in my lip. I was about 7 years old. It was truly traumatizing. (What is it about things getting caught in my lip??)

20) I would love to have a few little boys. However, there are days when Mia gives me such a hard time and I feel so overwhelmed that I think I'll never have any more kids. One day, I suppose.

21) I was bald until I was 3. Literally... bald. That's part of the reason why my mom got my ears pierced. She dressed me in lacy, pink dresses and STILL people would say, "What a cute little boy!"

22) I'm terrified of needles. When I have to have blood drawn I get all teary eyed and sometimes faint. It's quite embarrassing. I'm not sure why I don't mind needles as much when I get a piercing...

23) I had really bad asthma as a child. When I was 4, I was hospitalized for a week because of an asthma attack. I remember it very well. I rarely have issues with it anymore though.

24) I don't remember how to write in cursive. I can remember certain letters, but when I try to write and actually make words, my mind goes blank. I learned how to write in cursive in 1st grade but was never required to write in cursive after 1st grade.

25) Somewhere deep down inside of me is the desire to plant a church. Don't know if or when that's ever going to happen, but the desire is there. Runs in the family I guess.
