Fifty-five facts about your faithful female friend who fancies films featuring far-out, ficticious fairy tales.

1. I prefer a fruity dessert to a chocolate one.
2. I tend to have those mildly psychic experiences most people have: knowing when the phone is about to ring and who’s on the other end, thinking about something completely random and it happening a couple of days later, etc.
3. I frequently have lucid dreams, which I love for the most part.
4. Not to say that I agree with them, but I find conspiracy theories fascinating.
5. I like wearing shorts to bed. Never pants (unless the heat isn't working).
6. Bad spelling and grammar annoy the heck out of me. (A mistake is one thing; a constant misuse is another.)
7. I am opinionated but most of the time, I don't share my opinion with others.
8. I secretly love hugs, but only if you are one of a select few.
9. I love the smell of coffee.
10. I am more OCD at work than anywhere else. (And I didn't know this, but my coworkers noticed! I am slightly embarrassed and hesitant when I routinely fix what is not in place now; but I still can't stop.)
11. I don't like the fact that Will Ferrel is replacing Steve Carrell on The Office.
12. I like walking... but only really as an individual activity. My iPod is my company.
13. I wasn't sure how long I would last at this blogging thing; definitely didn't think it would be this long.
14. I've been trying to condition myself to not let things bother me. (i.e. I am currently using pink post its at work, so the color is always in my peripheral vision. I try not to let the stapler out of place bother me, but that one is going to take prayer and a miracle. etc.)
15. I want to own and learn to use a sewing machine.
16. The only part of laundry I like is cleaning the lint trap.

20. I love accents from all over Europe! (I wish I had one...)
21. Moe Monday and Dollar Wednesday are my favorite days.
22. For the longest time, Mom would refer to my aunt as "my seester". B, Ash, and I would make fun of her by calling each other "seester"... it has stuck and is a regular nickname we call one another. (The joke's on us!)
23. "Antique Yellow" is quickly becoming one of my favorite colors.
24. If/when I have a wedding, I want the main color to be eggplant. (dark purple)
25. I'm the RiverKidz craft girl!

28. I am hot natured... and wish I was the opposite.
29. If I am at home alone and I consiously think about how I haven't talked at all that day, I get the urge to say something (anything)... but I don't... I get too embarrassed.

35. I like GoodWill shopping.
36. Under my non-girlie, shy, quiet exterior, I am a hopeless romantic.

38. I am a fashion tragic.
