Things I wish I would have put on my top 25

Facebook recently had this list going around to list 25 random things about yourself and tag people. I obviously did that, but after my list was posted, I thought of all these other ones that I wish I would have put... Hence the new list! Enjoy

1. When buying a gallon of milk I have to rub my hand along the bottom. I am not quite sure what I am looking for, but that is what my mom does.

2. People know I quote movies all the time, but I don't know if you realize how many movie/tv quotes go through my head on a given day

3. If I could chose to be on one game show it would be Wheel of Fortune, BUT I would have to take my Grandma (aka g'ma-izzle)

4. My cousin Stephen and I made up a card game one Thanksgiving called "Shitnanigans" and I honestly believe it is one of the best games ever.

5. When I pay my bills, I have to check those boxes on the back of the envelope just to make sure I have enclosed EVERYTHING necessary.

6. I wish I could make up the stories in Mad Libs for a living

7. I have a hard time not being the last person to speak on a text message. (and I usually always respond) I don't want the person to think I am mad at them for some weird reason.

8. When I meet famous people I completely clam up. I would honestly rather just pretend I have met them. It would be easier for me.

9. When I see old black and white pictures of people like my g'ma etc. I automatically feel they are way more distinguished and intelligent than I am.

10. I could tell you EXACTLY where I was and how I was sitting during the series finale of both Full House and FRIENDS

11. The song "It's all coming back to me now" by Celine Dion reminds me of my 7th grade class camping trip and HATING the dance

12. McDonalds have the best Diet Coke BY FAR

13. I had a poster of this guy holding a Corona in college that I named "Greg." I still get sad every once in awhile when I think about how I just threw him away.

14. When I get to church, the first thing I do is look through the book and see what songs we are singing that day. Sometimes I will pre-judge mass because of them.

15. I once had to participate in Gym wearing cowboy boots because I forgot my tennis shoes

16. When I was younger I had an imaginary friend, but only talked to them when I was in the bathroom.

17. I sang a solo in 6th grade in front of the whole school and can still remember the words.

Gosh that was fun... I am sure the list will keep going, but those are the ones that were weighing on my mind. haha

(I am not really sure how many people really read this blog anymore... but I will keep writing haha)

I totally read this blog!

Since I don't have a facebook because... uh.. I'm old, I'd love to do my 25 random things here.

1. I hate winter more than anything and wanted to do cartwheels to work this morning b/c spring is near... I can feel it!

2. When I was younger, my brothers and sisters would periodically form "clubs" against each other. We also used to throw mud pies at trees. God we were weird.

3. I also pre-judge church services by the songs that we sing.

4. In 6t grade I recited "Casey at the Bat" for a contest and got 6th place. I still can remember almost all of the words.

5. "Divine Secrets of a Ya-Ya Sisterhood" is my favorite book of all time. I read it once a year.

6. I hate the color purple.

7. I have two life long dreams. 1- To be the next Gwen Stephanie. 2-To live by the beach.

8. I think I decided this morning to run the Giest Half Marathon in May.

9. I have exactly 54 more days of grad school is over and I get my life back.

10. When I was young I used to "play" school.

11. My husband thinks this is hilarious.

12. In first grade I cried when I had to give my reader back to Mrs. Kaiser at the end of the year.

13. In second grade on the last day of school, I cried when in the bus line home. The principal asked me why I was crying. I lied and told her that my parents were moving to Tell City, so I was sad I wouldn't be back at David Turham. I was caught in the lie the next day.

14. I'm begining to dislike meat.. a lot.

15. I really don't enjoy watching movies. It's hard for me to sit still for 2 hours.

16. I wish I used the public library more.

17. I love my condo, but had the fact that I can't have a garden.

18. When I think about having children I get really scared.

19. I have no hobbies, at least none that I can stick with.

20. I have more gray hair than I want people to know about. =(.

21. My favorite t.v. show is the Office, but it has been disappointing me lately due to lack of new episodes.

22. I wish I had a piano in my house.

23. I love going to concerts.

24. I've had the following nicknames: "Jode", "J-G", "#1", "Truman"

Wow... I forget how much you and I are alike!! Let me hit some highlights:

2. Um... I think we all know this is true of me as well. Only I do it with song lyrics too! Just two days ago I sang part of Madonna's "Express Yourself" to convince a friend not to go on date with a lousy guy: "Second best is never enough, you'll do much better baby on your own!"

5. I've always done this! I usually have panic attacks after I finally mail the letter thinking I haven't addressed it right or I forgot a stamp.

14. SOOOOO guilty of this. Music will make or break the mass for me. I always judge the choir and their selections before mass starts.

16. I had an imaginary friend and his name was Charlie.
