25 things about me you never cared to know

1. I would love to live in a hotel, or have someone make my bed everyday and put out clean towels when I’m at work

2. Whenever I am considering buying a new piece of furniture I think about how hard it would be to move and usually decide it isn’t worth it

3. My most well-known nickname is 23. To this day, sometimes when I’m out in Chattanooga I am introduced this way to strangers

4. I have slept an entire evening in a hot tub. My hands were really wrinkled the next morning and I didn’t feel so good

5. There is not one country in the World that I would pass up the opportunity to visit

6. I’ve always hoped to live at least one complete year in another country

7. I’m a sucker for any guy who can make me laugh. Guys who wear suits are good too…A guy in a suit who could make me laugh would be like kryptonite.

8. I lived in Canada from the age of 1 to 12. No, I did not live in an igloo. No, I cannot speak French

9. I have never been in a Haunted House.

10. I’m seriously considering getting a doctorate in developmental economics. My dream job would involve helping third world nations develop their economies to pull their people out of poverty

11. I am three quarters of the way through at least 5 books

12. I have an incredibly short attention span. There are a ton of movies I have never seen because I didn’t think they were worth a two hour investment

13. At any given moment I am missing either my keys, my debit card or my cell phone

14. 2009 is the ten year anniversary of me leaving Florida and meeting the people who are still my best friends in the world

15. My favorite quote is “Go confidentially in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you imagined.”

16. My biggest fear is that I’ll look back on any part of my life with regret

17. I cannot drive to Atlanta without listening to rap music. I usually rap along in my car. People probably see me and laugh.

18. I love Stephen Colbert. (Please see #7)

19. I hate Jack in the Boxes. Not the restaurants, the toy. I don’t like not knowing when that guy is going to pop out. I hate the game perfection for the same reason

20. I am anti-high-five. Every time someone initiates said celebration I have a moral dilemma. Should I abandon my principles in order to be socially acceptable?

21. I absolutely love photography. On my last trip to Asia I literally took over 1000 pictures

22. Sometimes when I look at pictures of other team’s trips to Cambodia my eyes well up with tears because I want to be there so bad

23. Someday I’d like to write a book

24. I worked in the restaurant industry for over 10 years. 2008 is the first year since I was 16 that I will not have a W2 from a restaurant. I’m one of those weirdo’s that actually kind of misses it

25. I think about too many things way too much. Sometimes I wish I could turn my brain off for a bit
