Rumors

So there is the 25 Things list going around on Facebook. Here are mine. They could be true or they could be rumors.

1) I ALWAYS re-read texts, emails, notes etc. before sending them for fear that I will look stupid because of spelling mistakes or poor sentence structure.

2) I'm very proud of my Scandinavian heritage. So much so that I have considered not using my father's last name and instead, using my mother's last name so my name would be completely Norwegian.

3) I want to marry a man that is a musician, has tattoos, and loves Jesus. I don't know if this will ever happen but I hope it does. I mean, who could not love a guy that is kind of bad-ass and plays the guitar!

4) I really feel that music is inside my veins. I would rather lose a finger, (although I hope that never happens) than lose my voice because I've always thought that it was my best asset, musically.

5) Sometimes I hate going to live concerts because I can be too outwardly critical of those performing probably because I wish it were me on stage. (This leads into the next one...)

6) I want to be a folk-singing, funk and reggae influenced songstress but I have never found the opportunity, time, courage to do so. Maybe this is where my tattooed, Jesus-loving, musician husband will come in handy!

7) I love colour. There is no white wall in my house and I very rarely wear all black. I never realized this until a friend told me I have very colourful clothing a couple of years ago.

8) My favorite geometric shape in the circle. My favorite clothes have circles on them and my favorite earrings are circles. I love circles.

9) I want to have a least three children.

10) I want to get my nose pierced but I'm too scared to do it for fear my mother will disapprove. She thinks nose piercings are the grossest thing you can do to your body even though my brother has a tattoo and probably plans to get more.

11) I love cardigans.

12) I hate answering the phone and sometimes I just let it ring.

13) I've never filed taxes and I don't know how.

14) I have read all of Jane Austen's books, seen all of the movies, documentaries etc. I think she is a literary genius and that she was ahead of her time.

15) I like taking long drives in my car all alone.

16) Although I have a vast and varied collection of music, I will listen to the same artist for weeks on end in the car or on the bus until I get bored of them.

17) I don't like the dark.

18) I watch The Weather Channel every morning to see what the day is going to be like.

19) I like extra-aged, strong cheddar.

20) I'm want to get a tattoo someday.

21) I think my shy demeanor often influences what opportunities do and don't come my way.

22) I'm the biggest procrastinator I know.

23) I dislike tomatoes. Always have, always will.

24) I can't draw but I consider myself to be artistic. I'm only "good" at abstract art.

25) I'm obsessed with the show Stargate Atlantis even though I think science fiction in rubbish.
