I’m open to more suggestions! 

I like peeling sunburns.

I like that every time I pluck my eyebrows I sneeze.

I love bacon, more than I should.

Pizza is the greatest food of all time.

Jigglypuff is my favorite Pokémon.

My favorite Youtube video is of the “Trololo Cat”.

Easily the best corny joke is “When do you have a dance in outer space? – when you PLANET”.

My favorite random fact is that dolphins are the only animals other than humans that have sex for fun.

I am terrified of feet, pregnant women, heights, zombies, needles, objects going in and around my eyes, and hospitals.

I don’t have a favorite book, I like too many to narrow it down. However, the books I have re-read the most include: the Harry Potter series and The Stranger by Albert Camus.

If I ever have a girl, I want to name her Eleanor Jessica.

If I ever have a boy, I want to name him Joshua Wayne.

If I ever want kids, I know I want to adopt. So I don’t know how those names will work out.

My favorite 90’s song is “Closing Time” by Semisonic.

I’m super OCD about which direction the toilet paper is going and that my desktop isn’t cluttered.

I love wine.

My best [and favorite] recipe is Jewish Lasagna with Matzah crackers or Latkes with applesauce.

I love a lot of movies, but the top five that I never get tired of watching are [and often watch while I’m drunk and trying to sleep]: Into the Wild, Everything is Illuminated, The Sound of Music, Pride & Prejudice, and the Godfather.

My favorite Disney movie is Sleeping Beauty.

I wish Meg from Hercules were a princess so I could say she’s my favorite Disney Princess.  Otherwise it’s Belle.

My favorite childhood toy is a big bunny my mom got me when I was two from JCPenny. I brought him to college. His name, creatively, is Big Bunny.  I still can’t sleep without him.

I don’t have my ears pierced.

I love the noises printers make and I like watching the cartridge put down the ink.

I’m still scared of the dark. 

I could honestly live outside for the rest of my life.

I hate exercise, but I love unintentional workouts [like longs walks, hiking, and illegally crawling under fences to get to a sectioned off side of state parks]

The cello is my favorite instrument and I wish I could play it.

I like people who are smarter than me.

Social media scares me, so I overuse it. 

I like being a smart ass.

I don’t like hurting people.

I am not a slut. If there’s anything I could take back from freshman year of college it’s that everyone assumes I sleep with just anyone. I have commitment issues; I don’t want to be in a relationship but I like the company of the opposite sex. This common misconception…  I would say this is my biggest regret so far in my life.

My brother and my sister are the most important people in my life.

My favorite N64 game is The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask.

I may seem like a crazy cat lady, but honestly, that cat is all I’ve got with me that’s tangible and I love her like crazy. She’s my best friend. And no, I don’t think that’s weird and I would probably kill if anything happened to her. She keeps me sane. That being said, if I could bring my dog to college, it’s the same sentiment. I love animals far more than I love people. 

My top five songs that always seem to make it onto playlists are: Moonlight Sonata Adagio Sostenuto- Beethoven; Stranger Things Have Happened – The Foo Fighters; Savannah – Relient K; Society- Eddie Vedder; Havalina – Pixies.

I wish I could sing… well.  

I envy people who are funnier than me.

I’ve only said “I love you” to someone once, and in retrospect, I didn’t mean it. 

I’ve said it a thousand times. If I could live my life the way I wanted to, without any obligations to my family or parents, my education, whatever- I’d drop everything, trek and go out and live in some forest near the ocean, build a tree-house and be self-sustaining off my own crops and livestock. I’d also build a boat in which I would reenact my fantasy life as a notorious international pirate. 

I like getting lost.

I like going to “old peoples homes” and sitting and listening to total strangers talk to me.

If there’s one person I’d love to be more like, it’s my grandfather. He’s the most genuine person I know.

My favorite childhood Halloween costume is when I dressed up like a poodle.

Sometimes I buy a bunch of water and make peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches and take them around to homeless people.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned is this: “When you love, you forgive. And I know learning to love is hard. But some day it’ll happen.” thank you Joseph Doyle. You were one hell of a man. 

Children scare me, but Moses do I love them.

Sometimes I wear a sweater I stole from my brother just so I can feel like I’m near him. It’s ugly as hell, but it has to be my favorite article of clothing.

I’m really bad at saying ‘no’.

If I don’t like what I’m painting for someone, I paint a penis in the picture so hidden that I’m the only who can find it. 

still probably in my top five of favorite songs ever.

I got bored so I thought I’d make a little video of how I basically skipped class and shit to go play in the woods for hours on end. Also, I went and watched the sunrise for the first time in my life and made a little (well, sort of) timelapse video. I was really, really bored. but I have to say, watching the sunrise was really effing cool.
