The 25


I was tagged in a Facebook note where you have to write 25 things about yourself and tag 25 other people. My biggest issue was finding 25 people to tag. 25. 25. 25. They aren't too important, but you can read it, too.

1. My team always wins.

2. I make Kristina's salsa without Breeze's help now. She will find out when she reads this.

3. I ask questions, and I don't care if they make you uncomfortable. 

4. Sometimes I forget about huge parts of my life since they are so irrelevant and distant. It's not that they are secret, or that I'm even good at keeping any- I just forgot about it.

5. One of my favorite things to do is to make people feel like idiots. Deziree did this to me. 

6. I would love to be a dirty politician. I want to go down in history for something that changed the lives of millions, and I want to do it in every illegal way possible. 

7. I would love to call my dad from the police station to come bail me out for doing something completely ridiculous. Not to embarrass him- something that he'll try to hold in a laugh when people ask why I was arrested. 

8. If I didn't live in a big house- the residence kind- I probably wouldn't have any friends.

9. My relationship with God is completely erroneous yet wildly attractive. He treats me like a stupid blond, and I yell at Him like we have had an off/on relationship for years. I wouldn't trade it for anything- I love it. We don't like each other very much; we love each other because we have to. He never agrees with me and He gets what He wants so I can only disobey for so long. I can be mad at Him and I can say I don't like Him. I know what He has done for me, but this is my relationship so you can't judge me and I won't like you very much if you do.

10. My relationship with my Dad is getting better and better. Sometimes, he texts me from the living room when I am in the dining room- responding to a text from earlier that day about meeting up for coffee. Our coffee outings are rare, but I cling to every second. Sometimes I feel like we are complete strangers because we never really had a chance to get to know each other, but then I think to myself that we never needed that chance. Our friendship is so intimate that we don't have to talk about the past or about each other- we just figure it out as we go along. He is the kind of person who, every time you talk, you feel like you share a secret from the rest of the world. There are so many small things about him that I notice and think to myself that I might want that characteristic. I want people to feel that way when I talk to them...

11. The closest I've ever gotten with anyone and ever will get with anyone is with Bethany. She knows all about me and likes me anyway. Guaranteed, if she posts 25 things, I already know those 25 things. My favorite moments with her are when it's just us two in the car. We get the best conversations in then. We should never give each other advice though. It never has worked out. I have absolutely no idea where I would be if it wasn't for her. I get really upset and hostile when I haven't seen her after about three months. I usually end up picking a fight with my mom because of it. She is the kind of person who, after you have gone so long with no contact, you wonder what's missing in your life. Kind of like forgetting the name of a movie a line came from. 

12. I miss living with Rony, Vania, and Adelle so much. We had a blast last year.

13. My problem with marriage is that I feel like the game is really over. It seems that, because you have to share your life with someone else, all your dreams are done for. So everything I want to accomplish in life, I feel like I have to get it all done before I marry or else I'll never get to do it. I don't want to marry so I can get help paying off my school loans or so I won't be lonely. I'll marry someone who excites me and I want to marry so I can be a foster mom. But I have so much time so dating and relationships just aren't priority right now.

14. I believe OCD is bull. Depression, too. Do not do not do not come to me with depression. Oh my gosh I get so mad- probably because there are so many people who have so much to be depressed about and they maybe were for like a day but decided they didn't want to live like that. Why would you want to live like that? For the attention? Please. I don't cater to that- I don't sympathize. The most I'll do is buy you chocolate and even that is an attempt to get you to stop talking to me. 

15. I hate people who argue politics and don't know what they are talking about. I'm not claiming to know all about politics, and when I don't know then I can it and listen. And I hate it when people complain about the country but don't vote, lobby, or do anything about it. You don't like something then do something about it. Don't tell me the electoral college is crap. It's there to keep people like you from voting. Don't tell me welfare systems are useless. Do you want your mail, your drivers license, your food stamps, your gas mileage reimbursed, your tax returns? 

16. I'm not an angry person, although I seem like it right now. I do enjoy some things, but they are the small things. I enjoy reading my coffee cups and I love getting up early and jogging in the park when the sun comes up and I LOVE dancing in the park basketball court to music only I can hear and people watch me. I enjoy pretending not to notice people I know when I walk on campus and I love working on huge projects with researchers on Saturdays when the sun is going down. 

17. We spent over $100 on junk food last Friday. 

18. Cilantro is amazing. I could put it on anything.

19. My first summer at Disneyland with Breeze and Deziree was the best time of my life. I never had so much fun for so long.

20. This summer will be an equally exciting summer. I have so many options ranging from working on the Disney cruise liner, a trip to Europe, traveling all over America giving presentations to working on public policy on Capitol Hill. 

21. Brian Alex Stewart is the most interesting person I have ever met. 

22. I am not the type of person who wants you to feel like you can trust me with your secrets. I'm not saying that you can't trust me with your secrets or what not, but I want to know all about you because I want to figure you out and I think your secrets and your life experiences and how you are when you are alone is what is interesting. I may or may not mention your life in my conversations with other people if it is relevant but my asking you about your life is because I truly want to know- it's not an attempt to make you feel like you have a close friend. That sounds mean but it's the only word order I know.

23. I love a challenge. Law school will be a challenge which is why I'm going. If you don't think I can do it, I'll go for it. I love challenging people, challenging projects, challenging classes. I will revolve my life around anything that is difficult.

24. I don't fear change. I expect it because nothing ever stays the same and I am disappointed when something changes that I wasn't expecting. My life changes so much, I have no idea where I'll be in five months. I could be anywhere. I could be in Costa Rica tanning on the beach drinking a pina colada with The Unmentionable. Or I could be at the White House eating dinner with the president and his family. I could be on a liner in a white dress hosting a show. Anywhere. ANYWHERE. That is what excites me about my life.

25. I generally like everyone. I may hate that you are depressed or the things you have done or the way you crossed me back in the day or that you are so stupid or that you are smarter than me or whatever but there might be something you said that caught my attention or we might have something in common- just that one little thing that caught my attention and I cling to it and that one little thing changes everything. Everything.
