25 Things About Me...

1) The circus song has been stuck in my head for as long as I can remember. I am pretty sure I was adopted and my biological parents were trapeze artists in the circus... I must have heard the song in my mother's womb or something.

2) My favorite time to have a peanut-butter and jelly sandwich is for a midnight snack with my brother Jack.

3) I haven't gone without nail polish on both my fingernails and toenails for almost 7 years now... I can't stand it so I always leave at least a sliver of polish on during dance performances. Hello my piggies look so naked with out a pop of color! Shh! Don't tell anyone!

4) I prefer raspberry jello with mandarin oranges, pineapples, and bananas over any other type of jello salad.

5) My favorite time of the day to take naps is around 5:30 because when I wake up the evening is just beginning and I still have time to get things accomplished. All I need is a little power nap to get me going.

6) I really really love milk with ice in it. I can't stand milk when it is on the warm side... unless it is in hot chocolate of course.

7) Sometimes when I am alone in my room I will start crawling around like an animal (on both my hands and feet kind of like a gorilla) to finish up tasks.

8) My favorite place to read books is in front of the fireplace where it is nice and warm.

9) Sometimes I get so into books that I will start to believe the stories and my mom will have to calm me down and talk me through things when there is a conflict in the story cause I get very paranoid.

10) On Saturday mornings my brother Jack and I head to the library to get some homework done but always bring along "Scrabble" to play when we need a break... Sometimes we end up taking longer to play the game then getting homework finished.

11) I have always been a "daddy's girl".

12) I have saved almost every letter, birthday card, and note that I have received from someone in my special box for the last 3 years. They are so special to me.

13) My five favorite movies/TV shows are: Perry Mason, Rocky, North by Northwest, An Affair to Remember, and The Sandlot.

14) My five favorite music artists are: The Beatles, (the first CD I ever got was of their greatest hits when I was 3 years old and proudly I still have it and in good condition:) Frank Sinatra, Simon and Garfunkel, Coldplay, and Mika.

15) I idolize my Grandma Copier because she is the most proper, intelligent, kindhearted, sweet, industrious, and humorous lady I have ever met in my entire life.

16) When I am with friends my favorite thing to do is just talk.

17) I prefer taking showers in the dark.

18) When I really just want time to think I hide in the back of my closet behind all of my clothes and just sit.

19) My greatest goal in life is to someday become a mother. I already have lists of boys and girls names that I like and I am constantly writing things down that I admire about mothers that I know.

20) When I am a grandma I have already decided that I am going going to dye my hair purple or that freaky maroon color and wear all kinds of big necklaces and Chinese kimonos.

21) My favorite animals are giraffes and flamingos. I think I am attracted to them because of their long legs.

22) My favorite game to play on long car rides is the "smile-at-strangers game".

23) When I am nervous I shake really really bad and I start to pinch the skin on my neck.

24) My two favorite perfumes are Sunflower, and CK One.

25) My favorite place to go late at night is on adventures to parks with my best friend.

Dear Wendy, Oh thank you what a compliment! I am pretty sure there are about 100 girls at school that would die to be on that list! He is such a great friend to me. I just love that kid:) I am still reading These Is My Words cause I have been so busy but I really like it so far. I can't believe how much happens in just the first 14 pages it is crazy. My mom told me that the sequel wasn't as good and the book and Alyssa Evans said she didn't like it much but I may still try it after I finish These Is My Words. If you end up reading it let me know what you think! And nope I haven't read The Book Thief either I will have to talk to Andrew about that one. Thanks! Love, Ellie
