Here are the 50 things about me I share with you today: I grew up in Rockwall, Texas I went to college at University of Arkansas in Fayetteville as well as University of Texas at Austin I was in the marching band in high school, playing the clarinet I once split open my thumb from shaking a snow globe too hard I only like to eat with small forks and spoons The only place I’ve been out of the country is Canada I’ve never been on a cruise My favorite color to wear is brown My 9th birthday was at adopt-at-bear which is a knock off of build-a-bear My first two blogs were poetry blogs My longest dream was the be a fiction author living in a loft in London I sat in the first row of X-Factor, directly behind Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul If I could eat sweet potatoes with eggs and sunflower seed butter for every meal I probably would I never remember what I washed or didn’t wash in the shower so I often have to do everything twice I’ve had six cats in my life but I’m a dog person I want to be a nation-wide speaker on the topic of body image and orthorexia I sewed a lot of my own clothes in high school My first job was working in the only music store in my home town making $8 an hour I skipped my senior year of high school and went straight to college I used to play piano, clarinet, guitar, and a little cello, all of which I miss dearly I eat curry nearly every single day My favorite dessert is a tart and powdery lemon bar My favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip The beauty mark above my lips used to be a lot bigger and I have removed it three times after being bullied in elementary school for it I have seen The Fellowship of the Ring over 40 times I was in a sorority at the University of Arkansas, Zeta Tau Alpha I’m Scottish, Irish and Dutch I am related to the famous clown Emmett Kelly Jr. When I was young, I painted my room green because it reminded me of my favorite lightsaber I have made the famous lemmas bread of the elves from Lord of the Rings I own an elvish dictionary and could speak elvish for awhile I was once a cocktail waitress at a party where I met Fergie Jimmy Johns makes my favorite sandwiches I was baptized when I was nine years old My grandpa was shot three times during the war and was left in the snow for 24 hours and when he was rescued, he has frostbite which is why we believe every single kid and grandkid of his, include me, has freezing feet all the time I once had mono for 3 months and didn’t even realize it Before I developed severe orthorexia, I ate spinach enchiladas twice a week because it was my favorite food ever. I hope one day I will be able to eat it as carefree as I did back then The only time I’ve ever been crowd surfing is when I  passed out from dehydration at Austin City Limits and had to be passed over to the fence, where I was dropped over and caught by the emergency medical team I once tooted in CrossFit while everybody was watching me finish an ab exercise I have been working on writing a science fiction book that I do plan to take some time to complete one of these days My biggest vulnerability is not being special in this world My biggest relief is to know I don’t have to be special in this world because Jesus Christ made it so I am my happiest when I am creating, usually a podcast, blog, program,
