100 Things Part 2
51. I met Donny Osmond when I lived in Provo. I was in Eagle Hardware & Garden with my roommate Stephanie and I was so nervous I was shaking. He didn't even want to talk about himself, he just kept asking me about myself. (We were in line next to each other at the cash register). When we drove off, I busted into tears. Not my coolest moment. But I was slightly obsessed with him.
52. I LOVED High School. I didn't get a very good education though. School was such a social thing for me. I always got really good grades, but I felt like I didn't take away anything useful! I test really well, so I would get an A on the test, and then forget everything I learned. I didn't learn to love learning until college.
53. I am always looking for a reason to celebrate. Birthday, Anniversary, Friday, Holiday, Payday, etc. There is ALWAYS something to celebrate if you get creative.
54. I'm not a big dare devil. In fact--I'm kind of a wimp. But before I die I want to do so many things. Scuba diving, cliff diving, skiing, bungee jumping and white water rafting are at the top of my list.
55. The first (and only) time I went snowmobiling, I thought I'd be really cool and go off on my own for a while. I ended up get stuck half way up a steep mountain and I had to get off the snowmobile, and PRAY my guts out until they came looking for me and could rescue me.
56. While I'm thinking about stupid things I've done--I'll throw in the fact that I slid down a banister at a local High School. (every single night for a week straight, actually). It was the VERY last time I wanted to do it that I got hurt. I lost my balance and fell backwards down the stairs. I should have broken my back. I was told by more than one person that it looked like I was being caught. I'm telling you--I have guardian angels.
57. I don't like the way I look without makeup--but I'm getting better at being more relaxed about it.
58. I am not a big TV junkie. I have 3 or 4 shows that I really like and those are the only shows that I watch. I record them, and fast forward the commercials (thank heavens for DVRs), then the TV goes off. I hate just laying around like a slob watching the boob tube.
59. I love my wedding ring. I especially love the way it looks in the Temple. The lighting is awesome there :)
60. Some people would change so many things about their wedding day. I can't think of anything I would change. I was relaxed, happy and so in love (still am). I laughed, cried and soaked in every second of the day. I wish we could do it all over again!
61. I want to go on a cruise some day. I love the ocean.
62. I have swam with Dolphins in the Atlantic Ocean. It was so cool.
63. Even though I'm afraid of heights, I LOVE LOVE LOVE theme parks. Six Flags is my favorite of all time.
64. I'm not really a pet person. I grew up with pets, but I don't really see us ever owning any. I think cats are adorable (and I detest people that are cruel to animals), but with Danny's allergies and my disinterest in caring for one--we probably won't ever have any. Maybe a goldfish.
65. I am an analyzer. I dissect things that aren't even interesting to most people. I sit and think about why things are the way they are. Sometimes it keeps me up at night--it's kind of ridiculous.
66. I like math & biology.
67. When I was little we played "night games" every Friday Night. We played monkey in the court, sardines, steal the flag and so many more. Those were good times.
68. All my brothers played baseball when they were little. I wanted to play "bonnet ball" (the girl version of baseball, I guess) but my parents never signed me up and I like to think it really screwed me up. We still joke about it all the time.
69. I love gymnastics. When I was little I would always play in the backyard doing somersaults, backhand springs, and other very basic tumbling moves. I would watch the gymnasts in the Summer Olympics and wish to be them some day. I obviously don't have the body to be a gymnast :)
70. I have boxes full of poems and short stories from my adolescence. I had this dream to be a writer and really enjoyed my creative writing classes in High School.
71. The summer of 1996 I played volleyball every single day with friends from my neighborhood (except Sundays). We played all afternoon and had great tans. I got really good at 2 on 2 in the sand.
72. I hate scorpions. Once on my mission a scorpion fell from the ceiling onto my bug net (it's a good thing I had one!). Luckily I wasn't stung but it was pretty traumatizing.
73. I'm not a fan of scary movies. I don't like talking about ghosts and/or evil spirits, it makes me physically sick.
74. I think being a waitress is one of the hardest jobs I've ever had. (Old Spaghetti Factory)
75. I am a techy. It's Danny's fault. I didn't know much about computers until I met him. Now I am a total geek about it.
76. I think Bill Murray and Steve Carrel are two of my favorite actors.
77. I love to dance. I'm not gifted in this area by ANY means, but I love ballroom dance, line dancing and country dancing. I would love to take lessons with Danny someday.
78. I have extremely large pupils. My optometrist always comments on it.
79. I have really thick hair. I have also had pretty much every hairstyle you can imagine. The 80's were not good to me. Thanks mom! Just kidding.
80. Danny and I only dated for 6 weeks before we talked about marriage. I think we both pretty much knew from the first or second date though. We had known each other for 3 years before we really started dating seriously.
81. I love carbonation. It's the bubbles! I know it's not good for me and I should probably give it up. *Sigh*
82. I don't mind my freckles. In fact, I think they're kind of cute.
83. I have so many moles. It's out of control. I've gotten lots removed, and I want to get them ALL removed eventually.
84. I have no idea how many children I want. I don't think we're completely in control of that anyway. I would love to adopt.
85. I really believe that anything is possible. I know it sounds cliché but it's true. I totally believe in the "American Dream".
86. I'm a pretty creative person but I have to be "in the zone".
87. I am comfortable with who I am.
88. I wish I understood football. My brother tried to start explaining the basics to me once, but it didn't stick. I think growing up with 4 brothers I learned to just block it out, because I didn't really feel like I fit in. Danny's not a big sports fan, but I am determined to figure it out someday!
89. I used to dress up my youngest brother as a girl. He was my little "rag doll" as he likes to call it. I would dress him up, and make him follow me around. He was the sister I never had. Poor kid. He is probably still messed up over that.
90. I've been told that I'm dramatic--but I never wanted to be in drama. Explain that one to me.
91. In Elementary School, I was always the tallest girl and had to stand on the back row with all the boys for school pictures, while the petite little girls all sat on chairs in the front row. Punks.
92. My VERY first crush was on a boy named Danny. Crazy huh?
93. I like watching my blood get drawn. It's so weird to watch it be sucked away into a needle.
94. I started an eBay business and became a Power Seller in just 3 months.
95. I have 6 months until my 10 year High School Reunion. I better hit the gym.
96. I am funny. I seriously am. I always knew I'd have to marry someone with a great sense of humor. Luckily I married the funniest GUY alive.
97. I used to write talks to give in Primary "just because". I would make my mom sit in the living room while I stood on the hearth and gave my talk to her. When it came time for our Primary class to give talks, the teacher would say "Does anybody besides RaeLynn want to give a talk?" Haha! Now I hate talking in church. (But I don't mind teaching...weird).
98. I always look at my birth month (August) on calendars and I could swear that August always has the ugliest picture. What's up with that?
99. I get back spasms and really bad headaches when I'm stressed out.
100. I just asked Danny what I should say for my last fact, and he said I should say that I know more about cars than he does. When it comes to the make and model of a car--he is right. I could tell you from a mile away what kind of car is headed towards me.
If you actually read all 100 facts, WAY TO GO. You should celebrate (see?!)
