25 Things You Didn't Even Know You Wanted To Know About Me

In honor of the 25 glorious years of life I have experienced thus far, here is a list of 25 things I'm sure you were dying to know about me:

1. I love the smell of tire stores, snowmobile exhaust, and auto body shops.
2. I am deathly afraid of the dark.
3. I hate when someone jumps out at me, but I can hide it pretty well.
4. I am a very loyal person.
5. I am good at reading people, even if I don't always like the book.
6. My favorite color is red. Black is a close second.
7. If I was a millionaire, the first thing I would buy is someone to do my hair for me every day.
8. I love hanging out with my family.
9. I have snorted Root Beer out of my nose three times in my life. All three times I was laughing at my dad.

20. I love classical music.
21. I'm a forgiving person, sometimes to a fault.
22. I love grammar.
23. My favorite feeling is the one I get when I see the light-bulb come on in the mind of someone I just taught.

25. I really really like lists.
