A Fact For Every Year

So it's been awhile since I've posted and I decided to do a random update. Since this is my blog, we're going to focus on some random facts about me, because who doesn't love random, pointless facts about people? Okay, not everyone, but if you clicked the link, you must be a LITTLE bit interested in my random facts. Because I'm 24, we'll do a fact for every year.

1. I am certified to drive a forklift.
2. When I was 15, I went to Disney World the week "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" was released. I begged my best friend's dad to go to the store and buy it for me. I never finished the "Order of the Phoenix" and never really had the desire to read another Harry Potter book.
3. I've been without a car for the better part of a year and have been driven everywhere just about any time I've been in a car. So now when I do drive, I get anxious.
4. I prefer strawberry jelly over grape and crunchy peanut butter over creamy.
5. I'm usually not one to initiate a conversation unless I have something to say, especially if it's like on instant messenger. I love random conversation, but I don't like to be the one to start it up because I feel like I'm bothering people.
6. I am extremely cynical about relationships and I really have no desire to get married or ever be in a serious relationship. I'm not saying I will NEVER get married, I just really don't want to.
7. I have some awful trust issues.
8. It annoys the crap out of me when people pretend they're listening when they're really not. To me, it's less disrespectful for you to tell me to shut up.
9. Even though I've never lived in Arkansas, I support Razorback Athletics over any Oklahoma college team.
10. SEC Football is life, the rest of NCAA Football is pretty good too, but I don't watch NFL Football.
11. I don't keep up with the NBA until the semi-finals, but I will always support my Thunder :)
12. I can't remember what it feels like to not have a headache. I've had one every day of my life since I was seven.
13. People who jump on every band wagon that passes by annoy me. If you've jumped on a few here or there, I'm fine with that. I usually try not to though.
14. I hate when it takes more brain cells to decipher a text than it does to read it. If I have to spend 10 seconds or more trying to figure out what you're saying to me because you shorten every single word, I'm probably not gonna reply to you.
15. The thought or smell of dill pickles makes me wanna puke.
16. When I was little, I spent so much time in the pool and sun in the summertime that my hair would be nearly blonde by the end of summer.
17. I have a bit of a brand obsession with Reebok Realflex. I want a million pairs :)
18. I get bored easily, so when someone asks me to go somewhere--unless I feel like crap--I rarely say no because I'm always afraid I'll be bored while they're gone.
19. I'm the type of person who would rather spend money on experiences (travel, concerts, etc.) than things (shoes, clothes, electronics). The memories you make are more valuable than items you may forget about in a few years.
20. My Pokemon-obsessed 4-year-old nephew has reverted me back to my 12-year-old ways when it comes to that stuff. While I'm not collecting cards and such, I really miss the days of playing Pokemon Yellow and Red on GameBoy. I'm a bit of a nerd.
21. Summertime is my favorite time of the year. I love the sun and the hot weather, shorts and tank tops, watermelon and BBQ. I would take the sweating year round over freezing to death in the winter time.
22. If I'm upset, the LAST thing you want to do is ask me what's wrong. That's just asking to get your own feelings hurt.
23. I hate tomatoes, but love tomato soup, ketchup, marinara sauce and all that good stuff.
24. I'm the type of person who hates when my favorite song on an album becomes a single because that means everyone will be singing it. There are very few people I will share my not-so-well-known music with.
