25 Random Things About myself

I LIVE for competition. It's what makes me work hard and keeps me interested. Want to study for a test individually? No way. Want to play competitive Jeopardy on the topic with the class? HELL YES.

I'm allergic to everything. Pet Dander (even though I have a cat), trees, pollen, mold, everything. AND I'm lactose intolerant. So, I'm pretty much allergic to Life.

I am highly afraid of vomit. Not so much me vomiting, but being there when someone else is or them vomiting on me. And I feel bad because if my friend was sick, I would love to help her, but would likely be hiding in a corner instead.

I love to eat. I try not to eat without a purpose, but sometimes its hard. Food is just so good! My favorite places to eat are Panera Bread, Carbón, Big Bowl, etc. And I love fruit smoothies. My favorite fruit is Mango.

The best birthday I ever had was my 16th. I was in Costa Rica with my school and they threw me a surprise party. We had just hiked for hours and it was pouring rain, but when I walked (very slowly) back to the kitchen, everyone was sitting there and surprised me. and then they surprised me with a cake later at dinner. and a delicious whole mango with streamers and ribbons poking out of it. :)

I HATE dark chocolate. I think chocolate should not be good for you and should not be bitter. It should be sweet, delicious, creamy, and either milk chocolate or white chocolate.


I am scared of being scared. Even the idea of horror movies freaks me out.

I'm a lefty. And I still tie my shoes with bunny ears (most left handers do). But I do everything else (kick, throw, play tennis) with my right. I think this is because I was ambidextrous up until 4th grade. But then they made me choose a hand so I chose my left.

I'm half New Yorker. My mom was born and raised in New York, and because she's a flight attendant, we visit there all the time. As a result, I only say Soda. Not Pop like everyone else. And if im not paying attention, sometimes you might hear me say idear in stead of idea.

I'm really weird about overspending. I'm really bothered when people buy me expensive things or pay too much for something for me.

I love laughing. Having a great sense of humor is something i will always find attractive.

I hate leg stubble!!! When I'm stretching my legs or something, if I feel stubble, everyone else must be able to see the stubble, so i get irritated and paranoid.

I hate crowded refrigerators. Mine at home is stuffed to the brim, and has ridiculous bags of nail polish falling out of it. You just want bread? Too bad. You're gonna get milk, blueberries and nail polish first.

I forgive people, but I don't forget. This was something my mom taught me to do when I was younger and it stuck with me.

I donated blood in high school. I was a little scared at (mainly cause I didnt want to be next to anyone feeling dizzy), but it was awesome. When they took the needle out, it hurt like hell. But it was worth it.

19) I love sleepovers, but people hate me at sleepovers. I fall asleep early, and wake up early. I make myself go to sleep around 2 or 3 am because my body hates me. If I get less than 5 hours of sleep in a single night, I will get really sick the next day. Happens every single time. And I'm just naturally an early riser. I dont think I've ever slept past 10am in my life.

It's incredibly difficult for me to go to sleep without some form of darkness, blanket, and quiet.

I love Broadway musicals. I have always had dreams of singing and acting on Broadway, and I hang onto those dreams. Ive seen over 20 musicals, and I collect the playbills from all of them.

I like reality TV shows. Love the Real World and the after-show challenges like The Challenge (creative title, right?), the Gauntlet and the Island. Dating shows were only interesting when New York was crazy on Flavor of Love and A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila.

I learned to read when I was 3. And I still remember when my dad used to read the Harry Potter books to my sister and I chapter at a time as a bedtime story. Good times.

When I like someone, I never tell them. I've learned that it never works out. They almost always never talk to you ever again, or if they do, they're really weird about it.

I love speaking spanish! I'm not fluent, but there's something about being able to roll my r's and pronounce things correctly that makes me proud.
