A lot of times when I put pen to paper, or in this case, cuddle up in bed with my computer, I always seem to discuss things I have learned, struggles I face, or give some sort of insight, but this is going to be a little different. Yes, you will get some insider knowledge on me (whatever that's worth), but nothing too personal this time.
I think it's important to know the struggles, the decisions, and the lessons that shape you into who you are. However, it is also good to know about the "little things" that make up a person; the likes, dislikes, quirks, and interests (by now you know how I feel about the little things). These are the things that make people happy, mad, or even sad. The things that they are obsessed with and cannot live without, and the weird things they do when they are around their closest friends. Lots of people claim that they know me really well, but I beg to differ. Not many people know all little things that make me, me. So, here it is, the insider knowledge about me that will leave you no smarter than before, but maybe you will know a little more about me than you did.
"You can read a lot about a person by their features and what they do with them. But, getting to know someone, who they really are, takes time."
After I eat, I gain all kinds of energy. I want to just dance around, talk ninety miles an hour, and go get dessert.
I have the biggest obsession with "One Tree Hill". I have seen the series so many times I can quote it to you, I can even recognize any song and tell you the scene it was playing in (I know, it's sad really).
I absolutely love roller coasters but I am still terrified of heights. Go figure. Fear is not a factor for me (usually).
I really hate fish..like the smell itself makes me want to vomit.
I love being around people, but I also need my alone time.
Over the past couple of years, I have developed some sort of OCD. Everything has to be in its place or I will not stop thinking about it. Dirty dishes have to be put up, the book has to go back where it belongs, and my clothes have to be back where I got them from.
If anyone moves anything in my closet, I will notice. When my sister would take something out, I would know, even if she put it back before I got home.
When I go over a speed bump or hit a pot hole and my car hits it too, I seriously get sick to my stomach.
I overthink everything. I mean everything.
When I find a song I like, I will listen to it on replay until I get sick of it.
Speaking of music, I cannot listen to a full song. I get bored and find another song I want to listen to. It's a real problem.
I get so much satisfaction from getting the wrinkles out of clothes with a steamer.
Oh, and my sheets cannot have wrinkles either. That is not comfortable (or cute).
Surprises, for the most part are my favorite. I mean who wouldn't love a surprise visit, or cookies, or anything that someone plans for you without you knowing.
My friends make fun of me for loving the little things, but truly it is all the little things in life that mean so much to me. A compliment, encouragement, or something as simple as someone telling me to have a good day, means so much to me.
I always feel bad for the person who loses in any game or competition. I just can't help it.
If it is raining and you aren't using your windshield wipers, I will kindly fix that problem for you. Otherwise, how are you going to see well enough to drive?
I have blacked out twice, both times were on a Christmas morning while in the shower. Only explanation is that I hadn't eaten yet..or was just too excited. If I don't eat, I am either grumpy, tired, or black out.
Writing is an obsession of mine, so I have quite a few journals (not diaries).
I am always either saying, "I'm cold" or "I have to pee", speaking of, one second.
Some would call me a hoarder, I just say sentimental because I have anything and everything a boy has ever given me. I have quite the collection of cards, pictures, and a huge purple ring.
I am always laughing, whether that be at my own jokes or those hilarious puns (gosh I love those). I have a different laugh every time it seems.
Quoting movies (usually with my best friend) has become a habit for me. Easy A is our favorite, "amen".
I don't just celebrate my birthday, I celebrate my birth month.
I have a tendency to cry at every sad movie, wedding, and funeral (whether I knew them or not).
Hallmark movies and cards are kind of my favorite thing ever. My mom and I are convinced that we will work for them one day.
I have all kinds of weird dance moves while in the car. You are lucky if you have seen them.
Sarcasm is my second language, right after sass. You will always get one of the two.
I have recently developed a fear of hugs. They give me such bad anxiety and make me so uncomfortable.
Oddly enough, sometimes when I give a hug, it turns into a headlock. If you're lucky enough to get a hug, my lips are always pursed. I don't know why, it just happens.
Gum- I hate it. All kinds of gum. I hate the smell, the texture, and when I hear someone smack it.
I may hate gum, but I do love mints. I have them in my car and purse for whenever I need them.
Meeting a boy for the first time is always weird. Like am I supposed to shake his hand? Because I am not giving him a hug.
My favorite part of the day are the small details.When someone you don't know opens the door for you or when you make friends in your class. Ugh, back to the little things, sorry.
In really bad or awkward situations when I don't know what to do, I always seem to just laugh. This has gotten me in trouble a couple of times.
I am convinced this emoji is in honor of me.
"Like and enjoy yourself-quirks, goodness, and all."
Now that you know a few small, insignificant things about me, it's time to look at those around you. We all have those odd habits and weird tendencies. Take time today to notice what makes each person special, and cherish that. At the end of the day, these are the things we are going to remember.
P.S. I really love chocolate and Taylor Swift too.
