• My friends would be surprised to know that I: am on this website I guess! That’s probably the only thing though. I’ve been blessed with some pretty amazing friends who I can tell anything to.
• My celebrity crush: Ashton Kutcher. I love a guy that can make me laugh!
• My favorite websites/blogs:8tracks. I have playlists for when I’m studying for school, in the car by myself, getting ready for a night out with my friends or just relaxing on Sunday. I hate the quiet, so I always have to have music playing.
• My favorite app: Mapquest. I have the worst sense of direction ever so I have to rely on that thing wherever I go!
• The most played artists on my iPod: Everything! It depends on my mood but my favorites are country, acoustic, hip-hop and pop.
• If I had to watch one movie or show over and over, it would be: Friends! I don’t think I could ever get sick of that show. Who wouldn’t want Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Chandler, Ross and Joey as their best friends?
• My worst habit: Chewing gum when I run. It’s terrible but I can’t start a run without a piece of gum.
• The talent I’d most like to have: I would really love to be able to paint. I’m not the most artistic person so I’ve always wanted to create a beautiful piece of art.
• Top three items on my bucket list: Skydiving is first. I’ve wanted to do that forever! Next on my list would be to live in a foreign country. I have my heart set on Spain! And finally, I just found out that it’s possible to bungee jump from a hot air balloon, so that’s the newest item on my list. I love heights, can you tell?
• My favorite people to follow on Twitter: I don’t have one. Is that lame?
• The coolest person who follows me on Facebook: Will Shields. To me, he is a hometown hero who I’ve been lucky enough to call my neighbor. The second coolest person would have to be my brother, Kyle. He told me I needed to add him in here somewhere!
• Three people I’d like to have dinner with (living or dead): Jesus, my grandma and Will Smith. I hope one day to become just half of the amazing woman that my grandma is, and I don’t think I would ever stop laughing at a dinner with Will Smith. He seems like such a fun guy.
• My favorite professional team: Sporting Kansas City. I’ve always been a huge soccer fan and the team recently built a new stadium that’s absolutely beautiful.
• The most embarrassing thing that’s happened to me during a game: I remember one time for a halftime performance my sophomore year, somehow we started walking out on the wrong end of the field. I’m sure all the fans were laughing when they saw our whole team walking awkwardly from one end of the field to the other in complete silence. We tried to cover it up but I think that only made it more obvious that we had no idea what was going on.
• My one guilty pleasure: Painting my nails. I have way too many different colors, so choosing which one to use is always so hard. I’m sure my roommates hate me because it always smells like nail polish in our house.
• I’d want my last meal to be: My dad’s cinnamon rolls! Every year around Christmas time, my dad dedicates a full day to making these. He does it all by hand, doing everything from making the dough and letting it rise, to rolling in the cinnamon and then smothering them with frosting when they’re still nice and warm from the oven. We give most of them to our neighbors and friends but keep some for our family to have on Christmas morning. It’s my favorite meal of the year. I’d never miss it!
• My worst date: I’ve never really been on a terrible date. I think the most fun dates are the ones where something goes wrong and you just have to roll with it and laugh. Those make the best stories at least.
