Cheerleader of the Week: Lindsay

My friends would be surprised to know that I:

I’ve actually never lit a match in my life. I’m scared of fire! Whenever I light a candle, I have to use one of those lighter sticks so that the flame is nowhere near my fingertips.

I know this is a little odd, but I love following Shaq on Instagram. His posts are so silly, and most of the time I can’t tell if he’s joking or if he’s really that goofy!

My celebrity crush is:

I’ve always had a crush on Zac Efron ever since he was on the TV show Summerland in the early 2000’s. Something about him is so dreamy! Not to mention his rock solid body…

My favorite Phone Apps are:

My favorite phone app is Snapchat, even though it’s such a time suck! I just love that you can see live snippets of your friends throughout the day, and a lot of celebrities have Snapchat accounts so you start to feel like you’re friends with them, too.

If you looked at the "most played" songs on my phone or streaming music account, you'd see a lot of:

Dustin Lynch, Brett Eldredge, Jason Aldean, and Florida Georgia Line, just to name a few. Pretty much any new country music gets played over and over on my phone.

If I had to watch one movie or TV Show over and over and over again, it would be:

The TV show Friends. It still cracks me up no matter how many times I’ve seen the episodes!

My worst habit is:

Cracking all the joints in my body. My fingers, toes, back, knees—you name it, I probably crack it. I know it grosses people out but I can’t help myself!

The talent I'd most like to have that I don't currently possess is:

I would love to know how to cook—and be talented at it! I’m talking Martha Stewart status, top notch cooking. (Dear Future Husband, if you’re reading this, I promise I can learn!)

Top 3 items on my bucket list are:

I hope to one day visit Australia, learn how to surf, and I really want to help solve one of those 20-year-long unsolved mysteries you hear about on TV. I’ve got mad investigative skills!

The most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to me during a game is:

I was the victim of a wardrobe malfunction at a game one time and my top came undone during a performance! Luckily, I caught my straps right away and finished the dance routine with one arm doing the dance moves and the other arm holding up my top. I was pretty mortified, but I learned my lesson and I’ve double-knotted and safety pinned all my costumes since then!

My one guilty pleasure is:

My guilty pleasure for a long time was Oreo Cakesters, until I recently learned they discontinued them! So my new guilty pleasure would have to be chocolate chip cookies.

I'd want my last meal to be:

I would definitely want to eat a carb-loaded pasta meal. Something like spaghetti and meatballs, tons of cheese, garlic bread, and cookies and ice cream for dessert.

Describe the worst date you've ever been on:

I once went on a first date with a guy who only talked about himself the entire time. I would open my mouth to say something, and he would cut me off and start talking about something else. I left the date wondering if I actually got one full sentence in the whole time. Needless to say that’s the last time I talked (or didn’t talk) to him!
