Twenty random questions to get to know me better.

It has always been my dream to have a library, either that or maybe have a room with a swimming pool so I could swim year round in the comfort of my own home.
3.What grown-up job did you want to have when you were a child?
When I was younger, I was obsessed with swimming and being in the water and my favorite animal was a dolphin so the job I wanted to have was to be a dolphin trainer at Sea World. I think the movie Free Willy might have had something to do with it was well.

Not so much a TV show as a TV station. I am obsessed with Syfy I love Haven, Merlin, and Being Human.

run into my friend named Mike
Mike no longer has a bike, he cries
I don't want no nickle

My dad changed the words some, but the original is basically the same. Actually until today, I thought he made the song up.
6. What part of pop culture do you wish would just go away?
I find it so annoying how obsessed with celebrities people are. I hate hearing about them all the time. I don't care what Leonardo DiCaprio had for lunch or who Justin Bieber is dating. They are not that interesting.

At the time of writing this post, they are turquoise, but seeing as I change them daily that is subject to change.

I want two or three kids with at least one of them being adopted.

War Heads. In the summer my friends and I would ride our bikes to the video store and rent movies and buy War Heads. We would have contests to see who could eat the most at a time.

James Dean

Haleakala National Park in Hawai'i on Maui. My family and I went there on vacation in February. The park is beautiful... well the whole island is amazing. I'm still trying to figure out how I could find a way to live on Maui
13. How many pairs of shoes do you own? How many is too many?
I own roughly 15 pairs. It is just an estimation because I don't want to get up and go count. I don't think there is such a thing as too many shoes.

It is a shirt that I got at The Chainsaw Sister Saloon in Ely Minnesota when I was 12. I still have it and I wear it all the time.
