25 things you probably don't know about me

Inspired from last year's post.

1. I sleep with my remote control. I've had a TV in my room since I was six years old. It's a comfort to me. If I wake up from a bad dream, the first thing I do is turn on the TV.

2. I'm boy crazy. I fall in like quite often.

3. But... I don't talk to guys. Or flirt. I'm way too self-conscious.

4. I really, really, REALLY want to swim with dolphins. It's been a dream of mine for years and I can't wait to make it happen (and make sure someone takes LOTS of photos).

5. I got my belly button pierced! When I was 18, as a surprise for my then boyfriend. I took it out 7 months later and let it close. I know, I can't believe it either.

6. My hands turn purple when I'm cold.

7. I'm blunt and an open book, but I have trouble telling someone when I'm angry with them.

8. I am terrified of anything that flies. Birds, bugs, and Superman.

9. Buffets freak me out with the exception of brunch at luxury hotels.

10. I want a solitaire emerald cut engagement ring. No baguettes, side stones, or diamond band. If you happen to meet my future husband, please pass this message along.

11. I lived with a boyfriend once. We broke up halfway into the lease that we were stuck in. True story!

12. I adore pop art. It's what I grew up around.

13. Poor grammar and incorrect spelling make me shudder.

14. I had a stalker in high school. He was harmless.

15. He went to a very prestigious high school in Dallas, so I let him take me to his Homecoming.

16. I went to ten formals in high school and went through a phase where I bought a lot of gowns. Too many. I started to hide them in my Mini Cooper, but my parents know me too well and peeked in the windows.

17. I've broken my right pinky toe at least five times. It's finally starting to look normal again, but I think that's because I started wearing slippers and haven't walked into a wall corner (four toes go one way, pinky goes the other) in a while.

18. I don't really sleep. I'm constantly running on empty.

19. But, I do sleep better when my apartment is clean.

20. Much of my shoe inspiration comes from The OC (the television show, not the place). I loved that Marissa Cooper wore flats with everything - even cocktail dresses.

21. I HATE doing my makeup. It never looks right and I always feel like a clown.

22. I like to sit next to a window when I write, which is why I often write in bed. (My desk is next to the front door.)

23. I love trashy carnivals and water parks.

24. I wish I still knew how to tap dance and owned the shoes.

25. After all of the doom and gloom is said and done, I'm actually really looking forward to turning 25.

Haha, I got my belly button pierced on a dare from my friends when I was 18! My ex-boyfriend was super conservative and hated it so I took it out. Loved Marissa Cooper's shoe collection, too!

This is incredibly random but you said your hands turn purple in the cold, do you have Raynaud's? I apologize if it's rude but I have it, and I was just wondering if you did as well. I know how horribly annoying it is especially when they turn purple and cold in the middle of July on the beach!
