I have never been tagged before and then Ashley did and I felt so popular that I just had to do it. But I am not tagging anyone. Mostly because I am lazy. Or because I don't want anyone else to feel as popular as me.

11 random facts:

1. I think the longest I have ever gone without diet coke since I was a sophomore in high school is 2 months. Call me weak, I just can't kick the habit! It's a good thing I have never had alcohol or smoked. I would be the most insane addict.
2. When my bff Jenna and I were little, I went on a trip with her and her family to Big Bear. We were in line to go down some ride thingy and we decided we were going to be super cool and pretend that we were Justin Timberlake AND JC Chasez' little sisters. Our last name was Chaslake. Not only were we giant idiots talking loud about how we couldn't wait until our big, pop-star brothers came home from tour, but our last name was CHASLAKE. That doesn't make us related to either of them. It's a made up last name. It doesn't make any sense. Pretty sure I could write a novel on the stupid things Jenna and I have done.
3. I absolutely HAVE to settle somewhere warm. There is no choice. I have tolerated Utah for 6 years now and there are times when I enjoy it and have a bit of Utah pride, but it is not where I will settle. It's not a matter of not liking the cold and seasonal depression, but it's a serious ache I feel to move back to California. It will take a few years, but we will make it back.
4. I used to find famous people's "real" screen names and chat with them. I chatted with "Britney Spears" and "Justin Timberlake" for months. I never gave away any personal information or talked about sketchy things, but it's super creepy to think that it was totally just some random dude pretending to be Britney Spears. And it makes me feel pretty dumb for actually believe Britney wanted to talk with me.
5. I was a bleach-blonde for years. Over the past few years I have progressively gone darker and more naturaul. This past weekend I dyed my hair light blonde again and I am pretty sure I have decided this is the color I always need to be. I felt completely like myself again when I looked in the mirror. Yep, I am definitely a platinum blonde at heart.
6. I couldn't live without my iPhone. It's just.. yeah.. I don't even wanna talk about it.
7. I love musicals. Love them love them love them. I think life should be a musical. World peace would be a lot easier if we were all getting together to practice dance numbers.
8. I can't go longer than a week without washing my sheets. I have a terrible fear of dust mites. Have you ever seen a picture of one of those microscopic guys blown up? Here, let me terrify you. 
   
   

   

   Have fun sleeping tonight.

9. One time when I was 15, my mom told me I couldn't have a birthday party because I'd had a big one the year before. So my friend and I who have birthdays a few days apart, asked another friend to throw us a "surprise" birthday party. My mom couldn't say no to my  friend so I got an amazing birthday that year. And I was totally not surprised.  
10. I hate tomatoes. And I hate people who think I am crazy for hating tomatoes. I also hate people who hate tootsie rolls and McDonalds french fries, but that is a different story.
11. Why is it 11 facts? That's a strange number to end on. My favorite number is 2. I have a weird obsession with even numbers. I am getting married on 4/6/12. Pure OCD-even-number-obsession-bliss.

eleven questions

1. What is your worst fear?

My biggest fear would be sharks. Like.. the idea of sharks even living out there in the ocean while I am thousands of miles away in Utah, terrifies me. Very strange fear, especially because I absolutely love the beach and basically grew up there. I don't go out in the water past my knees though.

2. What was the first concert you ever went to?

My first concert was Ryan Cabrera. I crimped my hair. It was awesome.

3. What's your first kiss story?

Ohh man it is totes super romantic. Oh wait, not it's not.

My 6th grade boyfirend bragged to everyone that he was going to kiss me on the soccer field after school, so it turned into a huge event and everyone decided to come. I kid you not there was a giant circle around us and people were cheering. The best part? Some people took pictures, for whatever reason. Well when said pictures were developed (because back in those days we had to wait to see our pictures), my mom was notified by someone else's mom about my skanky behavior. And I almost didn't get to go to 6th grade science camp which, as I'm sure you can understand, would have been the end of the world.

4. Favorite Disney movie of all time?

Beauty and the Beast for classic. Finding Nemo for recent.

5. What was your favorite kids show growing up?

Saved By The Bell

6. Who was your First famous crush?

JTT all the way babyyyyy

7. What do you take the most photos of?

My niece Ava. How could you not?! I also take a lot of pictures of food. Shows where my priorities are.

8. What's the worst injury you have ever had?

Stretched all the ligaments in my right knee. On 5 different occasions. I guess I never learned my lesson. First time at a soccer game. Second time at a soccer game. Third time on the beach. Fourth time clibling a wall. Fifth time dancing to high school musical.

9. Favorite Halloween costume?

The year I was a flapper! Although Tinkerbell comes in a close second. And pretty sure when I was in elementary school, I dressed up as a witch for 6 years straight.

10. How did your parents pick your name?

I think it was some characters name on a soap opera or something. But my middle name is my great-grandma's name.

11. What's your favorite quality in your boyfriend/husband OR a quality that you want in your future husband?

Goodness gracious I could go on forever. But I will choose patience. Nathan is the most patient and selfless man I know. He handles my crazy with such grace and love. But wait I am choosing another one! He is funny. He says the randomest and dumbest things and is always making me laugh.
