Random things that I love |
Of course, I gotta start off with... I have no idea how i got so attached to smiley faces. Guess I've always been big on happiness and laughter.
I absolutely love dogs. Any kind. They're all so cute, but of course, my dog Harry is the cutest. He's a Maltese. He only weighs like 5 pounds even though he's so old now..16 yrs old.. =(
My favorite food is surf and turf (lobster and filet mignon). though sushi & roast duck make me pretty happy too. And the end to the perfect meal.. Fruit tart for dessert and then a glass of..
icewine..aaahh.. cool, refreshing, sweet Inniskillin icewine. you have got to try some!!
I really need to make more money to support all these habits.
This will surprise a lot of ppl, but my favorite shot is Patron. That's some good stuff. It goes down so smoothly and it's like an energy shot for me. After i have one of those, i'm ready to dance the nite away.
One of my absolute favorite stores is HALLMARK!!! It's the best place to go to buy cards, gifts, photo albums, etc. They have everything. When i go into that store, i'm there for like an hour. I'll buy like 10-15 cards and save them up. That way when something comes up, i dont have to keep going back to the store and can just shop from my own little collection. Yes, I'm strange.
I absolutely love Swarovski crystals and Precious Moments figurines. I love those things. Though i usually just end up buying them for other people. I'm constantly buying them for my family. They love them as much as i do and it makes me so happy to see them happy! I think I like giving more than receiving anyways.
My favorite cartoon characters are Garfield and Eeyore. No particular reason, I just like them.
What else? Oh, music. I like alternative rock & hip hop. I really love Usher, Creed, Linkin Park, Lifehouse, The Calling, etc. I recently saw Nickelback in concert. He totally rocks and S and I were completely blown away by what a good concert it was. Oh.. S sorta got me into country. I'm almost ashamed to say it.
I play tennis and the piano, although it's been a long time since I've done either of those. College really made me lazy. And now I have carpal tunnel from working so much on the computer. But I do like doing active things. I go skiing every year and I've even tried snowboarding..though close to giving up on learning that. Theres only so many falls u can take b4 your butt just cant handle it anymore. But I also like canoeing, kayaking, white-water rafting..those are all lots of fun. Just gotta be ready to have really sore arm muscles..but hey, its a good work out.
I've become addicted to camping since I met S. It's the ultimate get away from life - just relaxing and enjoying nature, fresh air, S' grilling, smores, stars, etc. I dont even mind roughing it.
Movies - thrillers mostly.. I love action movies..the more blood and guns and fighting the better..heehee, yea, i know i'm wierd. not exactly the typical girl. but hey, i grew up around all guys. some of my favorite movies are The Rock, Bad Boys, ConAir, Shawshank Redemption, Boiler Room, etc.
Favorite Broadway play - Miss Saigon & Producers, though i did like Phantom of the Opera a lot cuz it was my very first Broadway show.
I LOVE roller coasters. The more loops and twists the better. But I hate the looping starship. That doesn't count as a roller coaster b/c it doesn't go fast. You just hang there upside down. You will never ever get me to go on that. To anyone out there who loves rollercoaster..Go to Six Flags Magic Mountain and ride on eXtreme. It is totally worth the wait..the biggest thrill ive ever had. I think to top that, i need to go skydiving. Anyone wanna come with me?? =)
I also love watching NBA basketball...though i admit i've sorta fallen away from it since i left houston, but i still like watching the game. i will always love the Houston Rockets. Some people used to say I was their #1 fan!!! Just ask anyone from my high school. They made a nice little comment about me during graduation.
I LOVE to travel!!! I would love to be able to hit every continent on this earth b4 i die...well, maybe not Antartica cuz thats just way too cold, but
then maybe i get to see penguins..hmm.. Anyway, ive been to alot of places already. i really like seeing dif. cultures and just how ppl live. most of the time, it makes me really appreciate living in the US. Unfortunately, S has an extreme fear of flying, but I'm determined to drag him on as many flights as possible even if it means drugging him. Hahaha.
So this is pretty cool...you can map out where you've been. My Travels
One little quirk i have is that i have to buy one of those small souvenir spoons at every place i go to. I have quite a collection now and my parents got me a nice frame with a spoon for every Olympics. That was one of my all-time favorite gifts.
Here are 2 poems that someone wrote that i really like:
