Randomness

here are some weird things that you probably didn't know about me:

*when eating, i don't like to touch food with my left hand. i usually hold a napkin in it instead and just let the right hand do the dirty work.
*i know waaay too many quotes from movies, songs, and tv shows to where i could probably carry a whole conversation using them.
*i'll rewrite something like 500 times until i'm happy with the way my handwriting looks. i've taken the lives of so many post-it notes because of it.
*it bugs the bajeezers out of me when people say "you know?" after every sentence.
*it double bugs the bajeezers out of me when people don't know how to properly use "their, there, and they're" or "to and too".
*when i have a homemade sandwich, i like to put chips in between the bread and then take a crunchy bite out of it. i can only do this with nacho cheese doritos (as if that makes me less of a weirdo).
*i doubt myself a lot, especially when it comes to using big words. as much as i want to sound articulate and sophisticated, i worry that i'll use the word in the wrong way, so i avoid using it.
*i HAVE to make my bed in the morning. if i don't, i feel like the world's biggest slob.
*before i start a new book, i kinda cheat and read the very last page first.
*i won't eat certain foods because their textures freak me out (applesauce, hashbrowns, oatmeal to name a few).
*i spaz out when i see a spider, no matter what size it is. then i have to have someone kill it for me (but they're not allowed to use any of my shoes to do so).

Snow!

it was nice to get away for a few days from my daily beach living life and go to a snowy, white, winter wonderland. i went on a couple of snowboarding trips to sierra summit and got some nice scenery shots at shaver lake, then went on another 'boarding trip in tahoe, and soaked in its amazing sights of fresh powder.

Calvin & Hobbes

calvin & hobbes was, and still is, my favorite comic strip. it totally sucks that the strip isn't in print anymore, but luckily, when i was younger, i collected and read all the collectors books, so i at least have those to go back and read on. recently i've come across two c&h funnies that TOTALLY remind me of my dad's passion for bike riding, and me poking fun of him and his favorite hobby. i do it out of love, and i'm sure calvin did too. =)

Happy Anniversary, Mom & Dad!

"...the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person is still going to think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with."

(probably one of my favorite quotes from the movie, Juno).
