2. I have a sewing machine, but I'm not quite sure how to use it.
3. I try really hard to be healthy- I drink about 9 glasses of water a day.
4. ...and then about 12 tablespoons of salt.
5. I'm pretty much obsessed with bold colors. Pink + purple + orange = <3
6. My bedroom is decorated in purple and orange. Go tigers!
7. I have a collection of plush llamas. 
8. At some point in my life, I would like to own a llama.

10. I eat lemons as if they were apples. 
11. Ranch dressing goes with everything. I consider it an entree. 
12. I've been trying to lose the same 30 pounds for a few years now, but I'm determined that they will finally come off this year.

22. I absolutely love cooking. I can really only make pasta, but I’m always up for new ideas!

26. My favorite sound in the world is the sound it makes when you empty the recycling bin on Windows. I always turn my volume up really high.

84. I love pictures.
85. I can't wait to be a nurse. I don't care how much poop I have to clean.

87. Every item in my room is always in the same spot. Wherever I put it when I move in is where it permanently belongs. It drives me nuts if I can't find something.

91. I hate when guys text me instead of call me. I think cell phones and facebook have completely ruined the institution of dating. 
92. Hearing a guy call me "Ma'am" is the equivalent of him singing a Clay Walker song on a bed full of rose petals. It's sexy.

94. I talk about my funeral a lot, but I promise I'm not morbid. 
95. I love watching sappy movies that make me cry. 
96. I can't stand watching tv in the dark. I can't stand being in the dark period. 
97. I don't like small talk. I tend to make conversations awkward because I try to step outside the normal realm of "so, how are your classes going?"
