Why, Hello, there.

It's been a while, no? I just thought I'd come back and try to do this thing. Everyone has been doing a hash tag on twitter for #40thingsaboutme so here's mine :)
1) I can't watch scary things. Even comedies. Zombieland still gives me nightmares.
2) I have one of the best jobs ever, no matter how much I complain about it.
3) My family is amazing. I would do anything for any of them.
4) I used to not feel this way about my family. I used to not like them very much and was dead set on getting as far away from them as possible. Now I'm not sure I could stand to be more than an hour away.
5) Reading is my passion. I'm bad about rereading old stuff instead of finding new things though.
6) I may claim that I hate people frequently but in general I don't mind them. It's only when customers are being dumb that I get frustrated.
7) After I take a shower I use a beach towel instead of a bath towel, because they are softer.
8) I bite my nails.
9) I like to drink socially.
10) When I get angry I cuss like a sailor.
11) Retail therapy works.
12) When I read a book I literally feel like I am part of that story. I become the main character and I live through them.
13) I could read quotes for hours. My favorites right now of Eistein, Twain, and Marilyn Monroe.
14)A movie doesn't have to be great for me to like it. As long as it keeps me entertained for the length of time it is playing, I'll enjoy it.
15) I hate when people look for deeper meanings in something that obviously won't have it.
16) Yet I tend to be someone who places meanings into things that shouldn't have them.
17) I sometimes genuinely think I am a horrible person.
18) It took me too many times that it should have to spell "genuinely" Thank God for spell check.
19) In fourth grade I cheated (a lot) on spelling tests.
20) I also faked my reading log because I hated to read.
21) I read Junie B. Jones books well into middle school.
22) After reading "A Wrinkle in Time" I was hooked on Madeline L'Engle.
23) I think green in my favorite color but it could change tomorrow.
24) I used to have my life all planned out. I was going to be married at 22. 2-3 kids by 30. Steady job, fabulous husband, lots of money.
25) Now, I don't even know what I want out of life, but figuring it out sure will be fun!
26) I've used the same comforter since I was four.
27) Bugs scare the hell out of me. If I see a bug I will scream and try to get away as quickly as possible. And make sure it dies.
28) My nose is my least favorite feature.
29) Eyes are the first thing I look at.
30) Sense of humor really is one of the most important things.
31) I can cook, I just don't know a lot of recipes.
32) I actually really enjoy cooking and baking.
33) While I may seem a bit bitter at my friends getting married and starting lives together I really am happy for them. They deserve the world.
34) I'm striving to looks for a man who looks at me the way my Uncle Johnny looks at my Aunt Peggy. Or knows me as well as my Pawpaw knows my Mawmaw.
35) I'm from the South. Get over it.
36) I don't like BBQ or peaches.
37) Sweet tea is amazing though.
38) I am the biggest klutz you will ever or have ever met.
39) I can do nothing artistic. At all.
40) I like who I am and I love who I will be.
