sixteen things

one of my friends on facebook did this, and thought it would be fun...so here are sixteen random things you probably never knew about me...

1. my favorite song of all time, hands down, is "drops of jupiter" by train...my favorite part is the refrain:
can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
your best friend always sticking up for you
even when i know you're wrong
can you imagine no first dance,
freeze-dried romance
five hour phone conversation
the best soy latte that you ever had
and me?

2. i'm one of the most frugal people you'll ever meet--and not in a good way! i tend to be a hoarder, but God is teaching me more about using my money and letting myself enjoy what i've earned...

3. i'm an honest-to-goodness neat freak.

4. i love, love, love christmas music. and the lights. and the season in general.

5. i'm a good gift-giver. at least, for people i know well.

6. when i get sad, i listen to mmmbop. when i'm mad, i listen to linkin park. when i'm having a dreary and dreadful day, i listen to mat kearney.

7. i'm a little bit in love with very big cities.

8. i'd rather take public transportation than drive.

9. i love how vinegar smells.

10. i usually wear my harvard tee-shirt for my hardest exam of the semester. just seems like good luck.

11. i have a hard time trusting people most days.

12. i really like to read...almost anything.

13. i'm finding as i get older and like more guys...that all the guys i like are the same in a lot of weird and disturbing ways.

14. i like to be able to find words to express how i feel, and i usually have to do this through writing.

15. i have a secret obsession with grands cinnabon cinnamon rolls.

16. my favorite thing to find on the TV? a toss-up between boy meets world reruns, that 70s show, gilmore girls, stormchaser/storm shows, or some interesting documentary on TLC.
