I’m pretty sure I was tagged to do the 25 random things but I’ve already done 10 random things from before, so does that mean I should only do 15 new ones or should I just scrap it all and start with 25 new things…these are the questions that plague the minds of men…wo-men.

1.  In the past six months I have (briefly and superficially) learned to knit, make felted animals/vegetables, made hand stamped thingies, and started a stained glass project.

2.  I have a ginormous collection of Marvin the Martian things.

3.  Since I’ve gotten married, I feel really guilty when I’ve had too much to drink.

4.  My husband has a soothing voice, so sometimes I ask him to read to me at night so I can fall asleep.

5.  When I’m running there are two songs that keep me going even when I’m dead tired, one is by Hillsong and the other is by Kanye West.

6.  I really like meetings and love to be invited to them.

7.  I like things to be even so if I knock my left hand on the side of the table, I’ll try to knock my right hand somewhere.

8.  If I didn’t have to shower, I wouldn’t.  I hate how long it takes.

9.  Before I turned 20, I went out with a doctor, my professor (Geography TA really), and a go-go dancer/stripper.

10.   My last names have been, Gonzlaez, Hirschy, Hirschy y Salazar, and now Forrest y Salazar.

11.  If I were a color, I’d be magenta-y, mulberry, pink-ish.

12.  Every time I refer to my grandmother, I say, “My DEAD grandma,”  i.e., my DEAD grandma made that couch, or my DEAD grandma liked Pepsi.

13.  Zach and I make up new words to songs. Sung to the tune of Katy Perry’s I Kissed A Girl:

  Why don’t you the laundry -y, 

I have no jeans to we-a-ar,

It’s so your turn you lazy-y,

I’ll fold if you will wash and dry.

14.  Nothing makes me feel more lucky than when I see my mom and sister interact with Zach and I can see how much they love him and how well he gets along with them.

15.  I keep all of my shoes in clear rubbermaid-esque boxes and it makes me happy.  Many of you have moved them, multiple, multiple times.

16.  When I was a kid I wished I had freckles, I still think they are cute.

18.  In highschool I honestly thought  I was missing a part of my brain or was lacking some chemical that helped you remember, because I couldn’t remember anything and was always getting trouble for it.  I still kind of wonder about that.

19.  I like to argue, just for argument’s sake.  Not angry argument, but devil’s advocate for the fun of the debate.  I frequently do this without thinking.

20.  I’m sometimes unclear where the line is between observation and judgment.

21.  My husband is more compassionate than I am, but I’m ok with that.

 22.  There have been multiple times when guys have picked me up (literally) and set me on top of tall things I couldn’t get down from.  I think this is a hazard of being small and partying.

23.  I love letters (let’s  not forget ampersands) and it’s no coincidence that the person I married has a cool letter for his first name.  Zs have a nice flourish in many different fonts.

24.  I’m perplexed by people that hug all the time.  I’m unconvinced that the hug should be used as a hello or goodbye.

25.  People who are happy and smiley all the time and who try overtly to be  my friend make me wary and uncomfortable.  Not to mention irritated and skeptical of their motives and seriously doubt our ability to ever really get along.

25.   At heart, I’ll always be a city girl but if you promise not to tell anyone else….I’m kind of digging this small town thing where I see people I know on the weekend at Costco.
