because i can. and because i know you want to know.

1. i'm about three months away from being 20 years young. most of the time i feel like i'm 30 years young. most every morning i wake up feeling 10 years old.
2. my favorite colors are green and purple. three fourths of my wardrobe is green and purple. the other fourth is blue. i think blue is alright. it looks good on me. i dont like pink. but one of my favorite blouses is covered in pink roses. hmm.
3. i have a purple puzzle piece tattoo below my collar bone over my heart. the puzzle piece is the autism speaks symbol. my younger sister jessi has autism and her favorite color is purple. i wouldn't be who i am today without my darling sister. she does have a piece of my heart. i had been thinking about getting that particular tattoo for a long time before i got it last year. my next tattoo will be a large piece on my right shoulder of a sparrow holding a lily. i also have some extra piercings. single piercings in each ear, a nose piercing, and a new belly button piercing. i didnt put a whole lot of thought process into my piercings as opposed to my tattoos.
4. i am a very spiritual person. spiritual like a hippie. i am very interested in auras and zodiacs and things of that nature. and i believe mine to be true.
---my aura is purple. it relates to crown, pineal gland and nervous system. the most sensitive and wisest of colors. this is the intuitive color in the aura, and reveals psychic power attune with self. intuitive, visionary, futuristic, idealistic, artistic, magical.
---my animal spirit is the sparrow. sparrow aids in opening the eyes to self-worth and instills dignity and empowerment. teaches the importance of voice and communication. survival instincts, sharpening intuition to make proper choices. teaches assertion, survival in spite of any circumstances with a balance of joy and empowerment.
---my zodiac is sun sign leo/virgo rising. the leo/virgo pairing brings about a person who enjoys being in charge and also enjoys helping. they are proud and 'know-it-alls'. impulsive, critical, and enjoys their freedom
5. the number three is my lucky number. any multiples of three have followed me around everywhere i go. the numbers 3,6, and/or 9 have been in every one of my cell or home phone numbers. everything in my life that has happened the third time has been significant in some way (ex., third grade, third date, ect.) third time IS the charm.
6. i am obsessed with italy. i have a whole trip planned. if there is a man that wants to marry me but wont take me to italy for at least part of the honeymoon, i will not marry him. i am going to italy someday before i die. if i did have a dying wish with only one month to live, i would want that last week spent in italy with my immediate family, my best friends, and significant other, on a calm gondola ride down the grand canal. that would be a peaceful last moment.
7. there are a number things that i have not done yet in my life. like....
---i have not been on an airplane
---i have not voted
---i have not worn perscription contacts though i have been wearing glasses for the past 4 years
---i have not been out of the country
---i have not been further east of wyoming
---i have not been in the ocean. i have been on the beach and on a boat that was on the ocean, but i have never actually been swimming in the ocean
---i have never gone tanning
---i have never dyed my hair black
---i have never taken a foreign language class
---i have never straightened or curled my own hair
---i have never bought a piece of clothing or pair of shoes that was over 40 dollars
---i have never cooked a meal by myself or without a recipe
8. i have been dying my hair since i was 13. there has only been one time i dyed my hair blonde, only two times i dyed my hair brown. every other time my hair has been dyed it has been red. i was named after a red head, my great grandma maida, and she was a head strong independent woman who raised four boys and didnt take shit from anyone. i like to think i take after my great grandma but god messed up somewhere and didnt make me a natural redhead. so i pretend.
9. my first celeb crush was gene kelly. tall dark and handsome that can dance, sing, and act. who can not love a man like that?? current celeb crush? hugh jackman. i sense a pattern..
10. when i was growing up i had a stutter. i took speech therapy from the time i was in kindergarten until about the fourth grade. i had a very difficult time speaking and to this day i still have a hard time reading out loud. one reason i loved the movie the king's speech so much.. so why dont i have a bad stutter anymore? when i was 11 i took my first acting class. i was chosen to do a monologue from macbeth, the part of lady macbeth, act 5 scene 1, and that was the first time i was truly challenged to step outside my comfort zone and really speak. every since i started acting i have had much better speech. i still have problems every once in a while. i sometimes can't find the right words to say, or i say things backwards, and i do have a hard time reading out loud, but things could be so much worse. and things have gotten so much better.
11. i love stupid comedy movies. i love mind f*ck movies. i love tear jerk movies. i love eye candy movies. i hate scary movies. but i love zombie movies..
12. i'm very artistic. i wish i lived in some alternate universe where i could be extremely well off making a living off of my poetry, my modeling, my singing, and my acting. if only.

now that i've wasted my monday night, i hope you enjoyed wasting the last ten minutes of your time reading my 12 random facts about myself. thank you very much <3
