25 things

i've read many people's 25 things they have posted on facebook, but i don't care to be that forthright, so i will put it here.  good enough, eh?

1. i am a gemini.  both in birthday and spirit.

2. since i was little i have loved making people laugh.  nothing makes me feel more euphoria than hearing the laughter of my friends and family

3. my first memory is listening to the Beatles.

4. my first concert was the Rolling Stones.  And i knew all the songs.

5.  i'm not sure i have a favorite food.  my tastes have changed so much in my lifetime.

6. i hated college.

7. sometimes i think back on my elementary school memories of playing and school and feel i dreamt it.  

8. i have been dancing since i was 2.  since then i have been in dance every generation of life (2 pre K - lessons, elementary - classes, middle and high school - dance team/show choir, college - irish dance)...except now.  and that makes me sad.

9. i still love the movie "That Thing You Do!"

10. i can't sleep with my feet hanging out of the sheets.  i swear someone/thing will get them.

11. Conan O'Brien was my first crush ever when i was 9 years old.  i still love him.

12. Dave Grohl was my first erotic dream when i was 11.  we made out in a food court in front of old people.

13. i sleep with a stuffed lion.  he travels everywhere with me.  yeah, i'm a little kid.

14. U2 and the Beatles are tied for my favorite band of all time.  U2 helped me through such difficulties as middle and high school, and The Beatles gave me my love and passion for music.

15. i have been playing bass guitar for almost 10 years.  it still gives me a rush playing a new song.

16.  i am attempting the guitar.  it's fun, but i still am a bass player.

17. my parents rock.  they don't try to be cool or hip, but they are the greatest people i know.

18. i don't hang out with my friends often enough.  i love being at home by myself, which conflicts with friend time.

19. i have recently given up caffeine as i feel i no longer need it.  thanks MonaVie!!

20. i am a runner.  i've been running as exercise and for fun since i was 12.  but i am slow as shit.

21.  music and physical movement (running, dancing, cooking, laughing) are the only things that make my soul happy.  well, things beyond other people.

22.  i think my heavy laugh sounds like Julia Roberts laugh, and i can't decide if that is good or bad.

23. i love Texas country and bluegrass, even if i make fun of other country music.  

24.  i love Austin, Texas.  More than i ever thought i could.

25. this went by faster than i thought!  i surprise myself all the time!
