10 Honest Things About Myself

Tiffany tagged me so I guess I should do it.

1. When I was little I didn't really have imaginary friends. What I did have were real friends that I would pretend would be around when I was by myself and had no one around to play with. I still have a tendency to still do this, only not in the sad, pathetic, I have no one to talk to. But I will play conversations in my head with people I know, and what they would say and how I would respond. Ok, I guess it is sad. Sometimes I do that with people I don't know and would like to know. One conversation I play in my head when I'm bored is the conversation between me and Robert Pattinson. Let me tell ya, he is crazy about me :)

2. I used to be, and still am scared to miss the rapture. When I was little and I would come home and no one would be there, I would always have this thought in my head that the rapture came and I missed it. Every once in a while when no one is around and I think they should be, I get this anxious feeling in my stomache thinking "what if the rapture happened?"

3. I hate most roller coasters. My first roller coaster was in 8th grade at six flags in st. louis. The old Screaming Evil, I mean Screaming Eagle (I renamed it after I rode it). I was nervous because it was my first one. Ashley convinced me to go. Told me it wasn't scary at all. Got to the top of the first drop and she turns to me and says "Amanda, I'm kind of scared right now." The rest of the ride I was practically leaning over the bar to face the ground that I really did think throughout the ride was the place where I would die from falling out of the ride. It is hard to enjoy a ride when you think you are going to die. However, several years later I gave the Batman a go, and although I was really nervous and scared, it wasn't so bad. Maybe it is because I had a full harness around me, and I learned to shut my eyes and relax. I also like the Ninja (minus the whole whiplash thing). I like roller coasters that go upside down, but I hate roller coasters with huge drops. I much prefer carnival type rides.

4. I used to chew on my fingers, even through high school. No I never sucked on my finger, just chewed on it. I don't know why I ever did it. I used to sit at the computer at home and be playing games and then realize I am chewing on my finger. Most of the time I was unaware that I did it until someone would point it out. Luckily I have broken this habit. Instead I chew on my own tongue which is weird. I am not a big gum chewer, so its crazy to think that when I'm thinking about something, concentrating, or even just bored, my tongue is in the side of my mouth being chewed on...

5. I thought boys were disgusting until college. I think the main reason I didn't date in high school was because the thought of kissing a guy grossed me out. Luckily I don't think guys are gross anymore (amazingly they don't have cooties), but I still have yet to find the lucky guy to give my first kiss too. Yes I'm 23 and have yet to have my first kiss. At the rate I'm going, I'll probably be 103 and telling my great great great nieces and nephews (won't have any kids of my own to give me grandkids) that I still have yet to have my first kiss so they can at least wait till marriage for sex. haha!

6. I really want to be the old lady that tells stories. I'm sure my own stories will be boring after a while (after all my life is soooo exciting as it is), so I am sure I'll start making up crazy stories for fun. I could always tell them about all the marriage proposals I received from guys like Gerard Butler, James McAvoy, Robert Pattinson, and Zac Efron. I could also tell them about all the technology I used to have growing up. Playing the old Oregon Trail on the old computers. Oh and the one who gives awesome advice like "don't count your chickens before they hatch" or "that's putting the cart before the horse." Yup, I want to be that old lady.

7. I watched the disney channel until a couple years ago.

8. I will admit I am obsessed with the Twilight Saga. Both books and movies. I have websites I check periodically to get the latest on the movie news. I just read yesterday that they are hoping to start filming the fourth movie in the fall and most likely that fourth book will be split into two movies..

9. I have this thing where I put a knot in my straw wrappers and pull on both ends to see if the knot comes undone or if it breaks outside of the knot. I was told once if it comes undone, someone is thinking about you but if the knot is still there, no one is. I do feel disappointed when the knot is still in place and it puts a smile on my face if it comes undone. I know its utterly rediculous, but I do it anyway.

10. I hate scary movies. Well mainly anything that has ghosts or demons in it. They creep me out and I usually have to sleep with the light on afterwards. I am a very jumpy person, so I also get even more jumpy after watching these types of movies. Also, if I do watch these movies (which is usually because friends coaxed me), I have to have a pillow or a blanket to pull over my head and face during the scary parts. And I hate haunted things around halloween (well anytime really) I don't care if it isn't real. I get creeped out way to easily and I hate things that jump out at me. Basically, the adrenaline rush people get when they are scared and love, I hate. I don't know why people love feeling scared, I hate it. I love comfort and safety.

New Blog

So I decided to create a new blog. I'll probably still use this one too, but the new blog will be more serious and be about my personal walk with God. I am hoping it will be an encouragement to others as well as a way to put my thoughts and beliefs into words.

You should follow it if you like: www.amandaeversole.blogspot.com

Hopefully it won't be lame...

First Blog of the New Year

I'm sitting at work and I'm about to fall asleep at my desk, so I figured I could blog within my last 30 minutes of work (or less).

Christmas came and went. I had fun on my break, but it was too short. I did stay a couple days longer than I originally was going to, but I'm very glad I did. Got to spend New Years with Kolby, Tiffany, Brad, Nicole, Audrey, and some of the people from church back home.

As far as New Years Resolutions go, I didn't really make any. I do hope to spend more time in Bible study this year (always seems to be my goal every new year). I also decided since it is very dangerous to quit texting and driving. It was an aweful habit to ever start. My main problem with it is when I'm driving that 5 hours back and forth between MO and IL. But for the safety of others and myself, no more!

My new kitten Moses has been crazy. He enjoys attention far too much. Some days he drives me crazy, other days I find him absolutely adorable. The other day I gave him another bath (3rd time since I got him) because he decided to play in his litter box. He hated it, but he deserved the bath. Maybe it will teach him not to play in that litter box. What I need to do tonight is sweep in the bathroom cuz he has made a mess with the litter all over the bathroom floor. It's disgusting.

When I got back to my apartment from Christmas break, I decided to reorganize my closet and finally declutter my room. My bookshelf is nice and organized and so is my desk.

After my roommates got back, Aimee and I went to the grocery store on Sunday to buy food since our apartment basically had none. When we got back, we had purchased a lot of stuff so I decided to clean off my shelf in the cabinet (we all have individual shelves for the food we purchase for ourselves). Threw out a lot of stuff I never eat (mainly open boxes of cookies, cereal bars, etc). Now my shelf is nice and clean and organized with new food (plus some of the other stuff that is still good like chicken noodle soup and popcorn). I had also purchased a big package of papertowels (one of those 8 roll packs). We put our napkins and papertowels up in the top shelf of that cabinet. When I went to place these papertowel rolls where they belong, I noticed my third roommate had already purchased another big pack. In order to make room for what I bought, I was going to have to grab a chair and reorganize that top shelf. As I began taking things off that shelf, a stinch just came across me. As I mention "it smells funky up here,"
I see a big bunch of fruitflies sitting in the back of the cabinet and then looked at the rotting bag of potatoes. I immediately start shouting "eww!!!! this smell!!! disgusting!!! old bag of potatoes!!!" and leap of the chair and run to the other side of the room covering up my face. My roommates laughed a lot at me. But then it came time to work together to dispose of the potatoes and clean. Basically after Kim discarded the bag, I ventured back up there and killed all the flies with lysol, and then Aimee scrubbed the mess. All I have to say is that was not my bag of potatoes because I don't eat them. And we now have a new house rule called, "take the time to put things away nicely and don't shove things in cabinets just to make them fit because you never know what might be behind it and won't see until a million fruitflies and several months later."

Well my time at work is about over. Hopefully I stay awake for the last 4 minutes. I did get interupted during this blog. Like I just got interrupted. Haha. Oh well. I should be working anyway.
