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.
