What You May Not Know about Me.

  1. One side of my cupid's bow is higher than the other. I used the think I was applying lipstick incorrectly (consistently), but that's just the shape of my lip.
  2. One of my ears is higher than the other, so my glasses always look crooked.
  3. As a child, I liked hiding notes for other children, such as in bed and breakfast hiding spots.
  4. My favorite vegetables are broccoli, asparagus, and green beans. 
  5. I keep obsessive monthly to-do lists and must check off at least half of the (approximately 360) items before the month ends.
  6. My teeth were enormously crooked, and I didn't get braces until I was sixteen.
  7. I drink over 7.5 liters of water a day.
  8. I've never touched an iPhone.
  9. I have hundreds of pens.
  10. Many of my cute socks are so old that the elastic no longer holds them up.
  11. My first favorite song was "Uptown Girl" by Billy Joel (when I was little).
  12. My second favorite song was "Right Here Waiting" by Richard Marx.
  13. The first three times I saw The Phantom of the Opera were spaced eight years apart: age 8, age 16, and age 24.
  14. For two months of my life, I vacuumed every day I was home.
  15. I keep eyeliners in an artist's pen folio (I quickly realized that it wouldn't hold a fraction of my pens).
  16. I don't care for yellow or orange.
  17. I usually choose two colors to use in my journals, and I alternate them each day. For example, in my next journal, I'll start with a green pen and then use a purple pen the next day. Then, I'll go back to green. I used to use more colors, but it was a lot to keep up with. The colors are based on the design of the journal. The alternating colors help me find old entries more easily.
  18. Cinderella is my favorite Disney movie, but I have nothing in common with Cinderella.
  19. If two of my selves met, they would probably not become friends. But they might enjoy sitting near each other and observing each other in silence.
  20. I have a clinging preference for college-ruled paper.
  21. Though I've never really been a pencil person, I like the idea of pencils. I almost never use them.
  22. After a long life without watermelon, I discovered just this year that I like it.
  23. I have a mildly runny nose at all times. It's annoying.
  24. I do not use bullet journals or journals with perforated pages under any circumstances.
  25. I use journals with recycled paper under only the rarest circumstances. 
  26. I strike through my Z's and 7's. 
  27. I write my lowercase a's two different ways, and no pattern appears.
  28. I keep some of my makeup in a bin labeled Scarves. 
  29. I'm typing this while wearing open gloves with Jane Eyre passages printed on them.
  30. I have never lit a match.
