Here comes another one...

25 things unimportant about me - write your info. then pass it on to 25 of your friends

1. I have a crazy memory. I can remember random events, quotes, and people's names. I can't remember faces though, and I often forget what people look like if I haven't seen them in awhile!

2. I get emotionally invested into movies, TV shows, songs, etc. very easily. I think that is why it hard for me to watch very violent movies...

3. I absolutely do not like it when people dye their hair red. It also really bothers me when people ask if I dye my hair....You weren't born with it for a reason....

4. I like ugly things, shoes, purses, socks, and jewelry-because I know no one else will have it.

5. There are a lot of noises that drive me CRAZY! Chewing, chomping gum, nail clippers, Styrofoam, whistling, silverware on plates...I think I have hypersensitive hearing.

6. I like watching college sports-I am even starting to get mad when my team doesn't win....

7. I like expensive jeans. I believe they are worth the money. I cannot wear any other jeans (ie Gap, Old Navy, American Eagle) because I can tell they are not as good of quality and they don't fit as well.

8. I am not good at small talk. It makes me nervous and I am always thinking about what to say next and hoping the person can't see through how really uninterested I am...

9. I feel horribly guilty about a lot of social justice issues, even though I don't have much control over it. For example I will not shop at Wal-Mart because of sweatshop labor, and I still feel guilty about ever shopping there. Same with clothing stores, when I find out I shop at stores where there are bad working conditions my stomach drops....it makes me feel bad both emotionally and physically...

10. I am horrible at foreshadowing and predicting endings of things...I did NOT see that coming!

11. Ever since I moved to Columbus I have gotten horrible road rage-I cannot stand that someone else's slow/horrible driving is wasting my time!

12. I used to practice red carpet interviews, Oscar acceptance speeches and other things famous people do when I was little. I still like to strike a red carpet pose every once and awhile!

13. I really don't like the Dave Matthew's Band-I think they may be a little overrated...

14. Most Christmas songs annoy me. Especially Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time. I get annoyed when I hear Christmas music before Thanksgiving.

15. I still make wishes on falling stars and when the time is 11:11

16. I usually won't let big SUVs or cars with W04 stickers cut in front of me in traffic! (Sorry!)
17. I love True Crime stories! Dateline, 48 hours and Anne Rule books will always win me over!
18. I like looking over at other people in their cars at red lights and seeing what they are up to!

19. I still want to go to Africa someday and promote AIDS awareness.

20. I always wanted to have a makeover-like on what not to wear and am curious what they would do to me!

21. I have a hard time figuring out what my body shape and face shape are....Also I don't know if I am 5'8 or 5'9...

22. Sometimes I feel unexciting and inexperienced because I haven't left the United States, I crossed the border into Mexico once-but I really don't count it.

23. I don't like jazz music all that much...

24. I hold myself to what I consider pretty high standards and often hold others to these standards. I guess you could say I am judgmental or critical. I am aware of this fault and continue to work on it daily.

25. One of my biggest fears is being completely alone or lost and no one can find and not being able to get myself out of the situation...Or being another person that just disappears and not having anyone know what happened...

Amanda, you are definitely 5'9", unless you were wearing really tall shoes during Christmas.
