A Little About Me.....

I'm not quite sure why, but I have the urge tonight to just tell you folks a bit about myself. It may have something to do with the fact that some very lovely rumors have started spreading about me in my hometown, but I can't be sure, because I've had this idea for a while now.... So here we go! (And these go in no particular order...)

1. Strong willed Christian. I still have a long journey ahead, but I have God the whole way!
2. I'm a country girl, through and through. I'm surviving pretty well in the city, but my heart will always lay with the mountains and rivers!
3. I have a very hot temper, and I'm pretty pig headed at times about protecting my views. But I DO know when to back down, and I DO know when I'm wrong. I'm not afraid to admit it.
4. I'm a very sensitive person. My feelings get hurt very easily. But, I don't like to show it. If you can SEE something is wrong with me, then something is REALLY wrong.
5. I tend to take things very seriously, and it drives me nuts when others don't...
6. I like to do a lot of different things, and because of that, I'm not exceptionally great at anything... I severely want to find something to be passionate about doing, and I want to make a difference with it.
7. I'm really analytical, therefore I find it impossible to make estimate guesses about ANYTHING, because in my mind, there are just too many variables.
8. I don't particularly like change, unless it comes slowly and I am able to plan it out.
9. I don't like there to be surprises where there shouldn't be... Like at work, it's hard for me to enjoy my day, because I don't know what to expect. I like having a set routine, to know what to expect, and be able to make plans.
10. I'm a list writer. I write lists for EVERYTHING. It helps me feel more in control.
11. When I'm trying something new, I generally get it after the first few tries, but I'm often scared that I'm going to forget or I'm going to come across something I don't know the answer to, so I'll tell whoever is teaching me that I still don't get it, even if I know darn well I can do it.
12. For me, trust in another person is generally instantly there to varying degrees, but it's VERY easy for me to lose that trust...
13. I tend to harshly judge myself according to what I believe other's are thinking about me.
14. I like to have my 'alone time', but I don't like not having the option to be with other people. I don't think I would ever be able to live by myself because of that...
15. I'm in love with Mini Coopers.
16. I dream to travel the world, especially to Italy, Ireland, and Germany.
17. I HATE spiders.... Absolutely cannot stand them!
18. I love eating anything that is minty. Mint ice cream, mint chocolate, mint cake, mint whatever!
19. I'm almost grossly fascinated with crime. I love crime shows and researching true crime. If the medical field doesn't work out for me, I want to go to school to be a Crime Scene Investigator or work in a police lab, or who knows, maybe even go into the FBI...
20. I love to help people. I always want to be in a career where the main goal is to serve others.
21. I feel very mature for my age. Which seems a bit odd to me. There was never any experience in my childhood that MADE me grow up faster than I should have, but at the same time, I feel as though I did....
22. When I get married, I want to live on a ranch. I want to have horses and cows and dogs, maybe even a few cats! I want my kids to experience the side of country living that I didn't get to have when I was a child.
23. I've never gone hunting. I really really want to though!! I think big game hunting would be lots of fun!
24. I want to make a difference in the world; to really make a name for myself. My biggest fear is of living the one life I have, and then being forgotten once I'm past. I want to do something that makes my family proud, that will make my kids proud, and most of all, God proud.
25. I'm not afraid of pain, or of dying for that matter. I know where I'm going when I die, and it's a far better place than here! And I know that any pain I endure, is only temporary, and that whatever pain I do go through, God has a reason for. So bring it on!!
26. Kind of morbid, but I've always had a feeling that I would get cancer, or die in some unconventional way, or at a really young age... Weird, I know, but again, I'm not afraid of whatever is going to happen!
27. I hate disappointing people or having people upset with me. It bugs me when people don't like me. I'm definitely a people-pleaser, but I don't go out of my way to get other's approval. If they don't like me for who I am, then I guess we'll both just have to live with it!
28. I'm a definitely my daddy's daughter; No one messes with my family or friends, or they will find out just how much of a temper runs in my blood. I protect my own.
29. I'm pro life. I do not believe there is ever a circumstance where it is okay to kill a living baby, just because it isn't born yet. I even almost failed my english class (my best subject) my sophomore year because I refused to write the pro-choice debate my teacher assigned me.
30. I cannot stand it when people write like they are idiots. There is a reason we all go to school and take spelling classes and writing classes! USE THE KNOWLEDGE THAT'S GIVEN TO YOU!
31. I blog because it makes me feel accountable for what I say. Like, once it's out on the internet, where everyone can see, I can't take it back. I can't go back on what I said. Knowing that all of you read this, it helps me to keep myself in line.

So, that's by no means everything to know about me, but it's a start... Maybe in a few months or years, I'll write another one. :)

Loving thoughts,
Girl With No Name
