1. I am a Christian. I simply cannot get through a single day, hour, minute, or second without God. It's in my DNA. I have a hard time carrying on a conversation without mentioning something related to Him or His Word.
2. I am NOT a girly girl, but I seem to be surrounded by them. Most of my friends enjoy all things pink and pretty...and while that is great and necessary, I just don't get it. I like things that are logical and functional. Practical. I've been known to wrap gifts in Wal-Mart bags. When wearing high heels, my gait is similar to that of a 2-legged gazelle with a lisp. I enjoy sports, cars, and lifting heavy boxes.
3. I love kids. My Bachelors degree is in Child and Family Studies. My current job is a nanny to a beautiful baby girl. I have a huge family with lots of little cousins who I adore. I'm certain that I can carry on a better conversation with a child than an adult on any given day. I think it's one of the talents that God gave me. Here are some of my sweet cousins.
4. I don't know what I want to do with life. This is a bit of a recent development. I think I want to go to graduate school and get my Masters in Counseling. I want to help people. I've figured that out. But I've also considered being a missionary, secretary, nanny, or flight attendant, or working in a TV station. Basically, I want to do something that makes me happy and close to God. I realized that I DON'T like doing the same thing everyday. I want somewhat of a flexible, differing schedule. Stay tuned as I figure that out.5. I'm a nerd. I like sci-fi and British shows. I like learning and reading. I enjoy working on computers. I enjoy being in class and taking notes. And The Big Bang Theory.
6. I like the arts. Theater: RENT, Phantom, Beauty and the Beast, Wicked, and plays in general. There are so many that I want to see but haven't had the chance. Art: Degas, Seurat, Monet, Warhol. Music, especially classical and choral. Photography. Dance. Poetry ESPECIALLY. Basically, any sort of expressed emotion. It's nice.
7. I can have a few obsessive tendencies, especially with organization. Things must be where they are supposed to be. Granted, sometimes I get busy and my house gets a little messy, but it drives me insane. I also have a weird obsession with change (or avoiding change). And I'm honest...blunt...*ahem* candid a lot. Sometimes I speak before I think. I suffer from word vomit. What can I say? We all have our issues. I'm working on it.
8. I love animals. I used to be terrified of dogs, but that mysteriously went away. I have a cat. He's feral. He attacks things and does not like to be petted. I also have the smartest dog on the planet. She's a little bit of a brat but I love her and can't bear to think of her passing. I've also owned hermit crabs. Someday I want to have a pet tarantula.
9. I have an affinity for the mind. Reading people. Instincts. Dreams. Environments. Emotions. Social protocol. I LOVE psychology. I love to figure out why people are the way they are. A lot of times I would rather observe people than converse with them.
10. I also love buttercups, strawberries, reading, tea, Scotland, The Office, ballet (I took dance for 10 years), singing, traveling, being with friends, laughing, the color gray.
In a nut shell, I'm eclectic. But then again, isn't everyone?

Enjoyed this. A lot of this I already knew about you, but I learned a few things, too. =)
And as for #10, I could have written that exactly...except for the ballet part. But everything else is spot on!
What did you learn? I thought you knew all of that...
