100 Things About Me

A few other bloggers have inspired me to write this. Basically a list of things that you could know but didn't (or did) pick up or just don't know. I'll use numbers. I think it would be cool if you guys could point out specific ones that either are completely true or false of you. There won't be any particular order. Now let's see how far I get.

1. My real name isn't a secret if you read my blogs.
2. I would have loved to take diving lessons when I was younger.
3. I passed all of my swimming lessons until level 9 when I quit.
4. One year I took swimming lessons with a good friend of mine named Katie, who I didn't know at the time.
5. Last year, every Friday after school girls would go to Katie's house to talk and pray. It was called VENT (Valuing Each others Needs Together). I really missed it this year when she left to go to school in New Brunswick.
6. I have no idea what I'm going to do with my life after high school.
7. I also don't know exactly how tall I am. Maybe 5'2 or 3". I'm a shortie and I think it's cute.
8. I have been told that my memory is like a steel trap. I try to remember everything that happens in my life and I remember the first time I realized I couldn't remember everything. I was shocked. (still pretty young at that time)
9. I wish I were closer to more people.
10. I love Jesus! I want to love and know him more. I think he is beautiful in every way. And God is doing good things in me and I'm pretty he's using me too.
11. Purple is and always has been my all-time favourite colour.
12. Today I slept for most of the day, which isn't usual. I hope I can get some sleep tonight.
13. I really am quite the night owl but I wish I weren't.
14. I went to Malawi, Africa this past summer on a missions trip. You can read more about that in my previous posts if you haven't already.
15. I was hurt emotionally in Africa but things have changed since then.
16. In the plane, I was completely fascinated and captivated by the sky, and by God's beauty. When I got a window seat I took so many pictures I made a whole album on Facebook of my shots.
17. My favourite smell in all the world is the smell of Africa. If the possibility of going back were at hand right now, it would be a really nice bonus if not a big pull factor.
18. I love art and wouldn't be myself without it. I try to be good at graffiti.
19. I need a new purity ring.
20. The song Dive by Steven Curtis Chapman is my all-time favourite song.
21. My least favourite type of music is country.
22. I pick my nose sometimes. What are you gonna do?
23. I live in Canada and wouldn't doubt that I have a Canadian accent. I'm more southern then Sam and Casey.
24. I can't vote for American Idol, which is one of my favourite shows. If you live in the U.S., I've said this before but please vote for Archuleta, for me. If he doesn't win I'm blaming you guys.
25. I wasn't born in Canada but in Belgium because my parents were missionaries.
26. My parents are still together and I'm really thankful for that. I would probably die if that changed, but not literally because God would help me through it. I would NEVER want that to happen, ever.
27. My favourite chapter in the Bible is Matthew 6.
28. I haven't read the whole Bible yet but I'm working on it. I'll be done by the end of August.
29. Beth Moore is one of my favourite speakers.
30. I'm realizing this takes a lot of time to write.
31. From senior kindergarten to gr8 I was in French immersion.
32. I quit afterwards because I didn't have any good friends at that school and now I'm slowly forgetting the language.
33. I wish I had a Macbook.
34. I have a thing for looking at people's fingers and toes and the shape of their nails.
35. I did an art-a-thon earlier this year, and did art for 24 hours. I didn't enjoy it that much because of my partner.
36. The highlights of it were that I told my friend Natalie that she has really nice toes and that I loved them. That's kinda been a joke since then.
37. The other highlight was delivering cookies in the middle of the night.
38. I didn't take a shower today and I feel gross.
39. I always tap on things when I listen to music and one time I was drumming on my lamp and the glass broke. Now it's taped together and no one really knows that that happened.
40. I am a virgin and intend to keep it that way until my wedding night.
41. I love hearing testimonies, I retell tell all my favourite ones over time.
42. I've seen a video of an ex-porn star's testimony but it's too detailed to retell. Her name is Shelly Lubben, look her up.
43. Math is one of my favourite subjects and I'm taking all three next year.
44. Biology fascinates me and I wish I had taken chemistry this year.

62. I have a problem with procrastination.
63. My blogspot is a secret that I'm glad you all know about.

65. If I could change one thing about my appearance for a period of time without getting any flack for it I would love to shave my head.

92. I remember the shows like Bobby's World, Ned the Newt, Woody the Woodpecker and Rupert.
