1. Crazy dogs - Okay, this may be calling it too soon, but you meet Lulu and THEN you tell me.
2. Mormons
3. Waiting for Godot - I hate this play. Really. It has been assigned in at least four of my English courses and my group is presenting over it in my capstone course this semester.
4. People with stalkerish tendencies
5. Calvinists
6. This is out there and I’m sure any girl that has ever been in a Yahoo chat room has experienced it as well. I used to advertise GodlyGals a bit there in the Christian chat rooms, but quit due to little interest. AND due to the fact that there were always guys wanting to know if you were single, then if you were interested in getting married, and maybe helping them with their English. In my experience they were mostly from Nigeria and India. So yeah, those guys.
7. Gastrointestinal issues - Yeah, you wanted to know that one
8. Bouquets (at weddings)
9. That person in class that is only there to annoy the professor with stupid questions. Yes, there are stupid questions and they usually apply to due dates whenever they’re listed in the syllabus that you’re holding IN YOUR HAND.
10. Snow - When I pray for snow, I get snow. All you people in Oklahoma should be glad that I don’t pray for it often.
11. At least one professor per semester that thinks you’re only taking his or her class and nothing else.
12. Ear aches - I’ve been prone to them since I was a baby.
13. Chocolate covered Edy’s Strawberry Fruit Bars - Wait. Maybe they can’t escape me.

2. When you’re smiling in your sleep / Beyond the promises we keep 3. I could have swore I saw you smile at me / Standing in the pouring rain / At loss for words and running out of time / I said this crazy thing 4. Whisper to me “is this love?” 5. Should we stalk him? / Definitely 6. Waiting for the sun to kiss the sea / Paralyzed by the fragrance of the flowers / That remind me of you and me 7. And I still want the girl that really caught my eye / But she lives in Oklahoma City / Far away from me 8. And though the miles pull us apart / We both knew it from the start / Together we can make it through / Every minute that you’re gone is a minute too long / Right here’s where you belong 9. Don’t go saying that you’re okay / When you’re lonely 10. So they were both praying for something 11. She didn’t have to say what she was feeling inside / He could see the answer shining in her eyes 12. That dizzy, dancing way you feel / As every fairy tale comes real 13.

2. I’m a little obsessive-compulsive about my bathroom being clean. 3. For some reason this strange need to have things clean does not extend as far as my kitchen. 4. I am the oldest of 23 great-grandchildren (Dad’s maternal side). 5. I have had an online journal of some sort since May 2000. 6. I’m sad that I don’t get to watch The View very much anymore. However, I no longer aspire to be on the show. I think I would get a headache. 7. I prefer rainy weather. Over everything else. 8.

I love dinner parties and cooking for people. 10. Roses are not my thing (unless they are yellow or orange-ish). I like daffodils and lilies. 11. When I saw that there was a new Starbucks going up down the street from my house, it sealed the deal. I’ll be living here a few more years at least. 12. My feet are always cold. Poor circulation I guess. 13. Heather and Aaryn probably know more about me than any other friends I have had in my entire life. And I’ve known them less time than most of my other friends.
