Meet The Author

I have been rolling around this idea in my head for a while now, and I think it's time for a little introduction. Some of you follow me on twitter and know me personally, some of you follow me on twitter and don't know me personally. And SOME of you found this randomly and have decided to read this because you're bored and you are holding onto an unspoken hope that maybe you'll find something decent and/or entertaining to fill a few minutes of your time. Whatever the case, this is a blog post to fill you in on 50 facts about me...

1. I am a girl.
2. The idea of Daleks, a creature that has no concept of empathy or compassion and can electrocute you from the other side of the room, terrifies me. 
3. I am a firm believer in the saying, "Almost everything tastes better with cheese on it." *I say "almost" because I don't think cheese would make dog poo taste very good, despite the fact that I love cheese more than most things, including but not limited to gerbils, guinea pigs, tortoises, and umbrellas.
4. Belly dancing is a regular part of my work-out routine.
5. I often say the phrase, "If I had a quarter for every time someone said/did *insert whatever here*, I could buy so much Chipotle."
6. I am a massive Chipotle fan.***** (this fact is tragically no longer true because of a stupid boy)
7. I am also a fan of boybands, and I don't think I should be ashamed of that.
8. I play the piano.
9. Oh yeah, I write stories and stuff.
10. When I was little, I hated pulling out my teeth. 
11. Honestly, my teeth would get so loose before I would try to pull them out. By the time I would work up enough courage to do it, it didn't even hurt and I would always wonder why I had let myself get so worked up about it, but the next time I had a loose tooth, I would freak out all over again.
12. I love River Song.
13. And Christina Grimmie.
14. And while we're doing shout outs, I love Niall Horan's sock collection.
15. I can hula hoop for over 1/2 an hour without stopping.
16. People should not follow me on Spotify.
17. They should follow me on Twitter.
18. And Instagram.
19. And even Snapchat, I don't care.
20. But Spotify is such a weird way to creep on people's musical tastes.
21. Oh, I also have a youtube channel that contains videos I am extremely proud of and videos I am glad only 5 people in the world have watched.
22. I self-published my first book in March of 2014.
23. I housesat for my co-worker over Christmas break and I renamed his cats.
24. I used to want to be a photographer.
25. I actually still do, I just don't have a camera or feel like I have the time to really pursue it.
26. My favorite noise to make is what I call my velociraptor noise.
27. I've never seen a velociraptor in real life, but in my heart, I believe that I do sound like them.
28. Because I'm a weirdo and love making things more interesting I have turned my spelling class, and cursive class into story time. I make up stories to help them remember spelling rules and how to correctly connect letters.
29. My body inspiration for my six-pack is 2013 Harry Styles. 
30. I heard Bob Carlisle sing "Butterfly Kisses" live when I was 9 years old and I cried because I was so overwhelmed by feels.
31. I was born in Minnesota.
32. The first person who made fun of my "accent" was a boy from Texas.
33. I say, "Oooftah." on a regular basis, which apparently is quite Minnesotan of me.
34. One time my best friend's boss messaged me on facebook to ask me what my perfect date was.
35. I've never been on a proper date.
36. Unless you count the one time *insert name here* took me to eat subway while we waited for clothes to finish at the laundromat before we were technically a couple.
37. Spoiler: we didn't last long.
38. One time I was asking my mom about dogs and which kinds are best for single girls to own because I was doing research for a book I was writing and she thought I actually wanted a dog. 
39. I have never owned a dog.
40. I used to own a cat.
41. His name was Pippen.
42. I love Lord Of The Rings.
43. I have been watching Sam and Kurt covers on Youtube since before I lived in America.
44. Oh yeah, I spent 6 years in Africa ou dabah kna3rif a3rabiya darija. 
45. I am a creature of habit. 
46. I am also like a cat because I find patches of sunlight and lay in them.
47. I am almost always singing.
48. I have an international scarf collection.
49. I can't sleep when my feet are cold.
