100 Things - Parteth Unoeth

I am such a bandwagon fan. I seem incapable of coming up with my OWN cool blog things, so I just copy everyone else.

But here it goes, I'm going to write 100 things about me so you, the internet, can love me as much as I loove me-self. I might have to split it up 50/50 but we'll see how far I get!

100. I was born in Denver, Colorado and lived in a teeeeny tiny town called Erie until I was 6 years old.

99. I was in LOVE with John Elway when I was a small girl. I was determined to marry him.

98. Once I got over Elway, I wanted to marry Billy Joel. Apparently ugly older men really did it for me as a child!

97. After my parents divorce, we moved 5 times in 6 years. Luckily, most of the moves were in the same zip code, but I got really, really good at packing up and moving my stuff!

96. I skipped sixth grade, causing me to go from elementary school straight to Junior High. And I was NEEEERRRDDDYYY looking, and obviously a nerd in general, so it's an understatement for me to say that it was an awkward year for me.

95. In high school I told my three best friends that I couldn't be friends with them for a while because I felt I was being mistreated. When I finally started making other friends and gained some confidence I told them to hit the road.

96. About three months later those girls and I kissed and made up, and two of them became, and continue to be, just about the best friends and most incredible women a girl could ask to be associated with. But BONUS, the "new friends" joined up with the "old friends" and we created a bigger, better group of "super friends!"

97. I was baptized Catholic as a baby, for my father.

98. I was baptized Mormon at 8 years old, for myself. (My mom wasn't too upset about it either!)

97. I swore that after I graduated from high school I would move out of Utah County for college . . . specifically that I would never go to BYU or UVSC.

96. I attended both BYU and UVSC. By choice.

95. I once discovered the passcode to my then-boyfriend's cell phone and I'd call and listen to his messages all the time. Bad idea? Probably, but this is also how I discovered he was not only cheating on me, but planning to marry the damn girl!

94. I got back together with the above idiot boyfriend. And continued to date him on and off for TWO YEARS. Stupid much???

93. I met my husband while I was still seeing the above mentioned idiot.

92. I was once dumped by a guy I didn't know I was dating. Over the phone.

91. Once, after one date, a guy threatened to commit suicide if I didn't come see him.

90. Once, I told a guy I hardly knew to go ahead and kill himself for all I cared.

89. Once, that guy who threatened to commit suicide was just looking for attention.

88. I was stalked by a US Marine. After one date. And no kiss.

87. I know the name and date of every "first kiss" I ever had.

88. My husband was lucky kiss #50.

87. I was once referred to as a "mormon slut." While I don't ALL the way agree with that statement, it might be a little bit true.

86. My Mom taught me to ski as soon as I could walk, so I don't remember learning how.

85. Despite skiing since I was tiny, I have never skied a black diamond.

84. #85 makes me a huge pansie.

83. Except for when I was very small, I have never intentionally ingested an alcoholic beverage.

82. I LOVE Christmas. Love, love, love it.

81. I hate the date of my birthday . . . New Year's Eve. Call me selfish, but your birthday sucks when everyone in the world is celebrating but it's not for you.

80. Until I was five, I thought everyone in the world WAS celebrating for my birthday. (Thanks a LOT, Mom!)

79. I LOVE Disneyland. I love it so much I'm afraid to go to Disneyworld for fear that Disneyland won't seem as cool. And I can't DRIVE to Disneyworld, and that is a problem if I start to love it more than Disneyland.

78. I think I have a deviated septum or something. If I or someone else squeezes my nose or something, I have to physically separate the nostril so I can breathe out of that side again.

76. I was a Music Dance Theatre Major in college. This becomes funny because I don't really dance, and I never passed my end of the semester dance tests. The singing and the acting saved my tuckus.

75. I was asked to Prom by one of the weirdest guys in high school . . . in front of 100 people. And I said no.

74. No one else asked me to Prom that year so I asked someone and paid for it myself.

73. I crashed another school's Senior Ball with a guy who had already graduated from that school -- and I was a junior at the time. We had NO business being there but we had SO much fun. The guy was one of my good friend's boyfriends. We were just friends but I'm pretty sure we pissed her off anyway. Oops!

72. I LOVE to cook and I dream of a gourmet kitchen . . . and no job so I can work out, then cook. ALLL DAY LONG.

71. Despite the cultural pressure to have children, I am just not feeling like it's time to have little mini-Murphs yet. The day will come and we will have kids, just not yet.

70. I have a job in Marketing. See #76 for why this is amusing.

69. I love cheddar cheese on graham crackers. Call me crazy, but try it before you judge me.

68. I grew so sick of thrift stores and their smell and searching through racks of nasty clothes as a kid, that I plan to never shop at one again. I know there are amazing deals there and I judge no one who shops there. I just associate unhappy memories with them and I don't want to go back.

67. While I was on Accutane in college, I unknowingly got a bloody nose while making out with my boyfriend. I didn't realize it for about ten minutes. Holy crap, right?!?!?

66. I was once dumped for the way I ate CHEETOS.

65. I caught a guy I was dating having sex with some random girl. His response? "She was here first."

64. A friend of mine once told a guy I was seeing that I was dating other people and he dumped me. I didn't know we were exclusive, so needless to say, this was the second time I got dumped by a guy I didn't know I was dating.

63. The mother of my high school boyfriend hated me so much that I wasn't allowed in their house and he had to go on a date with someone else "every other date."

62. One night when I was pretty much asleep I made out with my best friend's boyfriend. I woke up very shocked.

61. My best friend and I obviously had some "issues" for a while, but we are now closer than ever. Thank heavens for time healing all wounds.

60. My brother is a veteran of the War in Iraq and I don't think he'll ever know how much I respect him for his service.

59. My other brother is a recovering heroine addict and I don't think he'll ever know how proud I am for asking for help and for how much he's accomplished in two years.

58. I have watched my sister dig herself out of some very bad situations and I don't think she'll ever know how proud I am of her for the decisions she's made in her life and where she is now.

57. I suck at giving the "silent treatment." I just don't think I'm capable of not talking.

56. I am VERY hard to severely piss off. . . but watch out if you do it. I have a suppressed Irish temper.

55. I was destined to marry a "Matt." Most of my serious boyfriends were named Matt. My friend and I used to say I should tatoo the name Matt on my butt, we were that sure I'd marry one. We said the same thing about her and the name "Brian." She married a Brian and I, obviously, married a Matt.

54. If I could, I'd eat mashed potatoes with melted cheese for breakfast every day.

53. I had dark, dark brown hair when I met my husband. He had no idea I was blonde for about a month after we started dating . . . and that was when he saw a picture of me and asked "who is that? Do you have a sister I haven't met?"

52. Because of my touchy-feely relationship with my girlfriends, we are often asked if we are lesbians. Nothing against lesbians . . . we just aren't and it's funny that so many people ask.

51. I got hit on twice, six months apart, by the same guy . . . the funniest part? I was wearing the exact same outfit and hairstyle (two braids) both times. He was very surprised the second time when I said "Nik, right? Yeah you asked for my phone number before and never called me."

50. I have man knees. I will never have sexy girl legs because I have thick, mannish knees.

Ok that's all I have for today. I promise to post more later.

I also promise, Stacy, that I will post horrible, ugly dance pictues from high school.

Hold your breath peeps! It's gonna be excitin'!
