Oh, it was high time to update this list. Here we go:
1. I'm an RN by trade and an incorrigible introvert at heart.
2. I hate cooked peas and carrots. Also lima beans.
3. I was born on Cinco de Mayo.
4. That song you have stuck in your head? DON'T SING IT FOR ME. PLEASE. Because it will get caught in my head, too. And then we'll both be sad.
5. Cilantro tastes like soap to me.
6. When I was twenty, I tried to make myself smoke a pack of cigarettes. Hated it so much I only made it through the first two and threw the rest out.

8. I used to have 2 other cats (Opus, Missy), three goldfish (Nutsy, Trigger, and Peter O'Toole), a hamster (Scooter), and briefly, two kittens (Ben and Jocey).
9. I have perfect pitch.
10. I do not judge you if you do not have perfect pitch.
11. I play piano, violin, and sing.

16. Jason is two years younger than I am.

45. My favorite movie of all time is Amadeus. It is rad.
46. When I run, I feel better almost instantly. Even if I'm cursing under my breath.
47. I break out into hives when I hear metal scraping metal, like a metal spoon scraping a metal bowl.
48. I love baking even more than eating what I bake.
49. I love playing with makeup. I'm learning to wear it more.
50. I don't mind getting my blood drawn.
51. Funny embarrassing Disney anecdote: outside of Pirates of the Caribbean ride, Jason and I saw a very short person walk by. Jason: "I think that was Warwick Davis. You know, Willow." Me, scolding: "J, every short person is NOT Warwick Davis." I read later that day in the paper that it was, in fact, Warwick Davis.
52. Some of my other favorite movies are Finding Nemo, Dirty Dancing, Pretty in Pink, Cars, Howard's End, The Goonies, Office Space, Brave, and the Princess Bride.
53. I know it's unreasonable and irrational, but I still secretly want everyone to like me.
54. I am learning to love Florida weather a little more than I used to. But we're still not on good terms.
55. I dearly love the people I know in Florida, which makes it extremely hard to leave.
56. I never tan anymore. Too risky.
57. I don't like it when I get told I look tired. Even though it's usually true.

70. I took four years of French in high school. I remember none of it.
71. When I was 12, I tried to climb over a chain link fence at my school and got my underwear caught at the top. I couldn't get free and asked my mom and/or cousin (who successfully climbed over) to free me, except they were laughing too hard and I nearly impaled some sensitive areas waiting for them to calm down.
72. I chew my cuticles when I am stressed out.
73. I grew up on Apple computers.
74. I cannot ski, even on perfectly horizontal, flat snow. I always fall.

76. Other books I love: The Red Tent, Bridget Jones' Diary, all the Harry Potter books, the Little House on the Prairie books, and Redeeming Love.
77. I have no intention of ever delivering a baby without serious legal narcotics at my disposal. (Thankfully, I have never had to).

79. I have some really, really terrific friends. They are rad.

82. I hit the snooze button repeatedly. I never get up on the first buzz.
83. I can only eat slightly underripe bananas. Anything riper makes me gag.

85. I need to be alone when I am having a hard time.
86. I don't like it when I am interrupted during a story, or when I see others being interrupted, though I know I'm mad guilty of interrupting others.

90. I cannot stand vampire movies or TV shows and think they are completely ridiculous.
91. I was born in Birmingham, Alabama.
92. I used to dislike big dogs. Now I'm kinda wanting one. A gentle one.
93. I have a hard time shopping at Ross, TJ Maxx, and thrift stores. I do not have the patience to sift through the disorganization to find the bargains.
94. I prefer milk chocolate to dark.
95. I am always up for a good nap.
96. I've never broken a bone.
97. I've watched a person being born, and I've watched someone take their very last breath. Both times were incredible privileges.
98. On our honeymoon, Jason and I went to a no-longer-maintained park in the middle of nowhere in the Canadian Rockies, off a very remote stretch of road, and actually went looking for grizzly bears.
99. I am pretty sure the chocolate chip cookies at Chick-fil-A are made with crack.
