So I got tagged awhile ago. I didn't really know what that meant; remember I'm new to this blog thing. I finally figured it out. I write six things about myself you may or may not know. So I hope you enjoy what I have to say!! . . .


1. I love parades. You must think I'm crazy, I know. But I love them so much and it's not going to change. Ever. So get over it. Don't try to change my mind on the fact. I don't know why they are so appealing. I think it all stems back from the good 'ol Fourth of July parade in Provo. That is my favorite holiday, after all. I just like the fact that we can march down the street in our randomly decorated paper mache floats and pretend we're famous. Waving, waving, waving, to whomever. And the people watching just waving, waving, waving, to the people on the floats. We don't know who the heck they are, either. Oh, it's Miss Springville and her royal attendants! Or it's Mr. Karate's Karate house doing Karate moves on the back of a flat-bed truck! Is it sad that I always wanted to dress up and wave, wave, wave like a beauty queen to people I don't know and who don't know me? Or do Karate moves for all the world to see? Or maybe I could just pass out fliers on my rollerblades? It's not too much to ask.
I also love the fact that I can get free candy from mysterious people who just throw it at me. One time I got a toothbrush. That was a little random. But I used that toothbrush and every day thought, wow. I got this for free at a parade. You can't beat that!
Man, I love a good parade.

2. I love Coke. The regular stuff. The hard stuff. You can't beat it. People try to convert me to diet, sprite, root beer, juice, water. Yuck, Yuck. Don't waste your time, okay? Yeah, I might go on kicks of trying to "cut down". But I know in my heart that I will always be an addict. And for those of you who send me those emails saying how you can pour Coke on a battery to clean off the acid, or that you can remove mildew in your toilet if you pour some in the bowl instead of Comet. Is that supposed to scare me? Actually, it is incredibly helpful for when I need to clean these items.
All I am saying is that I am serious about this love for Coca Cola Classic. How serious?? Well, I own two Coke shirts if that says anything about my devotion to it. Yep, I thought so.

3. I love all movies. It is a bit of a weakness, I'll admit. Seriously, it's hard to disappoint me. I like pretty much any movie I watch. I would be a horrible critic. I even liked Lady in the Water. Boy did I get harassed about liking that one. Joe can always predict my response at the end of a movie: "Yeah, I liked it. It was good!"

4. I am into abbreviating words. I find it saves me a lot of time when I talk. It catches a lot of people off guard and I have to go back and explain what I said. This then takes up more time. Come on, People!! Stay with the times! So here is a glossary of a few words I use so you can get into the craze.
FYI- For your information
BTW- By the way
ASAP- As soon as possible
WTF- What the freak? (no swearing)
OMG- Oh my goodness or gosh (no swearing)
TTYL- Talk to you later
STFU- Shut the freak up (no swearing)
BF- Best friends
IDK- I don't know
Looks like fun huh?? Go ahead, try it! :) LOL
Okay, I'm being a little sarcastic. I only use them every once in awhile. Promise. :)

5. I don't really like to watch football as much as I act like I do. It's mostly to support the love of the game for Joe. I have to humor him. I don't follow the game very well. I think it's because I haven't played it myself. SO WHAT if I thought the San Diego Chargers were called the Lightning Bolts? That's what is on their helmets! Don't confuse us. I don't memorize every players name and stats. I don't know what player or coach is Mormon and who isn't. I think I am fine to know the basic rules and terminology like; first down, touchdown, interception, fifteen yard penalty, field goal attempt, on-side kick, line of scrimmage, etc.
It's a great game; just don't ask me what's going on.

6. I am starting to like politics to the point where I hate them. I appreciate the fact that there are thousands of talk shows devoted to hashing out political issues. But sometimes I get a little overloaded. Do we really need to talk about no child left behind for 8 hours? Twenty minutes is good. I'll even give you an hour. But after that, on to the next issue. There are plenty to choose from.
I am not a very good debater. I'll know why I have a certain view with one or two reasons to back it up. I don't need fifty. And I don't need people to try to talk me out of it. Can't we just agree to disagree? No, that would be too easy.



So thanks for listening. Hopefully you got to know me a little better. . . And that you'll still be my friend. :)
