i feel the need to write something fantastic. this is my first post, after all! i've never been big on writing though, and frankly, this account was set up solely so my friends and family can follow my adventures in china this upcoming semester (darn that chinese government and their block on facebook....) however, it's kind of exciting to think about all the potential a brand new blog has. maybe i'll become a good writer? or maybe i'll just be able to organize some of the thoughts swimming around up in that noggin of mine.
anyway, what's a blog without a list of "1oo things about me"? clearly not a good one. (just kidding, but it seems like a pretty popular thing to do, so i figured it's a good start.) so here are 100 things about me that are relatively interesting, silly, or just laughable.
1) i have a twin brother (ben) who is serving an LDS mission in the dominican republic.
2) we have a rather successful method of convincing people we are telepathic. a kid i knew in high school got so freaked out, he stopped talking to us. we never told him the truth ;)
3) i thought i was a cat for about 5 years. now that i have a cat, i'm not so fond of them. such is life, i guess.
4) that same cat is named thomas. she's a girl.
5) i have a stuffed dog i sleep with ever night who's name is fingle.

28) when i was in 5th grade, i was positive i would marry one of the backstreet boys. my chances seemed pretty high to me seeing as there are five of them.

40) my dad is extremely protective of me when it comes to dating. he's the greatest.

well, i'm sure i could come up with 100 things about myself, but my brain is soupy after coming up with 66- not to mention this list probably took me far longer to write than it should have! hey, i'll finish it tomorrow (maybe....not likely....probably not.....who am i kidding?)
i think i'm going to like blogging.
