Ok, I'll jump on!
20 random facts:

1. I love lists.  Pretty excited about the next 19 facts.
2. Almost every day Tyler and I listen to "Ho Hey" by the Lumineers and dance around the house while we clean.  Singing the chorus with him makes me tear up every. single. time. Go listen to it.
3. I am a beyond horrible dancer and have passed down my moves to my son.  Sorry to any future dates.  He comes by the strange flapping honestly.
4. I don't wear makeup because I have no idea how to apply it.  I either come away looking gothic, bruised, or like I'm still not wearing any.
5. When I was a child, I used to think of how I would confront an intruder should they ever venture into our home.  It always resulted in me confronting the crap out of them and them backing down because of my sharp wit and solid reasoning as to why they should not kidnap me.  It still gives me a little thrill thinking of a confrontation of such magnitude.
6. I have no problems with confrontation.
7. I cannot play sports...not because of lack of will, but because my competitive nature is seriously detrimental to my non-existent athletic abilities.
8. I am terrible at keeping in contact.  I know who my true friends are by how graciously they excuse the fact that I almost never phone or email back.  I prefer spontanious communication and feel loved when those close to me understand and respond in kind.
9.  I would love to be able to write as well as my mom.
10. There are three friendships from my past that I am haunted by. Strong words, but true. I think about them almost daily, though it has been over 10 years since those friendships thrived.  I dwell in the past and wish desperately that they were a part of my present.
11. I got married at 19 and have not once regretted doing so at such a young age.
12.  I say dumb things like "but they're so young"! when I hear of others getting married at a similar age.
13. I love to sing.  If I had to pick a voice I would like to sound like, it would either be Adele, or the girl from the Civil Wars.
14. My sock drawer is a mess of old and mismatched socks.  It drives Mitch bonkers, but does not faze me at all.
15. I call the drawer in my kitchen that holds my utensils my "glory drawer".  Because that's what my mother called hers and there really is no better name.
16. Being late - for anything - makes me incredibly antsy.  Our friends joke that if we're not at least 5 minutes early, we're basically late by my standards.
17. My parents bought me a horse when I was 15.  Best. parents. ever.
18. When I was in grade 5 I orchestrated a prank on my teacher for April fools in which the class replaced the coffee in his covered mug with soy sauce.  I wasn't sure if he'd laugh or expel me. Thankfully he laughed.
19. I have an obsession with new books.  Not buying new books...but keeping books looking brand new.  A creased cover makes me sad.
20. While I am a procrastinator to the nth degree, both my boy's baby books are up to date.
