Fact VII

Fact VII > Well I've been remarkably serious and boring in my fact listing, and that's just not fun for anyone. I'm sure the moment I complete numero seven I'll be filled with hilarious anecdotes and wonderfully quirky stories about myself, but not now. So here's a kind of embarrassing one, but it could also be endearing, depends on how you look at it... Anyway, I have what I like to think of as conditional craziness. It's conditional because for it to occur three things must happen. Number 1, I must be at home. Number 2, it must late enough for me to be somewhat sleepy And number 3, I must be hyper. These three factors combine to form a craziness that is both hilarious and ridiculous all at the same time. I'll share three example of this with you, each showing a different side of this phenomenon. The first happened a good time ago, I was at home over a break from college and I was sitting on the living room floor, you know I always sit on the floor, even when a chair is available, I don't know why, it's kind of weird... But anyway, so I'm sitting on the floor and just randomly I say "Oranges are awesome because they're a fruit and a color." I don't know why I said it, but it seemed amazing at the time. Now that was a minor example, here's a more potent one.  Over spring break my sister, mom, and I had just got back from one of the many Easter things we had to go to at church (somehow my dad got out of it...). I don't know why, but I was super hyper and it was about 9:00 p.m. For some reason I decided to pull out my trusty Mac in the kitchen and turn on my itunes to the playlist that holds my old ballet warm ups (not what you'd think, I'm talking Aerosmith, I was a cool ballerina) and pretty much danced, jumped, ran like a crazy person around the downstairs. I chased Wicket (my dog) around until he started barking and we were both told to be quiet. One last example, this one is the most common type. One Sunday I was home after church and my fam and I were making lunch in the kitchen. Once again I pull out my trusty lil'Mac and this time turn on my oldies playlist. I sang and danced to every last song (they sang to some of them as well just for the record...), keeping my family entertained for a good amount of time until Wicket started barking at me and we got in trouble again, our fun tends to end that way. So that's it, my last fact. Now you probably think that I'm crazy and that my family is nuts as well, but not so. Well actually, probably we are, but oh well... Ok well it's time to go to bed for me. Hope you enjoyed my 7 facts, honestly I'm glad they're over, too much pressure!! 

I have a request that one person be tagged in this Fact Game, so there you go Ron, consider yourself tagged!

Fact VI

Fact VI > I loooove alliteration. When I say a sentence and each word starts with the same letter it's like my tongue is smiling. 

Fact IV and V

Fact IV > I have the ugliest feet ever known to man kind. But I'm strangely proud of them because they can do amazing things in ballet shoes!

Fact V > I loooooooooove puzzles. Maybe it's nerdy, but I don't care, I love them and I'm good at them and you're jealous. 

Fact III

Fact III > I  really enjoy watching Frasier and The Golden Girls... I don't know why. I think I like TGG because when I was little it was on after Full House and I remember my mom never let me watch it because it wasn't "appropriate". So there, mom, I win.

Fact II

Fact II > For years I wanted to be a buyer for a big department store like Marshall Fields (tear) or Bergdorfs. I loved (love) fashion and made a point to watch the New York fashion week shows on TV every year. My plan was always to go to Purdue, major in fashion merchandising, and spend a semester studying at a design school in New York City. I even had a binder full of designs that I did in elementary using my Barbie Makeover stencils! Most of them I copied out of fashion magazines anyway... Oh yeah, I was that cool 5th grader reading Style and Elle! But senior year a well meaning history teacher convinced me to do otherwise, and I have to say that it was the right choice. I'm not cut throat enough to make in the fashion industry anyway, or tall enough!!

Fact III to follow shortly...

Fact I

I love Chicago. If I won oodles of cash and a 

free vacation to anywhere in the US on a game show, I would go to Chicago. I've been there probably a hundred times and I still love it. Sometime in late elementary I got to take classes at the Chicago Ballet, and quite honestly I hated it, it was on the 14th floor of some building on Wabash and they refused to use air conditioning because sweat is good for you (however, let me tell you, 90 degree July heat and sweaty pointe shoes filled with pus from your toes are not a good mixture...) Anyway, during the hours I waited with my mom and/or dad for the South Shore to come and rescue me we explored downtown Chicago. It wasn't my first time there, I had taken countless field trips to the museums and my grandma had taken me to Marshall Fields for Christmas, but it was the first time that I went and just walked around. I don't enjoy being on a schedule, I like to be able to do what I want to do and I love to look at things and observe. That summer was the first time I got to do that in Chicago, and it was the beginning of my love for that city. 

I love that it's always too cold or too hot so dressing appropriately is pretty much impossible, you'll wear a parka and I guarantee that it will be 70 degrees when you step onto Millennium Station platform. I like the crazy people on the South Shore and the people who will hand you a pamphlet on anything from Judaism to why George Bush looks like a monkey. I love LaSalle Street and how it looks so clean and pretty. I love the loop and the noisy El. I love how because everyone is so rude when you do smile at them or say excuse me they look at you like you just handed them a one hundred dollar bill (or they just stare down their 

stuck up noses at you...). I love going into buildings and getting in an elevator, pushing all of the buttons, then getting out on each floor to make a mad dash to the nearest window to check out the view! I love that Subway is the only fast food place that costs the same amount as in Indiana. I love that Chicagoans won't shop at Macy's. I love to hear the spirited debates over the Cubs and Sox in the streets. I love how it's always too busy and the lines are always too long. I love everything about that city! Honestly I could go on and on, and I'm sure in a future blog I will, but for now I think this is enough...
