Another List

Unfortunately, I have recently rediscovered writer's block. Though I have ignored writing a blog post for some time because of that wretched beast, I have decided that today was the day to put something up. There is no schedule for my creativity- I hate forcing an idea out of my brain for the sake of keeping to a schedule so I have decided to do one of the things I do best when being engulfed in writer's block. I write lists. Without further ado, here is twenty-five things that my friends may or may not know about me:

1. I am a nerdfighter. 
2. When I grow up, I want to be a middle school English teacher.
3. When I was little I wanted to be a cartographer. 
4. My favorite athletes are Rebecca Soni and Missy Franklin.
5. I do the things I do to impress myself, almost never to impress others.
6. I want to learn how to play the ukulele. 
7. As of late I seem to be more in love with the general idea of love than in love with any one person.
8. I have a nerdy fangirl crush on Andrew Garfield.
9. My favorite color is emerald green.
10. I am somewhat of an introvert.
11. My three favorite words to use in my writing are exultant, opulent, and plethora. 
12. Sometimes I correct people in my head when they use incorrect grammar.
13. My favorite books are Heartbeat by Sharon Creech, The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall, and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne.
14. My favorite ice cream flavor is moosetracks.
15. I choose not to curse because I have come to the realization that those who do sound like lamebrains.
16. A pet peeve of mine is when people my own age are rude to adults.
17. I am afraid of dying (who isn't), hurting people, spiders, and growing up too quickly.
18. I love swim meets but I'm not crazy about swim practices, especially those that include breath control.
19. I know all the words to "I've never written a love song" by Eden Hain a.k.a. teganbowiefreak. 
20. I am a baseball fan. 
21. My favorite drink is strawberry lemonade.
22. I have an unhealthy addiction to Instagram. 
23. If I was a mythical creature, I would want to be a mermaid like the ones in Pirates of the Caribbean. Ariel made bad life choices. 
24. I believe that everyone should be treated equally.
25. The best people in my life are just down the hall.
