NuMbeR 1. I am both stubborn and passionate. I think that stubborn and passionate go hand-in-hand somehow...does that seem right to anyone else?

nUmbEr 2. Back in the days of, I don't know, high school and junior high, I loved shopping. It was such a fun way to waste so much time and money. Such is not the case any more. I can kill a lot of time in book stores, but that's it. -I would say I enjoy shoe shopping too, but even that gets old after 30 minutes or so. Shopping just does not thrill me like it used to once upon a time.

NumBEr 3. I used to think blogging was silly and unnecessary. But then my friend signed me up for a blog...got me started and showed me the ropes. Nowadays, if a week goes by without a post, I wonder what's wrong with my life and you better believe I'll find something to blog about.

NUmBeR 4. I have become an apple pie snob. Not really, but technically. A few years ago my mom and I came across this deluxe apple pie recipe, and now I don't really have the stomach (or taste bud tolerance) for any apple pie that isn't really up there. That's not to say I'm not willing to try other apple pies. But if it ain't spectacular, I usually have a few more bites (out of courtesy) or give the rest to a friend or family member whose tastes aren't so snooty. (This quirk almost seems evil! Especially written here for all to see...)

nuMBeR 5. I can't drink milk all alone, but I LOVE milk with certain foods. For example, a peanut butter (and raspberry jam) sandwich cannot be consumed without a glass of cold milk. (The milk must always be very cold. That's a given.) I also really enjoy a glass of milk when I eat pizza or spaghetti. Milk is an essential part of an oatmeal-with-craisins-brown-sugar-and-toasted-almond breakfast. Among other things...

NuMbEr 6. If I'm annoyed and/or on the verge of getting angry about something, it's best to just let me be for a few minutes. My anger does not last long at all...as my brother Aaron has said, "It's fast and furious." But if someone tells me "don't be mad" or something similar to it, my anger is less fast and more furious, and sometimes misdirected at the person who has made it seem like my feelings aren't valid. It's not like I'm a threat to humanity or anything; I'm not gonna hit someone for telling me not to be angry while I'm angry...but it sure does make things feel worse and the feelings definitely last longer and are more intense. I hate being angry, so it's best to just let me be. (Even if it's something I'm stubborn and wrong about-don't tell me about it until the moment of anger has passed! :)
