"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Random Things

~Why try to be someone you're not. Life is hard enough without adding impersonation to the skills required.
~Robert Brault


Random things about me:

-I love the cold, the winter, and night time. (Though right now I really have Spring fever...)

-I am a night owl-I usually end up going to bed, not because I feel like it, but because I know I have to get up in the morning.

-I actually broke the snooze button on my old alarm clock-it was all crooked and made it that much harder to actually turn off the alarm

-Top fears: talking on the telephone, public speaking, spiders, heights

-I also have all kinds of weird worries from too many CSI, NCIS, Criminal Minds, Bones, and other such murder shows... such as checking behind the shower curtain, checking my back seat when I get in the car, I don't stand too close to my car while unlocking it at night in case someone is under it, open blinds at night...

-I refuse to sleep by a window since Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped when I was in fifth grade-despite knowing six extra feet really isn't going to save me

-I wish I could act-I think it would be so much fun!

-I've never broken a bone but I have had bunions, ingrown toenails, and tendenitous

-I have also had a black eye-which I got playing Frisbee with my brothers (note to self: never again play Frisbee with a golf Frisbee-they are heavy and painful)

-I cannot stand when people touch their veins-it seriously grosses me out

-I refuse to leave messages on answering machines

-One of my biggest pet peeves is the use of 'is' and 'are'-using 'is' when something is plural. But I catch myself doing it, which bothers me even more

-I can't wait to have a summer without school... and wish I had a spring break :)

-I absolutely hate 'Frosty the Snowman' and 'John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt'-worst songs ever!

-If I could change one thing about myself I would be more social

-I am a total perfectionist with OCD

-When I was younger that OCD was so bad I don't know how I got over it (I would only walk on certain colored tile, I had a certain pair of socks to where in the bathroom and laundry room, I washed my hands so much I had to wear gloves with cream stuff on my hands to bed because my skin looked like elephant skin, I would sit on my pockets at school but only on my knees at home... there were a lot of strange things)

-I am a procrastinator-this blog gives me another thing to do instead of homework :)

-I keep a to-do-list and only feel productive if I can mark 15-20 things off a day

-In high school I had to hide books from myself to get things done-or leave them in my locker at school

-I have never had a hamburger

-My favorite vacation was probably when we went to Disneyworld-because my whole family was together!

-When I was little I always carried a doll around and love babies now :)

-I would rather be deaf than blind (I have put much thought into this)

-I can recognize almost anyone I know by their walk

-I miss dancing so much and wish I could still do it :/

-I have an amazing bucket list and I am super excited to do everything on it!

AND

-I really need to get back to my homework... :)
