15 Day Challenge: Day 1

Guess what y'all?! Time for the first day of the 15 Day Challenge (hashtag #15daychallenge on Twitter)! Today's prompt:

[Day 1]: List 15 fun facts about yourself. 

I tried to list things that I haven't already listed on my blog before, so it was tough!

[1] I can recite all the lyrics to at least six Eminem songs, but have been known to occasionally forget about Dre (my favorite is Real Slim Shady).

[2] I have an uncanny ability to hit on/pick up chicks, so I frequently act as a wingwoman for my guy friends.

[3] I just joined a dating website ('cuz it's friggin' hilarious, plus it's easier to blog about dates when they don't know your blog URL) and so far, I've had a guy ask me to impress him then list off 5 trivia questions I was supposed to answer, had someone else ask my IQ, had two men over the age of 45 express interest, had an email from a man named "BondageJoe," and gotten matched up with a hottie barista I used to have a distant crush on. Not even making these up, guys.

[4] The Olympic Trials make me bawl like a baby because you get to see someone realizing their dreams are coming true.

[5] Any time I'm feeling too sedentary or heavier than I should be, I watch Biggest Loser on Netflix for inspiration. I also really like Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition because Chris Powell is the most gracious man ever.

[6] I chose to go into research psychology/NSC instead of clinical practice because I have this horrible habit of getting too emotionally involved in others' stories. I don't think I would be able to efficiently cut myself off from clients' problems, and to be completely honest, I don't think I'd want to learn how to do that (I like my compassion!). 

[7] I am extremely intimidated by people who are well-versed with the Bible. I feel like I'm seen as an inadequate Christian because I can't recite Bible verses or get jokes that require biblical knowledge.

[8] I kind of eat vegetarian. Let me be clear: I'm not a vegetarian; it's just difficult to cook meat for one person. I eat a lot of Morning Star and Boca 'cuz they're good and usually easier to prepare, plus vegetables are delicious!

[9] I didn't actually want a Twitter account, but a friend made me a screen name and "gifted" it to me. I joined because he clearly wanted me to see the tweeting light, but it's funny because I tweet more than him now (thanks, JHannah!).

[10] I still sleep with Melvin, the teddy bear I received from Jeremy Rude for Valentine's Day in 7th grade.

[11] I love all my blogger friends, but I secretly get excited when people I know IRL tell me they read my blog and just never comment (hi, Janelle!).

[12] I have a knack for being able to empathize with almost anybody in the whole world, as long as they're expressing their thoughts (similar to #6). Even though I have a huge mouth, I'm a great listener and find myself listening to others' problems simply because they open up to me.

[13] I suck at anything hair-related. I have three hair styles: straight, wavy/curly, and up in a ponytail (work that updo!). Don't expect anything different, 'cuz I'm not creative at all.

[14] I would take nonfiction books over fiction any day. Fiction books are pretty interesting and creative, but I think nonfiction is so intriguing and interesting that you can't not love learning!

[15] I have the most awesome family. Not just my mom, dad, and brother (who are all stellar), but my entire extended family is comprised of amazingness. Seriously. Be jealous.
