25 Random Things About Me!

I've been tagged by Samantha Marie- I am supposed to post 25 random facts about me on my blog! I stole some of her facts for my list, though... hehe ;)

I tag Garrett, Halle, Cat, and anyone else who wants to post 25 random facts about themselves on their blogs... :D

Here goes:

1. I find it nearly impossible to describe myself. I'm growing and changing on a daily basis, and I have so much to discover about myself. I can't put all of myself into words. Lol!

2. I deeply enjoy talking about God, Jesus, the Bible, redemption, love in Christ, what God is doing in people's lives, etc. It's amazing. I have yet to be bored with these conversations. I wish that I could talk about God with others everyday of my life.

3. I love giving compliments, I compliment people all the time. Even people I don’t know, in Wal-Mart, waiting in lines, wherever. I figure if I am thinking it in my head, I may as well say it out loud. A compliment given can really make someone’s day. If you really think about it, there is always something nice you can say. I NEVER, EVER give compliments that I don't mean, though.

4. I would LOVE to be more into fashion, it's just such an expensive hobby! Lol!

5. I admire all different kinds of clothes. I know emo people, girls who dress in dainty, elegant clothes, the people who dress in fun colorful clothes, and well, the list goes on. I love all of the different clothing categories. I can't get away with wearing clothes from any one of the "categories", because some of them are just not me, but I think that there is beauty in every category, and sometimes I wish that I could dress totally different every day :)

6. I admire art. Both looking at it, and being artistic myself. Especially when it concerns photography. When I'm inspired, I can paint a beautiful picture, take a breathtaking photo, etc. I cannot doing anything artistic on command, though. Hehe.

7. Delight takes over my entire being when I get a letter or gift in the mail, or a comment online. Lol :)

8. I have always loved music, and had an intense desire to do music lessons. I've especially wanted to learn how to play the piano and drums.

9. I can become discouraged easily. When people say something negative about me, or have little faith in me, I tend to immediately give up. I REALLY need to get over that.

10. I think learning is quite enjoyable, when I feel like it is actually going to get me somewhere in life. Hehe :) Even when it is really hard, it's pretty exciting! Foreign languages and math are two exceptions~ I think that those two subjects could get you very far in life, but they are considered to be unbearable forms of torture in my mind. Well, except for sign language- I think sign language would be a lot of fun! :)

11. My Mom is exceedingly creative 24/7, which leads others to believe that I am, too. I can be, and often am extremely creative, but I have to be inspired, intensely interested, and in the mood to be. Hehe :)

12. I want to travel. Everywhere. The only problem is, I feel passionate disgust toward riding in an airplane or boat. Haha! I love road trips, though! I would cheerfully spend an entire week in a car, especially if I could drive! :D Sadly, it's not possible to drive across the world.

13. I ADORE fruit. God is so good to have created fruit. Sometimes, when I eat fruit, I'm shocked to think about how some people don't believe in God. Have they eaten grapes, strawberries, cantaloupe, etc?

14. I LOVE dancing SO much! :) It is definitely NOT something that comes naturally to me, but I would be OVERJOYED if it was something I could pick up easily!

15. I make my stomach hurt from laughing every single day.

16. I carry my camera with me wherever I go. Some of my favorite photos were taken when I thought to myself "Oh my gosh, I wish I had a camera right now,"...and I did!

17. I'm a slow learner. It is beyond depressing :(

18. I am very passionate about adoption!

19. One of the random things that I look forward to when I am an adult with my own house is hosting parties. Lol :) That's definitely not the main thing I look forward to, but it's one thing I think about occasionally that causes me to happily sigh.

20. When I'm sad or angry, I generally keep it to myself. Unless I'm REALLY depressed or furious, which is pretty rare.

21. I think it would be fun to learn more about interior design.

22. I would happily wear a dress every day, if the weather was nice. Also, I would LOVE to wear high-heeled shoes, but I'm already much taller than all but two of my friends, so it doesn't really happen.

23. A huge part of my happiness comes from figuring out what makes other people happy and making them happy in that way. When I'm not making someone else happy, I have a hard time being happy myself. And when I'm not happy myself, I have a hard time making other people happy. Lol.

24. I love hugs. For some reason, though, I rarely offer hugs~ I always wait for someone else to give me a hug. I used to give people hugs all of the time, and then came across friends who didn't like hugs, so now I just... wait. Lol :)

25. I enjoy making lists, so creating this one was a lot of fun for me. I thought 25 things was going to take a LOT of thinking, especially since I have other "random facts about me" on my blog already, but I actually have many more things that I want to write... I'm kinda sad it's over! LOL :)
