Honest scrap, or crap? You decide!


It is called the honest scrap award and these are the rules...A) First list 10 honest things about yourself--and make it interesting even if you have to dig deep.B) Pass the award on to 7 bloggers that you feel embody the spirit of Honest Scrap...


I feel like my life is pretty much an open book so any of this information is probably no surprise to anyone who knows me! Well, here goes!


1. One of my favorite things to do is sing in the car. I love turning the radio up and singing my guts out. I have to be alone though, otherwise I am too worried about what I sound like.


2. I have cetaphobia. In layman's terms, an irrational fear of WHALES! It is really bizarre and I totally know it is irrational. It has gotten worse as time goes by. Killer whales don't bother me though. Just all others. I get sweaty and nauseous and the chills anytime I see a picture of them or even just get a mental picture of one. Even the animated one in Finding Nemo puts me over the edge. However, everyone thinks it's really funny to point them out to me whenever they can. GROSS!


3. I am a comic book geek. This has been somewhat recent. I had a friend in middle school who would lend my his X-Men comic books and I liked them then, but recently Levi has been getting into them which in turn has had me getting hooked. My only problem is that they are not cheap! I have a really hard time spending that much money on something that takes 15 minutes to read, and then you can't wait for the next issue to come out. They are pretty entertaining though. I think it would be kind of fun to go to Comicon in San Diego. That would probably be quite the show!


4. I love, love, love the demolition derby! I have only gone once because no one else will go with me, but I loved it. There is something so exciting about seeing a car from across the arena driving on a collision course at full speed toward another car. What reckless abandon! Too funny!


5. I really dislike french manicure toenails! Gag! To me a french manicure is meant to make your nail bed look longer and more elegant. The last thing I want is long looking toenails. I much prefer fun, bright colors or classic red toenails.


6. I used to be really obsessed with Gone With the Wind. I loved Scarlett and her story. I loved how men adored her and how she was idolized by them. She got whatever she wanted! However, as I have gotten older my perspective has changed a bit. I now see her as a spoiled rotten, selfish brat! When she finally found out what she truly wanted, she had already ruined everything and couldn't have it! I still do love the story though and Rhett makes me weak in the knees! I just don't idolize it like I used to.


7. This may not come as a surprise to anyone at all, but I always dreamed of being an actress. As a little girl I would memorize my favorite movies and reenact them for hours. I love the world of make-believe and I think that is mostly what acting is. I would still really love to be an actress, but I know the lifestyle that involves is not necessarily what I want either. Oh well, a girl still has to have a dream!


8. Another phobia I kind of have is of wind generators. It's really weird. As we were coming out of Spanish Fork canyon this last summer, I totally got the willies from the giant windmills at the mouth of the canyon. They were so huge and looming. Levi thinks I am just afraid of really big things. I think it is just really big things that move! It just creeps me out. They don't bother me from far away, it's just when I get close. (shiver!)


9. I also used to be obsessed with Seth Green! I just really liked him in a lot of his characters and I think he's cute! I know I'm weird, and I don't expect anyone to feel the same as I do, but I like him. My friend Jana even gave me an autographed picture of him for my birthday. I have to admit, I got a little teary eyed! I'm not as bad as I used to be, but I am still a fan. I just think that I am more gaga over Seth Green the actor than Seth Green the person. I don't know him personally so I can't say whether or not he is a good person. But he is really cute in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series!


10. Lastly, I am horrible at correspondence! I am so bad at writing letters! I just talk myself out of doing it. I think of all the things I want to say and get overwhelmed with it all. I feel really bad about it though because I have lost touch with so many great people that I have met through the years. I really need to get better at it! I'm so bad I didn't even write to my own little brother on his mission! I am definitely ashamed of that. So, to anyone who I have lost contact with over the years, it is nothing personal. I promise! I just really suck at writing and sending letters. I still love you!


Well, that pretty much sums it up! I don't know if there are even 7 people that read this blog, but I tag Sarah, Katie, Jana, Karlie, Kacie, Jenny P., and Jackie! Good Luck!

Awesome! Thanks for doing that! I didn't know the windmill thing, but now that you say that I can totlly see why you would be creeped out. It makes sense in a weird sort of way.
