100 Useless Facts

SO! This is your standard “HEY I’M BORED WHY DON’T I TELL YOU ABOUT MYSELF” page. Maybe it’ll prompt you to talk to me *hint hint nudge nudge* :D 

1. I’m pretty sure my hair can rival Jasmine’s tree trunk. There’s so much of it.

2. Red meat is icky, and so is pork. Except bacon. Bacon is amazing.

4. I survived several semesters of college on wheat thins and pineapple, then pretzels and Naked juice.

5. I have three tattoos.

6. I absolutely adore butterflies.

8. My phone doesn’t know the meaning of the word “off”.

9. If my iPod ever runs out of power, I go through music withdrawal.

11. I also don’t eat yogurt. Similar reason apply.

12. I’m pretty sure it’s in my genetics to cram a ton of information into my head before a test and do really well. Same goes for papers. My mom did it all through school, too.
