5 things.

I was tagged by charissa and michelle. The idea is to post 5 random things about yourself.... and hopefully have them be interesting?? lol. I will try...

- I am obsessed with Apples. I have always loved all fruits (how could one not!?) but ever since I was a kid, I have had a loyal love to Apples. I have several photos of me when I was a baby, holding an apple or eating an apple. My mom said I used to live on Apple Juice. To this day, I eat at least three apples a day and I have never ever gotten sick of them. Even talking about them makes my mouth water. To me, they are THE perfect food. I could happily live off of all different sorts of Apples. As of lately, I am enjoying Braeburn but it changes weekly. Last week I was all about Pink Lady's.

- I am very good at keeping myself occupied. I like to think of myself as a social person because I love meeting new people and I am very outgoing when around others and I love talking to people and learning about people, etc. However, I enjoy spending time alone a lot as well. I am perfectly content staying in, curled up with a good book or watching movies all night with my animals. I'm never really bored because I always find a way to entertain myself. Whether it be by dancing around my apartment like a dork or working on a scrapbook, reading fashion magazines, playing around with makeup, I always find something to keep myself occupied and I never feel an intense need to be around a bunch of people. I am not really sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing, I guess it could go either way.... because I do have the tendency to be some-what of a recluse at times and shut myself off from people and other days, I want to socialize.

- I find enjoyment in the smallest things. Truly I do. For instance, one of my favorite things to do (no lie) is to go on amazon.com and look up a new book, search around on various peoples wish lists and click from one book to another, reading reviews and recommendations, etc. I can do this for hours at an end and sometimes I find myself spending more time looking and reading ABOUT books rather than reading THE actual book, lol. My other guilty pleasure is to read a book and then watch the movie based on the book. I literally get all giddy when I am about to see a movie based upon the book that I have just read. It is little things like that which make me happy.

- I have loved Marilyn Monroe since I was around 12 years old. I have grown up with her as my idol and inspiration. Reading about her, learning about her, watching her movies and looking at her pictures, gives me a sense of comfort. I feel very much connected to her in a way that is hard to explain and may sound strange to some people but I feel that she is an angel and the epitome of beauty. My apartment is pretty much filled with Marilyn and every birthday or holiday, I tell people to get me anything Marilyn related. I may be 23 years old and collecting Marilyn memorabilia and to some that may seem strange but I guarantee when I am 60 years old I will be sipping on my tea, watching Some Like It Hot and still loving Marilyn and I wouldn't have it any other way!

- I am terrified of Spiders. I have serious arachnophobia. It started when I was young and I had more than a few bad experiences with spiders and to this day when I see one, I freak out. I am getting better, but I'm not sure the fear will ever go away. Even writing about them right now is giving me the creeps lol. I am also horribly afraid of Freddy Kreugar, as ridiculous as that may sound, I was traumatized after watching Nightmare on Elm Street when I was just 11 years old and ever since then, I have had reoccurring nightmares with him in them and I cannot watch one of the Elm street movies without feeling traumatized all over again. It’s crazy. Lol I just find it extremely terrifying, the thought of someone being able to come into your dreams and kill you. The whole concept is just… very creepy.

I tag: Melinda, Malynda, Darice Michelle, and I have to find some others who have not been tagged yet!!! So anyone else you hasn't been tagged.... well... TAG! lol
