Ten Secrects

In an attempt to implement the discipline of blogging back into my life, I'm going to do something one of my friends has been doing lately. It's simple, fun, and expository.

Today is ten secrets. While I don't really keep "secrets", there are definitely things about me that few people know. 

1. I don't take medicine. It's something I've been convicted about  for quite a while. The last time I took any was September of 2009. I won't even take vitamins. It's one of those things few quite understand, but that's okay.

2. When I was little, I was super OCD. I had to do certain things in even numbers (like taking steps, touching things a certain amount of times with each hand). I don't think I've ever actually told anyone about this; this really is/was a secret!

3. I like to make things look pretty. I think that's the girl in me, though. It's why I love whipped cream so much. 

4. I miss playing tennis. I really would like to play again, but I wasn't ever that great at it.... which means that now, I'm probably awful. Which is fine... if someone else wouldn't mind playing with me despite my awfulness. But that's tough to find.

5. I would like to cook more. I really like doing it, and I like making things that are a little out there. I just get the opportunity very often. 

6. Commercials about donating to feed animals really irk me (especially the ones heavily laced with emotion). There are starving CHILDREN in the world, and you want me to donate to your stray animal rescue?! No thank you. 

7. While I appreciate a little bit of alone time, I don't really dig being alone. It doesn't freak me out or anything; I just genuinely like being with people - just not huge groups at once. Smallish groups are good; I thrive one on one (and occasionally one on two).

8. My biggest goal in life is to love well with the love of Christ. If that's all I ever accomplish, I will be a successful human being.

9. If I was always able to get good smoothies and coffee drinks cheaply, I would drink my diet. Yum!

10. I can't wear socks to sleep in, even if it's super cold. I won't make it through the night with them on. And even if they're really thin, something about them seems almost constricting to my feet.
