01. In fourth grade I told everyone I was allergic to Cheetos so they would stop offering me some.

02. I’m not allergic to Cheetos, I just don’t like the cheese on them.

03. The only thing I’m allergic to is Red Dye #40,

12. I have one dog named Tuxedo and a cat I share custody with named Lulu (she doesn’t like me).

13. I stole this idea from Meli.

14. I’m obsessed with books. It’s not like a “hey look, a book!” obsession, it’s more like a “OMFG A BOOK I MUST HAVE IT” obsession.

15. I’m an INFP external link. (And I wish that I didn’t label myself like this even though it seems completely true to me.)

16. I could eat eight times my weight in pistachio pudding. (That’s a LOT of pudding… actually, I probably couldn’t do this. METAPHORICALLY, I could eat eight times my weight in pistachio pudding… whatever the hell that means.)

17. I’ve read every young adult novel Judy Blume has published.

21. I used to leave offerings of shiny bottle caps, coins, and fruit in the forest to see if fairies would take it.

22. I love four wheeling.

23. I always know when it’s going to rain before it does. I am never wrong about this.

24. I secretly have boxes for each of my friends in a secret place. I keep movie stubs, fliers, letters, and other small things in them from times that we’re together. I don’t know why I do this. I keep a lot of stuff because I want to remember good or meaningful memories.

25. I play the game and you just lost.

26. The only reason I don’t or won’t or wouldn’t excessively drink is because I hate (above all other things) throwing up I don’t believe one should consume anything that inhibits their mind.

27. Banana split ice cream rocks my world.

28. Although blue is my favourite colour I feel like there are billions of other colours that I can’t see and one of those is my true favourite colour. Also, green is my favourite colour.

29. I believe in God, the Universe, and finding meaning.

30. I named my car Bellatrix after Bellatrix Black from Harry Potter. I don’t have a car.

31. I was faking sick to get out of class on September 11, 2001. A year later, I realized how horrible that was.

32. I love, love, love the beach.

33. When my grandmother got her cat my whole family believed it was (honest to God) possessed by the devil.

34. I used to want to be a Mangaka.

35. I don’t have any memories of my father even though the last time I saw him I was fourteen.

36. I hate sports. I hate people who play sports. I hate people who watch sports. (I think that’s from John Green.)

37. I own an ungodly amount of giant earrings.

38. After two years of not going to our local library all of the librarians still remember me (even though I dyed my hair.)

45. I have a giant collection of Christopher Pike books.

46. I want to grow up and be a successful film someone.

47. I’m a vegetarian and I’ve been one for 3 years.

48. When I was 11 or 12 I was deathly afraid of tornadoes so I emailed Bill Nye the Science Guy. A week later he responded with a “check your local library about tornadoes”. Well, that pissed me off because I specifically told him I already had. So I sent him a rude email.

49. The show Ghostwriter shaped everything about who I am today. (Not really, but it was a cool show.)

50. I’m the only child in my whole family.
