I’ve been
seeing something on Facebook quite a bit lately where people post a status with
a list of things their friends may not know about them. Instead of doing it
there, I figured it would be fun to do it here and let you guys get to know me
a bit better. The way they do it on Facebook is assign a number to people that
like their status. I’ve decided on the number twenty-five, which I think will
allow you, my lovely readers, to get to know me pretty well, but still allow
that tiny bit of mystery. So, here it goes:
1. My first
and middle name together, Pésla Sahiela {Pay-shla Sha-hee-ayla}, means
“thick-haired warrior.”
2. I’m the oldest of five children. (That includes me [26], my sister [22], brother [19], and two half-brothers [17 and 11.)
3. I have
pretty bad anxiety, which sometimes holds be back from doing things that I want
to do. (I may do a separate blog post on that if people are interested)
4. I’m half
Puerto Rican (on my Dad’s side), but I don’t speak Spanish.
5. I’m
terrified of flying.
6. I’m not a
very good swimmer. I do alright under water, but I can’t swim above for some
reason.
7. I have
the worst buyer’s remorse, so much so that I’ve gotten to the point where I
feel it even before I purchase something. Sometimes I will walk around the
store with something in my hands and at the last minute put it back, then I
usually end up regretting my decision and ordering it off of the website later.
Can you imagine how frustrated the Mister gets while shopping with me?
8. I’m a
massive Harry Potter, Doctor Who, and Star Trek fan (Picard FTW!!)
9. I get
really into vlogs on YouTube, so much so that I start to feel as though I
actually know the people and get emotional when good/bad things happen to them
(get hurt, have a baby, etc.)
10. I’ve
actually wanted to start a blog for a few years, but I was far too nervous to
do it. This course has pushed me to finally do it, and I’m absolutely loving
it.
11. I love
all things beauty and makeup related, and watch a lot of tutorials and reviews
on YouTube so I can always be trying new things.
12. I’m a
list person. I make lists for everything. My problem is, I almost never follow
that list. Silly me.
13. I
thought my husband (Chris) was cute when he first came to my school, but was
discouraged once he started hanging out with people I didn’t fit in with. I had
a friend tell him I thought he was cute once, and he responded with “She’s
weird.” It turns out, that was a compliment and my friend relayed the message
back to me incorrectly. Chris actually thought I was cute and thought about
“chatting me up” in High School, but he had a girlfriend at the time. Now,
ten-ish years later, we’re married. = D
14. I can’t
cook…Trying to put together a good meal makes me nervous. Chris is the chef in
this relationship, but I really would like to learn.
15. My
husband truly is my best friend.
16. I
secretly (not so secretly anymore) want to become a couponer, but I’m afraid I
will take it too far and become a crazy coupon lady.
17. I really
don’t like talking on the phone, mainly because it makes me uncomfortable (I’m
not a small talk type of person.) Texting was invented for people like me.
18. I’m really
bad at small talk. (Another reason I dislike phone conversations.)
19. Within
the past few years I have fallen in love with sci-fi literature, my most
favorite so far being Ender’s Game.
20. My favorite
book of all time is The Rum Diary. ( I have yet to see the movie even though I own
it and am a huge Johnny Depp fan.)
21. Movies
based on books scare me. I was very surprised by how much I loved the Harry
Potter films because I am never happy with film adaptations.
22. I love
horror movies. It gives me a type of nervousness and anxiety that gives me a
rush and counteracts my normal everyday anxiety. I know that probably seems
weird, but oh well.
23. I talk A
LOT!! Sometimes I talk so much that I get ahead of myself and can’t complete my
sentences fast enough to keep up with what I’m thinking about saying next.
24. When I
find something that I really like, I want to do it all the time. I’m hoping
that happens with a career.
25. I love
reading, but I will put off reading a new book for a long time because I hate
when they end and that adventure is over.
Woo, that was fun!! I hope you enjoyed learning a bit about me.
Stay Tuned for some fun projects withing the next week...I have most of my supplies so I shall be starting some Christmas crafts/gifts. Are you getting excited for Christmas? I'm not really there yet, but I'm hoping some gift crafting will get me in the spirit.
