Twenty-Five Facts

    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.
