21 Things- Thing 3

3. I hate the word moist.

And moist things in general like when you walk in the bathroom and the rugs are still wet from when someone took a shower eek! As a kid I had this weird habit of drying out my cups (if they had just been washed) even when I was about to pour drink in there. I got older and I kind of got over it but still moist grosses me out.

So every time I do hear the word moist it makes me think of this! (click on 1:16 to get right to it)

*I'll have some photos things soon I just have to scan them at the grandparents house*

21 Things- Thing 2

This thing isn't new to any of my friends who hang out with me. I know everyone goes through a music phase, I've had my share with Good Charlotte when I was 13. This isn't a phase and I sure don't really fit the stereotype but:

2. I'm a nice girl who likes punk music.

It's not just punk either but ska, rock'n roll, riot grrrl, and indie. So here are a few of my instant replay songs!

This isn't all my favorites but I didn't want to take up my whole webpage with favorites lol.

21 Things- Thing 1

It's 21 days until I turn 21 and I thought I'd try this out. I got the idea from ♥elyica who did something similar on her blog and I thought it'd be something neat to do. Here it goes...

1. I'm left handed 

 I do everything with my left hand except when using scissors. It's a tough world for us left handed people and I've actually only met a handful. I know there were probably more in my classes they just never noticed me and got excited and gave me a high five (happens more than you think we lefties are united!). There are things I wish I could do better like writing neatly on chalk/maker boards and not having pencil smears on my paper but all in all I love that I'm left handed. They say left handed people use the right side of their brain more which I definitively do. Being left handed isn't really being "different" but being exactly who I am.
