29 + 3 (Very Nearly...)

1. I drink excessive amounts of tea - seriously, there are days that go by when the only liquid I drink is tea in some form or another (cold or hot).
2. I root for the Baltimore Ravens, the Baltimore Orioles, the Washington Caps, the Maryland Terps and Phil Mickelson.  I know next to nothing else about any teams that aren't on this list (and sometimes, I miss a few things about the ones that are on this list.)
3.  I hate having people look at me.  I'd much rather fly under the radar than milk the limelight.
4. I have an eye for design (graphics, typography, slides, etc.)  I'm not saying I'm fantastic at creating them, but I know what looks good and what looks truly awful.
5. I'm a complete and utter fangirl when it comes to Supernatural, Sherlock and Doctor Who.  I'm comfortable being a geek.  It's fun and it makes me feel like part of community.
6. I've figured out the sheer awesomeness of Twitter but managed to completely lose the thread on Tumblr. (Seriously, can someone please explain to me what it's all about?)
7. I'm not nearly as brave as I'd like to be.
8.  I attend church regularly, even though the Catholic church and I majorly disagree on some huge issues.
9. I've sort of found my own style when it comes to clothes.  I'm happy with my wardrobe - but Pinterest does help quite a bit.
10.  However, I haven't quite found my crafty style yet.  I go all over the place and mix all sorts of creativity together.
11. I really want to live somewhere new, but I'm scared to death to try.
12. I understand a lot more than I let on.  It's easier to make the other person think they're smarter than starting arguments.
13. I've been trying to be more responsible with everyday girly things - like washing my face before I go to bed and brushing my teeth twice a day (instead of only once), or actually getting my hair cut on a regular basis rather than whenever it's gotten too annoying.
14. I've never had a pedicure or a manicure.
15. My celebrity crush is someone most people have never heard of - Jensen Ackles - but boy oh boy, is he dreamy!
16. I can quote Friends in a heartbeat and rattle off character back story from The West Wing, but I've never seen classic movies like Star Wars or Casablanca.  In other words, my entertainment knowledge, is just a bit skewed.
17. I'm not so great at the cooking, but much better at the baking.
18.  I am always, always cold.
19. I still have no idea what I want to be when I grow up...
20. But I'm getting closer to figuring that out because I'm extremely happy where I am now and with what I'm doing.  And for a change, I'm really good at it.
21. I'm a hopeless reader yet I guarantee, I'll never get to all the books I want to read.  I'm not even sure I'll ever get to all the books on my shelf currently.
22. I manage to get lost going to places I've been millions of times, but drop me down in the middle of a foreign country and suddenly I'm awesome at plotting the course.
23.  I hate carbonated substances including any and all soda, beer and wine.  The bubbles make my tongue feel funny.
24. I feel completely comfortable in England, in a way I've never really felt here in the States before.  The Brits are my people.
25. I've only been to a measly 15 states in the US.  That's pathetic.
26. I've gone on a few dates this year, but I'm still hopelessly romantic.  Basically, there were no violins, no love at first sight and no romantic strolls along the Thames, so there were no real sparks.  But at least I'm trying, sort of...
27. For 3 months out of the year, I live in flip-flops and for the other 9 I live in boots.
28. I'm a huge fan of all things chevron and polka-dot.
29. I'm socially awkward and I wish I could change that.  But it's not like a light bulb you turn on and off.  It's just me.
30. I worry about everything at all hours of the day.
31. I re-read emails at least twice just to be sure I'm not embarrassing myself and that something that I'm joking about couldn't be taken seriously.
32. When I crave food, it's always something sweet and it's most always chocolate.  As long as there's chocolate in the world, I'll be a happy camper.
