I feel so special. \ud83d\ude42 But now I need to think of some &#8220;interesting&#8221; and random things about myself. Hmmmm&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Well, I will do my best to put some random things here that I haven&#8217;t discussed too much on my blog. Some may be familiar to you, but hopefully there will be a couple things that you don&#8217;t know about me.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>I am scared of bears. I used to have nightmares about bears on a regular basis. The scenarios were often the same; herds of bears roaming my neighborhood and breaking into houses. They were always either grizzly bears or polar bears. Thankfully I do not have these scary dreams as frequently as I used to, but I still worry sometimes when we are hiking or camping up in the mountains.<\/li>\n<li>I love my laptop and wireless connection. I can be online anywhere in the house. I am in the bathroom right now. I know, eww&#8230;gross, right?<\/li>\n<li>I have only had stitches three times in my life. Once when I got my wisdom teeth out, once immediately after Adrianna was born, and once after I had surgery for several umbilical hernias (from labor).<\/li>\n<li>I dislocated my knee while singing, only 10 minutes before leaving for my highschool graduation. After a hospital trip and a lot of morphine later, I made it to graduation. I hobbled down the aisle with a big brace on my leg and was still able to sing my songs that I was scheduled to perform. I wasn&#8217;t nervous at all, thanks to the morphine. I don&#8217;t remember much of the ceremony. I do remember being sad that I couldn&#8217;t dance at the square dance that was held afterwards. (Hey, square dances are fun! My favorite is the <a target=\"_blank\" title=\"Virginia Reel\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Virginia_Reel_(dance)\">Virginia Reel<\/a>. And this WAS Wyoming after all.)<\/li>\n<li>I turn 30 this year. That makes me feel old.<\/li>\n<li>I dated two cowboys, two policemen, and one &#8220;Musselman&#8221; before finding the love of my life, a musician. <\/li>\n<li>When I am in my car alone, I like to sing my heart out. Sometimes I pretend I am on American Idol. (But I know I could never actually BE on American Idol because I am too uncoordinated and am not a good dancer AT ALL.)<\/li>\n<li>Greg thinks I have a crush on <a title=\"Ewan McGregor\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/name\/nm0000191\/\">Ewan McGregor<\/a>, <a title=\"Colin Firth\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/name\/nm0000147\/\">Colin Firth<\/a>, or <a title=\"Chris Thile\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chris_Thile\">Chris Thile<\/a> (of <a title=\"Nickel Creek\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nickelcreek.com\/\">Nickel Creek<\/a>). I don&#8217;t really of course, but I really do like Ewan in <a title=\"The Island\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/title\/tt0399201\/\">The Island<\/a> and his singing in <a title=\"Moulin Rouge\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/title\/tt0203009\/\">Moulin Rouge<\/a>, I like Colin Firth in <a title=\"Pride &#038; Prejudice\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/title\/tt0112130\/\">Pride &#038; Prejudice<\/a> (and his British accent), and I have never seen anyone make playing the mandolin look so cool and rock out like Chris Thile.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>So now it&#8217;s my turn to tag I guess.
