- I generally prefer to read non-fiction than fiction. Sometimes Christian living books, sometimes linguistics books, most recently triathlon training books.
- I rarely drink hot beverages. I don't like coffee or tea, but even hot chocolate doesn't tempt me much: I tend to drink it too quickly and end up burning my tongue every time.
- As nice as back and shoulder massages are, I would almost always prefer a calf massage.
- I really want to adopt, maybe from China. I'd be open to having my own child as well, but I don't really feel the need to actually birth a baby myself.
- I like my feet. I think they're cute.
- I have scoliosis and had to wear a back brace from fourth through eighth grades. I had great posture at the time, but it only shows now when I sit to play piano.
- I seem to develop crushes easily, and apparently always have to like someone. So, if you're a guy, and you're my friend, and you're single, be careful. I'm just sayin'...
- I can't remember the last time I cried.
- I generally always prefer veggies to meat, but I only like meat on my pizza, no veggies, except maybe tomatoes.
- I've never been to Chicago, even though it's the closest big city. Guess I always choose to go to the mountains instead when I have some time (and money) to get away.
- It's been at least 25 years since I've thrown up.
- I seem to feel colder more often now than I did before living in Harbin, China. Crazy: I thought nothing would feel cold after the persistently sub-zero temperatures there.
- Noises bother me, especially loud ones. Like lots of kids screaming, or concerts, or beeping machines that other people don't even notice...
- I think I've changed exactly one diaper in my entire 30 years.
- I love traditions, especially around the holidays. I'm also excited to start some traditions of my own once I have a family, like running on Thanksgiving morning.
- I've never gotten into the habit of flossing every day. That's one of my New Year's resolutions.
- Ironically, 17 is my favorite number. I have no idea why, but I do like that it's prime.
