Picture Challenge

Found this on someone's Facebook... Thought I'd give it a whirl, cause it sounds like fun, and I need something to: (a) look forward to and (b) keep my mind off things I should not be pursuing. Forgive me my vanity.

Here we go...

Day 01 - A picture of yourself with fifteen facts.
Hmm... 15 facts?
   1. I like cheese. A great deal.
   2. I had a hamster when I was growing up that I made a big deal about when it died, but I kinda just wanted it to die the whole time it was alive, cause I hated having to take care of it.
   3. I spent the majority of tonight's rehearsal acting like a 15-year-old.
   4. I have a strong sense of nostalgia. Sometimes it makes me think I've already lived other lives.
   5. I would really like to eat some pancakes right now. This is a fairly regular occurrence.
   6. I like the above picture of me a lot. It captures my love of sugar, my love of comfortable clothing, and my love of being entertaining all in one shot.
   7. I'm really nervous about starting my first Creative Writing assignment. REAAAALLLLY NERVOUS.
   8. I love to love.
   9. I am tremendously selfish, self-serving, self-interested, and self-oriented. That being said, I'm also horrendously self-critical.
  10. Right now what I want more than anything in the world is to be having tea in England with a good book and...
  11. When I was 11, I wanted to be the queen of England. I didn't understand the whole birth right bit.
  12. Playing Peter in Romeo and Juliet has put me in touch with a new level of stress I didn't know I was capable of.
  13. I wish I could sing really well. I never know whether I sing alright or not, because no one cringes when I do it (except my nasty brothers), but no one gives me extraordinarily believable compliments either.
  14. I hope to have children someday. With interesting names. Nothing like my middle name, which I can't stand.
  15. One day I will die (which I'm fine with) and grow old (which I'm not so fine with.) Not in that order, of course.

Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been close with for the longest.
This is my bro. I'd add my second brother on here, too, of course, but I technically knew this one first, since he's older.


Day 03 - A picture of the cast from your favorite show.


 I'm not a TV person. So this is my take on "favorite cast." Spring's was one of my favorite memories.

Day 04 - A picture of your night.


Day 05 - A picture of your favorite memory.

I met so many of the best friends I ever had on that trip... They got me through some tough times, and even though I'm only close with 2 or 3 of them anymore, the memories they gave me in D.C. were priceless.

Day 06 - A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day.

 She's so cute, and I love most everything she does.

Day 07 - A picture of your most treasured item.

Day 10 - A picture of the person you do the most messed up things with.
The gummy bear orgy has to be one of the most messed up things I remember doing with this lovely lady.

Day 11 - A picture of something you hate.
 I hate hate. And humiliation.

I can't say I think it's perfect, or that I'm always 100% happy with it, but I totally love my body.

Day 13 - A picture of your favorite band or artist.

I searched around for the perfect Elvis picture and landed on this one. He's definitely been my longest favorite.

Literally wouldn't have my life without these two.

 Sometimes my nose drives me crazy.

Day 25 - A picture of your day.
I wish I could say this was the majority of my day, but it was really just a slice (no pun intended) of it. K made me the most delicious pancake with fresh avocado, ginger syrup, lemon juice and just a touch of salt. MMMMMMMMMMMM.

When I come back to my room and I just get to sleep.
