20 Things About Me

Aloha everyone :)

1. My ambition in life isn't to make a ton of money, or to have the nicest clothing on the market, or have my name be known . . . It's simply to be happy. No matter what I'm doing, where I'm going, I just want to be happy and satisfied with the choices I make for myself and my family.

2. It's almost sick how much I love triscuit crackers.

3. I got pregnant with my son at the age of 18 whilst in university. I was in the top 3% of my whole degree program, I had an amazing opportunity to do my practicum with the John Howard Society at the local prison, I had my own apartment, a job I enjoyed and I was the happiest I had ever been. For the first time in my life I felt like I belonged. I felt at home at the university. Despite all that, I wouldn't change being a mother for the world. I look into my son's beautiful blue eyes and know that everything will work out.

4. I have been in love with my boyfriend since I was 13 years old.

5. I would do anything to live in a place where it was summer all year long.

6. I suffer from an anxiety disorder and I wouldn't wish a panic attack on my worst enemy. When I feel an attack coming on, I tend to find a way to get outdoors and practise breathing. If there's no way for me to get outside, my attacks tend to be worse, because I start feeling like the walls are closing in on me. It really is the worst feeling in the world.

7. I am one of the most reliable people to come to if you have a problem, because I tend to get way too attached to people's issues and go out of my way to make it right. Some say it's one of my down falls that I drop whatever I'm doing to help people in need, but I think that's why I'm going to make a difference in the field that I want to be working in.

8. My weight fluctuates from one extreme to another too often.

9. When I'm nervous, anxious, upset or thinking I chew on the left side of my bottom lip. 

10. My favourites are purple, pink, and yellow.

11. I'm super picky when it comes to the perfumes I wear, because I hate floral scents, which is super odd considering I love receiving flowers. The only "floral" scent that I do really enjoy is the limited edition Eau So Fresh by Marc Jacobs (the summer edition to Daisy).

12. I wish I could pull off Peter Pan collared shirts.

13. I know every single word, of every single episode, in every single season of The OC. That will always be my favourite show in the whole entire world. However, I still hate that Ryan and Taylor dated. Ugh. I don't care what anyone says, him and Marissa were soul mates -_-"

14. Birthdays are my favourite days of the year. My birthday always lands during Stampede week, but my son will still be too young to enjoy Stampede and rodeo, so I plan on taking him to the Zoo for my date of birth. Woooo!

15. I should never purchase Halls Breezers, because I eat them like candy when I'm not even sick. Don't judge me, I know you do it too.

16. Wonderwall by Oasis will be incorporated into my wedding somehow.

17. Everything important that my boyfriend has even given to me hangs on a "memo board" in our bedroom. We've known each other since we were 12 and 13, so there's a few things. Also, everything else that has been important to me throughout my life is in a heart shaped box in my bedroom.

18. I miss Dawson's Creek more than I can express to you.

19. Hot chocolate gives me a terrible tummy ache every single time I drink it, but I still insist on drinking it pretty regularly.

20. I want my son to be happy, healthy and honest with me. I want to have a relationship with him like Rory and Lorelai from Gilmore Girls or like Lucas and Karen from One Tree Hill.
