A friend of mine recently posted 20 things about herself on her blog and inspired me to do so as well. It makes it more personal and I always enjoy learning about the writers of things I read. So here goes, 20 things about me that you may not know.
1) I’ve always wanted to learn Inupiaq but I’ve always been too embarrassed to do so
2) I like films in general but I love horror, creature-feature and sci-fi films, including psychological thrillers
3) I no longer eat beef, poultry (including eggs), pork, store-bought fish, or dairy
4) On that note, I do eat ANYTHING that is traditional Inupiaq food. More on this decision later
5) I prefer to eat things by size and color: smallest to largest, lightest to darkest. Why I do this I don’t know but it seems to provide some sort of comfort
6) I had buck teeth as a child
7) Although I live in Alaska, I have never seen Denali (Mt. McKinley) up close and personal
8) I have recently become infatuated with Stephen Hawking and his genius mind
9) I would love to be a cosmologist but I’m sure my non-genious mind couldn’t hack it
10) Of all my parents and siblings, I am the only one who originates from my mom and dad, thus making me the original, the one-and-only. That’s how I like to see it anyway
11) I lived in France for 8 months, teaching English to middle-school students

12) French people were initially cold towards the American student but warmed up immediately once they found out the American student was actually from Alaska. “Oh, l’Alaska!” they would exclaim and would then ask a bunch of questions
13) I didn’t enjoy the teaching so much but overall the experience was amazing
14) While living in France, I had the opportunity to travel to Morocco during spring break
15) While in Morocco, I was called “la Chinoise,” which means Chinese in French. They thought I was Asian

16) “What came before time, space and the universe as we know it?” are things I think about, often
17) If the universe is expanding, what is it expanding into?
18) I prefer not to kill bugs unless I really have to
19) I think music has the ability to change one’s life
