101 Things About Me.

1. A majority of people I know call me Cupcake, and most of them can't remember my real name.

2.I tend to lick things that get too close to my face. I really only lick one person's face. Needless to say, my friend Grace refuses to hug me.

3. I will only listen to Christmas music after Thanksgiving. My manager thinks I'm crazy. I will occasionally listen to Baby, Its Cold Outside (sung by Rufus Wainwright) through the entire year. It's my favorite.

4. I love pie. Any pie except blueberry.

5. I don't like blueberries- unless they're in muffin form.

6. I have anxiety about driving. Especially if we're any where near a concrete median.

7. When I first started counting, I told my parents I could count to one hundred and ten, but they told me that the number didn't exist. I believed them until I entered fourth grade.

8. My entire being is made of sass.

9. I'm also made of sarcasm.

10. I'm pretty sure coffee (and other caffeinated beverages) run through my veins instead of blood. I'm not even sorry.

11. I love beanies. Some days I probably look like a druggie when I wear them, but that hasn't stopped me yet.

12. According to one of my best friends I'm "freaking beautiful, but I don't believe it". Well, I have some good days. Other days I look like a drug addict in a Hufflepuff beanie.

13. My friends and I decided I was the human embodiment of Megara from Disney's Hercules. I don't object.

14. I love books. I love the smell of new books. I could probably tell you anything you wanted to know about the entirety of the Percy Jackson series, spout off facts about Harry Potter, or be found sobbing over a copy of The Fault in Our Stars. I really like books.

15. The zombie apocalypse will happen, and I'm ready for it. The Walking Dead's facebook page posted a huge spoiler about Sunday night's episode before I could even watch it. words could not describe my anger.

16. My friend Emmi (the same from number 12) believes I'm spontaneous.

17. Food is love. Food is life. I. Love. Food. I enjoy cooking as well.

18. Long story short, my friends ended up dubbing me with the title of Theatre Satan. I'm still not really sure how- or why.

19. I have moments when I'm loud, but most of the time I can be pretty quiet. And no, nothing's wrong when that happens.

20. I'm very actively involved in theatre. Stage hand, makeup artist, usher, costumes, stage manager, and currently the Assistant Director for Peter Pan Jr.

21. My favorite Shakespeare play is Much Ado About Nothing- which happens to be our advanced acting one-act, and I hope I nail the audition today.

22. Music is kind of my life. I've gone through way too many headphones simply because I use them everyday. I'm not me without music.

23. I love acapella music. The Pentatonix are probably my favorite acapella group.

24. My mom gave me the first ring she ever bought herself to my as (part of) my 17th birthday present this past summer. I wear it everyday of my left ring finger.

25. I currently have three marks on the back of my right hand from burning (or scratching) it on the popper at work.

26. The first job I applied to was at the Palace. I've been working there for about 2 and a half months. I was also the only application I've ever filled out.

27. My mom and I are both avid Disney fans.

28. I love my mother, but lately we've been bumping heads a lot.

29. I love the look of practically anything and everything vintage.

31. I've worked on cars before, and I actually really enjoyed it.

32. I've ridden- as well as driven- a motorcycle. I loved it.

33. I may have a slight adrenaline problem. I am in love with things that make my heart race.

34. I enjoy scary movies.

35. Recently, I've gone to the movies by myself. It wasn't actually that bad.

36. Some days I feel like I have ADHD. I get distracted way too easily, and sometimes I loathe sitting still in one place.

37. One of the only times I don't mind sitting still is when I'm on a road trip.

38. I prefer traveling by car if possible. Turbulence is so not my friend.

39. I could only eat eggs with ketchup as a child. I'm still not a fan of eating them.

40. I have the most ridiculous case of wanderlust, and I love it.

41. When I was younger, we moved a lot around Springfield, and mom told me we had gypsy blood. I strongly believe that it's a very real thing. I quite enjoy my gypsy blood.

43. Never broken a bone, or twisted anything. Never been admitted to a hospital, either.

45. I firmly believe family isn’t just blood.

46. I have a few close friends, but only one that achieves best friend status.

57. Typically, I don’t like people.

58. I hate doing dishes- especially at work. I had to do dishes at home by hand for two years straight since our dishwasher was broken, and our landlord was a jerk.

59. On the last day of school my junior year of High School, I wore a pink lace dress. I utterly shocked multiple people in my advanced acting class. They’ve never seen me in a dress, or in a color that was so girly.

60. Tech people have to wear all black during performances. I have a large amount of black clothing items.

61. I gave my best friend- she’s more so my sister- the nick name of Vanilla. I added I.C.E. to her contact name for emergencies. I’ve debated putting Ice, Ice, Baby as her ringtone.

62. I enjoy almost any pun, as long as they’re witty.

63. Shakespearian curses are amongst my favorite things.

64. I hate seeing the frame of my glasses while I’m wearing them, so I had to get the ‘Hipster’ glasses to avoid seeing the frame.

65. In middle school, I was one of those people that were obsessed with Twilight. Thank God I outgrew that phase.

66. Speaking of middle school, I had knee-high converse with comic book designs on them. I loved them and wore them all the time- even with shorts. I tend to block out that period of my life.

67. I’m attempting to plan out my first tattoo. I already have the following ten figured out.

69. I love oversized sweatshirts.

70. My mission in life is to own a pair of converse in every color. I’m slowly getting there.

79. Beef lo mein is probably my favorite food for dinner. Or maybe tater tot casserole…

92. I love my long hair, but I’ve debated cutting it short on multiple occasions.

93. I’ve recently found out that the only tea I will- or can- drink is sweet tea. I’m too southern for anything else.

95. Some night I can’t sleep. I’ve stayed up till three or four a.m. drawing or cleaning my room.

  1. Don't be terrified of your future...it may be blurry at this point but I do see it as bright and creative. I can see why you avoid watching the news--I often do as well for the very same reason--and I have that gypsy blood like you do also. I like what you said about being quiet and people asking you what's wrong--I know just what you mean. I also can relate to your love of sweet tea and being overwhelmed by my thoughts if I'm left alone with them for too long. I hope you get your leather jacket and that you write your book and find all sorts of happiness and opportunity. I will say I've regretted it any time I acted on the whim to cut my hair short, but hey...follow your heart, Cupcake.
