100 Things You May Not Know About Liz

The last 25:

I hate doctors. They always think they’re so much smarter then me and so much better then the rest of the world. I am sick and tired of doctors telling me that “it’s all in your head” or my personal un-favorite “It’s caused by stress you just need to relax.”

From about 8th grade to my senior year of high school I only ate 1 meal a day and that usually consisted of orange juice/apple juice and maybe a doughnut or a roll. I weighed 135 lbs.

My house is haunted.

I loved working at the ZCMI candy counter.

I am very critical of others because I am so critical of myself.

I once climbed up a tree and the ladder fell down. I was stuck there forever waiting for someone to help me down. I was rescued by an older brother.

The best friend I had growing up pretends she doesn’t know me even though I spent the larger part of my childhood with her up until I went to 7th grade then she was still in elementary school and I was in junior high and apparently we couldn’t be friends anymore.

At girls camp I hated most of the Young Women Leaders and I would rather have drowned in the pond full of leaches instead of playing along with their “Big Hair Day” or waking up at pre-dawn for aerobics. And I wanted them to drown in the pond for the use of their stupid cowbell to wake us up.

One year at girls camp I was having a bad day so I took a nap. Everyone was afraid of waking me up so they waited for the Bishopric to arrive and then made Dean Storey wake me up because they knew I wouldn’t yell at him.

I could eat cinnamon bears and dots till the cows come home, but a handful of gummy bears makes me sick to my stomach.

My birthday is my favorite day of the year.

I spent the majority of my sophomore year in high school hanging out with the marching band, but I didn’t play an instrument. I was a band “mom”.

I love classical music.

I have a “Disgruntled Employee of the Month” sticker on my computer. People at my new job laugh at it. People at my old job knew it as doctrine.

I like listening to church music in my car.

I often think of writing a letter to Richard McGee and asking for my pictures back. He was a fun pen-pal even if he did come home and marry someone else.

I have learned that when a conversation comes full circle it’s time to go home.

I have to have a red lettered alarm clock in my bedroom to keep the ghosts away. Is it really true that ghosts don’t like red?

On my mission I had 4 companions that I absolutely loved but only 2 of them still talk to me.

My husband and I intimidate people. Apparently we’re scary.

My Hot Babe Trifecta includes Ewan McGregor, Gerard Butler, and Johnny Depp.

I have no conscience.

I would rather sleep all day then be at work.

If I could travel to one place in the entire world and have to stay there, I’d go to Hawaii.

The greatest thing I’ve ever learned is just to love and be loved in return.

The Next 25:

Some days I really want a puppy, but I don’t want the dog it would grow into.

I wish I had more desire to keep a journal. I started reading a book called “Creative Journal Writing for Teens” in hopes that it might inspire me.

Coming up with 100 little known facts about me became very hard after about # 38.

I can’t decide if I’m afraid of Ghosts, or if I’m fascinated by them. I love reading about them and yet, after I’m done I can’t sleep with my back to a door or closet. I see them in my house and I’d like to know that I’m not crazy, however I don’t really want to know if they’re really there.

I hate being put on “committees” I hate being in charge of activities and being the creative mind behind it all. I do try to hide this under a bushel because I have never thought I was creative or talented.

There are only 2 people in this world I trust with my real thoughts and feelings.

My favorite band is Hootie and the Blowfish.

I hate school, but I have the horrible feeling that I should go back one day.

My niece is my Mini Me. She looks like me and she acts like me and all this after living in a different state then me for the past 8 years. And to top it all off she adores me. Who could ask for anything more?

I used to read Harlequin Romance Novels all through Junior High.

I still own one.

I sleep with a stuffed animal every night. It is a well loved bear named Spiff and his arm is falling off.

I worry about losing my teddy bears because build-a-bear puts a barcode inside them. Can they scan the barcode through the bear, or are they going to rip him apart to find it?

I hate going back to church after missing a month because all the people in the ward look down on me.

I dream about throwing rocks at the woman who is suing me.

One of my husbands cutest features to me are his eyebrows.

I hope our kids get his eyebrows and not mine.

I have never really “dated” anyone. I had been on dates I even went on 3 dates with my husband. He and I were friends, and then we were married. We were never really Boyfriend/Girlfriend.

I sing to myself in the shower but I have forgotten the words to all the songs I used to know.

My tooth brush is pink.

I used to love to wash dishes, but after having a dishwasher in all my previous apartments I have no desire to do them by hand.

I use my height and my gender to get men to do things for me (doesn’t work so well as a fat girl but I still try).

My favorite movie of the moment is “Moulin Rouge”

My favorite British Comedy is “Keeping Up Appearances”

My favorite TV Show right now is CSI: Las Vegas

The first 50:

I was born January 13th 1979 at 8:56 am, it was a Saturday.

My greatest fear is abandonment.

I can’t put my feet on the floor at movie theaters. Not only do my feet often not reach the floor, but I just hate having my feet on the floor. This isn’t just at movie theater’s either, it’s at home, at work, at church. I literally have to force myself to keep my feet on the floor at other people’s houses and in the car.

I started flirting with my husband when he was a sophomore in high school because I hated his girlfriend and just wanted to make her angry.

My main mode of communication with the opposite sex was flirting. When I got engaged my husband asked me to please stop flirting with everyone, so I did. I now feel as though I can’t or don’t know how to talk to anyone.

I have the annoying habit of starting most statements with the sentence “I was gonna say....”

I gave up the one worldly item I loved more then anything to make my husband happy. Jasper.

When I was in kindergarten I threw up on my desk, but didn’t want to get in trouble so I pushed it off the top into the desk.

When I didn’t want to go to school I used to hide from my mother.

I constantly dream about being in school. Mostly it’s about High School, but often times I dream about the old Kaysville Elementary School.

I often dream that I am trapped in the Kaysville Tabernacle and I can only use the back stairs that go from the basement to the cry room and can never get out of the building.

I love the name Margaret.

I love my knees. They’re cute.

I sleep to avoid reality.

I’m obsessed with cute socks. Preferably ones with kitties on them.

I hate church.

My mother drives me crazy because we are exactly the same.

I have my mom’s feet.

Sometimes I can feel myself getting fatter.

I used to be a size 8.

I’m a horrible friend. I forget birthdays and never call and for the most part I go off of the motto “hurt and alienate” because it hurts less when you’re the one to walk out on a relationship.

I didn’t have a bosom friend until I was 18.

My bosom friend accused me of bringing all bad things into her life and that it was my fault she was depressed and living in her parents basement and then she never spoke to me again.

I hate working. I want to be a stay at home mom. I never wanted a career because that didn’t involve my kids.

Old people and handicapped people frighten me.

I love Haunted Houses, Halloween, and Scary Movies.

I have a skull in my living room.

My favorite pair of shoes are a pair of red Doc Martin Mary Jane’s that I got from Sister Mertz in Annandale, VA.

I think my parents should have taken me to the doctor more as a teenager.

I’m a hypochondriac.

I hate fish. alive, dead or eatable.

I hate other people’s children (nieces and nephews excluded)

I rarely like the people I work with.

The best job I ever had was at Lagoon.

I never actually had a boyfriend in High School, Tom and I just made up stories to make others leave us alone.

The first and only time Tom held my hand was at our Senior Prom. He was wearing a top hat.

The first guy I ever kissed was Ben Baldwin. 11th grade.

The first boy I ever kissed was Benjamin Huddleston. 1st grade.

I dream about Ben Baldwin a lot.

Almost every date I took to dances in High School was a guy who my sister thought was cute.

I’ve always looked up to Keith even though I thought it was his life goal to make me leave the room in tears every time he saw me.

If I were stranded on a desert island all I would want would be shade, and a working refrigerator filled with a never ending supply of cheese cake.

My favorite U2 song is “Bullet the Blue Sky”

My favorite song is: “That’s What Friends Are For” by Dionne Warwick and Friends.

My favorite artist is Vincent Van Gogh.

I love to paint, but I’m no good at it. I once won a blue ribbon for a bunch of brush wiping. Mr. Cushing my high school art teacher offered to let the school buy it, but I felt that it would have been a rip off to post such crap in the Davis High Auditorium that I said no and it now hangs on the bedroom wall at my parents house. I paid a lot for the frame, but the painting itself is worthless.

I can’t read music and I’m tone deaf, but I love to sing. The old ladies at church always tell me I have a beautiful voice.

I loved my senior yearbook picture.

I have always wanted to drive a mini van.

I would love to live in Scotland, but it’s too far away from home.
