You probably didn't know this, but...

1. I get really into gift-giving. Christmas, birthdays, whatever. I love giving gifts and I hold myself to a very high standard.
2. I love eating leftovers straight out of the fridge for breakfast. Especially Panda Express Chow Mein and Domino's pizza.
3. I have a really hard time making friends. Most people don't know this, but I'm very shy and socially anxious. I overthink everything. I'm also extremely picky about the people I spend time with, which is why I've had my two best friends have been my best friends for 9 years and 7 years, respectively. 
4. Most of my favorite books take place in the South. I'm obsessed. 
5. I talk in my sleep. A lot. 
6. The first time I ever ran a mile without stopping once was this past winter. 
7. I learned how to read when I was three, and I never went to preschool. 
8. I have a very sensitive personal space bubble. I get panicky when I'm around close-talkers or overly-affectionate people. 
9. My aunt calls me Bella. She's the only one who has ever called me that, and I think it's some kind of permutation of "Clarabelle". It has nothing to do with Twilight.
10. I have a weird knack for interpreting dreams. 
11. I mix up my words constantly, especially when I'm excited, saying things like "chipstack" instead of "chapstick" or "It's parkly and spink!" or "aramel cappel pops!"
12. I have a really loud laugh. If you really get me going I will probably cause a scene.
13. This is because I also snort when I laugh.
14. When I was little kid, I really wanted to be an astronaut, and Sally Ride was my hero. Then I realized that I'm really bad at math and space is actually really scary.
15. I get tan really quickly.
16. Jenn, one of my best friends, and I were always obsessed with firefighters in high school and now we're both in serious relationships with young men on the path to becoming firefighters. I swear it wasn't intentional.
17. At least once a day I think about how much I miss my paternal grandpa and how much I wish he could have met Marshall.
18. I will cry at almost any movie, but when it comes to real life, big displays of emotion make me really uncomfortable, and I prefer my crying to be private.
19. I was the runner-up in my school's spelling bee in 4th grade, but upon re-watching the videotape, we found out that there was a mistake and I could have won and gone to the county bee!
20. I'm addicted to chapstick. I have to have some in my pocket at all times.

TMI?
