Inspired by Kristarella’s 100 Things, I thought I’d share my own list! Just a little fun during the holidays. Merry Christmas!

1. I have belonged to Jesus since I was about 4 years old. My mom led me to Him.
2. Proverbs 16:3 is my favorite Bible verse: “Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.”
3. And Proverbs 16:9 is my second favorite: “In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps.” It’s so comforting to know He is always in control.
4. I was born on October 3, 1983.
5. I am an only child.
6. I can almost always remember how old I was when certain things happen because I remember what grade in school I was in. Each time I graduated a grade, the calendar year corresponded with it. So…
7. I graduated elementary school (6th grade) in 1996.
8. I graduated high school (12th grade) in 2002.
9. Four years later, I graduated college with a Bachelor of Science degree in Multimedia Design Technology. Sounds fancy yet vague, doesn’t it?
10. I was told I had to give a speech at my college graduation 2 hours before the ceremony. I’m sure everyone loved my 30 second speech!
11. I played the tenor saxophone and clarinet when I was in school (for over 10 years combined).
12. I was married on February 24, 2006 in Laguna Beach, CA
13. I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon and it was wonderful! I can’t wait to go back.
14. I’ve been a certified SCUBA diver since 2002.
15. I love backpacking.
16. I’m a natural blonde.
17. In college my hair was so long it used to get caught in my pants.
18. I like eating frozen corn. Like when it’s still frozen.
19. My favorite food is garlic.
20. My favorite colors are silver, red and purple.
21. I like white gold better than yellow gold.
22. I used to play DnD, and I would still if one friend didn’t ruin everything. My elven sorceress was named Drianna.
23. I cook dinner almost every night (this is rare, at least in So Cal).
24. I like drinking water. I drink at least 1.5 liters/day.
25. I’ve become somewhat of a water connoisseur; I’m picky about my water. I don’t like tap water, only filtered. If it has to be tap, make it iced, otherwise it’s yucky.
26. I like playing video games (PC, not console), especially RP/adventure games. MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games) are fun too.
27. Adventure/Sci-Fi movies are my favorite. Lord of the Rings trilogy, LXG, Harry Potter and Serenity are at the top of the list.
28. I like romantic movies, but not the sappy ones, and I’m blessed to have a husband that is in the mood to watch them with me every once in a while. Movies like: Ever After, Princess Bride and Moulin Rouge (Baz Lurhman version).
29. I hate the horror genre (books or movies). I don’t like things popping out of places and I don’t like blood and gore.
30. I do like psychological thrillers like The Game and The Village.
31. I liked watching the original Twilight Zone marathons on Thanksgiving with my mom when I was little. Now she owns all the episodes on DVD and we still watch them together.
32. I liked the new Outer Limits. I wish that show was still on.
33. I don’t have an antenna for my TV, so the only shows we watch are ones that we record on my parents’ DVR. Currently we record Stargate Atlantis and Heroes.
34. Mysteries are my favorite types of books. I’m especially fond of Sherlock Holmes, Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot.
35. Although I don’t do it much any more, I like bellydancing and have performed on stage a couple times.
36. My favorite authors are Michael Crichton, Ted Dekker, Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
37. In high school I played volleyball (middle back). The only reason I was on the varsity team my senior year is because the coach felt bad that I was one of only two seniors on JV (she let the other girl be on varsity, too). I saw about 5 minutes of court time the whole season.
38. The only bone I’ve ever broken is a little sliver off my pinky finger on my right hand (talking about it makes it ache!). I was warming up for volleyball practice and a ball bounced up and jammed my finger.
39. I like going to cultural events.
40. I always try to see Cirque du Soleil, Phantom of the Opera and Lion King when they are in town.
41. I will always be a StarTrek TNG fan.
42. I love Firefly and Serenity. I hope they make more!!
43. I like Stargate (the movie, SG-1 and Atlantis)
44. I play airsoft. I have a P90 (just like SG-1!)
45. I’ve fired a real gun before, too. It was scary.
46. I can speak a few words in Sindarin (Elvish). Suilad Mellonamin!
47. My favorite subjects in school were math (Geometry, Trigonometry, Algebra and Statistics) and Spanish.
48. I took 5 years of Spanish in school, but I haven’t practiced it since.
49. Before I switched to graphic design, I was a psychology and Spanish major. Then I transfered to a little no-name school and became a graphic designer.
50. I have a bad habit of cracking my neck and knuckles.
51. My favorite drink is either a Kahlua Mudslide or a Midori Sour.
52. I hate beer. It’s yucky.
53. I do like mead, though! Room temperature, please.
54. My favorite flower is the Stargazer Lily. I really like orchids, too.
55. I like movie and stories in the fantasy/adventure genre, like Lord of the Rings, LXG and Under World.
56. I like swing and bellydancing music. I also like the occasional Weird Al song.
57. I’m too sentimental to throw out things like movie and theater ticket stubs, cards and brochures from museums I’ve visited with my husband. I keep them in my scrapbooks.
58. I love scrapbooking, though I never have enough time to do it.
59. I have two kitties. A little black one we call Lady Arabelle, and an orange tabby, Sir Kingsley.
60. I like the Harry Potter books.
61. Yoga is the best!
62. I like pumpkin flavored stuff, like fudge, shakes, etc.
63. I’m a jeans, t-shirt and no makeup girl
64. I like learning new things.
65. My eyes change color depending on the ambient light, what I’m wearing and how I feel. My husband says they are opal eyes.
66. I’m 5’5” tall.
67. I wish I were a better photographer, but I just don’t take the time to learn more about it.
68. The two things I’d like to improve in my design work are typography and use of color.
69. I used to hate wearing red, then I became a lifeguard. Now I love red!
70. I was a lifeguard for 2 years at a local YMCA.
71. My first full time job (with the Girl Scouts) was just a couple blocks down the street from that YMCA.
72. I like wearing dark colors, but I look good in light colors, too.
73. I think I have arachnophobia.
74. I like playing board games. Among my favorites are Arkham Horror (based on the Cthullu mythos) and Fury of Dracula.
75. I like card games, too. My favorites are Mag Blast (though this is the third edition and we have the first) and Munchkin.
76. Coke is SO better than Pepsi.
77. I am a mutt. I’ve got a bit of German (Heinz), some Irish (McHattie) and some English (Andersen) among tons of others that I don’t know about. I don’t even know where my maiden name Sandusky comes from (the “sky” spelling is unusual I think. Usually it’s “ski”)
78. I LOVE CHOCOLATE!!
79. Until recently, I didn’t like dark chocolate. I like it now.
80. I will always be a Disney fan. I grew up watching The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King (The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Atlantis and Hercules do NOT exist)
81. Despite my love for Disney and Coca Cola, I know that they, along with Verizon, Wal*mart and Google are bent on taking over the world.
82. I like to go to bed by 10:30.
83. I hate waking up at 6:00 every morning.
84. I love coffee. I cannot wake up without it.
85. I don’t eat anything that used to live in water. Yes, that includes shrimp, scallops, tuna and all those other common seafood items. Most of the time I gag just seeing or smelling them and I have to hold my breath when walking by the butcher’s case at the grocery store.
86. I was totally in love with Jonathan Taylor Thomas when I was in sixth grade.
87. I went on a mission trip to Antigua, Guatemala in 2001. It was one of the most life-changing 10 days I’ve ever experienced. It’s made me forever thankful for all that we have here in the U.S.
88. I wish I were a better artist. I admire people who can create beautiful compositions and surreal scapes.
89. I don’t do text messaging (and my thumbs probably thank me for it!).
90. I bite my nails. I hate this habit.
91. One of my family’s Christmas traditions is to start opening presents early. It depends on how many presents there are, bt we usually start a week before Christmas. We open one present a day so that we get to enjoy them and not be overwhelmed by all the goodies on Christmas morning.
92. I like making To Do lists.
93. My husband does not like me making To Do lists because he usually gets one.
94. The strangest thing I’ve ever eaten is frog legs. They didn’t taste bad, but they nearly came back up anyway.
95. My favorite books we had to read in high school were Lord of the Flies, The Good Earth and A Tale of Two Cities.
96. In elementary school I thought it would be cool to have a retainer. I never got one.
97. I never had braces and I’ve never had cavities (only two preventative fills—there was no actual cavity). The hygienist and dentist always comment about my perfect teeth.
98. The only surgery I’ve ever had was to remove my wisdom teeth. I had chipmunk cheeks for a week!
99. I like getting cards (with nice things written about me) better than presents.
100. People with a weak personality annoy me.
101. I love stationary and handmade cards. If I could go into one area of graphic design, money notwithstanding, I would design handmade cards.
102. I would love to try using a letterpress some day.
103. I like Burt’s Bees lip balm.
