Day One: List 20 Random Facts About Yourself
1. I will only use one brand of makeup. Allegedly they test on animals. My friend sends me photos of dead bunnies and I cry.
2. The only time I ever wanted to write poetry was after watching 10 Things I Hate About You. I thought if my person & I ever had some tragic, Shakespearean falling out, I could write something similar and it would open the doors of communication and we’d work it out. But I’m a horrible poet & chances are Heath Ledger would have taken his guitar & run with it.
3. I have a freakish obsession with pancakes.
4. I currently think the Imagine Dragons are the best new band in the history of everything.
5. Nothing can be wrong in the world when Lifehouse is on my stereo.

13. I walked out on a date after 20 minutes because the guy told me he didn’t see the value of higher education.

16. I still listen to boy bands and contend that *N’Sync was far superior to the Backstreet Boys.
