25 Fun Facts About Me
So these past few
days (which has felt like forever) I've been stuck with some kind of
stomach bug which has led me to do nothing but sleep and rest. Since I was
already feeling kind of down and out of it I honestly just wasn't in the mood
to dig into my feelings and write a post about them. Instead I thought I would do
something different and share 25 fun facts with you all about myself. I tried
to be positive with my facts but let me tell you, it was really hard for me to
find 25 wholly positive things I wanted to share so I did the best I can. After a while it became easier and eventually I really enjoyed doing it and hope that I can use this to continue viewing myself in a more positive light.
1. I am obsessed
with my cat and think she is the cutest thing in the world. Our favorite game
is hide and seek.
2. My eyes change
colors depending on the weather, my mood, what I'm wearing etc. They can be
yellow, grey, and really green. They have often been compared to cats eyes
which may add to why I'm a cat person.
3. I technically
went to three colleges. I went to Fullerton Community College for a semester
and it wasn't the right fit, so I transferred to Orange Coast College where I
went for two years until I transferred to Chapman University where I completed
my degree.
4. When I was
younger my dream job was to be a dolphin trainer because I am mildly obsessed
with dolphins. Once at SeaWorld I got to feed and pet dolphins during a special
interaction and it was one of the happiest moments of my life.
5. My favorite color
is magenta because my last name is Genta.
6. I am a huge book
nerd. I'm on average reading at least one book about every 3-4 days and am
often reading two at once. My favorite books are currently anything written by
Kate Morton.
7. My first car was a 1988 blue Toyota pickup
truck that got stolen from my high school parking lot during school and was
found about two weeks later. I now drive a Kia Spectra that I love!
8. My favorite show
of all time is Parenthood. I've never watched a show that felt so real and I
could watch it over and over again (which I do).
9. I've never broken
a bone but I have had surgery twice - once for my kidney and the second for
when I tore my Achille's in three places.
10. I don't like
beer or wine, my alcoholic drink of choice is whiskey and coke which is also my
mom's. I was at a formal that had a bar and I didn't know what to order so I
just said jack and coke because I knew that my mom drank it and ended up
enjoying it. My mom drinks it because her mom drank it so it runs in the
family. Also, champagne. I love champagne.
11. I was a dancer
for 12 years of my life and still choreograph in my mind to most songs I hear.
My dance team helped me go from a shy young girl to a confident young woman. So
many great memories were created during my time as a dancer.
12. I really enjoy
photography and a couple summers ago had a picture I took showcased at the
Orange County Fair. It was a picture of dolphins, of course.
13. I have naturally
curly hair but refused to wear it curly until after I graduated high school and
became too lazy to straighten it every day. I didn't learn how to curl my hair
until I moved out my senior year of college and didn't have my mom around to
help.
14. Justin Bieber
follows me on Twitter. I don't know when it happened and I don't know why it
happened but it's true. I also don't know if this is something to be proud of
or ashamed of LOL. Also something I'm much more proud of is that while I was in
Santa Cruz JENNY LAWSON followed me on twitter. Her follow is something I will
happily and repeatedly advertise.
15. I am extremely
self-conscious of my feet but have learned to embrace them because if someone
is judging me based solely on my feet then I don't need them in my life.
16. I am a HUGE
hockey fan especially of the Anaheim Ducks but everyone else in my family roots
for the LA Kings. Luckily a group of my best friends are also Ducks fans so I
don't have to cheer on my team alone.
17. In my dreams I
end up married to a hockey player; in reality I'll settle for a fan of hockey,
extra points if he's a Ducks fan.
18. I love
Disneyland and had a pass for at least 8 years. I didn't renew when my anxiety
got really bad ): but I plan on renewing it as soon I am able to conquer
Disneyland again, well that and when I have money again.
19. The only time I
have ever been to Dodger stadium was to watch an outdoor hockey game. It was a
fun experience to have with my dad and my older brother, plus the Ducks beat
the Kings!
20. I pretty much
have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to make-up so I've learned to be very
comfortable with a make-up free face.
21. I think I'm a
very hilarious person but I'm pretty sure people are laughing at me and not
with me. Either way I still think I'm hilarious.
22. I should never
be allowed to go to Target unsupervised or with my mom. We are terrible
influences on each other when it comes to shopping. We can convince each other
everything is needed. Actually not just Target, pretty much any place involving
clothes, shoes, and purses.
23. I once held a
sloth. Surprisingly it was at the Long Beach Grand Prix and I was wearing a
tank top so it's claw was digging into my back the entire time, but honestly it
was worth it because now I can tell people I've held a sloth. On the note of
animals I've also petted a bobcat when I was younger because my dad's friend
had two of them as pets out in the desert.
24. My favorite food
would have to be potatoes made pretty much any way besides scalloped. I don't
know why but I just can't support scalloped potatoes.
25. I helped
choreograph and participated in a flash mob for a Sport's Authority grand
opening. It was awkward and fun all at the same time.
I hope you enjoyed getting to know these random little things about me. I would love it if you commented on this post with some fun facts of your own so I can get to know you better!
Until next time. 💜
