1. My name is Mary Books and yet I don't like to read books.
2. I have three brothers, two older and one younger, and I'm pretty close with all of them. My younger brother, Sam, is a freshman this year, and I would probably consider him one of my best friends.
3. I turned 19 this week, yes I know I'm old, but it's just one of the ways I'm different from your average Joe.
4. I did pole vaulting last year, and wasn't the greatest, but I hope to get better this year. I also joined cross country this year. I still kinda hate running, but I keep getting told I'm going to love it, and it has gotten better. So maybe there is hope.
5. My favorite thing to do in my free time is cook. I haven't had a lot of time lately and I really miss it. Something has got to change.
6. I also enjoy spending my days with Caroline, swimming at the pool and watching absolutely terrible movies on Netflix. We have skills and can find the worst made movies ever.
7. I have a pet bearded dragon, named Edwardo. He is about 4 years old and I love him so much. It might be strange that I love a big, scaly, lizard, but he's just so cute.
Oh and I have a pet goldfish, named Larry. Sydney bought me him from Wal-Mart, and he has managed to live for 10 months now, in a glass bowl with nothing but water. LARRY LIVES.
8. I don't have a favorite color because I don't like to pick favorites. I also don't have a favorite food, type of music, season, or holiday.
9. I like basically all music with the exception of country. I've just never liked it at all. It makes me want to pull my ears off.
10. I have lived in over 14 houses, in multiple states, all before the age of 12.
11. I cannot stand things that are unorganized, and yet I live in a room that is currently a disaster.
12. One of my least favorite things is being cold, I hate it so much. My muscles get all tight and there is no way to relax, I just can't stand it. All it makes me want to curl up and sleep.
13. I really really really hate living in Missouri. The weather is SO terrible. Summers are hot and humid while winters are cold and miserable. We don't even get enough snow for it to be fun, not that I would really play in it if we did.
14. My dad lives in New Mexico, and I haven't gotten to visit him yet but I think I might love it there. Dry heat for most of the year. That is the life for me.
15. I love to eat almost as much as I love to cook, and I can eat a lot. I really should probably weigh 100 pounds more than I do.
16. I have an extensive T-shirt collection of around 90 shirts, 14 of which are just plain white v-necks. What can I say, I just love T-shirts.
17. I've spent most of my life being extremely awkward. I'm still a little awkward, but I got a lot better last year, and think I'm still improving. Who knows I could be a whole new Mary one day.
Aw! I enjoy watching terrible movies on Netflix with you too! I have a feeling we'll be doing more of that now that it's too cold to swim.
ReplyDeleteI like what you did with your title! I have two breaded dragons and they're awesome! I can't keep a goldfish alive for anything though, I don't know why!
ReplyDeleteI love the title of your blog. When/where are you going to have your own cooking show? "Welcome to Mary's cooking show...starring Mary." This needs to happen. Why were you so awkward?
ReplyDeleteI can tell you've definitely been involved more this year, I things it's a good change for you! Although, I still enjoy your awkward personality, it makes you, you.
ReplyDeleteYour name should be Mary 'Cooks' (pun). what do you like to cook? Awkward Mary is the best though. Did you and Carol hangout a lot this summer?
ReplyDeleteMary, we have alot in common and YOUR FOOD IS AMAZING!! You make a killer pizza!

ReplyDelete17 facts later, I've learned nothing about you. How disappointing. Don't become a whole new Mary. Ever.
ReplyDeleteI love New Mexico!
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you like to read books, Mary Books?
ReplyDeleteI've a bearded dragon as well. Her name is Saxon and she is so active once she's out of her tank(we use a glass fish tank as a cage)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean - I like things to be organized, but my room is constantly messy. -_- Oh well, glad I'm not the only one.
ReplyDeleteI have a leopard gecko named Blizzard I love him too they're just too cute.
ReplyDeleteI am really awkward too and I have yet to grow out of that stage!
ReplyDeleteI love lizards. I wish I could have a pet lizard.
ReplyDeletePet lizards seem so much fun. like their small and cute...I wish I had one now.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy cooking too, If I went to McDonald's every time I was hungry I would have to stay there. So its easier for me just to cook
ReplyDeleteMy family has moved a lot as well but not as much as you have. My family likes to call us the "nomads" or "gypsies" because of how much we move.
ReplyDeleteI saw this movie. It took like a couple of hours to watch. must have sucked reading the book. lol jk.
ReplyDeleteHave fun, its a good book probably.
