My life never ceases to entertain me



Courtnacalifornia and I enjoying life-one funny face at a time. :)

I was just going through my Facebook notes and I found one that cracked me up. Here are 25 reasons why my life never ever ceases to entertain me. I honestly try to make it normal, but it's impossible.

1. I name everything I own, and most of the names end up being foreign men's names. For example, my bike is Sven, my hairbrush is Arafat and my car is Fabio.
2. I am a tight wad. I still own clothes from eighth grade-and my sister-in-law will never let me forget about that :).
3. I will think twice about buying a product from a company if they spell something wrong in their advertisement. Bad grammar and spelling drives me insane. If you put the wrong "their", "they're" or "there", I will take a deep breath and try to forget about it.
4. Some of my goals are to get a Master's in Public Health,speak five languages before I die,adopt kids and run a marathon.
5. I am obsessed with dark chocolate, polka dots, chocolate-dipped cinnamon bears, country music, the state of Washington, farm boys, biking, BYU Sports (especially Men's Volleyball), mountains, stars, Taylor Swift's songs, peaches and chocolate mint.
6. One of my favorite things to do is to fly somewhere, and end up sitting next to a total stranger and becoming great friends in such a short time.
7. I am a social person, but people find it hard to believe that I love my alone time.
8. I think giving blood is fun. My favorite part is watching the nurse put the needle into my arm.
9. The scripture Ether 12:27 epitomizes my life since I was kid. When I was little, I was quite feisty, disorganized, had bad handwriting, didn't sing very well, was messy and had a hard time controlling my anger. Now, I like to think of these as strengths.
10. I have a knack for remembering everyone I have ever met. For example, I remember just about every single person I have taken a class with, and I can remember which one within ten questions. I have to hold myself back sometimes, because I remember everyone I have met once, and people are a little freaked out when I remember them, where they're from and their major.
11. My name is spelled wrong on my birth certificate. It was "Jenae". People have spelled my name in more ways than I thought were possible. For example, "Janea", "Gina", "Jenea", "JaNae", "Janay", and "Janai". My grandma spells it differently every year on my Christmas card.
12. Some of my weird quirks are that I abhor drinking out of glass cups, I eat the smallest banana on the back of the bunch, I won't eat something if it smells gross, and I don't really like donuts that much, unless they're cake donuts.
13. I love it when people play with my hair-especially Courtnacalifornia :).
14. I love chaos and being busy.
15. I am a narcoleptic when I drive or watch movies. I have to do something with my hands to keep me awake. For example, when I drove from Washington to Utah I got out of the car and a ran a mile for every 100 miles I drove to stay awake. Good idea, huh?
16. My nicknames include: Janaedio, Janae Mom, Hippy Sis, Boston Head, Brown Cow, Utility Forward (Rugby), Bulldozer (Soccer), Janae-nae and Coach Janae.
17. I love reading and learning about other cultures.
18. My family is awesome and incredibly hilarious. Just ask them about a game of Guesstures and they bust up laughing just thinking about it. Does "bikini", "tango" or "hurdle" ring a bell? :)
19. The only requirements I have for my own wedding are a chocolate fountain and a dance. My YW leader told me that it sounded like a party, and I said, "Exactly!!" :)
20. If I marry someone with the last name that starts with "K" or "Q", my initials will be JRK, JRQ-Jerk.
21. I love things that most people don't. For example, I love volunteering at an old folks' home and in a high school ESL classroom-and I actually like middle schoolers and would like to teach them someday.
22. I have been told that I have a drawl and been asked if I was Argentine, Portuguese, Brazilian, Mexican, Eastern European or Norwegian.
23. I miss high school Spirit Week. I got to wear cool stuff, such as flippers and inner tubes, capes, 80's clothes, a mullet wig....I could go on and on. Good times.
24. Fave BYU dating stories: I got my hand shut in the door on a date freshman year and a guy gave plasma so he could afford a date with me.
25. I love ya!!

Have a great day!!
-Janae
