It's True, Honest!

Despite my usual outward spite towards internet chains, secretly, I've always loved them. That is why I was thrilled to read that Emily had tagged me in this honest chain thing. So here goes.
Rules for the award:
1. Must thank the person who gave you the award and list their blog and link it.
2. Share "10 Honest things" about yourself.
3. Present this award to 7 others whose blogs you find brilliant in content and/or design, or those who have encouraged you.
4. Tell those 7 people they've been awarded HONEST SCRAP and inform them of these guidelines in receiving the award.

1. Like Emily, I assign personalities to numbers. However with me, I hate the odd numbers. In my mind they all have personalities, and seven is the worst. THE WORST. He's a jerk of universal proportions. Don't question this, I've always been this way. Also, I hate making change for anything like $0.39 or $0.79. Counting out four pennies just kills me. It's the little things.

2. I am ultra awkward and borderline creepy when I work the drive through at the coffee shop. I always hold eye contact for waaaay too long, and even when I know I'm doing it, I just can't stop. I rarely get tips from that section of the store. Or I get huge ones.

3. I love cheese so much that I very often eat it on its own for a snack. Or, I mix it up with something sweet-like dry Lucky Charms or something. I'll slice it up and eat it together. It sounds disgusting, but try it sometime, it's the poor man's French palate. Trust me.

4. I love good pop. Love it. There is a difference between good pop and bad pop, by the way. Good pop: Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, Chris Brown, etc. Bad pop: Kelly Clarkson, The Fray, Chris Daughtry, etc.

5. I was really struggling getting all my Shakespeare plays read during my Winter Intersession class about a month ago, and so sheepishly and jokingly (but also seriously) asked Daniel if he would read parts with me to make it faster and more interesting. Verdict? It was way faster, way more interesting, and way, way fun. Daniel was so awesome for doing it with me.

6.I got in trouble at work once for writing Peter Pan quotes on people's blank to-go coffee cups before I took their order. The customers loved it. My boss didn't.

7. I want to die at sea trying to save my ship from going down. In my head, I will successfully evacuate everyone else to safety, and before I can bring the sail down, the mast will break and fall on me-eliminating drowning on my part (that would be a horrible way to go) and providing an instant and heroic death. Don't act shocked, you've thought about a romantic death for yourself too.

8. No matter how old I am or how nicely I am dressed, I feel like a seventh grader when I put on a backpack. End of story.

9. I may or may not be obsessed with This Guy's Youtube channel. It gets me. It gets me in my little scene-kid-leftover-from-highschool-heart, and it just tickles my funny bone.

10. I become suddenly paralyzed when trying to use mouth wash. It begins when I can't get the lid off, then choke every time, dribbling mouthwash down my chin and neck, and then after about 30 seconds of swishing, all but vomit the stuff back into the sink because I hold my breath the whole time. It's a traumatizing experience.


And there it is. 10 reasons why you probably shouldn't be my friend anymore. I tag SE, My mother, Daniel Meigs, and Will Nettleton (who won't do it).
