1. When I was a little girl I thought I was really good at singing. I also thought that making faces while you sang (like the people on TV) made your singing sound even better. My favorite song was We Built This City on Rock-N-Roll. I know now that I'm not good at singing. :) Nobody in my immediate family is very good. The Birthday song is always kind of a disaster at our house.
2. I chew gum like my dad does. This is a really bad thing. Like a machine that won't stop and just keeps getting faster and faster.
3. I also pop my gum, just like my mom, aunt and Nana.
4. I've never liked my hair. It's always either too frizzy, too fine, too dry, etc.
5. I'm always envious of girls with long, thick hair that never seems to get messed up, even when it raining.
6. I hate exercising.
7. I hate sweating.
8. I force myself to exercise and feel good about it afterwards.
9. However, when I get home I usually eat twice as much food as I normally would, but justify that it's ok because I worked out.
10. I love to swim, but I have to hold my nose. Just have to. I've tried not to... a lot. When water gets up my nose the pain shoots to the back of my head.
11. I can't dive. I have a fear of my head going in first.
12. I have a huge head. Hats and headbands give me headaches. My cousin is the same way. I'm going river tubing again today and, once again, I'll probably be the only girl in the large yellow helments while all the other girls have the small blue ones on.
13. I hate milk and I always have. I eat cereal with a fork so no unnecessary milk gets in my mouth.
14. I don't like eating things that you have to eat with your hands (corn on the cob, ribs, etc.). I always cut my corn off the cob and eat it with a fork. Same with the ribs.
15. I like to eat ice cream cones with a spoon.
16. I hate public bathrooms and would rather hold it for hours than to have to use a public bathroom. I will never, ever sit on a public toilet (either squat or put about 20 layers of TP down)!
17. I love chocolate and could not possibly go a day without it.
18. I like movies that make me feel good or that are based on true stories.
19. I don't like movies that aren't real (or could never happen). So I don't like most of the popular movies like Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings, etc.
20. I like to sleep with my feet hanging off the end of the bed. This means that my pillow is usually 2 feet below Ryan's.
21. Ryan and I have a late night snack pretty much every night. 9 times out of 10 the snack is popcorn and M&Ms.
22. I am obsessed with checking the bed to be sure there are no bugs in it. I know people who have been bitten in their sleep so every night since high school I lift up all the pillows and fluff up the covers to be sure I'm not getting in bed with any unwanted visitors.
23. If Ryan gets in bed without doing this he has to get out so I can confirm that everything is ok.
24. I love to cook.
25. I am a very picky eater.
26. I love to watch All My Children. I've been watching now for 10 years.
27. I'm not a very good dancer. I think this is because I went to a school that never had dances, so I never got to practice. Plus, have you ever seen my dad dance?
28. I wish people today danced like people did a long time ago. You know, a song would play and everyone knew exactly what steps to do when. That looks like so much fun in the movies!
29. I kind of wish that Gone With the Wind clothes would come back in style. I think it would be so much fun to wear those huge dresses and big hats. Just not the corsets.
30. I usually have bad dreams. Crazy dreams.
31. I have a recurring dream that my teeth are falling out.
32. My favorite food is steak.
33. I always get caught if I'm doing something I'm not supposed to. Anytime I went rolling in high school I was the one who got caught and everyone else in the group got away. Seriously, one lady chased me with a broom. Another time I dove over a bush to hide. The other side of the bush was a 9 foot ditch that went below the road. I got stuck in a tree limb that pulled my shirt above my head. Then the limb broke and I fell into the ditch. I thought I just had horrible luck, then I found out that when I was growing up my mom prayed that Adam and I would get caught if we were doing stuff we weren't supposed to. Thanks, Mom!
34. One of my biggest pet peeves is bad table manners. I blame my parents for this because when I was growing up they corrected my table manners at every meal.
35. I am terrified of spiders and flying. And I flew over 30 times in 2007. When I'm on a flight I am praying the entire time.
36. I'm horrible at painting my own toe nails. When I finish it looks like I just dipped each toe in the bottle.
37. I know more about football (rules, plays, rankings, etc) than most girls.
38. I check to make sure that I turned the oven off probably 5 times.
39. I get a headache if I go a day without a coke.
40. I can't talk in the mornings before I've had a shower.
41. I don't like coffee so my morning shower is my wakeup time.
42. The sound of a hair dryer relaxes me.
43. The sound of people clipping their nails makes me want to run in the other direction.
44. I love weddings and I love being a bridesmaid. I've been a bridesmaid 8 times. I've been in 12 weddings total.
45. I wear men's deodorant. It works way better and it actually doesn't get white spots on my clothes. This all started one day when I was out of deodorant and borrowed Ryan's and figured out I liked it a lot better.
46. I like to knit but I don't like to wear the scarves I've knitted. So I have several scarves if anybody wants one.
47. When I take a shower I put the gobs of hair that come out on the shower wall. Sometimes I forget to get it off.
48. I love to get my eyebrows waxed.
49. I love to give people gifts. I also don't like to open gifts in front of people.
50. I don't like hotels and the idea of sleeping in beds that tons and tons of other people have slept in.
51. I usually blow my nose about 20 times a day. It sounds like I'm blowing a trumpet. It's always bothered my mom.
52. Car washes scare me and I won't go through one unless someone else is in the car with me.
53. I love to play games. Ryan doesn't love to play games. He can't sit still long enough.
54. I love going to restaurants. Even if the food is better at home. I just love having a menu with a bunch of choices and having someone wait on you. And just walking away when you're finished and someone else cleans up the mess.
55. I hate scary movies. I also hate scary roller coasters. I hate to be scared.
56. I never go anywhere without earrings. And I usually only wear pearl studs.
57. I would rather be classy than trendy.
58. I love In Style magazine. There's always a section where they have outfit suggestions for people in their 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s. My favorite outfits are usually for women in their 40s and 50s. Apparently I'm not dressing my age.
59. I have always truly believed that my brother is the best out fielder there has ever been.
60. I have never liked my stomach. I think my belly button is too deep and sometimes I put a band aid over it so that you can't see it through a thin shirt. I also don't usually wear 2 pieces for the same reason.
61. I'm a big fan of the strapless one piece bathing suits. I think they're very classy and you don't get weird tan lines.
62. The only problem is when you have to go to the bathroom sometimes a one piece is hard to get in and out of. Especially if you're hot.
63. My ears can't clear water. I have to use Swimmers Ear Drops after I take a shower.
64. I'm a very festive person. I love costume parties and celebrating every holiday, no matter how small.
65. I'm obsessed with anti-bacterial hand gel.
66. I drive really slowly, but have road rage. When people don't use their blinkers I stay mad at them half the day. I know this is a bad thing.
67. I love to be a hostess. I love to have people over to watch TV, play games, have meals, have Bible studies, or just to visit. I always want my house/apt to be the hang out.
68. I love mail and wish that people used that more than email.
69. I'm a sympathy crier. Happens every time.
70. I pick up other people's accents and mannerisms really easily. I found out that my cousin does this too. My first day of kindergarten I made friends with a girl who had a very country accent. When I got home and started talking my parents were scared.
71. I think TV when I was a child was way better than now! I miss TGIF (Full House, Family Matters & Step By Step) and Saved by the Bell!
72. I expect a lot out of people.
73. I'm pretty clumsy. I spill stuff, drop stuff, trip and bump my head all the time. I embarrass myself often and get food stains on my clothes all the time.
74. I put stuff off til the last minute, but always get it done.
75. Chocolate covered strawberries are the best thing in the world. Esp. from Godiva with the fondant in between the choc. and the strawberry.
76. My favorite thing in the world is hanging out with my family.
77. My favorite place in the world is on a lounge chair on a white sandy beach with a good book in my hand.
78. I love to dress up. I love having a reason to dress up.
79. I also love days when I don't even change out of my pajamas.
80. I'm allergic to cats, but can't stand them anyway. Ever since Ryan learned about diseases we can catch from them, we will not be having one as a pet!
81. I love staying up late. Really, really late.
82. I love sleeping in.
83. I love not having to set an alarm. I also love to hit the snooze button a hundred times.
84. I can't sleep if there is any light in the room or if there is any noise (loud clocks esp).
85. I'm really into politics and am very opinionated. I'm praying every day for our next president.
86. I hate clutter. It stresses me out to be in a room with piles in every corner. Kind of like the tiny apartment we are living in right now.
87. I'm very afraid of heights. When I was a kid at camp I would always work up my courage to go off the high diving board. When I would finally get up to the top I would make all the kids get off the ladder so that I could climb back down.
88. I take everything literally. I understand how Nicodemus was confused when Jesus told him to be "born again".
89. I have the worst sense of direction ever. It can be scary. When I had a job delivering flowers they would give me directions to people's houses as though I were leaving the store parking lot. Many times I would make a delivery, drive back to the store parking lot, and leave again. That's the only way I could find my way.
90. I want to love other people the way Jesus loves them. I want to love myself the way Jesus loves me.
91. I have a bed time ritual and I can't get in bed until I've done everything on my list.
92. In a perfect world I would have clean sheets on my bed every day. But for now, I'll have to settle for once a week since we don't have a washing machine.
93. If I could only have one piece of makeup on it would be mascara.
94. I love fresh flowers but never know when it's time to throw them away. I'm always kind of sad when I have to throw them away.
95. I always set my alarm on an odd number. (ex. 7:01)
96. I check my email 100 times a day.
97. I love Tyler candles. They're the only kind I buy. I just received a different kind of candle as a gift and now I'm a fan of ONSCO candles too.
98. I am a girly-girl. When I was little I didn't want to wear anything that wasn't pink or purple. When my girl scouts troop was told to wear our uniforms to school, our BROWN uniforms, I bawled and begged mom to let me quit girl scouts.
99. I'm horrible at apologizing.
100. I only like it when the toilet paper comes out from under the roll. If it is set up where the toilet paper pulls from the top of the roll, I always change it...even if I'm at your house.
My cousin, Jenny, did this on her blog and I thought it was a lot of fun getting to know so much about her and seeing how much we have in common. So, what do you and I have in common? :)

Wow. Thanks a lot, now I have this picture in my mind of you and your Dad chewing gum, dancing, and trying to sing. I need to turn on some music to clear my head. . .
You guys have been prayed for today!
It was my aunt, I believe, that beat you with a broom while rolling yards and oddly enough she's done the same to me before too. Actually, I think the reason she beat you was because she thought you were me! LOL...very interesting blog though...i enjoyed this one alot!
Some of those weird things you do and like come from the Warren side of the family. Love you, Mom I'm in Dallas and plan on taking your mother out dancing tonight. Later, we'll hit the karoke places where I'll belt out a few tunes while chewing gum. Wish you were here to join us. Love Dad
Aww, Ashley, this was great! If I had a blog, I would do it, too! Miss you!
Love~Jamie
Guess your dad is right...there are a lot of Warren traits listed because just like Jennifer's list, I share a lot of the same things with your list. Thanks for posting them, it made me laugh.
Love, Kathy
Oh man, we have A LOT in common. That weird Warren blood must run thick.
#12, as we have already established
#16 TOTALLY ME TOO
#17
#21 - except my snack is popcorn and then cereal
#24
#27 - This must def. run in the family. I am a terrible dancer.
#30 - me too - awful dreams AND #31 - I HAVE THE SAME DREAM! Its TERRIBLE!
#38 - even with all the checking, sometimes I forget to check at all and then leave it on, so it only makes the checking worse the next time!
#40 - ME EITHER
#46 - tons of scarfs here too that I won't wear
#47
#49 ITS AWFUL OPENING GIFTS IN FRONT OF THE PERSON WHO GAVE IT TO YOU! I loved that I had so many baby showers, but HATED the gift opening and every time I tried to avoid it but they made me!
#50 When I had to travel a lot for work I devised a method that involved asking for extra sheets so that I never had to touch the bedspread (which DOES NOT ever get washed)
#53, #54, #55, #65, #66 - though I don't drive slowly, I too struggle with massive road rage!
#70 #73 (almost everything I own has a stain that won't come out), #74, #77, #81-84 (all of them)
#89
Wow. If I were a girly-girl, we would have related in almost everything! Maybe I am your tomboy version...
Um... don't blame your lack of dancing skills on our school not having dances. Haha just kidding. We had several dances missy!!
Great list! I might try this but I am worried I won't able to think of 100 things about myself!
Yes, it was Marion's sister who chased me! She was very apologetic when she found out it was me! :)
*I just re-read my list and I wrote number 100 backwards. I like it the other way around. :)
It's amazing how much we have in common...lol. I honestly was so blessed to have you in my suite freshman year...I honestly don't know what I would have done without you. I also have you to thank for introducing me to M&M's and popcorn...yum!!!!
