Some new facts

I just finished writing an essay for a scholarship application that I am supposed to turn in tomorrow. I totally enjoy writing, but when it comes to writing something that is for a some what competitive nature I completely freeze up. Well, we'll see how it goes.

Since it is a Sunday afternoon and I am entirely bored (but not bored enough to clean my room although it is in dire need of it) I decided that I am going to write a list of things that I'm sure not many people know about me. This is a tag, meaning that when I'm done, I am going to pass it on to a few people and ask them to write lists about themselves.

1) I love having my picture taken and I am constantly taking pictures of myself and my friends. If there is a camera, you can bet that I am in at least two of the pictures.

2) I love writing and I am constantly writing short stories and poetry. I am currently working at more positive poetry because most of mine is, um, kindof dark.

3) I enjoy talking to kids more than adults because they are so honest and it's easier to tell when they lie. Also their imaginations are so great, that it's a good way to take a break from the real world.

4) My family means everything to me and I would drop anything and everything to do something for any of my siblings, especially my sisters.

5) My mom is my best friend.

6) I consider my older sisters (all of them, including my sister-in-laws) as my mentors and commend all of them for putting up with me as the annoying baby sister.

7) I am a compulisive flirt, and I am more likely to flirt with a guy I don't like than a guy I do like.

8) I communicate with guys better than girls.

9) I love singing, and I think I do it relatively well, but I rarely let other people hear me sing.

10) Braxton is my life, and I brag about him and his family all the time.

11) I read the book Les Miserable in the seventh grade.

12) I have spent more time reading and writing, than watching TV or movies.

13) I dance all the time; at school, at home, shopping, etc.

14) I have always wanted to be in a beauty (well sorry scholarship) pageant.

15) I love going to work.

16) My two favorite smells are rain and horses.

17) I am a deep thinker and try to look into things past what they appear, even if I'm looking too hard.

18) Two of my biggest pet peeves are when people say anyways and Evingston (it's Evanston).

19) My favorite number 22 and I have no clue why.

20) Although I like talking to kids the best, I'd rather talk to adults than teenagers.

21) I use big words sometimes just to confuse people.

22) I actually enjoy golf but I make fun of it all the time.

23) I love cooking!

24) I love looking at art, and seeing different styles.

25) Emily Dickinson would definantly be on my list of idols.

Ok, so Erin, Tana, Trish, Holly, AnDe, Mom, and Hanna, I tag you!

It's just me!

What Shanna Means

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

It's The Little Things That Count!

Are You a Hopeless Romantic?

My Result: The Little Things

Breakfast in bed? An incognito text message? Nobody knows better than you that it's the little things that matter. Down to earth and reserved, romance works best for you when it's not dressed up like a big stereotype. We're pretty sure you're one of the last people on earth to propose in skywriting, right? After all, you probably think that things are best done with a little discretion and common sense, in love and out.


You probably think JLo explained it best when she sang, "My love don't cost a thing." So true! It's the little things in life that show just how important you are to the ones who love you.

What are you?

True Blue!

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Blue

You're blue — the most soothing shade of the spectrum. The color of a clear summer sky or a deep, reflective ocean, blue has traditionally symbolized trust, solitude, and loyalty. Most likely a thoughtful person who values spending some time on your own, you'd rather connect deeply with a few people than have a bunch of slight acquaintances. Luckily, making close friends isn't that hard, since people are naturally attracted to you — they're soothed by your calming presence. Cool and collected, you rarely overreact. Instead, you think things through before coming to a decision. That level-headed, thoughtful approach to life is patently blue — and patently you!

What are you?
