4. I like to make beaded jewelry and such.

5. I love CSI:NY.

6. It’s been five years since I’ve done any throwing of clay on a wheel, and I kind of miss it a little bit.  It was a good stress reliever.

7. I like to sing…a lot.

8. I didn’t get the courage to sing solo in front of a crowd until I was 23.  I sang, “The Glory” by Avalon on Easter at my church.

9. I collect smiley faces.  .

10. My favorite Bible verse is John 16:33 – “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

11. I like to try exotic foods once, just to be able to say, “Yeah, I’ve tried that.”

12. My favorite movie is The Wizard of Oz.  It’s been my favorite since I was a kid, with The Sound of Music as a close second.

17. I am one of the few people I know who hasn’t read The Shack yet.  I am looking forward to reading it some time in the near future.

18. I like it on the rare occasion when my brother goes grocery shopping with me…I sometimes end up with a new random quote to save for posterity on my Facebook profile. .

19. I’m not a big fan of cold weather, but if it snows I guarantee you I will be out in it…either taking pictures or bulding something out of it.

20. I can’t swim underwater without holding my nose.

21.  I am easily distracted.
