here goes… in no apparent order...
#1 Any and all things Dietetics related. This includes my obsession with collecting recipes, owning a meat & candy thermometer, counting calories, creating diabetic menus (aka carb counting), doing dietary analysis, making up puree menus, and always having something due the next day and no time to do it.
#2 -I often spout off random anatomy terms. To name a few: tensor fascia latae, extensor carpi radialis longis, fovea centralis, intercondilar eminence, malleas, incus, and stapes (that’s for you Stacey), circumvallate, and azygos vein. I even own a box of Netter’s anatomy flashcards. I took anatomy last year and immediately fell in love with the human body and all its intricacies. Then I became a lab TA and smelled like formaldehyde for a whole semester. My room mate was a sweetheart and dealt with it the whole time. Spring semester I took a human dissection class. I got to use a bone saw and dissect a brain, eye, and various muscles- coolest class ever!
#3 - I am fascinated with human anatomy and physiology. I love the cardiovascular system, the rennin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, erythopoisis, homeostasis, neuroendocrinology, inflammation, and learning about different diseases (their symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment). Whenever I’m studying for a test I usually spread out all my notes on my bed and read my roomy random facts and stats I need to memorize.
#4 – I am a nerd. See above.
#5 – I recently picked up melon garnishing. See my last post. I have even considered asking for a garnishing tool set for Christmas.
#6 – I am obsessed with old movies and musicals, especially if they involve tap dancing. Or any of the following actors/ actresses: Gene Kelly, Cary Grant, Gregory Peck, Audrey Hepburn, Julie Andrews, Frank Sinatra, Fred Astaire, Bing Crosby, Vera-ellen, Ginger Rogers, Rex Harrison, etc.
My lifelong dream is that I will own every good, classic musical on DVD or soundtrack. I want my kids to have something good to watch and listen to, and I wouldn’t mind if they fell as much in love as I have with every kind of music (band, choir, musicals, piano, accapella groups, etc).
And to name a few (okay, a lot) of my favorite movies/ musicals (some I’ve seen and many I haven’t):
Aida
#7 - I often makeup and hum random tunes to myself and then realize that they remind me of a real song and start singing that. My roomy is a witness to this.
#7b- a couple more weird, random things since I didn’t write very much for #4:
I won't eat peanut butter and jelly together, especially not sandwiches. I can eat peanut butter; I can eat jelly, but never together.
I love going to plays, especially during the Shakespearean festival in
I love Romanian music; mostly because my brother introduced me to it, and it’s where he served his mission.
I want to own all the Dramatized Church History and New Testament CDs by Orson Scott Card that I used to listen to all the time when I was younger.
So now I’m going to tag my friends Denise, Lindsey, and Jodi, my sister Brenna, and roomy Brianne.
Feel free to tag yourself!
It's fun to see how many weird things there are about yourself and then try to whittle them down to 7.
p.s. I have an obsession with llamas that has been passed down to me from my older sisters.. Here’s that pic I promised ya Janette!
