Eleven

My good friend, Beka (you should follow her) did a cute post and guess what?

Yours truly got tagged to play this game!

So much fun, pretty dang excited! So here it goes:

11 Things.

1) I am a mild germ-a-phobe. I will not eat, touch, and sometimes breath around people who are sneezing and coughing and not covering their mouth and washing their hands after. Drives me nuts. But I do play in dirt, sit down on a public toilet, and sometimes touch door knobs. Go figure.

2) My greatest fear is natural disasters because I have no control and no escaping. True story: we were on a family trip to nauvoo and were staying in Nebraska. Storm clouds were swirling=Marlisa is thinking of driving the family van with the family inside the trailer hooked onto the van back to Utah asap. I ended up sleeping at the bottom of my sleeping bag because my dad was going to allow no such thing.

3) I don't like Halloween. I don't like scary movies. I don't like dressing up. I only like 2 things: candy and Hocus Pocus.

4) I think green is the ugliest color. I have one article of clothing that is green and it is because I was trying to be 'out of the box'. It has sat in my closet ever since.

5) People fascinate me. I love listening to stories and backgrounds and how they have affected the individuals current state.

6) My left sock and left shoe always go on before my right.

7) I am ambidextrous. Left hand=writing and eating. Right hand=sports(ie throwing, batting, shooting). Left foot=favor it in dance(ie my best splits were with my left). Right foot=kicking.

True story: I once told my basketball coach that I was anorexic (meant to say ambidextrous). I never outlived that story.

8) I want the most random animals for pets. Fish, whales, eagles, penguins, etc. But for now I will be able to swim/hold/be around those animals until laws are lifted prohibiting me keeping them.

9) My family means the world to me. I would die for any of them. Sometimes I'll get an anxiety thinking of all the bad things that could happen to them. I actually used to check my sister in the middle of the night to make sure she was ok and still breathing (finger under her nose and everything) because I pysched myself out thinking that she could die in the middle of the night.

10) I am one of the most competitive people you'll ever meet. I love being underestimated just so that I can show people up. Its a strong point of mine but also can be a weakness.

11) Beets are the scum of the earth. There is a very short list of things that I can put the word 'Hate' to and beets is at the top.

Questions from Beka:

1. If you could live in any part of Disneyland (Disney World) where would it be?

          Never been to Disney World. For one, who wouldn't pick the castle?? Duh. But I've heard there is a basketball court inside the Matterhorn so that's a no brainer.
2. What do you think is the one thing that, if changed, would change the whole world (i.e. what is the biggest problem in the world today)?

        I think people are way too selfish. If people would think about others before themselves and be more giving I think a lot of the other problems would be lessened if not taken care of.
3. What is your favorite flavor of frozen yogurt?

         Honesty check: haven't had frozen yogurt. I don't understand why you would want that when there is Ice cream. Hello. But I do need to try it.
4. What is your typical Friday (weekend) night?

           Hmm..lately it's been watching tv/movies with the roomies and then going to bed because I have work in the morning. Provo is a zoo on weekend nights.
5. Who was your first celebrity crush?

           The earliest I can remember is Junior Floyd in Little Giants. Dreamy right?
6. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you "grew up"?

            I actually wanted to be a teacher (imagine that). I wanted to play basketball but not in the WNBA. Never had a desire to play at that level for different reasons.
7. What is your "secret" to success in life?

           Love people until they give you a reason not to and then you just respect them.
8. What do you want to name your first-born child?

            Why don't you stay tuned and find out :) (it'll be years...sorry)
9. What is the most spontaneous thing you have ever done?

           Decided to go snow shoeing with some friends at 10 o'clock at night up af canyon. SO MUCH FUN!!!
10. When was your "awkward" stage? 

             Definitely 8th grade in jr high. Hated that year! Unfortunately (and fortunately) I don't have a picture of that with me but maybe I'll think about getting that for comedy sake :)11. What is the one household chore that you absolutely hate doing?
              I actually love to clean! It is my favorite destressor besides working out.

Ok so here are the new questions for those who I tag to answer:
1. What is something people would be suprised to know about you?
2. If you could have any animal in the world as a pet, what would it be?
3. If you could save 5 things in a house fire what would they be?
4. If you could live anywhere, where would it be and why?
5. What is a talent/hobby that you currently don't have that you would like to acquire?
6. What is one physical trait that you are grateful to have?
7. What is your worst habit?
8. If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?
9. If people could learn one thing from you what would it be?
10. Worst date?
11. What is your greatest dream, with money aside, that you would like to accomplish?

Alright, I am tagging:
