I realized I never posted in this thread - but I always love reading the things posted in here, so time to do it myself! A lot of people know the basics about me, so I'll try to list 10 random things.
1- I met my 2 best friends in the world in college. We are kindred spirits and when we're together we have entirely too much fun. Our freshman year we all (sort-of) randomly ended up buying the exact same pair of red American Eagle tennis shoes. This pleased us to no end, and we formed the Red Shoe Cult. We held weekly "fraus" where we wrote in a journal about what was going on in our lives, and talked and ate havarti cheese. Inspired by The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants books we also made The Rules. We even made a Web page for the group: www.geocities.com/redwingchelly24/RSC.html - I miss them constantly since graduation last May, but we got together over Christmas and had an excellent time. And there's the possibility that one of them might be going to music school in NYC this year!
2- I met Ryan when I was Advertising Manager at The State News (my college's daily paper). I hired him for my staff - hahaha. We got along marvelously, but he didn't really like sales so he quit the job. We kept in touch, and then a month later started dating.
3- I am one of the world's biggest Apple Addicts. I've convinced countless numbers of friends and aquaintances to make the good switch to owning a Mac. My powerbook is getting a little old, so right now I'm saving for a MacBook Pro. I can't wait!
4- I have some of the strangest food allergies, and they drive me INSANE. I'm finding it hard to live with all these foods that I love but cannot eat. As you'll see from the list, it's hard to eat healthy when I can't eat the following: Lettuce, Bananas, Carrots, Celery, Oranges, Strawberries, Cilantro (used in a lot of Mexican and Thai dishes), and almost all raw fruits and vegetables.
5- I love hockey, I love hockey games and I love to play open hockey with my guy friends. My favorite team is the Detroit Red Wings.
6- (this one is very random) I have a like/hate view of high heeled shoes. I think they are pretty, and I wear them sometimes and feel very cute, but as a feminist I have a problem with them. When I think about it, it seems insane that our society's put women tittering up on these shoes - often causing pain and discomfort and impairing her ability to run from danger or defend herself. A man would never THINK of wearing shoes that uncomfortable, or that he couldn't move freely about the world with ease while wearing.
7- My favorite foods are tacos, mashed potatoes, cheese cubes, and chocolate chip cookies.
8- I too, adore coffee. Coffee is one of my favorite things in life. I love how wonderful it tastes and how comforting it feels. I usually drink it black, but I also like Cafe au Lait. To everyone who doesn't like the taste - it's definitely an acquired taste - like beer- but so heavenly once you start to love it.
9- I miss my little brother more than anything in the world. He's 6, and moving far away from him was the most painful thing I've ever done. He is the sweetest, smartest, most creative kid. I go home as much as possible to see him. It's hard, but I had to make the decision to live my life too - and there are no jobs in Michigan. Chicago is the closest big city, but I hate Chicago. So here I am in New York - loving this amazing city and having a wonderful time - but constantly feeling the tug of Michigan on my heart - I miss my whole family. I'm very close with my parents too, and Ben is my only sibling.
10- The thing I hate most in the whole world is telephone phone trees - when you call a company and get stuck in a HORRID phone tree listening to millions of options that aren't what you want and typing hundreds of digits of your personal information into the keypad (only to have the human - when you finally reach one - ask you the same exact things again). It makes my blood boil.
hmmm, I don't want to end on such a negative note, so I'll add a number 11 - I love puppies
