100 Things you need to know about Paige. Sorry if there are some shockers along the way. I don’t think there will be too many.
1. When I was a little girl, my nickname was Rampage. Take a guess why that was.
2. When growing up I lived in three different houses, all within about an eight of a mile from each other.
3. When little I killed an entire saltwater aquarium by throwing in dress up jewelry and a big bird toy. It was like pirate’s booty, I thought it would look cool, but the fish ate the jewelry and died. Sorry mom and dad.
4. I have taken a few lessons in my life:
5. Piano
6. Voice
7. Dance, additional lessons:
8. Modern, my favorite
9. Ballet
10. Jazz
11. I took dance for about 10-11 years ( I think)
12. I tried basketball, but to no avail.
13. I would like to learn how to golf.
14. I would like to learn how to fly fish.
15. I actually do like fishing.
16. I would like to learn to snowboard better, but I hate the cold.
17. I guess I will take up wakeboarding instead.
18. When I was about 12 I took ski lessons, but I only stuck with them for a season.
19. I always wanted to take Gymnastics and drum lessons.
20. Now I would like to learn how to play the guitar and go back to ballet/modern and piano.
21. My most embarrassing moment was when I was 16 and I was on a date with a cute senior. We were on a double and I was getting out of the back of a lifted Jeep Wrangler and my foot got caught on the seat belt and I fell out of the Jeep and landed right on my bum. I was also wearing a skirt. My date didn’t know what to do, but I started laughing, so he did too. Then I went inside and cried. We ended up dating for a while after that. I guess making a fool out of yourself really helps you get the guys.
22. I LOVE Kids
23. I can’t wait to have my own, that’s no secret though.
24. All through high school and a few years after, I wanted a tattoo of a dragonfly and the Libra sign on my back. I even had it drawn out what I wanted it to look like.
25. I also wanted my nose pierced during this same little phase. I actually went to the tattoo and piercing parlor and chickened out.
26. I did have my belly button pierced for about six months in high school. I ditched school with a friend and we both did it. My husband was actually the first person I told, but we were just friends at that point. (Duh)
27. I always wear an elastic band around my wrist on the off chance I might put my hair in a ponytail, but I never do. That is something I might stop. Hey, could be worse though, could be a scrunchie.
28. When I was about four, I broke my little brother’s arm. He was asleep on my parent’s bed and I proceeded to jump on the bed and jumped right on his arm. He was about 18 months old. Sorry, Mike.
29. When I was 18 months old, I fell off a step ladder and broke my leg. I wore a cast from toe to hip.
30. My first ever boyfriend was in sixth grade, and might I add that he was so stinking cute, still is, but as it turns out, he is now gay and living in San Francisco.
31. My first attempted kiss was in eighth grade. He leaned in, closed his eyes and oops! He completely missed my mouth. Needless to say, he never tried again. (he actually got my eye somehow).
32. My first real kiss was in ninth grade at a party.
33. When I am driving alone, I like to sing as loud as I can, sometimes when I am with people too.
34. Also, when I am driving and singing, I take mental note of the songs I could sing decently on the off chance I ever had to audition for American Idol. (ya know, if my life depended on it.)
35. I love to drive on the freeway with my windows down, and turn up my music so I can hear it over the freeway sounds.
36. My favorite vacation spot is Hawaii.
37. I dream of one day visiting all the cliché movie spots, like London, Paris, Rome, etc. . . .
38. I would absolutely love to go to Greece one day and then embark on a Mediterranean cruise.
39. I have travelled a few fun places,
40. Hawaii
41. Germany
42. Mexico
43. Oregon
44. Florida
45. California
46. Washington
47. My favorite seasons are spring, because everything is new and fall, because my birthday is in the fall and because it is beautiful.
48. I LOVE living in Utah. ( much to the chagrin of my husband)
49. I love nighttime, nothing beats a warm summer night, and my favorite place in the world is my bed.
50. I could sleep forever. I am SO NOT a morning person. I can’t wait to go to bed at night.
51. When I was little I wanted to be a dolphin trainer at sea world.
52. Then I wanted to be a marine biologist.
53. I still dream of doing these things one day.
54. I am scuba certified.
55. I would love to live in the Northwest, it is gorgeous up there. (Hey, Erin, I’ll trade ya.)
56. I absolutely have to see Prince Edward Island one day.
57. I am a huge Anne of Green Gables fan.
58. I played soccer for about thirteen years and loved every minute of it.
59. I talk really, really, really fast when I am excited.
60. Normally, I just talk fast.
61. My sister is my best friend.
62. I really admire my little brothers.
63. I love and look up to my parents. They are everything I want to be.
64. I love my friends.
65. I am very loyal.
66. I am a good listener.
67. I miss high school.
68. I am an army wife. I always swore I never would be.
69. I am pretty dang lucky to be married to Mike, though. He is amazing!
70. I am obsessed with the food network.
71. When I am cooking, alone, of course, I talk to my pretend audience like I am doing a cooking show.
72. There is nothing better, in my mind, than a warm rain and bare feet. I know, so cliché, but it is true.
73. I am an English major, that is if I ever finish school.
74. My favorite body part is my feet.
75. The first CD I ever got was Counting Crows: August and Everything After. To this day it is one of my favorites.
76. When I was little I loved popsicles, pickles and potato chips. Not much has changed.
77. I actually love to stand in my kitchen and eat pickles out of the jar; the hamburger slices to be exact.
78. I am obsessed with the Twilight series. I check stephenie meyer.com daily.
79. The last book I read was Harry Potter.
80. The last time I cried was when I finished that book. (I finished it on Sunday.)
81. My all time favorite musician is Billy Joel. You gotta love the piano man.
82. When I was little I had a pet canary. He was bright yellow and his name was Harmony.
83. I hate, more than anything, the way stamp adhesive tastes. I HATE licking stamps.
84. I love Broadway!
85. I could listen and sing to the Wicked and Les Miserables soundtracks forever and never get sick of them. Greatest stuff ever!
86. I got to see Kristen Chenoweth perform live on Broadway.
87. I cannot tell a story, or even have a conversation for that matter, without using my hands. Thanks, Mom.
88. I am terrified of Bees and Balloons.
89. When I was sixteen I was in a really bad car accident. My car rolled and landed upside down and me and my two friends walked away, with just a few cuts and scratches.
90. I love the beach. Whether it is California and 80 degrees, or Oregon and 50 degrees, rainy, windy, and freezing, I love it!
91. I love to read. I have always loved it.
92. I drive a purple Honda Civic hatchback, that my friends in college named the purple egg.
93. I am addicted to Diet Coke. I can’t go a day without one. Although, I have cut it down to only one a day.
94. I used to play dress-up with my friends and we would act out all sorts of different scenarios.
95. Our fave was that we were a girl group, like Wilson-Phillips, and we would lip-synch to songs while dancing on the ledge of my mom and dad’s fireplace, like a stage.
96. I love going to the zoo. It has been a long time since I’ve actually been there, but I love it just the same. Same with Sea World.
97. I LOVE roller coasters. I could ride them over and over and not be phased. My fave is at Six Flags, Magic Mountain in California.
98. I love wear flip-flops. I have an entire hanging shoe closet full of them. It kills me when I have to throw a pair away.
99. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Johnny Depp. I think he is a genius. And yes I loved him before the Pirate’s movies, but they didn’t hurt my opinion of him.
100. When I was in 6th grade, at recess, my friends and I would feed a “leprechaun”, and leave little toys and things, that we thought lived right on the edge of the school boundaries. We told everyone about it, and when St. Patrick ’s Day came, there was a pot of gold in the spot that we had been leaving all this stuff. I am pretty sure that our teacher had something to do with it, but we didn’t think that at the time. It was pretty cool.
Hope you all have had fun getting to know me a little bit better. I had fun doing this. Thanks Chels for the idea.
