100 Things You Didn't Want to Know About Me

So after not posting anything for over a month and really enjoying getting to know the cousins better, I decided to take the 100 things challenge. Hopefully it doesn't bore you and you can learn a little more about me:

1. I am one of the most blunt people you will ever meet. Those awkward things that everyone is thinking but no one says, I say. This is an attribute learned and perfected from my sister Elizabeth.
2. I am an extremely social person, probably the most in my family. I enjoy time alone but more often than not I would rather be doing something with friends.
3. I need less sleep than the average person.
4. I have stayed up 36+ hours straight multiple times in my life.

8. I have not been on a date since July of 2007.
9. I have ten hymns memorized. I can't play them any other way.
10. I am OCD about light switches. If they are off the switch needs to be down, if they are on the switches need to be up. This is usually only a problem with lights that have more than one switch.
11. I am also OCD about the toilet paper roll. When in the dispenser, it needs to be overhand, not underhand.

27. In junior high, if I didn't get a 100% or above on a test, I had failed it.
