16 Things About Me No One Knows

So, I've been tagged on facebook to give 16 random things, shortcomings, facts, habits or goals about myself. Instead, I've decided to post 16 things on my blog that no one (or at least most people) don't know.

1. I want to learn to speak fluent Spanish without an Okie accent. And then I want to go to Spain and actually be able to hold a conversation with a stranger.
2. I would rather be a student for the rest of my life than hold a real job.
3. I believe feminism means that women can choose for themselves whether they want children, career, or both, but I'm still somewhat disappointed in women who chose to be stay-at-home moms. (I realize that's pretty hypocritical, seeing as I've already stated I would prefer to go to school than work.)
4. When I was 16, I was obsessed with weighing less than my mom did on her wedding day. She weighed 98 pounds. My goal was to weigh 89-97. I never came close, and I'm glad I didn't.
5. I'm afraid to have kids because I think I'd still like the dogs more.
6. I like to psychoanalyze people. This isn't much of a secret, but I don't think anyone ever realizes when I do it.
7. I love Mexican Hot Chocolate.
8. I would prefer to eat a lot more health food than I do, but junk food is just so much cheaper and more convenient.
9. I often label myself with negative characteristics, and people assume this to mean I have low self- esteem. I don't. I prefer to attempt to be honest with myself, and I try to focus on what I need to improve. But I know I'm also not honest with myself about everything. Some things are really hard to admit.
10. I would be extremely disappointed if Tom Cruise died and I wasn't in some small way responsible.
11. When I was about 7 or 8, I wanted to run away from home and go work at Seaworld because I loved orcas and dolphins.
12. I wish I never quit piano lessons.
13. I really want snow and ice so I don't have to go to work tomorrow even though I keep saying the opposite.
14. When I was in elementary school, I wanted to be a children's book author and illustrator.
15. I would prefer for people to call me than to actually call people. I often wish that when I call they don't answer so they'll have to call me back.
16. I sometimes wonder what life would be like had I given x guy a chance instead of choosing Ryan. But I know I couldn't be happier than I am now.
