If you really knew me...

Ok so I am officially jumping on this bandwagon like a ton of other bloggers have already done. I'm not totally sure who started the original idea {if you know please let me know, would love to give 'em street cred round here}, but this is such a great idea. I thought it was going to be harder to think of these, but once I started I couldn't get myself to stop! So here it is,




If you really knew me...you'd know,

...I'm a huge procrastinator {took me 4 hours before I finished this, pinterest may or may not be responsible for this}

...I'm a lover AND a fighter {I love hard and when needed fight even harder for the ones I love}

...When I fall in love, I fall hard {usually makes the breakups tougher}


...I've always lived in Chicago my whole life & wished I lived elsewhere at times {although I love Chicago!!}

...My younger sister {by 1.5 years} is my absolute best friend and knows everything there is to know about me


...I over-analyze the crap out of pretty much everything {no bueno sometimes}

...I'm a total night owl and can easily stay up past 2 or 3 AM


...Music is the best thing since sliced bread {I love it all hip hop, r&b, pop, light rock, and country. It automatically puts me in a better mood}


...My room is almost always a mess, but every other aspect of my life is pretty organized {I have about 3-4 planners on me not including the monthly dry erase board in my room, I'm never really that busy I just love to know what I'm doing and when}


...I'm the biggest sucker for RomCom's and chick flicks!!

...I've used a dating site in the past and actually met a half way decent guy, until he went and ruined that {I've since removed myself from any and all sites}

...I'm super insecure about myself and always have been {I was that nerdy girl in grade school with big pink Britney Spears round glasses and braces...not cute}

via
...When people do give me compliments I never believe what their saying to be true and automatically become super awkward, like smile like a little school girl awkward {refer above}

via
...I make TONS of lists about anything and everything, pisses my family off

...I love cereal for dinner sometimes or always


...I own over 100 nail polishes {and counting}


...I love helping others and love the job that I do, I really see myself making a difference in peoples lives, that makes it easier to wake up early and deal with long hours

...I watch way too much TV that I may or may not ok fine I do have a schedule of what shows come on what days/times just so I don't miss any of them

...I still live at home with my parents and probably will until I get married {It's pretty common in my religion and plus I work 5 mins from my parents house so the commute is awesome and the whole saving a TON of money is always a plus}

...I am so terribly afraid of bugs/spiders and become super paranoid of them being around until someone gets rid of them

...I have some of the best family and friends, but sometimes prefer to be alone {I'm not a loner or emo, I promise, just like some time to myself from time to time}

...I love a hand written invite/note over emails {call me old fashioned}


...I'm forcing myself to stop because it's 2AM and I feel like I could come up with a couple hundred more


Alright kiddos, I think this is pretty good for now. Now I gotta go make a list of crap that I'm over-analyzing after 2AM, listening to music & watching some romantic comedy, eating cereal, painting my nails, hiding from a loose spider in my parents house. Like how I did that :). I'm dorky I understand, don't hate the player hate the game! Well if you guys have done this get to know me post I would love to read yours, so go ahead and leave a link in the comments and if you haven't, then you probably should, everyone else is doing it {no pressure or anything}. 

Peace out girl scouts!

    one, my sister and I are also 1.5 years apart and she is also the besets friend a girl could ask for.
    two, your nail polish collection? I'm in AWE. seriously.
    three, nerdy girl with glasses and braces? Me too. Add a headgear to that as well hehe.

  4. LOVE these lists!!

    I can stay up super late too, esp. in the summer. When it's back to work though (teaching) I can't stay up past 11 lol.

  5. I love this idea. I may steal it from you one day. I am also a night owl. Nighttime is my friend and mornings are my enemy. Since we are both Chicago bloggers, we should try and organize a Blogger Meetup! I've always wanted to go to one! Let me know what you think!

  6. I am new to blogging so I totally missed the bandwagon! Definitely going to use the list idea for one of my future posts. I came across your blog via Darby @ Life With the Hawleys and I'm glad I did!

  7. I LOVED reading all these- we're so much more alike than I even thought :)

    - I have a gazillion planners, lists and calenders...I'm really not that busy but I just LOVE to make them/know whats going on/have them. It's almost obsessive :)

    -LOVED handwritten cards too...one of the best things! (Loving that my card made the picture too!)

    -I'm living at home now too...and would be fine to be here for a while. It's totally alright with me!

    -Cereal for dinner? Anytime!

    and while I LOVE my friends/family and hanging out...a lot of times I like to be alone too.

    Seriously so glad you wrote this!
