5. I hate the Twilight books and movies. A lot.
6. I was homeschooled besides a few classes in high school, and loved it (most of the time). Considering how surprised people are sometimes when they hear this, I guess my parents did a good job since my siblings and I aren't complete social rejects. ;)

15. I play the ukulele and some piano, and when I was little I played the violin.
16. I'm a pyromaniac, thanks to my older brothers. :) Maybe it has something to do with my red hair...?
17. I am almost always barefoot if at all possible.
18. I don't like seafood.
19. I love country music
20. ...and I'm a Mormon. ;)

30 Things

One thing I have noticed about this blog is that 90% of the content is just pictures. I've been wanting to do some more writing but haven't really had anything that I wanted to write much about. 

Today, I saw that my lovely friends Emma and Autumn are completing this 30 question survey on their blogs and it inspired me to do the same. I probably won't do it in order, and I might not do them all, but I figure this is a good way to get myself writing more. That's what a blog is for after all, right? 

I've already started working on some of the questions so be looking for them in the next several days! :)
