I wrote this whole post and somehow lost it. Man, those moments just blow.
Anyways, Kelly nominated me for this award and I had to oblige. I love these because I get to learn even more about some of my favorite bloggers out there. You all know plenty about me already but another go at it never hurts. (Also, rules in a short recap – tag back, five randoms, seven (+lucky 1) nomination!)
1. I walk fast. This is no exaggeration. I think it is years of having to keep up with my mom and her long legs that have caused this. I always have friends comment to slow down or what’s the rush. I mean it is just the way I roll. So if you waddle and then slow down as my train is pulling in, you will get a little huff. If you drag your Uggs as you slowly clomp down the hall, I will give you that side glance. PICK UP YOUR FEET. (I think this is primarily why I never got into the Ugg fad)
2. I am the most indecisive person around. Would you believe I have had the Healthy Living Summit on my web bookmarks since it came out and that I have visited it everyday debating about what to do. I can’t decide anything. I think it is because I am such a pros and cons type person so I always wonder the but ‘what if’. Makes life decisions very challenging.
3. I want to meet a blogger. Not in a creepy way but seriously I want to. I am sick of friends and family not getting this blogging thing. They laugh and just wonder why I choose to spend my time on the computer. They don’t get that blogging has given me a huge confidence boost, I feel for once that I can say what I want and be who I am. Only a fellow blogger could get that. 
4. I have a god sister. Ya, probably doesn’t really exist but I have one. My parents are her god parents so since we were younger, that is how we always thought of each other. I have known her since we were both quite young. My sister, Jenna and I were the inseparable three. My dad actually went to prom with her mom. Crazy. We all used to make up quality dances (Backstreet Boys and Shania Twain songs were all covered) and elaborate shows. Jenna and I were so close because we also did ballet together. Even though we never went to the same school, our friendship was beyond tight. All three of us even had our band ‘Buds’ (theme song and all). Distance may separate us but every time we are back together the memories flood back. I love that. Want to know a secret? Her mom let me read an essay she wrote about me in high school that talked about how she saw so much strength in me despite me seriously struggling with an eating disorder at that point. She saw through that disorder and still loved me. I almost cried when I read it. I hope we can pass the tradition on and our kids become god sisters as well. 
5. I am that person who will chat with anyone on public transportation. Of course not in a weird way but when someone asks me a question or wants to know about a shirt I am wearing, I am more than willing to have a long conversation with them. I kind of love the company and conversation. This makes me really seem like a weirdo. However, my stop is last so by the time I am almost to work the metro looks like this. So lonely. 
I nominate… because I want some juicy randoms about these awesome girls…
Maren @ Maren’s Morsels
Meg @ A Dash of Meg
Tessa @ Amazing Asset
Kate @ Work in Progress
Katie @ Katie Moves
Haley @ Health Freak College Girl
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats
and
Colleen @ The Chocolate Mile
Questions: What is a random fact about you? What is a term you use that others probably don’t?



I walk really fast too, I hate when people can’t keep up
I know, they got to build their speed me with! haha
Have you signed up for HLS yet?? ?SIGN UP!! This will be my first time at a blogger meet up and it would be SO MUCH FUN to have you there!!
I haven’t … I really need to. I keep going back and forth because of the money.
Haha,I walk fast,too! Everyone always complains… So annoying!
And if I’ live in the US,I would totally come visit you! I’d love to meet you in person,really!
I wish! Next time you are in the USA I better be the first to know!
I’m a fast walker too! I get impatient walking slowly. I’m also incredibly indecisive. Or am I? Maybe not… okay I am
I use LOADS of terms that others don’t! But that’s mostly the fate of a Canadian living in the UK. I get laughed at a lot for my crazy use of the English language. Pants refers to underwear here. The sidewalk is called the pavement. And when you ask for the bathroom… they think you’re actually looking for an actual bathtub.
Also, I definitely have to tone down my open friendliness in public- people here are more reserved with strangers and they think I’m crazy for talking to them in public! So yes, I would be the person on the other side of your public transport conversation!
ha, we are so similar in many of those cases. I would get so confused with all the lingo! some of those are just hilarious. Indecision is the worst.
Gahhh I want to go to HLS too!
Me too!
I want to meet a blogger too!! I wish I could teleport to the northeast, it seems like everyone lives over there haha
It is kind of true
But that means more reasons to visit!
ahhh lets try and meet up one weekend at eastern market!!!!!
Ah please? I heard Eastern Market is a great place to try all the samples and just explore on Saturday. I think I may have to start planning…
I want to meet some bloggers too! I love the blog community. Everyone is so cool!
I know, it is why I continue blogging, this community is so great!
I think it’s so cool that you chat with people on the metro
. You never know when someone might just need encouraging words or it might make someone’s day that you talked to them!
Come visit Charleston and you can meet a blogger
.
If I visit my sister in Charleston you will be the first to know! I mean it.
Ah, I totally want to meet a blogger too! I’m busy this weekend, but want to go get froyo some time/plan a legit blogger meetup like Tessa and the other Boston bloggers do? I think it’d be so fun! I’m at the end of the red line, sooo I know the whole empty metro thing. It’s weird.
We so should! I think that would be great. The red line breakdown this morning nearly killed me.
I heard about that! It was like super hot and people were passing out?? I also heard that metro is letting us bring WATER today/tomorrow! Which is awesome because I’m metroing to the airport tomorrow.
WHOA I had no idea, that is freaking insane. ya, it was a brutal commute.
It’s funny, me and my dad walk fast (thanks to long legs) and my mom (pushing 5 feet) is usually wagging (a term we use to refer to a weird walking + jogging combo) in an attempt to keep up. My friends always comment on how fast I walk, but if I have to slow down it just feels so weird.
Love the ‘wagging’. I may have to use that now… I know slowing down is almost not an option.
Haha! You are like my mom!! Whenever our whole family’s on the move, she’s 20 steps ahead of us. Like you, I am super indecisive, and I would also LOVE to meet a fellow blogger, such as yourself =). My family and friends def don’t understand this amazing blogging world =).
i love learning fun new facts about fellow bloggers! i’d actually love to meet a fellow blogger, too! i always see fun blogger meet-ups and think it’d be so much fun to meet the people i interact with on an almost daily basis!
I know, the meet ups make me so jealous!
yayyy thanks for the tag!!
I totally agree about blogging, it’s like a little community and no one gets it unless they join! I want to meet like EVERYONE haha! and yeah, i’m a fast walker too…i can’t stand being behind slow people! huge pet peeve!
Well deserved, can’t wait to read your post!
Woooh thanks for the nomination
I walk so fast. There were people in high school that would walk SO.SLOW. And they would be texting at the same time so they wouldn’t even know where they were going.
oh my gosh biggest pet peeve right there, especially when it is making them slower.
hahaha I’m the same way – I love talking to strangers and meeting bloggers….are you in Canada ??? we should meet up! ….in non-creepy ways
no, sadly I am in the US. Anytime you visit though you know where I am!
I’m indecisive too! I go back and forth, back and forth because I just like to give my decisions a lot of thought and do my research. This is great for life altering big decisions but sooooo annoying for little decisions. I can’t even go shopping for something small–nail polish, let’s say–without really debating if it’s a smart purchase or not
that is so true! little things make it even worse, get me in a grocery store and I’m a mess!
I am the same way with the fast walking! My friends in Chile were asking me to slow it down and they are much taller than I am.
haha that’s hilarious.
I use epic waaay too much to be considered normal & jello scares me
Oh my gosh I love jello… that blows my mind. I use epic a lot too.
I agree. I haven’t gone to a blogger met up but if I ever somehow make my way to Boston, I’ll come and visit you! HLS …. I’m waiting until I get some big bucks before doing so. Having to travel there … the plane ticket sounds costly. /: But I’m so happy for you that you have someone like Jenna!
I am so lucky to have her, well I wish I could make it to Boston too but the money just isn’t in the cards. If you are ever in DC, hit me up!
Oh pfft. For some reason I thought you lived in the Boston Area … my bad. I mixed up HLS with where you live. hahaha but yes D.C. I’ll hit you up.
Hahhaa I am the sameee way with walking fast! No one can keep up and when people get in my way… well let’s just say they had better MOVE IT
Gahh I am a jerk-face, I meant to thank you for the tag as well
oh please no problem!
I know! I feel so crazy when I get antsy behind them.
