I'm not sure...

I am Elizabeth Bennet!

Take the Quiz here!

You are Elizabeth Bennet of Pride & Prejudice! You are intelligent, witty, and tremendously attractive. You have a good head on your shoulders, and oftentimes find yourself the lone beacon of reason in a sea of ridiculousness. You take great pleasure in many things. You are proficient in nearly all of them, though you will never own it. Lest you seem too perfect, you have a tendency toward prejudgement that serves you very ill indeed.

Finally



So I was tagged about three months ago and then again two months ago so here are 6 quirky/habits about myself:


1-I still sleep with my blanky I had when I was a little girl. Every night I get into bed, make sure I have it, and then cuddle it up around my neck. Lucas does the exact same thing when he goes to bed with his blanky which is so funny to see my quirks in him.

2-I hate going to the bathroom. I will hold it for as long as possible. I even do the potty dance sometime, and I have even had employees ask me if i need to go the bathroom (A little embarrassing in the workplace).

3- When i am hungry/tired/in a bad mood I hate everything. Ned could tell me I get to buy a new pair of shoes I would be mad if I was in any of those emotional states.

4- I hate sharing food. i would rather have my left overs from dinner go bad than to share it with Ned.

5- I am very particular about markers, highlighters, and pens. People that push hard on markers and ruin the nice crisp point should not be allowed to use them. I even have my own pack of ten highlighters that I use take to and from work daily. Also if i use a pen once and it skips then it is going directly to the garbage no second chances.

6- Ever since I saw "So I think you can dance" I have wanted to be a hip hop dancer. I never really knew what it was until then, and it would be awesome to dance that way. I have even looked into beginner class. Plus the music makes me feel young.
