25 Random Things about Gena

I did this on Facebook. I thought it was cool, so I added it here...
1. I am the queen of procrastination. My life has been on the brink of disaster numerous times as a direct result of procrastinating something. "Why do it today when you can do it tomorrow" is not a good motto to live by.
2. I am so amazed with my husband's unconditional love for me. He is the best person ever for me! We knew each other in high school. Years later, when we were reconnected, I knew that I would marry him from the moment we started talking again.
3. I can't dance to rock music. I don't have a strong enough internal rhythm- I need something more like hip-hop to really shake my tail feather.
4. My greatest hero will always be my mother.
5. I am intensely loyal to very few people in this world. But for these people, I would walk through fire.
6. Despite my confident facade, I typically do not feel that I am ever good enough.
7. I am full of contradictions. I blame this on being a Gemini. I can argue something passionately one minute and tell someone something different the next minute. Some people think this is flaky. It's really not- I just can really identify with all points of view. And I tend to be very passionate.
8. I am often misinterpreted. In fact, it has been a common theme throughout my life.
9. I often feel like people only pretend to like me and that they secretly can’t stand me.
10. Despite numbers 6 through 9, I really like myself. Despite really liking myself, it does not stop me from feeling that way.
11. My favorite breakfast food is oatmeal. It has been oatmeal since I was a little girl.
12. My Opa (grandfather) once told me, when I hadn't visited in quite some time, that one day he will not be around and that I will regret not having seen him more often. I felt very angry with him at that moment. But he was right...
13. I deeply regret not having gone to graduate school directly after undergrad. I am worried that life will pass me by and I will never have gone back.
14. I often feel like I should have accomplished much more by my age, travelled more, learned more, done more, made a bigger impact...
15. I always had a secret desire to be a go-go dancer. (It is supposed to be random…)
16. I absolutely adore hanging out in bed all day (get out of here dirty minds!!). I love the coziness of it- especially on a rainy day with a sappy movie to watch.
17. I watch way too much TV and don’t get out and exercise nearly enough.
18. I went to college to become a pastor. I know! My friends now probably have no idea about that. Some of my old friends probably think I’ve lost salvation. But I switched my major from Pastoral Studies to Psychology after I interned in a church. I decided I just couldn’t live my life inside a church. I just cannot make myself conform to one ideology when there are so many questions roaming around in my head. Needless to say, since then my beliefs have changed and expanded quite a bit.
19. I think I may have been a cat in a past life. I can take a nap just about anywhere. I can take 20 naps in a day and still go to bed at night.
20. I have zero patience for outright stupidity and hypocrisy.
21. I have the tendency to use way too many exclamation points!!!!
22. I almost died in a car accident. It has had the single most impact on my life and how I live it. I leave the giant scar across my forehead as a reminder to do my best to live genuinely and authentically and without ever feeling guilty for following my instinct. No matter what anyone else says. I leave it to remind myself to not live my life according to someone else’s rules.
23. When I go back to visit Minnesota, I definitely feel like I am visiting. It feels like a place I used to live…
24. When I was in first grade I hid a bologna sandwich under my bed. I thought I was doing a really good thing. You see, if something were to happen, like being snowed in the house for weeks, which could happen you know, well then I could have a stash of food so that we wouldn’t starve! My dad found that bologna sandwich, after I had long forgotten about it, because it stunk so badly. Odd little girl….
25. I used to have horses as a child and I miss it terribly. I didn’t even think about it for years, but within the last couple years I have been craving to go riding again. I keep pestering Rick to buy me a horse. I think he will give in one of these days… Right honey?!?
