1. I used to want to be a marine biologist. Mainly because I thought it was just the technical term for a dolphin trainer. Then I went on a deep sea fishing trip and learned that I can't handle being on a small boat without losing my breakfast. Sea life obviously wasn't for me.
2. In elementary and middle school, I would develop crushes on really obscure fictional characters. Not just in an "oh he's kinda cute" way. Like I would get so sad that these people weren't real that it made me cry. A few of these dream men were Tuxedo Mask from Sailor Moon, Dimitri from Anastasia, and a character from The Little Vampire named Rudolph.
3. My middle name is Kathleen, making my initials KKK. Now, before you start to feel bad for me for marrying into such a tragic grouping of letters, I must tell you that I was born into it. Kristen Kathleen Kennedy got in trouble in 1st grade for signing her initials onto a piece of artwork and had no idea why. Once my parents were questioned and sorted things out, it was fine.
4. I love guacamole, but hate avocados. It's a texture thing. I also won't eat mushrooms or any boiled vegetable. Basically anything squishy or slimy.
5. I will eat anything off the Taco Bell menu. I love it all.
6. I am an introvert and didn't discover this until college. I had an assignment where I was supposed to go to a business fair and interview a few company representatives, but the thought of that literally made me nauseous. So instead I looked up which companies would be there and found out the answers to the questions I was supposed to ask them on their company websites. I still got an A and didn't have to talk to anyone. Also, I choose doctors, hair salons, etc. based on whether or not they have an online appointment booking option. I recognize that it's probably pretty unhealthy.
7. I hate descriptive food words. If something tastes good, just say that it tastes good. There's no need to describe it as tender, moist, succulent, juicy, etc.
8. I actually really enjoy being outside when it's hot. And by hot I'm talking like 90+ degrees. I would much rather be sweating like a pig than freezing my tail off in below freezing weather.
9. I don't like coffee. I love the smell of it, but would much rather enjoy my caffeine cold and carbonated.
10. I took piano lessons for 10 years. I'll probably make Maggie take them too.
