Hi. My name's Makeli. What's your's?

Day 1- A picture of yourself and 15 random facts. 

That's me. Unfortunately that's not a recent picture. It's just a picture. It's a picture that was over a year ago. It's crazy to think of! Let's jump right into these facts shall we?!


1- I am obsessed with Disney. I'm not sure if this is a random fact, but it sure is a fact. I do believe Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth. I do believe I can be a princess in Disneyland one day. I do believe in happily ever after. I can quote almost any Disney movie like the back of my hand. The only thing I can do better than Disney movie quotes, are songs from Disney movies. If you ever need any help with anything Disney, I am your expert.


2- I love the Olympics. I think this especially appropriate considering they are going on right now. It is so fascinating to me to watch these amazing athletes compete in a world competition. It's so cool to think of all the hard work they've put into what they do and to see it pay off. On the flip side, it's heart breaking to watch some of their dreams shattered when they don't reach their goal. It definitely gives me a sense of some serious USA pride. (Plus...there are just some good looking athletes competing. Holla Ryan Lochte!)


3- I am left handed. This is one of those facts I use in a "getting to know you on the first day of class" setting. I do almost everything left handed. I hate writing left handed because when I feel particularly lazy, I drag my hand across my writing and get ink and lead all over the side of my arm. It's awesome.


4- I love Country Music. Whatever anyone else says is irrelevant. 


5- I love dogs. Especially my dog Sadie. No one else is as loyal as she is. She can always make me smile and feel better.

6- Cats are not my favorite. I know where this one came from. hahahaha. But even though my Dad may not be the biggest cat lover, I can say I definitely agree with him. Especially living in Hawaii. There are stray cats everywhere and they are KILLER annoying. No bueno.


7- I live in Hawaii and attend BYU-Hawaii. Does that count as two facts? I've lived here for about a year now. Weird... Anyways! I'm about to be a Junior. My potential graduation date is April 2014 and it pretty much can't come sooner. I really do love it here. It may be school but...it's in Hawaii. It's sunny for 9 months of the year, and rains the other 3. All around, it's exciting. I love the culture, the people, the teachers, the classes, the beach, the ocean, all of it,


8- I do actually enjoy sports. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Would I want to sit on the couch for hours at a time watching sports? No. (Unless it's the Olympics. Different story.) But a game here and there is exciting. Football with the family. Basketball games with the family. Soccer games with the family. While sports is a factor, the common factor here is my family. They are what makes it exciting and oh so worth it.


9- Music runs through my veins like blood. I love music. Everything about it. I love most genres and can put up with all of them. I love listening to music but being able to play music is much better to me. It's a way of self expression that is beyond description.


10- I like reading. There is something so good about curling up with a good book. I have too many favorites to name but some good ole Harry Potter or Jane Austin can always take an edge off. Yes. Sometimes I even read classic novels for fun. Call me a weirdo. So be it.


11- I have a perfect driving record. HA! That was for all of those people who wouldn't think so. I have never gotten a ticket, ran a red light, or got in an accident. Thank goodness I don't drive here in Hawaii. It takes some of the pressure off.


12- I have never broken a bone. I have had a concussion but never a broken bone. It's kind of amazing considering that I am extremely clumsy. I have most definitely had my fair share of bumps and bruises though. Those are definitely common.


13- I am kind of on the superstitious side. I'm not a crazy person with it though. But yes...I did knock on wood twice for those two random facts above. I throw spilled salt over my left shoulder. I believe in good and bad luck. But, I have never had a terrible Friday the 13th. (Knock on wood.)


14- I love to bake. I totally regret not taking more advantage of my mother's amazing cooking but serious baking skills. Who knew how much help it would be in college?! I have done some practicing so there are some recipes I have tucked under my belt. I will gladly challenge anyone to a baking contest.  


15- I am contagiously happy. Not to say that I'm not sad or angry on some days. Because I am. We all are. But for the most part you can find me with a smile on my face. I love being happy. I kind of think that being a  downer is a waste of time. (Unless it's one of "those" days. Then it's a different story.) I love to make other people smile and laugh. There's no other joy to me, than to see other people happy. 


Day 1 down. 29 to go. :D
