The facts of Joey

I just love these kind of link ups!  I think they're a great way to really get to know the people behind the blog (and find new blogs to love!)

Fact: I used to ONLY drink soda.  To the extent that I would really only ever consume water if I'd already brushed my teeth and had to take a pill at night.  It's really sad when I think about it.

Fact: I am an emotional person.  I hardly ever make any decisions based on anything other than my feelings.  I realize this sounds bad, but it's just how I am.

Fact: I transferred colleges after one year to go where my love was.  I did what everyone discourages...and it actually worked out for me.

Fact:  I am painfully empathetic.  I habitually try to put myself in other people's shoes.  This is a blessing and a curse.

Fact: My best friend and I had classes together for two years before we became friends, and I actually didn't like her (or the idea of her) at first.  She was pretty, so I assumed she was mean (she's not).

Fact: My husband and I met when we were 13.

Fact: I am a homebody.  I'd much rather stay in then go out.

Fact: I hang on to stuff I'll probably never, ever need again because I have this overwhelming fear that the instant I throw it out or donate it, I'll realize a use for it.  (hoarder, much?)

Fact: I suck at sleeping.  If I don't take a sleep aid, I will lie away forever and ever.  And sometimes, even with a sleep aid, I'll wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to fall asleep.  I function on  zombie mode.

Fact: I'm a pretty good nanny...which is surprising considering I'm not the biggest fan of kids.

Fact: I cannot stand my nails "long."  And by long, I mean with any length to them at all.  I'm on the computer way too much for all that clacking.

Fact: If music didn't exist, I wouldn't be a writer.  I'm a total "mood music" person.  You can generally tell how I'm feeling just by what music I have playing.
