Throwback WEEK.

Do you remember when facebook (and myspace) had people doing the 25 things Challenge? It's odd that I can find NO online mention of my anxiety for leaving for college (although there are probably some heart wrenching emails) but I did find some other fun stuff that is worth enjoying the walk through memory lane. Some of it was boring, so I cut it out. This would have been the summer before my senior year of high school:

1. I'm intimidated by kittens. I've never been responsible for one (I have never actually held one) and they just seem really fragile in comparison to puppies.
  • I've held one, still don't see the fuss. Kittens are breakable. Points to young Paige. 

2. I have gone through 4 digital cameras in the last 4 years. I sold one to my brother, I gave one to alec, I threw one away, and I bought myself a new one this summer. I have bad luck.
  • I think I only had two more after this-- I'm pretty sure Stanley is the one I mentioned buying though, and he's still kicking. 

3.When I grow up, I'm going to live off the paleo diet.
  • Still true. Food is hard. 

4. I'm awful at buying clothes. Other than jeans, I can't make an outfit work. I just throw stuff together. I have this weird idea that moving to a big city will solve this, but I'll probably always be a fashion failure.
  • I joined a sorority and made friends with fashionistas. I'm lazy now, but not ignorant. 

5. I'm completely fascinated by baby food. I think it's awesome, how a whole meal can fit in a little jar. and that they have so many varieties.
  • Still true. I just want to feed all babies everywhere. 

6. I have never in my life been on a boat. [insert pop culture reference] This excludes paddle boats and fairies (which are mostly just big paddle boats).
  • Aha! I have since been on a boat, multiple times. I can even wakeboard. 

7.I think food is disgusting. There are probably only 3 or 4 meals that don't gross me out.
  • Friends, are you laughing now? I didn't make this up. 

8. I want to own a bakery when I grow up. go figure. I love to cook.
  • Hahahahahaha. I'm over that. Cooking makes everything hot, and I get bored too quickly. 

9.I took piano for 10 years, but only really liked it for 2.
  • I miss piano, so I have break up goggles over this. 

10. When I was younger, I was awful at naming things (moosey, fishy, kitty...) so now to make up for it I have ridiculous names for my pets. Like Walden Chandler, shakespeare amadeus, and Ricecake Eloise. If Godzilla was more mine than alecs, I would have given him the middle name Albadore.
  • My rats names were Moose and Elk, and my roommate let me name our fish Gertruida. Still true. Also, Ricecake Eloise is a boss ass name. 

11. I spend more money on my skin than any other part of my body. body gel, lotion, perfume, makeup, nail polish- none of it comes close to the amount of face wash I've tried.
  • And yet, I still look like I'm in highschool. Sorry to disappoint you, younger Paige. 

12. I'm self concious of people thinking I'm an attention whore, so I only play piano with headphones plugge in.
  • Still true, although it extends way beyond my piano playing. 

13. When I grow up, I would be perfectly content to become my Grammy.
  • duh.

14. Alec's house is like a vacation for me. My house is always very high energy and tense, where as his is very chill. Also, my hamsters live there, as does Scooter, who is quite possibly the most epic cat in the world.
  • That relationship, those hamsters, and the cat are all dead, and yet I still don't disagree with this statement. I love me some sturtz family. 

15. More than anything in the world, I hate the minivan. Not because it looks dorky. Never in my life have I been concerned with that. But because it is so big and unbalanced that a short clumsy girl has no place in it. Everytime I get in that car, I feel out of control and uncomfortable. This is why i don't have my license.
  • WHAT ARE YOU EVEN SAYING BABY PAIGE? That mini-van rocked. The only thing good that came out of losing it was that we got Jarvis in the process. 

16. I have a dorky rockstar crush on Max Bemis. He's not even pretty; I'm just a sucker for tortured guys that can play guitar.
  • Well, good. Some things never change. 

17. I've always wanted to be a bartender. I think it would be trendy.
  • Girl, you so trendy. You also came home smelling like beer every night. So less trendy in that regard.
