I'm It...Again

So, Stephanie Butterfied tagged me, and I really don't mind, since being tagged in this game doesn't have anything to do with running. I'll try to make this quick:

10 Years Ago
Ten years ago I was a sophomore at Lehi High school, in the second half of my school year. It was the first blissful months of my first heavy-duty crush (that lasted about 7 years), the crush that turned to love, and the love that left me heartbroken and insecure through most of high school. You know that song, "The Dance" by Garth Brooks? You know that part that says "and I'm glad I didn't know/ The way it all would end/ The way it all would go./ And if I ever had the chance/ I could've missed the pain/ But I'd have to miss the dance." So, it basically means that all that pain was worth it because you had that one moment? Not true--if fact, a bucket full of lies. If I had known then what I know now, I would have run screaming in the opposite direction completely, gotten out of my seminary class (where I frequently flirted with the so-said-crush), and enjoyed dating and kissing lots of different boys. I really regret the time and effort that was put into that idiot. But it's all over now, and I have eternity with a wonderful person that loves me completely and has single-handidly squashed the insecurity and the self doubt that had continually built up over the last seven years--and he did it all in the first two weeks we met.

Snacks I Enjoy
So I love snack foods. Mostly potato chips and dip, but that just isn't possible anymore--Weight Watchers would kill me. So lately I have been snacking on Mango--when they are cut into strips, they look like french fries and are sweet, so it makes me feel like I'm not missing anything (I love french fries, too). I eat A LOT of 94% fat free popcorn. I also have been getting into the 100 calorie packs, specifically the Cheeto Astroids. I also LOVE LOVE LOVE rice krispie treats--I always make room for those in a diet.

Things People Don't Know About Me
1. I am very insecure--currently on the mend, thanks to my sweetheart
2. I don't like to meet new people. I like them to meet me.
3. I have a hard time beginning a conversation. I can do my end, but I never initiate.
4. I hate the telephone. I don't even know where my cell is right now, or if it is even charged. And I don't care.
5. I hate the summer. It's way too hot.
6. I am afraid of dogs--big dogs that bark loud, and little dogs that yap and jump on you. I don't mind medium-sized dogs as long as they are quiet and the don't jump on me.
7. I am very ticklish
8. I read the whole Twilight series, but I don't think it's the best book in the world. It's kind of ehh.

I Tag
No one. I don't mind playing, but I don't like initiating.
