Photo Booths.

Fact: Photo booths make me incredibly happy. 

And sometimes I think of them as time machines.

Strawberry Fields Forever...

Fact: When I was younger I used to eat strawberries like there was no tomorrow. Seriously... I went through them like they were gong out of style. It got to the point that my parents began telling me that the reason I had red hair was because of my excessive strawberry intake. And I believed them. I told anyone who asked me where I got my red hair, (strangers, relatives, teachers, friends, the produce man at the grocery store, seriously anyone), that it was because I ate so many strawberries. And I did it up until the age of 5... when Mrs. Sebastian, my kindergarten teacher, called home and told my parents it was probably time to explain to me that fruit couldn't change a person's hair color. To this day, even though my love of strawberries has died down to that of the average American, I still tell the occasional person that asks me how I got my bright red hair, in all seriousness: "Strawberries."

Puffy Jacket...

Fact: Some times I look at my baby photos whenever I need a pick me up. They usually make me wish I was little again and almost always leave me wondering "what the heck was I thinking?!" 

I call this one "Obsessive Compulsive Eater" 

(And I have to admit, my fashion choices were pretty amazing too)

The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow...

Fact 473: I have always and will always be a pale kid. 

The sun and I have a love/hate relationship that has caused me to put a hold on our friendship in recent years. I tend to only meet with him after I've caked on gallons upon gallons of sunblock. And even then it's the 95 spf that's meant for infants. I love the sun... I don't love the sunburn. The burns that cause my skin to change from fire engine red to eggplant purple. The sunburns that make me immobile for at least the next two to three days after. The burns that take forever to finally peel and be done with... only to repeat the process a week later. I have had a farmer's tan the majority of my summers... and it looks like this summer is going to be no exception. I try to stay inside till the sun goes down, but fact of the matter is that the sun will always come out tomorrow...

The Bigger the Better...

Fact: I'm always intrigued by large man-made objects, especially if they are gigantic. The more they make me feel like an ant... the more I just marvel at them. Seriously. I can't comprehend that another human being made something that large, whether it be power lines or the Eiffel Tower. It's just amazing... and don't even get me started on naturally occurring giants. Trees, Giraffes, Elephants-- the list goes on and on...
