It is 6:05am and I cannot sleep so I'll break down and do this survey thing. That is if my confounded cats will stay out my face!
1. I like almost any kind of vegetable...except brussel sprouts and asparagus. They make me want to retch. I also won't usually eat any kind of pepper.
2. I despise it when people say I'm shy. I have fought that misconception for years. I used to be painfully shy though and have moved SO far past "that Robyn" that people from my shy years would not recognize me. Yes, I'm introverted and reserved, in general, but when you get to know me-I am not. I will literally hit someone who knows better and calls me shy...to this day. I'm not even joking.
3. I am an insomniac some nights. It depends on the night on how intense the insomnia asserts itself.
4. My favorite cartoon growing up was Little Audrey. At least it was the most memorable one. I had a copy of it on VHS (does that date me or what?).
5. I have OCD tendencies when it comes to things being in their place and clean. It is especially apparent at work. Haha. I do have loopholes to that statement however...
6. I don't wear shoes if I don't have to.
7. I find it especially thrilling and freeing to be on the back of a motorcycle. It gets my endorphins going and relaxes me. I have no desire to learn how to ride a motorcycle at this time however.
8. I haven't had a car of my own for 3 years now.
9. My favorite christian band for years has been FFH. I get a huge grin on my face whenever I hear them come on the radio or hear their music. The Lord brings me peace through their music.
10. I get saddened when friends of mine and I lose touch with each other. It is inevitable in some cases but it is sad all the same. It's like I lose an important chink in my heart/armor from this world.
11. I used to be obsessed with watching "Punky Brewster". Now if that doesn't date me, nothing will!
12. I was once hit in the middle of the back with a metal golf club by a neighbor boy with behavioral problems (in CA). He was not nice about it either. I wonder if that is why I don't like golf to this day...haha.
13. I tried out for the tennis team in high school but lacked the skill to make on the team. Imagine that. I also was on the track team in jr. high for a short time. I do regret quitting track. People called me the "red flame". I'm not sure if they were being sarcastic or not. I wouldn't be called that these days, haha.
14. I was a candidate for Mr. & Mrs. Merry Christmas my senior year with my friend Ben Banks (I believe). It was the only time I accepted the nomination from my classmates for something like that. That is usually because they tried to pair me with Sam Martin because they thought it would be cute to have the "shy" people together. It annoyed me. Haha.
15. I started my own card-making business last year. It has been put on the backburner since then due to lack of hours in a day to work 2-3 jobs PLUS my own business. I WILL return to it asap however.
16. I love discovering new artists and music...and thus, expanding the repertoire of music I listen to.
17. I still have pictures that friends and/or family have drawn for me. I believe an old one from Emma is on my refrigerator right now...along with one from David and Hailey. 
18. It is difficult for me to come up with facts about myself. I don't like talking about myself, contrary to what some people may believe.
19. I LOVE to take photographs of what catches my eye. They are not professional photos by any means but I enjoy the process. Trees and/or nature is one of my usual subject matter. However, I don't like my picture taken by others. It makes me act defensive, mildly hostile (openly hostile sometimes), and un-natural. It is hard for me to relax around cameras needless to say. Besides, I am not photographic by nature.
20. Unless there is a specific purpose for using them, I don't like to look in mirrors. I suppose I'm afraid of what I'll see...or perhaps, I'm afraid the glass will break out of fear  . I don't know.
21. I have psychological issues with sardines and tabasco sauce...not because of the actual objects but because of the memories regarding them. You'll see me move away from them some and give them a wary glance because I can't control my reaction to them initially.
22. I rarely wear makeup or dress up in any way. Other people's reactions toward me when I do those things amuse me though.
23. Ice and I do not get along. I'm a paranoid freak on ice. No joke. The same goes for advanced math and myself (hate-hate relationship). Haha.
24. I have tri-colored eyes. Most people naturally assume they are only green...but they are wrong. That is just the dominant color. I have blue bordering the green with brown flecks in them. I have no idea who I inherit the green eyes from in my family.
25. Until a few years ago, my sister and I didn't get along very well. Thus, we didn't know each other. I'm happy to say that both facts have changed since then. We are more alike than I ever realized (deep down). Shocker, huh?
Bonus: I once participated in a Jump Rope For Heart event with an imaginary jump rope (because I couldn't jump rope when I held it myself). Haha, yes I am special like that!
