I guess today is sort of a random brain dump of useless information about me... I called it things you might not know... but also thought of calling it the randomness from CJ's head....
So here you are...more random information than you will ever need about me...
❥ I am a HUGE Atlanta Braves fan.
❥ It is my mission to get LOL replaced with ILH (Insert Laughter Here). Why? I just can't stand LOL.
❥ I am an Olympics junkie and cannot wait for Friday night!
❥ Hearing my niece say I hold you is my most favorite thing to hear.
❥ I have watched You've Got Mail three times in the last five days. I want to be Kathleen Kelly....that's not odd...right?
❥ Watching You've Got Mail reminded me of how much 90's movies (and music if we are honest!) are still some of my favorites.
❥ I prefer twitter over facebook.
❥ I set my alarm on the sevens.
❥ I've written over 150 cover letters in the last 6 months. You would have thought someone would have said yes by now...
❥ I have always wanted to be a writer and didn't realize how much of a creative I was until 2 years ago.
❥ I plan my future European adventures in my head....almost on a daily basis.
❥ I have an idea for a book with a prologue and one chapter written... yet I am too scared to write it.
❥ Some days I am okay being single... some days it just sucks.
❥ I obsessive organize all the files on my computer... it's sort of ridiculous really.
❥ I really struggle with knowing what I want to do next in life. When I list my passions (which range from books to flowers to being an advocate for trafficking victims) I sometimes wonder how it all fits.
❥ I prefer texting and emails to phone calls.
❥ I dream of having a girls night on the town with my favorite friends wearing rockin dresses and fabulous shows.
❥ I get obsessed with certain colors and use them constantly for a while. (I bet you could guess what colors I am currently obsessed with....)
❥ I am very much an introvert but you probably could not tell from meeting me online. haha!
❥ I am a very different person from who I was...even from a year ago... I like the changes. I feel much more like...me.
❥ When things are rough I usually marathon my favorite shows or read a favorite book...and usually consume too much chocolate.
❥ Story of my life....
Your turn! Share some things I might not know about YOU in the comments!
Love these things, and how even after knowing someone for years you can learn new things!
*I'm a native Californian but I *hate* avocados.
*I've stood on a sand dune in the Arabian desert, but I've never been to NYC.

We are kindred spirits!
*I recently have become addicted to audio books...I'm currently watching tv, on the computer, and listening to an audiobook.
*I have the first 5 chapters of about 100 stories written, 2 finished books, and one nearly finished book.
*I have an idea for a bibles study based on the ladies bathroom, the member's study book would have pictures of key bible study leader's bathroom and then the dvds would be filmed in some of the famous hotel bathrooms.
*I'm in a strange place, emotionally & spiritually.

Thanks for the post! It's really great getting to know you more (even if it's online! hah!). We're remarkably similar, it's kind of scary, haha!
-I love love love hockey. Even though my favourite team is Detroit, I will sit through any game because I love the game itself. I also hold onto this love of the sport because it was something my brother and I would do together. A good memory of him.
-I want to travel anywhere and everywhere. The idea of actually seeing the world through my own eyes is very exciting! As of right now, I have only travelled to a few States and around Canada... so depressing.
-I'm a lot more 'talkative' on the internet. In person, I'm quiet and super duper awkward.
-I like the idea of getting married, but I'm not sure if it fits into the dreams I have. I'm okay with that.
-I have an extreme fear of needles, but believe it or not, I have gotten pierced 13 times.
:)

What a fun list. Let's see what I can come up with:
- I can't wait for college football season but I can wait for school to start
- I'm not ready to have a baby but I think about pregnancy a lot
- It drives me NUTS when a parent introduces me as "Brooke" to their 2-18 year old. My name is Mrs. Miller to those kids and I don't know how to politely correct the parents. So far I have no solution except to inwardly seeth and harbor less respect for the parents.
- I miss living in the South and living in Michigan
- I'm a pretty even split between both my parents because the both poured so much of themselves into me
Thanks for asking!
