words.

I have been in a writing mood for awhile but haven't taken the chance to just sit down and write. most of the time i sit down about 20 people are watching over my shoulder, and obviously it would be kinda awkward to write with them right there so i like, turn off the browser and look at old pictures. eventually they go away but not for very long. anyways, tonight is a really laid back night. the three oldest are away in missouri and the little girls are watching some penguin show...i'll pass.

the past couple of months have been pretty busy, i feel like second semesters always are...lots of essays and quizzes and tests to turn in for final grades for my classes and stuff, and trying to figure out what i'm doing for school next year.
I can't think of anything significant to write about so i'm gonna post this 25 things about me thing I did on facebook awhile ago. if something else comes to my mind i'll let you know later.

1. I bite my ice cream. its fun.
2. I have never eaten an olive
3. sometimes I forget how to spell my name. it eventually comes back to me.
4. I grew up in chicago. its green and beautiful and sometimes i wonder how a place like california can be on the same planet.
5. i like to eat my popcorn with lemon pepper on it. true story.
6. I met my best friend in chicago by knocking her over while riding my bike
7. when I was 9 I had shingles for two months. still got scars and everything. it was scary
8. i take pride in having a greek heritage. not sure why. people call me the greek geek.
9. I hate milk. I think it's gross that people drink liquid that came out of cows. i mean seriously, all they know how to do is moo and eat grass. i'm surprised it doesnt make people stupid.
10. i love bananas. i could live off of them.
11. when i was four i chopped off all my hair
12. when me and sierra bates where in middle school we would go into my closet and write stories
13. i am probably one of the most casual people you will ever meet. i would wear sweats and a t shirt to the store while my little sister dresses up to walk down stairs.
14. i have 6 siblings...plus a few others we've sorta adopted
15. i have only been to disneyland twice
16. i have a lot of nicknames. my dad calls me chloe. oh and this one is weird, my aunt from new zealand calls me her matarikan princess daughter. weirddd.
17. i DESPISE in n out. their burgers are slimy and their fries are really skinny.
18. i love rain with a passion. whenever it rains people are like..."aww i'm so sad.." i dont get that. why would water falling from the sky make someone sad? its beautiful.
19. i love photography.
20. i love music, almost everything except for taylor swift
21. i have had like 20 gold fish, and the longest time that any of them lived was like 2 weeks, its name was turkey.
22. i broke my wrist playing dodgeball at my first night at youth group.
23. one time when me and my cousin jessy were at this beach somewhere we caught 23 jellyfish with big buckets cause they were everywhere, we burried them in the sand
24. my cousin is my best and favoritest friend.
25. my sister is my hero and i love her so much.

and here's a oldie from New Zealand, hard to believe that 14 hour flight to that wonderland was almost a year ago. anyways, I don't think I have ever posted without a picture, lets not break that trend.
