- I had an imaginary pet cat when I was little. I would pet it and imagine it running next to the car when my mom drove me to dance class.
- I did ballet for 13 years with some jazz, tap, and hip hop sprinkled in there. I wanted to be a ballerina and a dance teacher until middle school.
- I am super, super picky. I’ve never even tried a hamburger. I like certain brands and like things prepared a certain way.
- I had pretty paranoid of germs as a kid. I used so much hand sanitizer that the skin on my hands looked like elephant skin. I sat normal at school and on my knees at home to not spread germs. I only stepped on white tiles and never sat on the couch. I wouldn’t touch anywhere a fly had landed cause they like poop.
- My middle name is Starr, which I absolutely love.
- I can’t stand the song Frosty the Snowman. I don’t even know why.
- One of my biggest life goals is to write a best selling novel… and not have it turned into a movie.
- I used to have my brothers hide books from me so I could get my homework done. I miss curling up and reading for hours and hours.
- My dream car was a Jeep Commander. I got one a few years ago, and it was a disaster. One problem after another. I sold it to get a van, which I love.
- My husband and I actually made a deal when we got married that I would never drive a van and he would never ride a motorcycle. Never say never. (although, I don’t see the motorcycle thing happening anytime soon.)
- I was set up on a blind date with my husband. We actually grew up in neighborhoods next to each other, went to the same schools, and knew a ton of the same people. I’d love to know all the times we were in the same place and didn’t know it.
- My first job was working for a carnival. I helped set up, run, and take down inflatables, rock walls, and games. I loved it!
- I was registered to go on a study abroad to Paris and backed out three weeks before we were set to leave. There were a lot of reasons, and it was a hard decision, but let’s just say my husband owes me a trip to Paris someday!
- I love the fall! I love the smells of pumpkin and cinnamon. I love the colorful leaves and the chilly weather. I love wearing boots and jackets. I love making pumpkin chip cookies. Best time of the year.
- I have depression and anxiety. It took me a long time to admit that, but it explains so much about me.
- I majored in English and minored in editing. I was the English Sterling Scholar for my high school. I was on the literary magazine staff for two years and had several poems and essays published. I also worked as an editor for two years.
- I love quotes! I used to have my folders and notebooks covered in them. Sometimes I tape them up around the house or write them on the bathroom mirror.
- My favorite TV shows are FRIENDS, The Office, One Tree Hill, and Grey’s Anatomy. I also really like 911, Station 19, A Million Little Things, This is Us, New Amsterdam, Manifest, and The Resident right now.
- I got my Associates Degree in high school. I took concurrent enrollment classes, night classes at the community college, and summer school. It was all worth it, though.
- I am addicted to Dr. Pepper chap stick, Fiiz, chocolate, mini cupcakes, my cell phone, staying up way too late, and comfy clothes.
