"This page is chock-full of colorful tidbits about Emily and her life."

  1. When I was younger I would write essays to my parents to argue whatever point we would be in disagreement about.  (curfew, moving bedrooms, etc)
  2. In high school, at a party, I remember trying to get a friend to drink (Amber) and I have always felt horrible about it.
  3. I eat one thing on my plate at a time, usually clockwise starting at the bottom.
  4. I line up my skittles by color whenever I eat skittles - which is rare - and eat them left to right.
  5. I dont mind spending the weekend evenings at home.
  6. I sometimes feel inadequate to be one of Christ's own, thinking I will never grow spiritually enough to really love Him.  Then I think about all that He has brought me out of and done for me. 
  7. I don't ever second guess or doubt my salvation through Christ.
  8. I tell restaurants I am allergic to nuts so they will make sure not to put them on my order - I really just don't like the texture.

  10. I have always looked up to my brother. 
  11. I love chocolate.  Once, my brother told me a spoon of dirt was chocolate (I saw him take it from the ground).  I ate it.
  12. Even though I live alone, I sometimes feel I have to "sneak" foods.  Once when I was little, I was eating the Nestle from the can and heard Mom come home so I hid under the island in the kitchen - you could totally see me.
  13. In high school, I ate a 3 Muskateers, Sour Cream and Onion chips, mustard,  and a Dr Pepper every day at lunch.  I miss the days of an awesome metabolism.
  14. Yes, you read that correctly - I like to dip my Sour Cream & Onion chips in mustard.

  16. I dont like to lay out and tan.
  17. I love looking at the Sunday ads.
  18. I enjoy reading other people's secrets on PostSecret.com and wonder what sort of secret I could send in.

  20. Also, Nothing Bundt Cakes are yummy. 
  21. I cry at most of movies.
  22. I would love to live in the Caribbean so I could scuba dive every weekend.
  23. I wish I were more confident to share the Gospel to others - instead I only half-way rely on relationship evangelism.
  24. I dont like telling people what I do at work because I can see their face glaze over with boredom because they dont understand.  I have tried to come up with a simplified version for them.
  25. When I was little, one of my favorite movies from the library was Darby O'Gill and the Little People  and even though I had seen it a ton of times, I still thought the banshee's were scary.
  26. I have a strange affinity for spreadsheets.
  27. I love order, but don't always keep it.

  50. As of August 2008,  my top 3 spiritual gifts (really 4, there is a tie for 3rd place) are 1. Faith, 2. Administration, 3. Helps/Works and Exhortation.  I date this as of August 2008 because I beleive that while there are some spiritual gifts that you have forever, but I also beleive that some come and go as needed.
  51. When I was little, I always imagined that someone was under my bed and was going to stick needles full of drugs in me while I was asleep - and then I guess kidnap me, I am not sure what happens after the needles.  And, I am not sure where this vision came from.  Weird, I know.
