I’m commenting to challenge you to a blog throw down of sorts (if you don’t watch Food Network, this reference will be meaningless). Anyways, on November 11th I will be posting a collection of 11 random things about myself (facts, pet peeves, sayings, hobbies, hopes, dreams, etc.). I challenge (invite) you to join me in doing the same on Nov. 11th, and then we can link to each others’ blogs and it will be awesome. This is a random idea of mine, but I thought it would be fun to have some community with blog friends. I’m challenging others, and feel free to invite other to participate. So, what say you? Do you accept this challenge?
I accept. And in true Food Network fashion, "A La Blog!"
1. I'm an introvert. Almost to a T. It took me a while to admit this, I always thought it was negative. But it's not, it's me. So there you go, and boy, it feels good!
2. I made a pact with my (boy) next door neighbor when I was 12 years old that if we both weren't married by 30, we'd marry each other...we're both almost 24 and still single. :|
3. Ever heard about the Legend of Bloody Mary? A 5th grade boy told me about it on the bus home from kindergarten when I was 5 and I'm still too afraid to look into a mirror in the dark.
4. I fear the future. That sounds funny. Not my own future (God's got that under control), but the future around me I guess. The future of America. The future of cars. The future of electronics. I feel like we're already so advanced in so many ways, it freaks me out to think about where we'll be in 10, 20, 50 years.
5. I'm listening to Christmas music right now. And not afraid to admit it.
6. People that can't finish something absolutely drive me nuts. For example: Let's say you're going to take the last handful of pretzels out of a bag, but feel bad so you put two single pretzels back in to be nice; NEWS FLASH it's not nice, it's a tease. Who really wants two pretzels? Then not only are the pretzels gone, the victim has to dispose of the bag for you too!
7. I really wish I knew how to play the guitar. The idea of just being able to grab a guitar and sing and worship with people or for people is so amazing to me.
8. I can bend my left index finger back and touch the top of my hand. But only the left.
9. Sick, my favorite sandwich to make when I was younger was mayonnaise and craft singles inside a pita pocket, in the microwave for 30 seconds...and now I'm a vegan, go figure.
10. I can't say 'pancake,' it comes out 'paincake' and 'enchilada' comes out 'ahnchilada.' I'm not sure why or when it happened, but I think it's safe to blame that one on the Mom :)
11. It's Denholm tradition that you get to pick your birthday cake, any cake, and Mom would make it. For a good 17 out of 23 birthdays I requested the same cake, Mom's Chocolate Chocolate Chip Chocolate Cake. Chocolate cake with chocolate chips and chocolate icing, all from scratch, all delicious.
So there you have it. Challenge complete.

Yes! I am an introvert as well, almost 100% according to myers-briggs. And I feel you on #4 about the future.
I think that sandwich you ate as a kid might actually be the reason you are a vegan now. Gross.
This was fun! I have some good ideas about blog challenges we can do in the future, so we should make this a tradition!
i did it! i was a day late, but my 11 is up :)
If it makes you feel any better, I happen to know a certain Denholm who pronounces "orange" as "ahrnge." You guys must be from the north or something ;)
