A group of jellyfish is called a 'smack' (my collection of random facts)

1. I am a Post Secret addict. I'm also a little obcessive compulsive about it; I know that new secrets are only posted on Sundays but I check the site periodically during the week just in case. I've always wanted to send a secret in, but I never have. I feel like none of my secrets are good enough.

2. I feel personally responsible for everything and everyone around me. I used to think this was a good thing because it made me a responsible person. Now I'm pretty sure that my anxiety is a direct result of this.

3. I love being in the car with my family. We once spent a month driving from New Jersey to California, and it is probably my best childhood memory. I willingly went on the trips the past two summers which involved driving out to California one summer and back to Louisiana the following summer. Even with a baby, it was fun!

4. I'm afraid of the dark ... a lot. To put it in perspective, I've laid on an operating table three times and wasn't ever scared, but I'm still afraid of the dark. If I'm home alone there are plenty of lights and a television on. I sometimes also keep my pepper spray and cell phone on me. I do not think this is an irrational fear considering that not long ago my apartment was broken into in the middle of the night.

5. I flip-flop on my opinions more than the average politician. Half of what I say is hypocritical of the other half of things that I say. Its not because I'm ignorant or anything; I'm just really indecisive.

6. I don't think college is all that great. Its a LOT of studying and in most of my classes I still don't really care about what I'm learning.

7. My mood can generally be predicted by the weather. ie sunny day equals happier Bekah and rainy day equals sadder (my spell-check says its a word!) Bekah. I do not mean to say that I don't occasionally have bad days that are sunny and good days when there is gloomy weather. It is just a general rule of thumb (where did that expression come from anyways? does it even make sense? ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thumb).

8. Wish I was more artistic. I've always hoped that I was good at drawing or painting, but I'm not. I'm not even that talented with music.

9. I love my sisters. Some of my best childhood memories are playing pretend games with Rachel when we were younger. Also, I pretty much can't say no to my little sisters when they cry. Their little tears break my heart. Despite how hard as I am on them sometimes, I'm such a sucker!

10. I rarely open up to people yet it upsets me how very few people actually know me. (see I told you I was hypocritical!)

11. I'm really random if you haven't noticed by all my little comments in this note! I'm also very random (and hyper) when I've had caffeine and/or sugar!

12. I spend waaaay too much time on computers. I work almost 20 hours a week in the computer lab and if I can't get all my work done there I end up spending even more time later on a computer!

13. I'm a really big dork. I look up anything I hear that I don't know so I end up using Wikipedia lots! And I absolutely love watching the Discovery Health. Obscure diseases and disorders facinate me.

14. I'm not one to follow the crowd. It took me a really long time to write this note because I didn't really want to post it. Also, I didn't strive for any particular amount of points, 16 or 25 or whatever it is supposed to be. I'll write as long as I want and end it at whatever number I feel like... With that said, I don't like odd numbers so I had to end on an even number. I'm just a little OCD about pointless things like that!
