"I do not like them, Sam-I-Am. I do not like green eggs and ham."
3-7y/o because this story teaches you to try new things and I think thats an important lesson to learn at a young age.
Yes, because I don't like eggs, but this book made me try them anyways.

Child's Play

4.) In middle school, I met this girl and we instantly became friends. At then end of eighth grade, we had been through all the trials and changes of middle school. We had both become extremly different people from when we first met. She was moving on to more mature, older friends. She had her first tattoo by the time we hit 10th grade. The crowd she got into wasn't really my style at the time. We actually didn't talk much at all aside from the occasional hello. She ended up graduating a year early. We actually still keep in touch through social media though. Our paths are back on similar tracks.
10.) The party I remember most is my 6th birthday. I have a summer birthday, so I was one of the last of my friends to turn 6. I had a pool party because I loved being in the sun. My mom made dirt cake, my favorite at the time, and I had all my best friends over. We splashed around for a couple hours and then opened presents and ate cake. It was a great day. I would love to relive that.
12.) I have a level 4 heart murrmor that has developed over the past decade, but other than that I'm a very healthy child. I did struggle with my ears a lot when I was younger though. I would get ear infections all the time and was in a lot of pain. I had my tonsils taken out when I was 2 and I also got tubes. I eventually grew out of my ear infections. I didn't break any bones until middle school, thankfully. I did loose a tooth in a nasty bike wreck when I was about 7. My sister pushed me off the sidewalk onto the grass while I was biking with her and I flipped over an electric box. I busted my face up pretty bad. I lost one of my teeth and loosend a couple others. This was also right before I got my first set of braces.

Keeping it Real (like Dan)

2.) Always have patients. We are doing our best and when you yell it makes things 300% worse. Just take a breath and remember that you were a teenager at one point too. Sometimes we need to be put in check, but if you can see that we are trying and you continue to yell at us, it just makes the situation worse.
5.) I think you should date whenever you feel ready, but that's coming from a person who is 17 and still doesn't feel ready. I think a lot of people feel that relationships are just super easy and all fun and happiness, but I'm terrified of them because I see the responsibility that they come with, and I'm just not ready for that. But hey, if you feel like you can handle it, then go for it.
Also, I think if you re old enough to go purchase your own underwear and do your own laundry, then you can wear whatever you want. Just do what you think is comfortable.
Falling in love doesn't magically happen when you turn a certain age. I'm not sure how it works, but hopefully it happens to everyone.
7.) There isn't a specific timeline to knowing. It could take three minutes, three days, or three years. But I feel like once you know, then you know and there is no doubt. Your soul mate could be someone you've known for years, or someone you just met. It's all in God's timing.
14.) Everyone has one person that is made for them, but we as humans make a lot of errors. So, if you're lucky, you might be one of the lucky ones who ends up with their "person." I think it would be neat if everyone automatically was paired with their soul mate, but that's just not how it works.
26.) I think Marty was right when he said "Love isn't a feeling, it's an ability". We choose to open up to people, and we choose to let them in and "love" them. I think some people are more open and able to love than others. You can choose to not love someone though.

"Reel" Life

My favorite film is Step Brothers. The first time I watched it, I fell in love. It is the funniest movie I have ever seen. I have re watched it so many times and it never gets old. I quote it on the daily, and my car is even named after one of the characters. It is the GOAT of movies.


I'm not really into "chick flicks." I hate feel good and sappy movies. Anything emotional is not for me.


I watch movies at night in my bed a lot. I use Netflix and Hulu and I also download movies. I also watch them when I have friends over.

I can watch a movie in any environment. My favorite would probably be in the car. I get really bored when I can't move for long periods of time, so watching a movie helps distract me from that. I also like watching movies in bed. The only thing I don't really like is watching a movie with my family. I don't enjoy their unnecessary commenting.
If my life were a movie, Jennifer Lawrence would play me. There would be lots of dogs in the movie too, but it would still be pretty boring. My parents immediate divorce after my birth would be featured. Also, the 2011 World Series would be a big part of the plot. I'm not sure what the ending would be though, hopefully it would be happy.
