Hi! I'm Caroline. This is a picture that was taken of me by my boyfriend's parents at my first race. It was only a 10K, but it's something that I'm still very proud of myself for completing. This picture tells a lot about me. First of all, it is actually a very candid picture. I wasn't expecting to see anyone I knew until over a mile into the race where The Stray Dog Band was set up. I suddenly heard my name, turned, and instinctively waved. The look on my face is the exact moment of recognition of who it was. I like that this picture captures who I am to my core.
So... onto the facts.
1. I've never dyed my hair.
2. I watch an episode of The Wonder Years every night before I go to bed. The more I watch it, the more annoyed I get at Winnie Cooper. She's such a cock tease.
3. My family stole my cat from our abusive neighbors. They never put up a fight about it.
4. There are so many places that I want to travel to and travel back to. I'm so afraid I'll never find the time to do it all.
5. Butterflies are a symbol in my family for love, safety, and peace. I got a butterfly tattoo on my hip when I was 18. It's the only tattoo I'll ever get, and I'm so glad I had the courage to go through with it.
6. I almost always cry when I watch a wedding or birth on TV.
7. I didn't get the "accessory gene," so I don't have a very good appreciation for shoes, purses, jewelry, etc. I've been trying really hard to grasp the concept of it all recently though.
8. I generally get along with girls way better than guys. When I hear a girl say "I get along with guys way better than girls," I automatically think she's a slut.
9. ET scares the shit out of me. I used to think he lived in the woods behind my house and at night he would sneak into my bedroom and try to touch me with his long ass fingers.
10. My biggest pet peeve is being let down by someone I depend on.
11. I'm getting a beagle puppy as soon as humanly possible. His name will be Crouton. I've had this name in mind for 3 years.
12. I've broken my right arm 4 times, but no other bones in my body.
13. I believe in karma to my core. I believe in holding doors and elevators, saying "thank you," and asking people how they are. I believe in treating people like individuals.
14. If I forget to floss one morning, my entire day feels off.
15. I wish my piano teacher had told me, and not just my mother, that I had a gift. Then maybe I would have kept playing.
