What I know about me know

What I know about me now

I am very proud of the H my name.

My favorite color has always been and will always be purple.

I like to wear fuzzy socks to bed.

I slept with a binky from the age of like three till 26 1/2. I am considering retiring the thing because my mother got me a very soft cuddly purple throw blankets for Christmas. She heard me say all this yesterday, and is probably thinking that it's the best nine dollars that she ever spent at Big Lots.

My favorite day is June 6.

My favorite season is spring.

My favorite meal is a hamburger with just ketchup and an order of French fries. Although I would say that my taste buds are changing because of recent events.

My favorite dessert is plain vanilla Hudsonville ice cream with Hershey's chocolate syrup on top. This reminds me of spending the night at my grandpa and grandma's house.

My best friend is my mom. I want to make her proud with everything that I do and say.

My favorite singer is Taylor Swift. My favorite song by Taylor at the current moment is either I knew you were trouble or 22. I sort of wish I was 22 again, that was a good year for me. Oh yeah, and let us not forget Mean. That song is my mom and my song because it reminds us of all the people who have tried to bring us down in our life together.

The place I would most like to travel to is Nashville. I want to visit the bluebird Café where Taylor Swift was discovered but I don't think it is very handicapped accessible. I would also like to visit New York at some point in my life. I went there when I was really little, it's a shame I don't remember it. There is even a picture of me in front of the twin towers.

Some of my favorite authors are Nicholas Sparks and JK Rowling. I tried to read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone recently but it didn't feel the same, maybe I am outgrowing that as well as my binky.

My favorite nickname is Mug or Meg O Rama.

I like it when my mother brags me up to all her friends.

I love to make people laugh, but sometimes I'm afraid that my wheelchair makes me seem unapproachable.

I want people to think I'm intelligent.

I always liked how my mother explained my disability to other people, “she is a perfectly fine young woman wrapped up in the body that doesn't work very well. That might not be verbatim but it's close enough.

I like Jell-O but I don't like it with the little hunks of fruit inside. It reminds me of being in the hospital.

I always want people to be able to understand me. I need to practice and unseating my words, because sometimes I think I mumbled just a little bit.

I prefer Coca-Cola over Pepsi.

When the next Taylor Swift CD comes out I will probably begged my mom to get me the deluxe edition before Christmas. What is up with her CDs always coming out in October? If my mom makes me way I think it's like a form of torture.

I like to be thought of as sweet kind and agreeable. Being a perfectionist by nature and having a disability it's hard to maintain the agreeable part.

I dislike misplacing my cell phone or dropping it. It makes me panic!

My favorite movie was Selena.

My first crush was a boy named Matthew, when he moved to Lansing in methane grade I cried.

I hate going to the dentist, every time I go I come back with a mouth full of canker sores. I think it might be a stress reaction.

I am happy that in 2013 my mother finally perfected the perfect melt in your mouth peanut butter cookie. I suggested adding chocolate chips to them but I don't know if she'll do it.

I've always like to be a writer, but I don't understand how authors like Stephen King makes all their money by scaring the crap out of people.

I want to be considered trustworthy and honest.

I still collect teddy bears and I'm not ashamed of it. I don't need anymore at this point. I have named the ones that sit on my headboard. The most recent addition is Daisy. I think she's having a hard time fitting in.

I am a cat person. I have three. My cat loyalties are currently fluctuating.

I wish I had done a better job keeping a journal, so that I could look back on my life and know exactly when I accomplished what.

Katherine Hagel is one of my favorite actresses, even though she burned an incredible bridge with the creator of Gray's Anatomy, Shonda Rimes. So did Isaiah Washington but I never really cared about him or his character Berk.

I wish I was braver like my mom and sister. They are two of the most fearless women I know.

I would love to attend the WPA conference someday.

I always thought cursive was a dying art form that is why I am so proud of my signature. I told that's my dad once and he said that he had no idea that I felt so passionately about it. I have opinions but I try to keep the majority of the negative ones to myself, I found recently that it doesn't help matters.

Help is not something I accept easily.

I often contradict myself and don't even realize it. If you love me you know exactly what I'm talking about.

I want to be seen as strong even when I'm at my weakest.

My favorite Disney movie is a tossup between Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin. Although, the scene where Mu Fossa got killed in the Lion King made me cry.
