An Insider's Guide to Amy


I have been tagged, by my VERY long time friend Heather Gibby-Ward, to post 8 things that most people don't know about me... Hee.

*I am SHY.
Many people have NO COMPREHENSION of how this is possible for a girl who makes a living parading herself on a stage with thousands of people watching daily. BUT, I am RIDICULOUSLY shy. It drives me crazy and I have no explaination for it, but luckily, once I get PAST the whole shyness thing, I don't shut up and no one can remember what it was like when I WAS shy. Ha ha.

My shyness manifests itself in different ways: In a large group of people I am EXTREMELY shy and just sit back and observe- I do MUCH better one on one and in small groups. Often times my shyness is mistaken for snobbiness or just plain apathy- but I am here to tell you all that that's not the case. It's just me being dumb and shy. We're working on that...


*Haircookingemailsbloggingreadingfacebookcleaningphonetalkingsingingwriting I do nearly everything in an ADD type fashion. I can't do a project in one sitting. In the morning- especially on days I have off- I lay out my game plan and go about it by doing a little of each thing at a time. I am great at cooking, doing my hair, writing emails, cleaning my room, and talking on the phone all at the same time. Otherwise I get bored and daydream. Ha. Right now, at 6 PM, I am multitasking making dinner (a lovely rice bowl filled with teryaki stir fry), doing my hair, and typing this blog. Somehow I manage to get it all done...


*WHERE ARE YOU!?!??!
I am addicted to keeping in touch with people. I HATE losing touch with friends from past years. I am the "go to" girl when people want to know what "so-and-so" is doing now. I am a pocket full of useless information on people. :-) By the way, what ever happened to those random twin roommates I had? Hee.


*"AN ENCOUNTER WITH STRING BEANS!"
I am an avid journal keeper. I have kept a journal since I was 12 years old. The quote heading this topic of discussion was taken from a twelve-year-old James Garrett... who twelve-year-old Amy had a crush on. It was Music Man rehearsal, 1993. I guess he was flirting with me... I have 14 years full of similar stupid quotes and life lessons of Amy.


*I love cute underwear. Nuff said.
Almost. This could be a problem when I go to the temple, eh?


*DID YOU KNOW...My great-great-great grandmother was disowned at fifteen!
I am a family history geek. I am fascinated with family history and personal histories and whatever else. I LOVE biographies.


*Sometimes I wish I was a 1940's Pin-up Girl.
HA! YES! You read correctly. SOOOOOOOOOO random and SOOOOOOOOOOOO true. I wanna be a WWII pinup girl. Sometimes I think I was made for that era. Sigh.


*NERD ALERT!
I LOVE THE NEWS. I am obsessed with the news. Every day I go to ksl.com at least five times to see the updates on what's going on in my home town. When big stories break like the Utah mine collapse or a BYU student goes missing, I often know the updates before anyone at home does.

Your turn! :-)

Katy Caterpillar- A Childhood Inspiration.

OK- so I found this tonight on YouTube. Now, y'all have to understand the importance of this song in my life. At four years old I would sit in front of the TV and CRY... SOB... during this song. Oh- please bless that it touches some of you as much as it touched me as a child. HA.
