A Lot of Things You Probably Did Not Know (or Want to Know) About Jessica

I love the feeling of flossing. I just love it!

My favorite part of a bagel is the bottom half. Especially if it has corn meal on it. :)

I am obsessed with multiples of 5. If one of those is not an option, then odd numbers, please. Anything but even (except ones that end in "0").

I take most of my showers in the dark. It is my getaway. I shower when I am sad, mad, wanting to fall asleep, wanting to wake up, need to be relaxed, procrastinating, thinking, crying, ...basically anything. Which is why I usually take more than one shower in a day. It is just my place.

I never answer my phone. Pretty much ever. I screen my calls. Then, sometimes, I listen to the voice mail. Rarely do I call back. It is not because I don't like you. I just HATE talking on the phone. I have gotten better at it (I used to actually fear speaking on the phone and would avoid it at all costs!). Texts work (usually). Emails work (pretty well).

I love getting massages. Except only if they are deep tissue-- none of that sissy stuff.

I am constantly editing. Fixing grammar, finding misspellings, etc... (Of course, since I wrote that, I am going to spell something wrong in this post so someone can correct me). :) My biggest pet peeve that people say is "why" instead of "while." Example: I went to the store why my husband was watching the kids. Now, people don't usually write this or type this, but, my gosh, people say it all the time. Yuck!

I am becoming more and more aware of the cliches that I use and that the people around me use. Starting to bug me.

I am learning more and more that all I want to do with my life is love people. None of this real life 9-5 crap. I just want to love Jesus and love people. I want to read everything I can get my hands on about Jesus. I want to serve people until I can't move any longer.

I love the nitty-gritty (there I go with the cliches again...) stuff in the Bible. I love learning the original greek/hebrew/latin words and how they translate. I love reading commentaries and diving into the context of it all. I just love the Bible.

When I am stressed I just cry. A lot.

I love hardcore movies. My top favorites are (in order): 300, Gladiator, Blood Diamond, Inception,  Troy, LOTR, Star Wars, Avatar, Transformers, Star Trek, X-Men.

I have a strange and terrible addiction to cherry coke zero. Addicted.

If you want to put me to sleep or make me the happiest girl in the world, play with my hair. One of the best feelings everrr.
