• 5 facts about me + VSA banquet pictures

  I’ve seen these 5 facts things on youtube and been meaning to do one myself.  Instead of saying it on a video, I’ll just list them below.
  
  5 Random Facts About Roadlesstaken:

  1.  I have incredibly vivid dreams. 

  I tend to remember most of my dreams when I wake up and if I wanted to I could describe, in detail, what went on.  I don’t think I ever really had scary dreams.  Most dreams I have usually involves some weird adventure that could possibly happen in real life.  Check out my entry “I dream a lot” for an example of one dream I had recently.

  Have you ever heard of lucid dreaming?  It’s when you realize that you are dreaming in the middle of dreaming, which then allows you to control yourself in your dream.  Sounds kinda cool right?  I can only remember achieving that one time, back in high school.  Once I realized I was dreaming, I started walking through walls, flying, drinking from a 10 foot tall Coke bottle, and doing some *ahem* unmentionables .  Err anyways, lucid dreaming is fun .

  2.  I kick stray shoes if they’re in my way. 

  

  Okay, let me explain.  My friends actually pointed this out to me one time when I was in their dorm rooms.  They tend to take off their shoes and just leave them all over the room.  Apparently, whenever I walk around and one of their shoes is in my way, I give it a small kick to knock it out of my path.  It’s not like I’m angry or anything.  I have no idea where I got this random thing from, or how long I’ve been doing this before my friends pointed it out.  Does anyone else do this?

  3.  I have a very distinct walk.

  Now I’m pretty sure my dad is responsible for this trait of mine.  Generally when I walk, I walk very upright with a noticeable swagger.  My friend described it by saying I swing my body back and forth, with my arms kinda out.  The first time someone mentioned this to me was during high school.  I was just walking by myself down a hall when a random kid ask me “why you walking around like you’re all that?”  Haha…well trust me, I don’t do it on purpose.  In fact, lately I’ve been attempting to calm that down and make my walk not as distinctive.  Anyways, if you have a problem with that blame my dad, since he walks exactly the same way.  Oh well, it could be worse.  At least I look confident in the way I carry myself .

  Here’s a video of me walking at a cultural fashion show.  Skip to 2:23-2:55 to see the part with me:

  I was attempting to control it btw.  Is it noticeable still? 

  4.  If I could have a secret power, I wish I could read people’s minds.

  
  Just like Matt Parkman on Heroes!

  Being a psychology major I guess that’s not too surprising.  I admit, I’ve actually thought about this enough that I start wondering what I would do if I did have those powers.  Would I just keep it to myself, or would I go to some organization like the government to help interrogate unsuspecting people?  I then start thinking what if the government try to do experiments on me if I went to them.  Maybe I would just keep it to myself but still use my powers for the common good.  I would be like that guy from Psych, except legit!  …Okay, I’m gonna stop before I make myself sound more like a dork.

  5.  I love giving (and receiving) massages.

  

  Yes I do.  I didn’t even really need massages until college started.  An ex of mine stressed me out so much that I now have reoccurring knots on my shoulders that requires deep tissue massages to get out.  I also enjoy giving massages for some reason.  Maybe I like the idea that I’m helping someone else feel better.  What’s weird is that I don’t get tired when I massage people.  I have given massages in the past that lasted for hours and my hands did not feel sore at all.  If I ever find someone that is like that and can massage me I’ll be in heaven!

  Alright, I’m gonna tag 5 random people.  If I tag you, you have to make a 5 facts post in the near future.  Feel free to do one even if I didn’t tag you.  Have fun!

  As mentioned last post, I went to the VSA banquet Friday night for the first time.  Overall it was a good experience and I had a lot of fun hanging out with old friends from UMBC, as well as listening to some, um, interesting karaoke.  I somehow got recruited at one point to walk out with one of the fashion show models as well.  It was alright, but I wish I could have enjoyed the food that was coming out during the time we did our last minute run through.
