Almost 101 Things About Me

* I’ve loved animals ever since I was a kid and I have a particular interest in reptiles. I have more pets than is reasonable.

* Bugs freak me out, anything with more than 4 legs is not cute.

* My dog, Gracie, weighs more than I do.

* I got engaged to Kenneth Brown in preschool.

* As boring as it sounds, my favorite food is cheese pizza.

* I love everything about being outside.

* I love Disney movies more than it’s socially acceptable for any 17 year old to admit.

 * I’m a “test tube baby” meaning that I was conceived via donor insemination.

* Everyone in my family, except my mom, and even some of my friends call me Anna Banana.

* I’ve always been really shy, as a kid I spent my days with my grandparents and my older cousin, Levi, because I hated preschool.

* I have a large family and we’re all fairly close. Family means a lot to me. 

* Thanks to the Sesame Street character, Zoe, my favorite color has always been orange and I even went through a phase as a toddler where I only wanted to eat orange things.

* I currently have two jobs. One is at a family owned Mexican Restaurant known as Prima’s and the other is at a locally owned pet store called Pets Way (formally known as Pet Warehouse).

* My birthday is on Valentines Day. It’s a blessing and a curse because its a “fun fact” and people usually remember but it’s also on a holiday and often when I try to see a movie on my birthday, it’s sold out

  1. Very interesting list, Anna - or Anna Banana. What kind of dog is Gracie?
    I'm going to have to see a picture. Nice looking blog, especially for a girl who loves the outside. I'm looking forward to reading more. Thanks!

  3. Anna, thank you for your patience! Is this a miracle appearance of the old post, or did you recreate? (Maybe I just forgot about Valentine's Day...) I am impressed to see you already reposted! Bravo!

  6. I am also a huge Disney fanatic! My favorite is probably Anastasia (which is still in debate of being a Disney movie) but to me it is.

  7. It is very socially expectable for a 17 year old girl to be obsessed with Disney. I am for sure one of those girls.

  10. I didn't know you worked at Prima's. It's seriously my favorite dine-in Mexican restaurant.

  11. Bugs are disgusting, I definitely agree with you on that. I've always wanted a bearded dragon as a pet though.

  12. I completely agree that anything with more than 4 legs is not cute! Bugs are so gross!

  13. Sounds like you have a interesting life. I personally love anything that's not a spider or tiny with wings. I used to have a bearded dragon as well. Her name is Saxon, but she lives with my step dad in California

  14. That's unfortunate that your birthday is on valentines day, because anything that you want to do is sold out. That's why I'm glad that my birthday is close to Halloween because everything is deserted

  15. I think its kinda funny you like reptiles, but hate bugs. Do you have a hard time feeding your pets with all the bugs it needs to eat?

    1. Yeah bugs aren't fun but I've had to get used to them. I also work at a pet store and getting crickets is a common task.

  17. I used to have lizards too!! But then the Ice Storm happened... soo yeah. Spiders are okay unless they are on me. That's not okay. I always end up screaming like a little girl.

  18. I have the same love for reptiles. I am currently trying to talk my dad into letting me get this little snake named Poseidon... It is a no-go so far. :(

  19. I am also an animal lover of all species, but due to my mom's extreme fear of reptiles I am only allowed to have a dog.

  20. There is no shame in watching Disney movies, especially when they are Pixar.
