I am not particularly fond of super long posts on my blog, so I have created a spot for my tags, after they have gotten some "air time".
I do, however, appreciate tags.

4 Things people didn't know about me:

2. Even though my name is Jill-Ian it's interchangeable with Julian. Even my friend who know that's it's with an "i" will call me Julian.
3. I am very honest about only taking one sample at the grocery store.
4. I organize my closet based on the color of each item.
20 THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME:
1. If I was a boy, my name would have been Phineas after both of my parents favorite book,
A Separate Peace. It's one of my favs too, and I wouldn't have minded.
2. I have kicked a hole in my bedroom wall.
I have anger management issues.
3. I know a little bit of a lot of languages,
including French, German, Spanish, Italian, & Latin mostly and the tiniest bit of Chinese and Polish.
At random intervals, I will use expressions and sentences from various languages just because I know what I'm saying and no one else does. It annoys people though.
Le petite chien manges des grande fleurs. Things like that.
4. I secretly love every bruise and scar I have. They say "Hey Jillian, you survived"
5. I use my neighbors wifi. With permission, of course. But I still feel sneaky about it.
6. The real reason I quit swimming was because
I was so skinny that every time I'd swim for longer than half an hour,
I'd get so so cold that I felt like I was dying afterward.
7. I've had sleeping disorders my whole life.
8. I get annoyed when people ask if my mother and I are sisters.
9. I have the best friend {that I'm not related to} in the whole world. Her name is Emma Jane, she is completely awesome, and absolutely beautiful.
10. Whenever I suggest we go somewhere, or do something, people always assume that there is either a really great skatepark, or a super nice coffee shop nearby. 4 out of 5 times, they would be correct in that assumption.
11. My role models have always been the girls that get songs written about them. Think: Meet Virginia, Hey Julie, Hey there Delilah.
12. I'm the kind of girl whose is so outrageously crazy that everyone smiles and and shakes their heads about. Like once I was outside swinging in the pouring rain and singing my lungs out and the boy from next door
[insert fake apathetic air] stood at the window grinning. 13. I wear clothes that aren't exactly "me" because they make my Mom happy.
14. I take artistic photographs of friends and family and secretly hope they'll pick them as their Facebook photos.
I'm annoying, I know.
15. I have the sort of face that everyone thinks they know.
16. I had to say "I'm sorry, I don't work here" for the first time when I was 13, and several times since.
17. I have a jar of coins and dollar bills on my desk that is called "My adventure fund".
18. I have a huge desire to have a job working in a coffee shop while I am still in highschool, but I know that is regarded as a menial job to my parents, and that they want me to focus on school because I'm most likely to end up in the medical field. I still love the idea though.
19. I come from a huge baseball obsessed family, and during the season, there is not a family meal that goes by that baseball is not mentioned once. Even though I think I block baseball out, I still have subconsciously stored most every baseball player in the top 200's first name. I have an extreme name remembering capabilities. Lord forbid I ever forget the difference between Matt Holiday and Roy Halladay.
20. A lot of people get intimidated by me, because they think I think I'm so much smarter than them, but that's really not the case at all.
This took a really long time. Tagging you, if you're up for it.

- Me too PB. I'd love to absolutely raging angry and spew forth a ton of French. Haha, I wasn't saying I was a genius in any of these languages. In fact, most of the things I say are completely irrelevant to anything that matters. która godzina? Thanks Katie, it was very fun to write.
