24 things I have learned within the past 23 years:
1. Never say never when it comes to: God, guys, and Guiness. You’ll always be proven wrong. Period.
2. Don’t make fun of those of the same sex. One day you will (or have) cry at a movie, lay in a tanning bed, gossip, walk down the isle (and be pretty darn excited about it), and be emotional. And yes, God has a good sense of humor, that’s why He made you a woman.
3. Comics are cool. No matter what anyone says.
4. Your dad is not perfect.
5. Your mom is not perfect.
6. YOU are not perfect.
7. Its more about quality than quantity...esp. when it comes to friends, dates, shoes, books, and yoga classes.
8. Yoga is hard.
9. Santa is not real. Shoot.
10. Prussian blue oil paint makes you speechless.
11. gasp! You like your curves!!! Who knew?!?!
12. Its ok to be alone...
13. Don’t put air in your tire thinking that “I’ll just visually estimate how much” is good enough. Gauages are good. Use them.
14. Forming an emotional attachment to an animal, such as a cat, and naming it after a bird in another language is not exactly normal. It's ok. Someone will understand.
15. The main artery (or is it a vein…) of a blue whale is so large that the child of the average age 3-4 could crawl through it.
16. You will strangely go from hating something to loving it, this includes sparkling/carbonated water, black licorice, tomatos, deep/bright pink, beer, opera music...
17. 2+2 does NOT equal 5... unless it’s a Radiohead song. (you’ve always been bad at math.)
18. Its not good to cook with your usual metal utensils. It makes them turn from shiny to a dull gray color within a slow period of time.
19. Home Shopping Network sucks.
20. Turkey bacon is awesome…but bacon cooked by a Brubaker is even more awesome.
21. Art does exist in ministry.
22. You pretty much look the same as you did when you were five. A lot of people have told you this. Deal with it. And yes, you still get carded.
23. Too much of something is usually not a good thing...this includes celery, green tea, and soy sauce.
24. Love is a verb, not a feeling. You found that Christ knew a lot about this.
About Me
- Jami
- Best stated by a friend of mine...I've come to think that describing yourself is like telling someone about your favorite book. You can tell them all your favorite parts, why you love the characters, and about the compelling plot, but deep down you know they're not going to have quite the same experience that you had. They may read the book and love it, but the reasons they love it and the things they take away from it will be different than yours, but good nonetheless. So my only hope is to tell you enough to convince you to read the book, to get to know me, and then you may take away whatever feelings you wish. Make yourself an open book, letting others read into it as they wish. Not everyone will like what they read, but atleast you know that the ones who do like what is truly there, and not some false cover you put on. "Jami loves:when she wakes up before the alarm,to sit at pub tables during a concert,when movies make her cry,baking,classic rock bands,giving gifts. Jami hates:to run out of things to say,to see other people cry,when movies have a predictable ending,to let people waste her time."
