25 THINGS ABOUT ME- BY STINES

One day Stines decided she too would make a "25 Things about Ashley List"

(i think this is hysterical because oddly enough i had forgotten about 25% of them...)


1. Has Peeps in the freezer year round- yes, those gross yellow marshmallow looking like thing that appear in stores around Easter. She loves them. (not so anymore but there was a time)

2. Will randomly speak gibberish, usually in an effort to quiet someone. Ex; “hig-ga-da-ba” – ash, you know

3. Likes to say words in weird accents and pronunciations.

4. Will spend 20 minutes in grocery store reading random cards, laughing hysterically and inevitably buying at least 10 of them, none of which have any purpose, if you’re reading this, you’ve probably gotten one.

5. Once tried to help with the communication between a friend and her boyfriend by making analogy to a dog and the puss in the dog’s eyes- it needed to be wiped away so it could see. Hysterical- had to be there. (vaguely remember this but i have no doubt that i did)

6. Deathly allergic to bees- … still questionable? (tis true...let's not chance it)

7. Tried repeatedly to kill 2 “tester” fish for a fish tank in college by torturing them using methods of solitary confinement and starvation (oddly they wouldn’t die). Then bought another 1 that ended up eating everything. I mean everything- even Manuel- the sucker fish that eats the algae. End of story.

8. Which leads me to #9- created collage on back of dorm room door highlighting various monthly awareness topics and just random life experiences/milestones/lessons.

9. For most of sophomore year, kept college dorm as messy as possible to avoid any new roommates from wanting to move in. (stines too did this, i wasn't alone)

10. Loves the fact that her full name is ideal for monogramming- and yes, everything is monogrammed- sheets, towels, robes, underwear … well not sure about underwear but wouldn’t put it past her. (great idea!)

11. Arrived to college with a license plate that said- ASH 32 and about 15 matching “sweater sets” in various pastel colors.

12. Obsessed with Martha Stewart.

13. Has worn the same scrunchy to bed every night since I’ve known her- a yellow-ish thing with weird animals on it (maybe sheep). Think was originally part of a pajama set. (i still to this day own this, however it doesn't get the usage it once did unfortunately)

14. Is a surprisingly good dancer. Both on a dance floor and in a car.

15. Has oddly large toenails on her big toes.

16. When listening to a somewhat dramatic story told by another, she will mimic the facial expressions of the other person without realizing it. This is actually really funny.

17. Can flex her eyelid – its weird. Trust me.

18. Has something weird going on with her belly button- cant touch it or it will make her nauseous – I think the thought might make her queasy too.

19. Before her and tom were together- she told me that she always had a thing for him and he was mysterious. ( ;) )

20. She has an infectious laugh. I can just watch her laugh, have no idea why she’s laughing, and start laughing too. Pretty hard actually.

21. You will never find her on a trip with out some fake eye lashes and extra hair in her bag. (obviously) (stines to this day will pull on my hair when she first sees me to see if its fake)

22. Guaranteed to say “get serious” at least once during a conversation.

23. She has sung me the entire “happy birthday” song ever year on my birthday since I’ve known her with a strong half Indian/ half not sure accent. Think she sings song for everyone- not sure if everyone gets the heavy accent. (nope stiggs, just you)

24. Over exaggerates to avoid honest answers that could lead to potentially awkward situations.

25. When getting ready to do something/go somewhere, she motivates herself be using a countdown like she is about to perform a choreographed recital, as in “ And 5, 6, 7, 8”

26. Has no real concept of numbers. I deduce this fact because most combinations of numbers she uses in sentences are completely impossible. For instance, she likes to say someone has done something “97 times” but obviously, that’s impossible. Typical combinations of numbers used: a 9, a 3 or a 7

27. Gets excited about gardening…. (refer back to the herb garden post)

I think its funny that she too couldn't just stop at 25...
