I sing in the shower like nobody's business.

I often stay up late watching chick flicks because I don't want anyone to see me cry at the sappy parts.

I have a random love for nuts. Last year I was addicted to peanuts, and now I am addicted to almonds--not the roasted, sugary carnival kinds--straight almonds.

I sometimes fantasize that I am a famous dancer, which could never be possible because:

a) I took dance for two years when I was REALLY little

b) I am not flexible

c) I have absolutely NO rhythm whatsoever

and,

d) I am a member of the Farmer family

I also fantasize about being Harry Potter and/or being at Hogwarts. Although, if I was at Hogwarts I would be a Ravenclaw, not a Gryffindor.

I have an insane fear of heights and I hate it. I've always wanted to have a tree house (much less climb up into one), but every time I start climbing the ladder to one, I start to shake so violently it's almost as if I'm having a seizure.

I am O.C.D. about grades. I don't just want to get good grades; it's as if I have to. This may make me sound all stuck up and goody-goody, but I don't know what I'd do if I wasn't good at school. I've always been the nerdy one!

I've got my life planned out for me: I'm going to marry an insanely rich guy and go travel the world/live in England. Although, if I did live in England, I wouldn't want to live in a mansion even if my husband was rich. I would live in one of those quaint English cottages.

I love to volunteer. My favorite thing about having diabetes is that there seems to be more opportunities for me to volunteer at diabetes-related activities and such. The sad thing is, I've had conflicts the past year or so and haven't been able to do it.

I love classical music. I would never ever listen to it on my iPod, but I absolutely go giddy if it is played on the piano. It's so beautiful.

I also love rap, but mostly just Eminem.

On this little music kick, I like almost every kind of musical genre, except opera. Give me some country: love it. Rap: sweet. Pop: Pretty good (now, if you were to make me listen to JB or Smiley Miley Cyrus, that's a whole different story). Indie: awesome! Rock: pretty cool. Just no opera, thank you very much.

My favorite SNL actor is Kristen Wiig, and if you haven't seen any of her videos, go here and watch some of her videos.These aren't all of the skits she's been in, so if you like her, go searching for more!

Oh, speaking of great videos, if you haven't seen this music video, please do. I think it's hilarious, but maybe that's just me.

That's a little bit about me. Marissa Ann Farmer. Take it or leave it, it's what makes me me, what makes me happy, and I don't change for nobody.

Signs, part 5 (the last one!)

Signs can tell you a lot. They can tell you what to do at an intersection, how to behave in an area frequented by animals, or cautions for your safety. Signs are seen on the front of buildings, or plastered to a billboard. They can tell you where are, or where you're going. Most importantly, signs can tell a story. These signs tell my story. Some of them are comical, some romantic, some just normal every day signs, but all of them have been a part of my life-my story.

The Festival of Colors

Sorry the picture is sideways. And errr... slightly creepy. But that's me! All covered in a TON of cornstarchy colory stuff. Personally, I think I look AWESOME. haha. but that's just me.

For those of you readers who are unrelated to me and do not know, this is my brother. Tadd. He's a history teacher and I think this picture depicts how wise he is. Can't you just see the years of knowledge pouring out from his soul through his eyes?? Random, I know, but I love this picture :) And I love you Tadd!

we were COVERED in colors! I have found colors everywhere, from my ears to underneath my toenails, from my nose to my back...from my... yeah, well, you get the picture. It was EVERYWHERE.

I don't know exactly why I love this picture, but I do. There was SO much junk all over the ground, I feel so bad for those people who had to clean up the place after everyone left...

When Tadd and I were driving down there we both saw this and immediately knew that our day would not be fulfilled if I did not get a picture of it. We then spent the next 15 minutes turning around and going back in order for me to get this shot. I'm not really sure why I find it so hilarious (perhaps because my NAME is Marissa), yet I do. You don't think it's funny? Well, that's just too bad. That's why this is my blog :)
