I’m SO late to the party, but my blog crush Helene @ Helene in Between posted about a cool Link Up (called You probably don’t know), even though it’s SUPER late but I thought this was awesome anyways.
O1.// I am half Chilean, my father was born and raised there, he came to ‘Murica at the age of 18 and holds dual citizenship.
O2.// When I read, study, write blog posts, I HAVE to listen to something. Usually it’s music, netflix, or some type of movie. I need NOISE in the background if it’s dead silent I get more distracted.
O3.// Favorite foods are- Burritos, Tacos, Nachos (yes there is a theme), shrimp and Cheese itz (I can usually eat like almost a full bag)
O4.// I tend to BABBLE when I’m nervous or upset, it’s almost like word vomit? I babble to control any emotions so I don’t completely lose it, in whatever direction my emotions will spill over.
O5.// I don’t like to fly, I panic & envision a scenario like something happening from Lost (legit WORST fear), TWA Flight 800 {happened over Long Island}, and unfortunately 9/11. CA has definitely helps me keep calm when we have to fly.
O6.// I understand more Spanish than I let people know, I rarely speak it because I feel like I sound too white trying. {I never said what I feel is rational}
O7.// I have ZERO patience for drivers, I’m spoiled by my three minute commute to work each day. The furthest I go is the gym and the nail salon, but that’s it. CA laughs at me on the regular when I drive us anywhere, or he usually asks me how my horn still works.
O8.// When I lost over 50+ lbs in 2013 I cut out soda, alcohol, junk food, and most fried foods. I ran every other day and also did T25, I also did Turbo Fire when T25 ended.
I’m with you on listening to music while reading. For some reason, it helps me focus! I babble also! Don’t worry!

I definitely need to watch Netflix when I write! My current obsession is the Good Wife!
Did you like T25? I was thinking about trying it out!

These are such fun posts, I love getting to know other bloggers! I cannot stand driving/traffic either and unfortunately nothing is really close to me so I must drive and therein cause a spike in my blood pressure due to irritation and stupid drivers.

What a fun idea. My husband is like you, no patience with crappy drivers. I however, am a crappy driver, so he has to do the driving.
I ALWAYS have to listen to music when I work on blogging stuff, and always had music on in college. Love these posts! It’s fun to get to know other bloggers!

I am the exact opposite for me to concentrate it has to be dead quiet or I get distracted. Even the smallest of noises can do it.
Ohhh I definitely have to have noise when I’m reading and/or writing, too! I think there’s something to be said about verbal people and their need for noise! 😉
I’m with you on number 7! Definitely get a little road rage from time to time.
I love these kinds of posts.

LOVE this! I have to have music on too! xoxo
I absolutely love getting to know bloggers through these types of posts!

This is awesome getting to know a little more about you. So cool you are half-Chilean. Have you ever been to Chile?
I have to listen to something while studying too. I loved getting to know more about you. Thanks for sharing 🙂

Props to you for losing over 50 pounds, girl! Unfortunately, I am the type of person who needs complete silence when it comes to reading, writing, or studying because I will get distracted!

I love this list! I have not seen it anywhere! Congrats on the weight lose – that takes a ton of hard work!
I am the same way!! I have to listen to music while I do things that most people need silence doing, like reading, writing, etc
Oh my goodness I am so the opposite, I can’t have music when I write, it’s just too distracting!
It’s nice to know a few things about you. I like listening to music, too when I read or write.
I have a distraction as well depending on what I am doing.
Great job! You look great!
Same thing with me on number 2! I always have to listen to music! I love this post!

I also have to have music or the TV on when I am working or I get distracted too!! I’m glad I am not the only one 🙂
Loved getting to know you better! My stepmom is a dual citizen, as well! And I can’t function without background noise.

Oh boy – sounds like you’re my exact opposite! When I read, work or study I have to have complete silence. I am so easily distracted!
Ok now, SO impressive that you were able to cut out all of that! That takes serious discipline. Good for you, girl!

Im so with you! I have the worst road rage ever and people in SC can’t drive.
So lovely getting to know you a bit more. I am totally impatient when driving and i am so trying to work on that…well sorta 😀
We have a LOT in common. I am obsessed with Mexican food and shrimp too. Shrimp nachos? The best combo EVER!
I love this kind of post!
I am SO with you about the background noise! It’s so hard for me to blog in total silence!
I’m totally with you on the airplanes. Believe it or not, I’m an awful flier. Takeoff and landings set me on edge, though once we’re in the air I tend to loosen up. I’m the delight to my seatmates because I either eat or nervously talk about everything… Though last time our plane had wifi and my Twitter feed was subjected to my insanity instead. – Jerusha, TheDisneyChef.com
I need noise in the background too! People thought I was crazy in college when I could only study with the TV on!
love that you can speak Spanish but don’t let most people know!
I don’t like flying either! Some people love it but not me!
I like having Netflix on while I blog. I need to cut soda I bet I’d loose a lot of weight if I did but it’s so hard.
Same! I have to listen to music but only instrumental or classical..
I like background noise, but if what I’m listening to has words than I start typing that up instead of what I mean to xD That’s so amazing that you lost that much weight, and in such a good way. So inspiring!

It’s nice to know more about you! I love tacos and nachos too!
