i'll share 5 random tidbits about myself first and then would love to have anyone who would like to participate share your fun facts and link up your blog post below.
[you can also just share your 5 fun facts in the comments if you don't want to write a blog post]
you can then go and visit each other's blogs and meet some new people!
here are my Super Star 5 Fun Facts!
1. i ran cross country in 9th grade as a way to stay in shape for track. but i basically didn't try at all cause i'm lazy. i would always stay in the back and just told everyone i was the motivator and cheer everyone on, ha. then at one meet our best runner was hurt so my coach asked me to "step it up." i ended up coming in 14th out of 80 or more girls which was pretty decent. then the next day at practice i went to back of the group again. :) moral of the story: i could probably try harder in life.
2. when i was little i used to cut my bangs all the time. i once cut them right before we had passport pictures taken so in my passport picture i have a big bandana on my head to cover them up. one day my grandpa told me if i cut my hair again he would shave my head like Charles Barkley. and i never did.
3. i met almost all my favorite bands except one [a few pictured below]. i tried not to fangirl too much even though i was crying inside out of sheer joy each time.
4. in junior high my friends and i had a really great idea to make our Halloween costumes... out of butcher paper. i don't remember why we thought it was great... but preteens always think they are awesome i guess. so we dressed up like hula dancers and made skirts and bikini tops (that we wore over white shirts) out of paper. it was cool. until i see old pictures then i think it's hilarious.
5. i once tried out for BYU Young Ambassadors but was so embarrassed by my singing portion of the audition that i didn't go to the dancing audition. in my defense, they told me an hour before the audition time that there was an opening and i had to have two songs memorized. so... basically it was a train wreck. dreams of being on Broadway dashed.

Out of the three bands that you posted I only recognize one name (Eisley) and couldn't tell you who the non-band members were in each picture (except you).
Umm.... that last one would be totally nerve racking! I'm a wreck for auditions even when I'm super prepared! But I tried out for Little Women last summer at a community theater and they told me the week before my audition to come with a monologue memorized, and those are not my strong point (I can sing in front of people no problem) so I was a wreck through that whole thing.
I LOATHE auditioning for like anything! Butterflies and tears and just general yuckyness.....good for you though to at least ATTEMPT it ;)
I had lots of friends on the boys cross country team hahaha
Ooh that's a good idea! My niece just cut her bangs for the second time... Maybe a little Charles Barkley action is in order! ;)
So cool that you've met so many bands you like! I feel ya on the singing - I am just too nervous to sing in front of people!
I love this -- I'll have to start thinking about my "5 things". And I think I met Eisley years ago -- if I'm remembering correctly they went on tour with -- or opened a show or two with Switchfoot :)
I love the layout of your blog! The header and side bar are the cutest! xo
