It's My Birthday!--10 Things You Didn't Know About Me

I know I don't usually post on Thursday's BUT today is my birthday! I turn 29, ahh! I know so scary, I'm almost 30 and this is my last year as a twenty-something. I swear I don't feel this old. Sometimes I still feel like I'm 23 or 24. Time has gone by so fast but I'm grateful for everything that has happened in my life that has made me who I am today. I also thought it would be sweet for me to share some random facts about myself--so you can get to know me a little bit more. 

1. I absolutely love cats! (It's so funny how almost every-single blogger loves them, hehe).
2. Aside from being Mexican-American (born, raised, and residing in Los Angeles, CA). I'm also 3 different types of Indian--Aztec, Mayan, and Navajo (two types of Mexican Indian + one part American Indian). 
3. I love to go camping (even though I'm so afraid of sleeping in the woods overnight!).
4. I was on the Tall Flags team in high school. 
5. I used to play the drums in a band. 
6. I can also play the guitar, bass, and synthesizer!
7. I like to drive on the freeway at night--alone--so I can sing my head off without anyone hearing or seeing me, LOL. 
8. I like playing video games (but I'm super picky about the games I play, so I don't play that much right now--the last time I was obsessed with a game was when Halo 1 was released).
9. I love walking around alone in Downtown L.A., I like to stare at all the old buildings and imagine what it was like in the 20's and 30's.
10. My favorite meal is: Slow cooked beef, with creamy mashed potatoes, and Hawaiian bread. 

I'm so excited for my birthday this year. My boyfriend is taking me out and I don't know where. It's a surprise & I can't wait to have some fun in the sun! haha. Happy Birthday to me ;-) Thanks for stopping by! I'll take my camera with me so I can take some pictures of where we go and what we see!

  5. Happy Birthday Nicole! Enjoy your 29th year to the fullest!
    Really? I think I'm more scared of the wildlife in downtown cities than the ones in the woods....

  6. Happy Happy Birthday to you!!! And you're not old, because after this year, you turn 25 (again and again - LOL)! It was great to learn more about you. You're so musically talented, AND you're awesome at crafting too! I bet there's so much more...Oh, and I love Hawaiian bread - Yum! Have you been to the King's Hawaiian Restaurant (because I've heard it's great)? Hope you have a great birthday, and you're gonna have a great year for your last twenty-somthing (er...before your 25th). =0)

  7. Happy Birthday!!! You're definitely not getting old. I turned 27 this year and I felt like an old lady but.. I realized that it is awesome getting older because you have so much knowledge and experience about life. You have experienced life! Far greater than being young and dumb. Have a fun celebration tonight.
