1. First Impressions
I feel like I've always been capable of making great first impressions. I follow five simple principles: smile, look people in the eye, have a solid handshake, ask good questions, and throw in a pinch of self-effacing humor.
2. Making my Parents Laugh.
I may not be funny to most people. I may not be funny to my co-workers. but I think I know what pushes my parents tickle buttons. I think it's because I've known them longer than anyone else…
3. Quoting Movies.
After watching a movie twice, I can remember and quote the entire movie for the most part. It has come naturally, so I can't really attribute it to any particular practice other than a photographic memory.
4. Running
No matter how old, fat, or out of shape I get, I'll always be able to run a mile in under 6 minutes. I haven't timed myself in a mile since my sophomore year of college (almost 5 years ago) and I'm 100% positive that I could go out and post a sub 6:00 mile. It's in the genes, thanks Dad.
5. Dressing Myself.
Call me braggadocious, but I have a keen sense of style. I was unofficially voted "best dressed" in high school; a superlative I will always consider a highlight of my life. I am persecuted for my style/attire to this day.

haha i love that you were “unofficially” voted best dressed… did you give this title to yourself or what?
No, I didn’t give it to myself, thank you very much! There wasn’t a ‘best dressed’ category in the yearbook so a few (very knowledgeable) fashionistas bestowed the crown upon my head.
hilarious. i read this post last night and woke up this morning giggling to myself about it. only you would write about the 5 things you will always be good at. And my first thoughts were exactly what Lana said.
There should be some type of prize for making people giggle when they wake up…
you definitely know how to push my buttons.
great photo! does this conflict with point #5?
too funny.
By no means does it conflict with point Numero 5… It reinforces it.
