The name is Hannah, and yes, I do eat bananas, but I don't live in Montana. I'm actually from Louisiana, and I've never been to Savannah.
I used to joke all the time that I was Cajun by blood only and had no other identifiers. Apparently, that rings true because people in the north (basically anywhere north of Louisiana) tell me I don't have an accent all the time. One man from Ohio insisted on asking me, "No, where are you really from?" after I told him I was from Louisiana. I have lived in Louisiana for 23 years, and I've only lived in Pennsylvania for almost three. I swear, I swear, I was born there in the pelican state, and I can prove it to you because I know how to save my clothes.
Y'all, the only way I can get more Cajun is if I married a Thibodeaux, but then I'd be the butt of all Cajun jokes. That's a story for another time.
The story here is this is my personal blog. I have experimented with many different blogs, but I'm hoping to start anew in a more mature fashion, if at all possible. This story will weave introversion, books, animals, complaints, and thoughts on cultures into new adventures. Because, honestly, on the other end of this screen, I am a young bear in an entry level position trying to do my best to determine my next steps in my life. The more I learn and live, the less I feel like I actually know.
40 odd things about me . . . (Taken from Facebook)
1. Do you like mustard? No, yuck. I just asked for no mustard on my Panera sandwich.
2. Choice of carbonated beverage? Root beer, though I prefer to open cans of soda and let them go flat before I drink them. Carbonation hurts my stomach.
3. Hot dogs or brats? Hot dogs. They don't have bratwurst where I grew up. I first ran into them when a teacher who lived in Boston served them at a get together for the music students.
4. Favorite flower? Succulents because they're hard to murder.
5. Hot dogs or cheeseburgers? I'd rather pick something else, thanks. I don't like cheese, and I haven't eaten a hot dog since I was in elementary school. There are so many other better choices in the world.
6. Favorite type of food? Southwestern/Southern food. I love cumin and chili powder, so fajitas are one of my favorites.
7. Do you believe in ghosts? Yes...unfortunately. I tend to avoid watching shows and movies with ghosts since they scare the bajeebies out of me. I get paranoid and think something is following me for weeks after watching a scary movie.
8. Do you drink coffee in the morning? YES. I savor my cup of coffee, and it usually makes me late for class...
9. Can you do 100 Push ups? No. I think the most I've ever done was 20.
10. Summer, Winter, Spring or Fall? SUMMER. EVERYTHING ELSE IS COLD. I HATE THE COLD. BRING THE HEAT, BABY.
11. Favorite hobby? Reading, writing, watching YouTube videos.
13. Do you wear glasses? Yes, but my dog has a tendency to destroy them. I'm stuck wearing my glasses from four years ago or so because he destroyed my most recent ones. I wish they were cheaper.
14. Phobia? Ghosts and diarrhea. Sometimes seeing loose poop will make me vomit.
15. Nick name? The classic Hannah Banana.
16. Three drinks you drink? Coffee, Water, and sometimes chamomile tea.
17. Biggest Downfall?? Lack of self-esteem and confidence.
18. Rain or Snow? Rain. Get that snow out of here. I hate snow with a passion, and I grumpily stare at it as it falls.
19. Piercings? Ears, but I don't usually wear any jewelry despite having a lot of earrings.
20. Age? Older than my baby classmates who were born in 2000.

39. Are your parents still alive? Yes.
40. Do you like camping? I don't think I've ever been camping. I don't see how it would be fun to pee outside in public. But I like to stay in cabins with working water.
