Hey look! It’s time for another round of “Things you probably didn’t know [and things you could probably live without knowing]”. I added that extra bit on the end there. Thought it helped to explain more. Here we go:

1. I got my nose pierced my junior year of college on a total whim, and my Bible study leader Krysta was the one to drive me to get it done. Then I took it out when I started interviewing for jobs. Sad day.

2. I’ve never touched my hair with dye- I think it’s because I know if I do it once, I’ll never be able to stop!

3. I love fun trinkets (especially photography ones), but I HATE clutter. It’s like a constant war with myself.

4. Instead of a green thumb, I think I have the hand of death. I can’t keep ANYTHING alive! Well, except my husband. And Lily. That counts, right?

5. I won’t eat bananas if they have freckles- they have to be consumed right after they lose the greenish hue and are brown spot-free.

6. I floss every day. I realize this isn’t that special, but it feels pretty good not to have to lie to my dentist every six months when he asks if I’ve been flossing.

7. Butter pecan ice cream is the most disgusting flavor to ever grace the frozen confection market.

8. I’m apparently a Chapstick hoarder- I checked my purse a couple of weeks ago and found SIX sticks in there.

9. I’m also apparently a Tide To-Go hoarder- just checked my desk. I have three in the top drawer.

10. Not only will I not buy the same shampoo twice in a row, but the same principle also applies to most products in our lavatory at home: hand soap, body wash, facewash, etc. The only thing I don’t change up is my moisturizer. Clean & Clear, baby!

And because this post could use a little spice, let’s do a giveaway! Check out this sweet tote bag with vintage cameras all over it!Here’s how to enter: leave a comment telling me about the last time you used (or can remember using) a roll of film. That’s it! I’ll pick a winner next Tuesday, and the winner will have 24 hours to claim their prize.

Happy commenting and happy Friday!

Another 10 things you probably didn’t know about me

July 27, 2012

  1. Hmm…well just used a roll of film last week 😉

    Butter Pecan is one of the BEST flavors. Sorry, but you are wrong girl! 😉

    And, I’m pretty sure that bananas with brown spots have more nutrition. Haha

  2. I whole heartedly agree with number 7!!!! Gross me out! Also, I want to get my nose pierced but Joshua think it looks trashy and so I haven’t. I guess my desire for him to not think I look trashy outweighs the desire to get it pierced. The last time I used film was at our wedding. We got disposable cameras for people to take photos of random things and it was pretty fun. The photos were not anything great but it was a fun idea and it gave people something to do while they waited for the fun to begin! 🙂

  3. Hollie says:

    Yikes. The last time I used a roll of film. About a year ago in my Holga. I have yet to get it devoloped. Oopsie!

  4. OMG!!! I am the same when it comes to bananas!!! Its so weird! If there are spots I just throw them away!!!!

  5. Katie says:

    Hahaha your posts crack me up, Abby! I too am a Chapstick hoarder, I have one in all my pant pockets and use it almost every hour to a couple hours. 🙂

  6. Jackie I says:

    i remember last using film at jmhs in photo class…. then the summer before i started college when i went to photojournalism camp at the corcoran. then i switched to digi but i still kick myself about never using rolls anymore because my parents have a darkroom in their house!

  7. Holly says:

    That bag is too cute! The last time I used a roll of film, um, well I’m working on one right now so I guess the last photo I shot on it was yesterday. I love film!

  8. Hannah says:

    Abby!! I love film! I am so excited that I am not the only person still using it. The last time I used film was probably 6 months ago, I started a series of portraits on medium format film taken with my Holga. I haven’t finished the series yet, I think its time to pick it up again!

  9. Meghan says:

    Completely random but I love that bag… I have the matching pencil case I use for extra batteries. And I too and a chapstick hoarder.

  10. Justin says:

    These posts are always the most fun to read. Probably because it allows us to be in other peoples business without actually being in other peoples business! I think the last time I used film was back in April. My fiance, brother and sister in-law and I went to Tennessee for a weekend trip to the Mountains. I had an urge to break out my Pentax K-1000 and snap some nature pictures! It was such a good flash back, and now I want to do more!

  11. Emily Wright says:

    I don’t buy the same shampoo twice either! 😀 The last time I remember using film was Halloween 2007. My husband and I dressed up like tourists, and we each had a Holga film camera around our necks (with film included) and took some pictures of “the sights.”

  12. McCall Doyle says:

    The last time I used film was to take pics of my best friend BriAnne when she came to visit me from Montana after we graduated from college in August 2001. We went on a big tour of NYC since she had never been, and the last pic on one roll was of her eating her first NYC hot dog…in front of the World Trade Center. The towers came down a month later, so it remains a very poignant image for us both.

  13. Sarah Adams says:

    I JUST bought a Canon ae-1, but have yet to use a roll of film yet with it…BUT I did FINALLY use up a roll of film that I have had in my Holga, took a year to use it up- but I did it! And a few good pictures came out of it- but I have a LOT to work on!

  14. Laura says:

    ooh cute bag! i think the last time i used a roll of film was in hawaii…. 10 years ago.

  15. Kaitlyn Phipps says:

    hey abby! unfortunately its been almost a year since I’ve used film!

    it was great seeing you at reston towne center! and i’m hoping to keep my nose piercing :] one of the benefits of ministry i guess hahha.

  16. Hey Abby, we’re soul sisters on #1 and #2! I actually even tried getting my nose re-pierced a few months ago, but it didn’t take and I gave up. Again, sad face. I loved it sooo much!

  17. Alicia says:

    Love this post! (and that tote bag!!)The last time I used film was probably…wow 6 years ago!! I do however still have a drawer full of 120 film in my fridge. I haven’t been able to part with my Mamiya RB67, 35mm or my enlarger either. You may have just inspired me to break out the old 67! I really do miss the big clunk of the shutter and the smell of fixer in the darkroom…thank you Abby!!

  18. Last time I used film was with my Diana+ in 2005! Someone did just give me a roll of 35 though so I may have to get back to it!

  19. Jae says:

    I floss every day too!!! & the last time I used film was…when I could find my SLR. Not sure where I put it in the midst of moving things around a few months ago…

  20. jamie says:

    the last time I shot film was this July as I finished up a roll of film on our family beach vacation! this was fun to read and learn more about you. you are right that every time at the dentist they ask about flossing and I shake my head-i’m not consistent!

  21. desiree says:

    Last time I used film was my senior project in college – just over 6 years ago!!! I need to pick it back up again & try – especially seeing your gorgeous portraits with it!
    I didn’t realize how many things we have in common – I got my nose pierced on a whim on night in college – and I took it out the day after I got engaged b/c I didn’t want to have a nose ring in my wedding pictures!
    I can’t keep anything alive – my garden is a pile of brown plants on our deck roof right now!
    I despise butter pecan ice cream, but can almost eat any other flavor of ice cream any time of the day and any season of the year!
    I don’t like spotty bananas either, and I hoard chapstick as well…AND – I have 3 different deodorants sitting in my vanity right now b/c I switch everything out each time I go to buy bathroom supplies!
    How funny!

  22. Jean says:

    You are too funny. Last. Time I used film was probably 10 years ago. Love digital!

  23. Serena says:

    I am the same way with Chapstick and Tide-to-go sticks… I’m always finding them EVERYWHERE!

    I used some film about a week-ish ago. FujiFilm 400H Pro, of course. 😉

  24. Hmm….Does a disposable camera work? If so, then last month when I was at an amusement park and nobody had a camera. 🙂

  25. Tessa says:

    Hawaii in 2002. I’ve used disposables since then, but those aren’t real ones!!! That was the first place I used a “real” camera!!! LOVED IT!

  26. Karen Field says:

    The last time I used film was about 10 years ago, like Jean.

  27. Sarah B. says:

    The last time I used a roll of film was in my photography class in high school. I absolutely loved my photography class and one of my favorite parts was developing my own film and photos! SO much fun to spend time in the dark room watching your images come to life!

  28. Sarah says:

    I last used film today! And every day last week/this week. Ilford HP5 plus to be exact. 🙂 And I completely echo 5, 6, and 7 on your list.

  29. Alli Cain says:

    The last time I used a roll of film was about 6 years ago on a family vacation to Wisconsin. It was just one of the old yellow disposables but I love those pictures still.

  30. Maria says:

    Haha, I REALLY like butter pecan ice cream! It may be my fav flavor! Different strokes, different folks! And I may beat you on that chapstick thing, it’s an addiction.
