35 Things You May Not Know About Me.


I have no good blog material for tonight so... I came up with a list! Yay! What would we do without random useless lists to fill that empty void of a blank virtual page?

1) I burp a lot when I'm nervous.

2) The song, "I Need You Tonight" by the Backstreet Boys makes me cry.

3) I was arrested my first and only time at 15.

4) I cut my own hair.

5) I drive a '99 Mustang.

6) When I was kid, I listened to my Step-Mom's cassette of Rick Astley until it had weird warps in the middle of songs. They got so bad you could hardly make out the lyrics. Yeah, I was that obsessed.

7) I cry when my dad says anything stern to me.

8) I have Panic Disorder. Which means I have unpredictable panic attacks that tend to scare strangers.

9) I had to have my gallbladder removed 2 days after my sixtenth birthday. I went to the ER because I thought I was having a heart attack... But no, my gallbladder had kicked the bucket.

10) I've always wanted to try out for American Idol, even though I SUCK at singing. Lol. (My 15 minutes of fame maybe?)

11) My family tree on my father's side goes back to Mary Todd Lincoln. (Yeah, Abraham Lincoln's crazy wife...)

12) I'm 1/8 Cherokee Indian, from my mother's side.

13) I can't stand turkey, chocolate milk, watermelon, bannana popsickles, or Dr Pepper.

14) I have 2 sisters and 3 brothers.

15) I share a birthday with Michaelangelo.

16) I like to drink A1 Steak Sause from the bottle.

17) I'm a great public speaker. I love it. But I suck at one-on-one conversations.

18) I don't carry a purse with me when I go shopping. I just put my wallet in my pocket. I don't like shopkeepers to think I'm shoplifting just because I carry a huge purse.

19) Taking Benadryl is like having 5 cups of coffee for me.

20) Chemistry was my best subject in high school.

21) I flunked English 1101 my first year of college. Figures...

22) I've kept my hair dyed constantly since I was in 9th grade... I have no idea what my natural hair color looks like.

23) I quit my job at Gap after a year, because I hated having to pressure customers to open up Gap credit accounts.

24) I've run into 3 celebrities in public. I met Billy D. Williams, of the old Star Wars movies, while working at Gap. I met Ron White, the comedian, at a Cracker Barrel. And I met AJ McLean, of the Backstreet Boys, at a Wal-Mart.

25) The summer after I graduated high school, I went on my first mission trip to Pedras Negras, Mexico. That trip changed my life forever.

26) I was bullied in middle school and high school by a popular jock. Later on when I was a Sophomore, he tried to apologize for the things he'd done, like egging my house and making me cry on the bus, but I blew him off. A few months later, he hung himself. I've always felt guilty about having not accepted his apology.

27) The only time I've ever received two dozen roses, was from my father.

28) I lived in Woodland Park, Colorado, two miles down the road when the "Texas Seven" were found and subdued. School was canceled that day.

29) I've lived in Maui, Hawaii in a town called Pukalani. It sucked.

30) I love eating raw bread dow.

31) I was that awkward kid in elementary school who huffed cement glue. :)

32) My mother has been married and divorced four times. My father has been married four times and divorced three.

33) I own well over 600 books.

34) I have double-jointed fingers and elbows.

35) I can tie a cherry stem in a knot with my mouth. (I will Vlog this one day and prove it.)

Kanwalful said...

Wow... You are one weird kid =P

Just kidding.

I hate Dr. Pepper too but i absolutely LOVE turkey and chocolate milk.

Samantha said...

Haha, can't wait to see the cherry tying Vlog one day! :)

Great list! Thanks for sharing a little more about yourself.

Johana Hill said...

That vlog sounds promising and entertaining.

How can you eat raw bread dow? Doesn't it give you tummy ache? Thinking about it alone does it for me. uughhh...

You should write a post on the bullying you suffered and how you coped...

Tuesdai Noelle said...

...this was interesting.

Guess, I'll join in...

My favorite subject is English.

I hate long hair, feels it makes me look short.

My first job was Kaybee Toystore.

I LOVE playing video games.

I can't drink pop, it burns my throat almost to a deadly state. Whoa.

Writes name a thousand times on blank pieces of paper to get ideas

All 4 years of high school, never wore flats only heels

Have an addiction with Ketchup.

Hate the colour red. For whatever reason I think it's just ugly.

Shopping is lip gloss and music all day

Would love to have lunch with Gayle King, we both love to eat!

"I love the sounds of Kate Earl"

Still wants to be a comedienne

That's all I can think of this very moment... :)

Tuesdai Noelle said...

Speaking on bullies, I came face to face with mine (5th, 6 grade buly) years later (15--I think, I might have to retrack) and she was actually VERY afraid of me...hmmm.

When I'm anixous, my mouth get extremely dry.

OK, ha :)

Tuesdai Noelle said...

oh and I just thought of something else....last time hehe....

I've always wanted to colour my hair HOT PINK :)!

Martin said...

I'd be interested in hearing about your run-in with the law at 16. Future blog post perhaps?

OG said...

So no Dr. Pepper, but you'll drink A-1 steak sauce...interesting.

MeCassieMarie said...

haha I would love to see that vlog, sounds incredibly entertaining!

*high fives* Since you are a fellow Mustang driver.

~J said...

I think it's your gallbladder's fault you have panic attacks. Bad little gallbladder...
and if Benedryl makes you hyper, no wonder you don't like turkey, I can't imagine what tryptophan does to you. "Watch out Thanksgiving feasters...it's an Indian on crack... I mean turkey. Give her some Benedryl, oh wait...nooooooo!"
(I can say "Indian" if I want cuz I'm part Cherokee too).

Oh, and...I met Stephen King one time. Now that was scary. I had no idea who my kid had just talked to about fishin lures for 30 mins. I went back in the little tackle shop, realized who it was and had instant visions of a horror movie. Now I'm realllly afraid to read his books...

Barbara said...

Just curious...why did it suck living in Maui?

Christina In Wonderland said...

Seriously? You are awesome. :)

#34- Me too. Only I'm double-jointed everywhere. It's very weird.

#11- I'm related to Stonewall Jackson. People never believe me.

I want to be you, just for a day. Lol. :)

Langley said...

Haha. That's brilliant. And the cherry thing? Kinda seductive.

;)

Stephany said...

Ooh, I can't wait to see the vlog!

And I think we need a story about being arrested at 15, no?

Another David said...

You can't blame yourself for what that guy did to himself. There's no way you could have known.

And I love raw dough, too. Actually, I think I like raw dough more than its cooked product.

Amanda West said...

Kanwalful: Yeah, I've heard that before. :)

Sam: Yes, I will do it one day when I don't look like I just rolled out of bed... Like I do now.

Johana: Raw bread dow is awesome. It might hurt my stomach if I hadn't been eating since I was like two?

Tuesdai: You have an addiction to ketchup? I can't stand the stuff unless it's mixed with mayo. Haha.

Martin: Future blog about run-in with law? Sure, why not.

OG: Dude, it's A1! Need I say more?

Cassie: Yay for gas gusling Mustangs!

J: I'd be scared if I ran into Stephen King, too.

Barbara: I was ten when we moved to Hawaii for my step-dad's job and I didn't like the beach or the weather or the fact that after we'd sight-seen the entire island, there was nothing else left to do, but go to the mall. And it was always full of tourists... And the tourists would watch us and other people like we were some sort of alien species because we lived on an island. Oh and milk was seven dollars a gallon. And I really love milk... So my mom rationed my milk intake and that SUCKED.

Christina: Aw thanks. But really, my life is so boring. I listed like the only 35 things remotely interesting about my life. Haha.

Paul: Seductive? Lol. My husband just thinks I'm weird. I will vlog it though!

Stephany: Yeah, I think I will post about my run-in with the cops. It's actually kind of funny looking back on it now.
