It's
Monday night and I'm trying to pass the time while finishing my
breathing treatments and winding down to sleep. The basic guideline is
to come up with as many random facts as you are years old. So let's see
what ridiculous things you and I are about to learn about me....
1) I'm a textbook Pisces. Damn feelings.
2) I graduated from high school, got married, got divorced, then started college. I'd call it white trash if it weren't me, but because it is, I refer to it as "living backward".
3) I have to have volumes on increments of 5. I WILL correct yours.
4) Up until like two days ago, I despised shopping. I don't know what happened, but my mom got more shopping out of me last weekend than she has my entire life. And she was so happy to finally have a shopping buddy she was practically skipping through the mall.
5) I firmly believe that all color schemes should include black and white zebra patterns with hot pink accents.
6) I grew up on a ranch where my dad bred and raised Quarter Horses, one of which he brought to my school and let my entire class take turns riding around the parking lot for my 8th birthday.
7) I've been baptized twice. (My mom forgot about the first time.)
8) I'm happiest when I'm traveling, taking pictures and listening to live music. If I can wrap all three of those into a single occasion I'm one happy pup.
9) I'm beginning to realize that 90% of the time, I like animals more than people.
10) My dad was wrongfully sent to prison when I was 9 years old and died there when I was 16. The world has never known a better man. He is my hero.
11) Some might consider me un-American because of the sheer number of classic movies I've never seen.
12) Because of complications with my digestion due to CF, I drink goat milk. No, I don't salivate when I pass a goat farm any more than you do when you see a cow pasture.
13) I've played piano since I was 5. I'm fairly out of practice, but I can play better by ear than I can read music.
14) I hate talking on the phone, but I'll text for hours on end.
15) When I eat pizza, I eat the toppings and bread separately. I also eat only the toppings off of my last slice.
16) I type 120 words per minute.
17) I can't tell a joke to save my life. Delivering the punchline is always my downfall. That, or the fact that the joke sucked in the first place and I was the only one who found it funny.
18) Fire fascinates me.
19) I had my license revoked at one point for too many speeding tickets. I'd like to think I learned my lesson, but I still average around 45 for residential and 80 for highway.
20) Back in 2005, my ex Justin and I went to jail overnight together on our first date. I was taken in for a speeding ticket warrant (see exhibit 19) that to this day I SWEAR I paid and him for being drunk in public. Of the 14 hours we were there, over half of mine were spent in the waiting area with our arresting officer who flirted shamelessly with me while Justin sobered up in the detox tank and overheard every word from, "So does he treat you right?" to "Let me take you out and you can play with my siren".
21) I hate hate hate math. I understand that to some, there's comfort in knowing there is one indefinite answer. My problem comes from not being able to figure out that frickin' indefinite.
22) My furbaby, Biscuit, is named after Family Guy's Brian's mom, not the pastry.
23) I'm a total closet 80's hairband fan. There's something about that cheesy, electrically synthesized excuse for noise that makes me smile deep down inside.
24) Some girls collect purses. Some hoard shoes. I heart panties.
25) I've had a recurring nightmare at least twice a week since September 11th that wherever I am is in danger and I can never get a hold of my loved ones to say goodbye.
26) My intuition is so accurate it's scary. I just never listen to it.
27) My full heritage is British, Irish and French. I adore London, which I attribute to my British side; The Irish are lots of fun, so I claim them too; But I don't usually acknowledge my French side because, well, they're assholes....
28) I'm a firework. Katy Perry said so.
