I did this on Facebook, but have the need to share even more random facts and unknowns about myself… I guess I just like exploring me. Plus, I am so very bored right now that I figured what the fudge… why not?!
1. I sing alllll the time. In my car, around the house, I am always singing. Can I sing? I guess. I can hold a note. I always say I can sing in the choir but I’m no soloist. Even though I sung many solos in church growing up…The stereo is usually very high in the car and I sing along with every song.
2. I refuse to take down my Barack Obama yard sign, I don’t know when I will but I am tempted to leave up for the next four years just because…
3. I love ellipses… (also known as the dot-dot-dot) I use them constantly when typing.
4. One eye is slightly lower than the other, my right. I never noticed until my mom told me that my little bother had a lazy eye about a year or so ago. Again, I never noticed his. I looked in the mirror and realized my ass did too. WTF? How do I go 27 years without noticing one eye is lower than the other?
5. I have a horrible shopping habit. I have overdrawn my account so many times I swore I kept the bank in business. I have learned to control the urge, but I have made some impulse buys that had me praying that checks didn’t clear. I shop when I’m happy and when I’m depressed. It’s something about buying an item, it’s like a high. Even something small like new socks. It’s the act of purchasing that I love.
6. Bodily sounds drive me absolutely crazy. Smacking, snoring, sucking teeth, hard breathing… all give me the heebee-geebees! I can not fall asleep next to someone snoring. I have been up half the night because I can not fall asleep due to snoring.
7. Speaking of falling asleep, thank heavens for sleep timers on TVs. I always fall asleep with the TV on. I have to sleep on my stomach but I turn the TV on for the sound. The silence is too much, my brain will not stop going. I will think so much that I never fall asleep, so the background noise distracts me. Does that make sense?
8. I have mastered the art of tipsy. Due to my emetaphobia (fear of vomit/vomiting) I can’t allow myself to get too drunk. The combination of food and water while drinking is very important. Also I think I have overactive kidneys and bladder because I have to use the restroom every 5 minutes once I start drinking. Hence staying tipsy, not drunk.
9. I have a horrible potty mouth! I cuss a lot but some how manage to make it through every visit with my parents with out cussing.
10. My father is a pastor, mom’s the first lady. I understand truly being saved and that is why I don’t claim to be. My parents have unmovable faith. I know the difference between religion and faith. I just know who my heavenly father is. I know tomorrow is not promised, but I refuse to live a lie.
11. Being a teenage mother made me stronger person. I hid my pregnancy until 3 days before he was born. I was scared out of my mind and lived in complete denial. One day I may write a book about it (or at least a blog) but I’m not ashamed. I was simply blessed. Things could be totally different but my story is one that is real and of triumph.
