Okay, so this goes around Facebook randomly every few months, and it’s meant to be for pictures, but I’ve never participated, because I don’t have time to track down all of those different types of pictures.
So, I’m going to adapt it and use it for the next 30 days of blogging.
Day #1: 10 facts about yourself:
1. My left foot is almost a half a size smaller than my right foot. My left breast, however, is almost a half a cup larger than my right breast. I am completely convinced that these two things are related.
2. I am an only child. Sort of. By that I mean that I am the only child born from my particular parents, and I was raised as a singular child in my house. Monkeyface is also an only child – sort of. The parallel disturbs me.
3. I love Black & White. Pink is my favorite color, but I think I love the combo of black & white even more. Dresses, shoes, my bedroom, my bathroom, photographs.. All in black & white.
4. My first kiss was at a fair from a boy named Cannon. It was so disgusting it was another TWO YEARS before I attempted it again. (And with a different boy!)
5. I am naturally a redhead. I color it darker and have for 15 years, but the temperament is still there.
6. I learned to ride a bike without training wheels at age 4. Sort of. My best friend at the time, Anna Banana, was a year older than me and got her training wheels off one day and showed up at my house, so proud. I was immediately infuriated and told her that if she didn’t teach me how to do it, too, I would push her off her bike. (See? Redhead, I’m telling you!) She “taught” me as well as a 5-year old is capable of teaching, and I marched into the house and announced to my Daddy that I rode Anna Banana’s bike without training wheels and he needed to take mine off, too. He got up and did so, although I’d left out the part where I’d actually only ridden about 3 feet successfully. Later that night, my mama came home from work and found her only child with road rash all up the side of her face, and nearly flipped her shit. That’s one in a long line of times I probably nearly caused a divorce.. teeheehee.
7. My dad tried to teach me how to drive when I was 16. His car was a standard, and the “instruction” took place in an empty parking lot and lasted approximately 5 minutes. His patience with me was terrible, and after I slammed on the breaks and he spilled his drink on his white navy uniform, he promptly said “Get out of the goddamned car.” He then announced that I’d better find someone else to teach me how to drive before I took my driver’s test, which was in 3 days. My best friend, V was the one I conned into doing it, and she managed to get it done in 3 days, and I passed my test first go-around. She’s now a Total-Loss claims person for a major insurance company – ha! We’re both pretty big screw ups when it comes to some things, but - we’re pretty darned good drivers! Thanks, V!
8. I started having my nails done in a salon and wearing tips when I was 18 – because I was a nail biter. It’s been 13 years, and I recently took them off so that I could start back up with the guitar, and – immediately, the habit was back, like I’d never stopped.
9. I am terrified of mice and caterpillars. TERRIFIED.
10. I am a chronic organizer. I love little bins and baskets and drawer organizers, etc. The Container Store is like CRACK for me.
Up Tomorrow – a story about the person that I have been the closest to the longest!
