| 101 Facts About Me |
| 05.01.04 (3:39 pm) [edit] |
|
JennsAbsent has a list of 100 things about herself - while tblog was down early this a.m., I came up with this list. So - thanks to Jen for the idea. ;) [b]1. I’m a native Atlantan. 2. I’m an only child. 3. I placed 3rd in jr. regionals in figure skating when I was 11. 4. I won my school’s spelling bee 3rd – 7th grade. 5. I interned for a republican congressman in DC (NO Monical Lewinsky jokes - but I wore a beret back then too!) 6. In high school, I was ranked one of the top debaters in my state 10-12th grade. 7. I was the first girl to join Key Club in my high school. The next year – 30 girls applied. 8. I had a dog named Daphne growing up. I named her after the character from Scooby Doo. I thought she was beautiful. 9. I had a MAD crush on Speed Racer and Donny Osmond. 10. I broke my arm falling off a bike when I was 12 – my mom didn’t think it was broken for 3 days. (MAJOR GUILT! LOL) 11. I met Henry Winkler as a kid. (The Fonz was SO dreamy back then) 12. I performed at the Grand Ole Opry when I was 13. 13. I met Tom Wopat that day too. (I’d rather have met John Schneider, but who can be picky when it comes to the Dukes of Hazard?) 14. I was hit by 2 drunk drivers within 12 hours when I was 19. 15. I was hit by a wrong-way hit/run (assuming) drunk driver 2 years ago that totaled my car. 16. My first college roomie went home after 3 weeks b/c she was homesick. 17. My 2nd college roomie was the daughter of the Minister of Treasury for Panama and was a MEGA coke dealer. 18. I have a brown thumb, but I still keep trying. A plant entering my home has a death sentence. 19. I was a finalist for a reality-tv show. 20. I have 34 purses total. Including 11 black ones. (Why???) 21. I have over 200 pairs of shoes, organized by season, color, heel height and occasion. They are in color-coded and labeled in plastic boxes. 22. My shirts are organized by color, sleeve length, occasion and season. 23. I have perfectly straight teeth - never wore braces. Instead, my mother had braces and I was soooo jealous! 24. My mom is an interior decorator to the ridiculously wealthy. (Ask me about some of the stories – they will crack you up!) 25. I didn’t speak to my father from the time I was 13 – 21 and again for the past 6 years. 26. He’s a headhunter/executive recruiter. 27. I am a recovered diet coke head. I’d do a 12pk a day. Coke stock is down significantly since I stopped. 28. I’ve NEVER consumed a Pepsi product. (It’s an Atlanta thing.) 29. I’ve never seen an episode of Cheers, Seinfeld, Star Trek or Alias. 30. I have a MAD crush on Ty Pennington from Trading Spaces and Extreme Home Makeover. (I wonder if it’s just b/c he could do me AND home repairs?) 31. I’ve never been married. 32. Never even considered it. 33. I can’t imagine the concept of having to share closet space. 34. Never lived with a man (except a male roommate briefly) 35. And I kicked his ass out after 3 months b/c he was a SLOB. (Another series of funny stories there if you want to learn) 36. I have no kids and have no desire to spawn. 37. Couldn’t even if I wanted to. 38. I used to be the queen of LDR’s. (Long Distance Relationships) Miami, Rome, Dallas, San Diego, Chicago, back to Miami, Houston… 39. And that was BEFORE the internet was around. 40. I was the scandal of 7th grade b/c I was dating a boy that was 16. 41. I wasn’t allowed in his car. 42. We’d meet at the mall and walk around holding hands. 43. My classmates were sooooo jealous. 44. His father owned a large jewelry store. 45. My mom said I should have held on to him. (LMAO) 46. I still have the gold ID bracelet he gave me (somewhere) 47. I got my first “real” kiss at 14 from Matt. 48. He was a childhood friend’s little brother – but he grew up. (hee hee) 49. I have dated six guys named Matt. 50. Vinny Testaverde was at my 18th birthday party. (He was a friend of my bf at the time) 51. I have a SERIOUS weakness for Latin men – particularly Cubans. 52. A guy can read me a grocery list in Spanish and I get weak in the knees. (I exaggerate a little…) 53. I’m fluent in French – but getting rusty. 54. I understand most Spanish but I sound like a fool trying to speak it. 55. I love the smell of gardenias. 56. I’m not a fan of roses. 57. My bedroom is a pale purple – with 16ft ceilings – and I painted it all by myself. 58. In high school, I had dates with 2 boys in one day. They encountered each other at my front door as one was leaving and the other arriving. I carried it off like a champ! 59. And I smooched them both! ;) 60. I ended up buying the first house I saw – but I insisted on seeing another 50 before making a decision. 61. I had a goal to buy my 1st house by my 29th birthday – I made the RE atty move the closing date up to meet my goal. 62. I love to cook – I make great pesto, sangria, and have a great “knack” for improving recipes. 63. I have a monstrous recipe collection. 64. I’m a published author and poet (I got paid for it). 65. I read at least 1 book a week. That was a resolution several years ago and I’ve stuck to it. 66. I always have bottled water with me. I drink like a fish. 67. I’ve broken/sprained my ankle 7 (or 8) times since I was 18. 68. I've kept a journal since I was 6 and have a trunk full of them! 69. I got a double-barbed fishhook caught in the bone of my finger. That ended my fishing career. (Ask me about my father chasing me around his apt with a pair of pliers!) 70. I convinced my 7th grade class to jump out of our paddleboats in the middle of the lake at Stone Mountain Park on our graduation trip. No one pinned it on me. 71. I never had detention. 72. I was thrown in “juvey” my first night at college for minor in possession - I turned 18 the next day. 73. There were some hot beers in the trunk of my roomie’s father’s car under his golf shit. 74. We were on the way to buy beer (but the coppers didn’t know it) 75. The charges were tossed out. But it was great for our reputation – to be busted our first night at school. Subsequently, I was a little sister for “the” frat on campus. 76. I was a radio DJ for the largest college radio station in the country and “the” alternative station in town. I quit after a year in the “big time”. 77. I DJ’d weddings for extra money. (I HATED it) 78. I did phone sex for research for my thesis on communication between the sexes. 79. I don’t have cable or satellite tv. Otherwise, my ass would prolly never leave the sofa. 80. I’ve truly been in love 1.5 times. 81. I have a Dive Master’s rating (although I prefer “Dive Mistress”). 82. I’ve fed black tip reef sharks with a 3 ft. pole 83. I dropped the pole when a Bull shark appeared. 84. I never win at gambling, lotteries, etc. 85. I haven’t eaten “fast food” in 15+ years. 86. I haven’t touched a potato in 3 years. (Except a sweet potato on T’giving each year) 87. My favorite dish would be fresh tomatoes, sliced with buffalo mozzarella, fresh basil and olive oil. 88. I looooove Mango Rum. 89. I have a chipmunk that lives under my driveway – I call him Alvin and I refuse to run him off. 90. I love pedicures – but only if I do them myself. I don’t like strangers fondling my feet. (Note, non-strangers are ok if they are hot dudes.) 91. The scene in Bull Durham when he paints her toes drives me nuts - in a good way ;). 92. I double-majored in college in Communications and Psychology with a minor in Film. 93. I have a bubble bath every Sunday evening except during the summer. 94. I can’t stand air conditioning. 95. It takes me less than 30 mins to get ready for work, a date, etc. 96. It’s a popular misnomer that I’m high maintenance. 97. I collect quotes that I really like. 98. I love cheesy disco and early 80’s music. 99. I’ve been to Antigua, Aruba, Belize, Bahamas, Grand Cayman, Mexico, Honduras, Jamaica, St. Croix, Puerto Rico, Tortola, Virgin Gorda, and I’m leaving a number out… 100. I don’t have any fears of heights, speaking in public, etc. But, because I’m so accident prone – I won’t even consider skydiving or bungee jumping. 101. If there is a mosquito within 3 miles of me, it will find me and bite me on the one spot where I don't have bug repellent.[/b] |

You must go to the Bahamas for Mango Rum. Although I have some stockpiled....
When I was in one of the liquor shops, I saw something called "Erotic Rum." Intrigued, I asked the shopkeeper if they offered a money back guarantee. (He didn't seem to get the joke.) Nonetheless, I bought a bottle. I haven't opened it - something about "Fire in the Hole Erotic Rum" scares me.
If I can figure out how the fuck to get pictures from my camera onto my 'puter again, I'll post it.
I took pics of my bush yesterday but can't get it to upload...
Glad you liked my list. Happier now about the "anonymity issue"? I knew you couldn't hold it against me forever!

Great list... I did one a while ago and I am still thinking of ideas. I have dated 3 Brians... At one point almost all my friends were dating Mikes... it got confusing.

When you date multiple dudes with the same name, you start with the nicknames - like "kilt boy", "plane guy" something to keep things straight when you gossip about them. On the upside, you never have to worry about calling out the wrong name!
