8 Random Things

Ok, one of my Jaiku peeps, James decided it would be fun to learn 8 random facts about in the form of a meme. I’m sure he will need beer for this! Cheers mate, this is for you!

1. I think bubble gum and chewing gum are from the devil. I hate watching people chew it, worse yet, listen to it.

2. I set my parents 7 acre lawn on fire when I was 20. The whole damn yard. Ask me sometime, I might tell you the story.

3. I quit smoking 11 years ago, and recently have been struggling with the addiction again. I don’t want to give in. Not because of the money, but because I am stronger than that. But some days? I truly struggle.

4. I love shoes. Yet? I am always bare foot.

5. I never wear a watch. I have a fancy one from the jewelry store, and I rarely wear it. Like, I think I wore it 3 years ago last. But, I keep the thing, because it was gift and it is sentimental.

6. Speaking of sentimental….I am one. I may not appear to be…but I am. A genuine emotion is more important to me than a million dollar diamond.

7. I have a book written and will probably never publish it. Because of the people involved, and who it would hurt. Writing it though? Was very cathartic and I am my best audience.

8. I get emails all the time asking me if I am really as crazy I say on here. The answer to that? More so, you only get snippets. I have embarrassed hair clients, business partners and boyfriends alike with being in public with me. My underwear breaks down, I ask for floss that has a good erection (see what that does for my google searches), I go through the drive thru and tell them to “make it to go”, I will use my finger as your napkin, and think nothing of it. If you can’t handle this kind of social awkwardness, I don’t know what to tell you.

So who to tag? Yes, Helen, that would be you. I’ve dedicated a whole post in your honor because you needed to know about me being in public. And I know you have appliances breaking down. Spill it.

Who else? You know what? I don’t know. I see you coming here and yet you don’t say anything. So, if you are reading this, leave a comment and let me know you are here. Or if I should shut up. (I’ll be really sad if no one talks to me). Rush off and tell me things about yourself. Be a luvie and just do it ok?

If you do it, I’ll tell you about my recent bra fitting appointment I went to, and I’ll just tell you that the 90 year old conservative lady who did mine wasn’t appreciative of my back tattoo, or that I told her I wanted a bra that could hold up the sinking Titanic. But that has velcro fastenings to help the guy out.
