Twenty MORE Things You May Not Know About Me
I just find it interesting to see if I can think up twenty things. Plus, this seems to be rippling over the OD community, and I like that. So, here it goes:
1. I can’t go under water without plugging my nose.
2. I’ve been agnostic almost my entire life. I felt there was something out there, but I didn’t know what.
3. Something I just learned about myself fairly recently, after I had my operation, I wasn’t about to take a bath because literally, there was a gaping wound in my throat, and it couldn’t risk getting wet because of chance of infection, so I honestly didn’t bath for about a month there.
4. I didn’t know how to swim without a life jacket until I was eight, and got tired of waiting for my mom to bring mine out.
5. I don’t think I’ve ever done a forward flip in a pool.
6. When I was in grade school, and we were first learning about how black people were treated differently, I came home and asked my dad if we were black or white. (See, now that’s a good way to be! If people didn’t know, there would be no skin color prejudice!)
7. I always hated the kind of girls in my school who never wanted to get dirty. You know, the “oh, my outfit is so perfect, I don’t want a hair out of place,” types.
8. I hated those people who never tried in gym,. You know, the volleyball comes at them, and they stick their hand out in an “attempt” to look like they’re doing something. It’s pathetic. Now, the people who suck, but still try, and laugh while they’re doing it, them I like.
9. I hate the guys who always rush in front of girls, ANY girls, because they think they can do so much better.
10. I have a smiley painted on the hood of my car.
11. When I get a hedgehog, I’m going to name it Smiley.
12. When I was about four, I wanted to be an actress, and thought all I had to do was climb into the TV and I’d be on the screen. The problem? I couldn’t figure out how to get behind our TV.
13. Cadbury Bunny Eggs – shell first, lick creme off finger afterwards.
14. I can never seem to eat watermelon without getting my hands and/or mouth extremely sticky.
15. Watermelon is my favorite fruit, and I can eat probably an entire one in one day. (I’m going to see if that claim is right fairly soon. Challenge from Jason.)
16. Smoking/drinking has always appalled me, and when I was naive enough to think I could keep it, I promised myself that I would never be friends with a smoker or a drinker. (I gave up on keeping that promise, but I try to keep the number to a minimum. People die of enough other things every day, I don’t want to subject myself to people who can get lung cancer, or have impaired enough judgment to get behind a wheel.)
17. When I was a kid and I was sick, it got to the point where I was eating the Luden’s cough drops like candy, and I always put two at a time in my mouth.
18. A few times in middle school, I pretended to know something, or to have heard something about another person, just because when I told it to other people, they treated me like I was normal, instead of an outcast.
19. I had a lisp when I was young, and if you look at my mouth when I say “s,” “sh,” “ch,” or a few others, my mouth looks weird. I can’t describe how, but it does.
20. When I first saw Wizard of Oz when I was about five or six, I was afraid of the Tin Man.
–Notes–
1. I tried the behind-the-tv thing too…didn’t work for me either. 2. Watermelon IS the best!!! But does Jason like, WANT you to get sick?! 😉 3. You would have HATED me in gym class…I gave up trying and stood on the court with my arms crossed. Heehee [Jill*Rose]

Very adorable… what were you sick with? I wrote my 20 list thanks to you, and I wrote about being a teacher… I think it was you who asked (I have the memory of a goldfish). I am the try/fail/laugh type in gym, but I still have a blast! And I think I could beat you in the watermelon in a day thing… time wise! Okay, check my diary for my twenty, cuz u inspired me!

Yeah, Wicca is a fickle religion, but it’s mostly about balance, and being a good person. I had an operation when I was about 2. One on my eye because it was lazy, I couldn’t have it water for 3 weeks, but you still win the bath free contest! Hope to hear more of your entries! [Angel Knight]

Okay, well, the first was an odyssey book about finding yourself… the second was Called TINA it was about a robot girl discovered 1 million years from now after humanity destroys itself. She learns to be human and it’s kinda neat. This one is called Just want to be Held… and it’s about a boy who’s starved for love. It’s a flash back up to about the age of 16 where a whole lot of wierd (con’t) [Angel Knight]
