Seven Random Facts MEME
January 14, 2008 Seven Random Facts About Me - MEME
I was tagged last week by my awesome bloggy friend at Chicken Fried Therapy to write Seven Random/Fun Facts about myself. I am not sure if I even have one fun fact... so I am just putting a laundry list of seven things about me...
#1 – Addicted to buying Anti-wrinkle cream
If you open my medicine cabinet you will see at least 15 (no exaggeration) different types of anti-wrinkle cream. (And there is probably another 30 in the linen closet). I feel if I rotate the creams it will work better? Ya, exciting stuff so far right?
#2–Naturally talented in Volley Ball
At 5’11” tall I get all the stereo typical comments like you must have played basketball in school?? UM, no I can barely walk and now you want me to dribble a ball and run. Not happening. BUT I am a natural a volley ball. Now it could be that me and my friends were always drunk on the beach or I was just more determined to spike your face because I thought it was funny?
#3–I have ink.
I have a beautiful tattoo on my lower back. It was two years before my mother even knew I had a tattoo. I was afraid of her. Heck, I am still afraid of my mother. But it is my last tattoo... I had no idea how much they hurt. I would love more... but no way... giving birth was easier than getting a tattoo.
#4 – I Do Not Do Baths
I never understood the lure of taking a nice warm bath. I am a shower person. I don’t have time to sit in a bath and get all prune like.
#5 – I hate Swings
I am the only dork in the world that I know that gets Swing Sick. If I swing for more than a minute I want to get off and throw up. However, if you took me to an amusement park I am the first one that wants to go on the ride that has you hanging from your feet as you do HUGE circles in the air. Makes no sense at all.
#6 –I laugh at inappropriate times
My favorite inappropriate laughing story: A very good friend and I were at work and were going outside to smoke a couple of years ago (yes I used to smoke) and normally both glass doors were open so I would take a door and she would take a door. Well on this particularly day, her door was locked and we did not know this. She went FULL FORCE into the door making the LOUDEST crash sound ever (the door did not break). She fell to the floor and was in a daze (she was okay- i promise). She hit the door so hard her face left an oil mark of her side profile. Did I help my friend up? NOPE, I was bent over hysterically laughing. And then proceeded to laugh the entire day. Hell I am laughing writing this. I am a terrible person.
#7 – I loathe Tomato Juice
I am getting ill just typing that I loathe tomato juice. I don’t understand how people can drink cold tomato anything. Bloody Mary... blah, I need a V8 double blah.

You see now I am ADDICTED to baths. If I am stressed I have been known to get up in the middle of the night just to have a bath - the hotter the better. It's like medicine for me...
thanks for doing this! loved getting to know more about you -- and of course we have even more in common...I too am addicted to collecting anti-wrinkle creams and age-defying serums. I am most definitely a shower person, not a bath person. and I DESPISE tomato juice. although about twice a year I really feel the need for a bloddy mary or a cesar. but that nasty tomato juice HAS to be thinned out with vodka and I must be distracted with pickled green beans or a giant flowery celery stalk. And I have to SHOCK my mouth with homicidal amounts of tabasco
loved the post!!!
I've been thinking about getting a tattoo as well. My mom gives me the evil eye everytime I mention it. :)
I'm on board with the no baths thing too. Why would I want to wash my face in the same water I was my butt? :D
#6 is true for me, too! Is that really inappropriate, though? I mean, I laugh at myself when I do something stupid & hurt myself, so of course I laugh when others do it!
Oh, and your tat hurt because you got it in a bony spot. My lower back was probably the most painful. My other places with more meat didn't hurt nearly as much. (FYI- in case you ever reconsider!)
omg...we could, like totally, be friends in real life. I'm obsessed with anti-wrinkle creams and i think it's driving my hubby crazy (yay...2 birds one stone!) have you tried a product by joey? forgot what it's called but, it's an instant face life...awesome stuff! lift fusion sucks...keep your 150 bucks!!
and...baths are for babies! tomato juice...i think i threw up in my mouth...oh hell, it's not in my mouth anymore!!!
but...i suck at volley ball...although, you could play with my hubby, every stinking weekend in the summer!!
btw...you won something on ashleys blog...first impressions!! so...congrats chickie!!
xoxo
I laugh at inappropriate things, too. Needless to say, your story about your poor friend had me in stitches.
I don't do baths either. Also, I used to smoke too, and I always laugh at inappropriate times. In fact, I laugh over everything! haha
1. The $5 bottle of Vitamin E at the store works better than all 15 bottles of your cream. Combined. I promise.
3. Me too. But I want 1500 more.
4. Gross. Sitting in my own filth? NOT for me.
5. Finally! Someone who understands! I'd rather have a root canal than swing.
7. My hell will be V8's 3 times a day, everyday.
hi, first time here, hope to be friend..
You are so my favorite neurotic bloggy friend! Honestly, judging from your list here, I'd say you're family. ;)
Another inappropriate laugher! I can relate, BIG time. The only remedy I have (which only works half the time) is physically hurting myself. I'll bite my lip till I draw blood sometimes, pinch my hand or arm and leave great heaping red welts behind, all to stop laughing at the worst possible times. Often, I end up laughing at me trying to stop laughing, and loud choking sounds come out. HahaHA!
First I must apologize. You've written like a gazillion posts since I last visited! And great ones! What's wrong with me... Ok, so the glass thing. WAY TOO FUNNY! I was at the mall a few years ago and this lady walked into the glass at a Victoria's Secret or something and left a perfect smooshed faceprint on the glass. I could not stop laughing! What is it about a faceprint that just makes you laugh years later??
Tomato juice make me cringe.... You know the weird thing? I have never actually drank it. But heck, I dont want to.. Gross! But I can def relate to the anti wrinkle creams,LOL.... I am not finding anything that work!
