Things about me you may not know (part 1 of 5)

I'm supposed to do 100 of these, but I'm just writing them when they come to me.

1. I love the sound of showers and bath water running. When I was four I would get up when my dad got up, sit on the heater in the bathroom while my large shirt i used as pajamas would blow up like a balloon and listen to the sounds of the shower as my dad or mom were in there.To this day I love hearing the sounds of the shower.

2. I hate the words panties, cukes, ointment, and moist.

3. I love popcorn and salty things. I would pick them over sweets any day of the week.

4. However that being said, here are the sweet things i like, lollipops, tootsie rolls, kit-kat, twix.

5. DING DONGS, they get there own entry. I love them placed in the cold fridge and then eaten. They also taste better with the foil wrapping versus the plastic wrapping. They don't have them in these places, Romania, London, or Back East. Sad for them.

6. When I get the mail or go to get gas, I have to have the key or credit card out and all ready to go. I could be driving for five to ten miles holding the key to the mailbox anticipating getting it, or holding the credit card and playing around with it while I drive anticipating filling up.

7. Once when I was younger I was upset at my brother for scaring me (this happened daily when I took out the bathroom garbage), so I carved his name in the garage. He got sooo busted.

8. I'm not into newborns or babies that much. I mean I like them, but if I had a choice, I would want them at age four and up.

9. I'm still doubting myself that I will make it through grad. school.

10. I write stuff on my hands all the time to remember things I need to do, or a song i want to download that I heard on the radio.

11. My hobbies consist of nothing at the moment, but they used to consist of collecting teddy bear stuff, stickers, garbage pail kids (at which in the first grade my mom and dad told me to stop collecting them and I had to just give them away to someone..at which they said they would pay me the difference to spend on stickers, I'm still waiting for the 16.00 dollars), little mermaid stuff, stamps, scrapbooking, and the most recent but too poor to do it and not enough time hobby of going to concerts and finding new bands.

12. I make my bed about 98% of the time.

13. In high school my tires and wheels were stolen off my car, I got to school and my car was on milkcartons. sad for me.

14. I was homecoming princess my senior year.

15. I love Jim

16. I'm president of the grad. school, school psychology club. I started the club but really had no intention of being the president. It's a lot of work.

17. I'm the National student delegate for Washington State for the National Association of School Psychologists.

18. I'm on the National Council for the NetSmartz Workshop for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children

19 . I grew up next to my cousins in a lovely cul-de-sac. Man the memories of that place. We had to go in when the light came on.

20. I love the movie Annie. For my fourth or fifth birthday I received a handmade Annie doll that was taller than me, a sandy dog from my cousins, the record that I have still to this day, and orphan type clothes (scraps) that were sewn just for me. I pretended to be an orphan a lot. When my mom took me to the movie, she said I stood up the entire time and cried a lot when she was hanging from the bridge. I can recite the entire movie. We rented a VCR and the movie for my birthday.
