You were dying to! 11 weird facts about myself. Lets see if I can come up with 11. (because we all know I am in no way shape or form weird or any kind of abnormal)
1. I have a fur child named Maddie, this is well known, but what you didn't know (probably) is that I looked for Maddie for years. I mean years. I talked to people from Craigslist who had cocker spaniels for sale or free, I went to pet adoptions, I went to stores but none of the ones that I saw were my Maddie. I had a name for her and I knew exactly what I was looking for. Then one day I talked to my papa about it seriously and we talked about going to this place that had breeders and rescued puppies. Didn't really want a puppy and he said "its easier to say you're sorry than to ask for permission". But let me tell you, when I walked in a saw that golden face with those green eyes and the pink nose I was like "huh, potential." I walked over to her and she got on her hind legs and scratched at my thighs for me to pick her up. It was literally love at first sight for the both of us. I cannot have another animal at the moment because she is the one. But if I ever did... A black girl (some kind of spaniel, doesn't need to be cocker) named Juliet or a multicolored boy named Scampers.
2. I went to college for English (waste) and ended up with a degree in English studies, a degree in Pyschology (another waste) and then after all that I got my masters in Business Administration with a certificate in healthcare management. This one is what I am currently working with, but I had the job before I finished my degree. So the 45k that I owe in student loans to get a degree I didn't really need, just pisses me off.
3. I was born 10 days late. The week before Christmas (which is tomorrow). And ONLY because my mothers doctor was going away for the next week and she didn't want someone else to deliver me so she was induced the day before he left for Christmas vacation. Otherwise who knows when I would've come out. I may have been a Christmas babe.
4. I haven't been to many of the US states, I really haven't been anywhere much compared to how big the world is. But I have been to 20 of the US states and to some Caribbean hotspots(Jamaica, Belize, Mexico, Honduras, Cozumel, Dom. Republic...) BUT I have been to Bermuda 4 times in a span of less than 6 months. This was due to me finding a hot guy who lived there on a visa (he was born and lives normally in Scotland. Yes the accent got me). He flew me to and from every time. I need to find someone else like that...
5. My closet generally only has blue and black clothes in it. I went to go pack for a recent trip and I realized all I had out were blue and white stripped shirts and jeans. -_____-
6. When I was a kid and living in NY, I set my backyard on fire. Not on purpose. The whole back 40 was engulfed in flames. The chickens were frantic in their coop until papa cut them out and they flew off (they all came back around when it was dinner time though, even the ones we could've lived without. Mean red eyed bastard). All the trees were singed. My mother called the fire department and the person who took the call asked to speak to "an adult" so they didn't get there any time soon. But eventually everything was taken care of.
7. My family didn't find out that I had hearing difficulties until I was in elementary school. Then my mother apologized for years for all the yelling she did because I couldn't hear her and she thought I just wasn't listening.
8. I get nervous when I have to call people. This pretty much stems from the fact that no one can ever hear me on the phone. And if they can hear me, they don't understand what it is that I am saying. Its not that I mumble or anything. Its just that I talk so softly (yes even though I'm deaf, it's weird I know). And down in VA I have an accent so some people don't understand that either.
9. Since moving from NY I have lost all the weight that I gained after high school. I didn't gain it the "freshman fifteen" way though because I hated college and going out and all that jazz. I did it while working with the fucking kids at the school I used to work for. I don't know how the kids these days are obese because let me tell you, the food that they ate, fuck... 50 pounds. When I moved down here I worked really hard to get it all off. Now I am at my high school weight again and if Im lucky I even get below the high school weight. I would love to be around a buck twenty, but shiiiiiit. That's gonna take me a little while and even more hard work. But I'm working on it.
10. My boss and I fight like cats and dogs, husband and wives, brother and sister, you get the drift. There are days when we get along great, there are days when we don't. He is one of those people who always think that they are right. NO MATTER WHAT. I could put out evidence in front of him and he would tell me its incorrect. I could say something like "why are we changing things when we've always done it this way" and he'll say "what have we always done why don't you understand". He gets under my skin like no one else, but he also puts up with my shit on a daily so I cant complain too much.
11. I am the first person in my family to graduate from a four year college and I am the second youngest. Granted, some have done two years, but I hold the record for a four year degree first. Then comes my brother.
Facts, weird or not. But facts. What are yours?
