25 Random Things About Me You Probably Didn’t Know
1. When I was a toddler, my brother and I were
picked up for breaking and entering. We snuck into our neighbour’s trailer and
ate cookies from their cookie jar.
2. I have two dogs and a cat. I used to have two
cats but one was killed by coyotes on Christmas day 2013.
3. My middle name is Marlene, which is the same
middle name as my grandma.
4. I feel like there’s a little alien in my uterus.
5. I had a childhood best friend until I moved to a
new city at the end of Grade 7. We lost contact until I moved back to BC three
years ago. She was my maid of honour at my wedding last summer.
6. I’ve been engaged twice, but only married once.
7. My favourite colour was purple as a little girl.
Everything had to be purple.
8. My wedding colours were orange and blue.
9. Sometimes I think about how every place I’ve
lived in has contributed to my personality, my likes, my dislikes, and the
characteristics that make me who I am. Then I think it’s probably not the
places I’ve been, but the people I’ve met.
10. I
really dislike snow and cold weather, but not as much as I hate fog. It makes
me really angry.
11. I
like to renovate my house.
12. For
my husband’s birthday, I renovated the garage. I even painted a large KTM logo
on one of the walls.
13. We
own three KTM dirt bikes.
14. Dirt
biking terrifies me. I love it, but I get so nervous each time I gear up. My
heart pounds louder than my two-stroke engine.
15. One
time we were out dirt biking and I caught a branch in the neck. My first
reaction was to drop my ear to my shoulder, which made me pinch the branch with
my neck and cause a huge burn to my neck. Once it scabbed over, it looked like
a giant hickey.
16. My
grandpa nicknamed me Sweetpea on the day I was born. He still calls me that.
17. I
honestly believe that if you think positively, good things will happen to you.
18. I
have two brothers, a younger one and an older one.
19. My
older brother was given up for adoption by my parents. My mom was 16 and
couldn’t care for him. We met him six years ago, and now we’re all really
close.
20. Not
all endings are happy.
21. My
prenatal vitamins make me really sick if I don’t take them with food.
22. My
husband is a volunteer firefighter, and I’m so proud of him.
23. I
used to have to wear snowsuits under my Halloween costumes when I was little. I
looked like a fat princess.
24. My
first car was a red ‘86 Ford Taurus. I filled the tank with kerosene once, and
my dad cursed the entire time it took him to flush the fuel lines.
25. I’m
so proud of the life my husband and I have built, and I can’t wait to bring our
baby into it.
I like this short quip about you. 1 was funny which kept me reading so I like that. 5 is amazing I had a very close fiend until grade 7. That is so cool that you guys rekindled your relationship.
ReplyDelete9 is sweet I've thought the same thing everything happens and shit would be so different if I never moved! Next time it fogs ill make sure to give you some space. :) “My heart pounds louder than my two-stroke engine.” Great imagery! I can totally relate I love doing things that make my heart be the only thing I can hear! Then ending is such a cute little happy wrap up. Nicely done thanks for sharing. I feel like this is a fun way to learn a lot about someone.
I find that I enjoy reading these lists more when I know the person. It makes you realize that there's a lot more to a someone than what you think you know. I like the combination of things that I can easily relate to with the things that are so uniquely personal. I seems like these lists are not only about the person writing them, but can also be about connecting with others. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt's neat how there are sort of three different levels of entries, I think. 1. Interesting stuff you learn about the person, 2) Things you relate to (I feel like there’s a little alien in my uterus - been there!), and 3) Things that make you think WTF is wrong with this person? Fog makes you angry? What the hell? :)
