3 Random Things
Instead of a whole poll, let's just list 3 random things about ourselves. Nothing brightens up a dull board day like a poll!!!
?
Re: 3 Random Things
1. I have to drink root beer when I eat pizza. I have actually brought my own root beer to a restaurant before because I knew they didn't have it. This is weird enough. What's weirder is that my dad does the same thing. Even more strange, I did not know this about him until 3 months ago.
2. I am deathly afraid of forests. Like scared to death.
3. I can gain and lose weight super fast. (blessing and a curse!!) I have lost 17 pounds in a month (yay) and after my 'detox' in Sept, I gained 7 pounds in one week while on vacation (boo).
1. I hate most cheese and all condiments. I can eat pizza but not cheeseburgers or mac and cheese.
2. My stepmom was a BM in my mom and dad's wedding.
3. My knack for uncovering online information sometimes scares me.

this is hard. hmmm.
1. i have hated lettuce my whole life up until 3 years ago. i mean, hated it. couldn't even sit at a table with someone eating a salad. now? i eat at least one salad a day.
2. i have a sister that is 6 years older than me. we were both born in may, our birthdays are 15 days apart. however, i was due on her birthday (may 3) and she was due on my birthday (may 18).
3. i love to eat leftovers, but hate the smell of them - no matter what it is. it literally makes me gag. so if i eat leftovers, my husband has to fix it and reheat it for me.
1. My fingers are double jointed and I can bend them in weird ways.
2. I hate onions but love french onion soup
3. The feel of wooden kitchen spoons creeps me out. Especially when they're wet
1. pretty much all my friends (at least the ones I still like) have the same undergrad major as me even though none of us went to school together
2.I don't like people yet I love to throw parties
3. I don't like cheese or bread, but like most combinations thereof (pizza, cheeseburgers, cheesesticks, bruschetta with cheese, etc.)
My Bio (wedding pics added 7/6)
My 101
1. When I was little, my family had a pet chicken in the house named Peeper. When he got too stinky we threw him outside and he got mean! He attacked my mother and she knocked him over the head with a 2 x 4 several times and he just kept attacking. Finally, my Dad shot him.
2. My hair is all natural. It has never been dyed or highlighted and I have donated it twice to Locks for(of?) Love so far...working on a third time.
3. I am a Daddy's girl and worry about him all the time. I always want to spend time with him when DH and I are visiting them.
1. Pocahontas is my aunt (12ish generation).
2. My dream is to have four kids and be a stay at home mom. Not realistic I know.
3. I think my parents are getting us one of THESE for our birthdays and we might be getting it this weekend. I don't drink a lot of soda but DH does and also loves sparkling water. This is my way of helping us to reduce our footprint and it also seems like a lot of fun! Crossing my fingers that DH will like it!
What? Really? How do you eat all those Lean Cuisines? they all seem like they have cheese or sauce.

Ok, these are seriously so cool to read.
Mames and Leigha-if I didn't like cheese, I would be Kate Moss-thin probably--lucky you!!
Barb-Pochahontas!??? SO freaking cool!
Nanner--shot your pet chicken? That is traumatizing on lots of levels.?
1. I've seen 5 pictures of dead deer on FB this morning on my HS friends' walls. They think I'm crazy because I think its disgusting and "dont understand hunting." Everytime I see one, it makes me gag. I really dont know how i grew up in the same environment as some of these people.
2. Despite my relative skills at cooking, up until Thanksgiving I didnt know how to make mashed potatos. I hate potatos unless they are turned into french fries. Something about the mushy texture just doesnt work for me.
3. My mom was 21 by 11 days when she had me, yet she thinks I'm too young to have kids and I'll be 28 in 2 weeks.

This one is random about your mom, not you. I demand a do-over!

Hahaha. I but non-cheese ones. It really limits my options! I've been trying to break out of LCs, I swear!

1. I have the ability to pinpoint someone's accent within 3 spoken sentences of English. I can often tell where they grew up and where their parents are from. It is a completely useless skill.
2. I get stressed out really easily. Sometimes I just start feeling nervous and I'm not even sure why. Other times the absolute stupidest things make me nervous for no reason.
3. When I was around 3, my mom, sister and I were walking and 2 untamed dogs came up and were jumping and barking. (I thought we were attacked by them.) Since then, I've been scared of dogs and I'm generally uncomfortable around all animals. I do my best to stay away from animals (including C's pet bird who I now live with).

1. I'm still afraid of the basement. I have a finished basement and force my dog to go with me. I'm such a dork about it that I run as fast as I can back up the stairs.
2. I could speak Korean when I was 4. Now I can only know how to say hello, thank you, cat, and airplane.
3. I hate feet. I think they are disgusting.
1- I know a bunch of random (aka useless) facts
2- Spanish was my first language, I learned English when I started school. Yet my moms spanish has always been only moderate. And now my spanish is probably that of a 6th grader.
3- I would tell my pediatrician I was going to marry him and when I met his wife I told her I hated her and started crying.
Haha, this is hilarious and so very cute.

1. When I was three, I broke a fake pearl necklaces and shoved about 30 tiny pearls in my ear canal so I could "wear earrings" like my mum. They had to sedate me at the hospital when they tried to remove them because I kicked and tried to bite the doctor every time he touched my ears. I have yet to live this down.
2. My mum went into labor early Christmas morning the same year as the earrings incident. She woke me up at 3am to open my Christmas presents, then put me back to bed. When I came bounding down the stairs a few hours later to find my presents all unwrapped, and I had a child-sized nervous breakdown. I was convinced Santa hated me. After my sister was born that afternoon, my grandparents brought me to the hospital and my parents (after hearing about the present situation) put a bow on the baby. I proceeded to have another child-sized nervous breakdown and told my parents that this was the worst Christmas ever. I was an awesome child.
3. My engagement ring had to be cut off my 14 year old sisters finger at the fire department in my hometown. My ex-boyfriend was one of the firefighters on duty. The thought of those unbelievably ackward twenty minutes still makes me want to die a little inside. Ugh.
I survived the RoLex wedding and all I got was this lousy husband.
One&Only Palmilla - Los Cabos, Mexico
i have a weird knack for randomly thinking of someone i havent seen in years, then come to find out soon after that they (or someone close to them) had just died. Ok so it only happened to me 2x but it still freaked me out big time!
i like most all foods with a few exceptions: Gummies in any way/shape/form (i like the flavor but I can't chew them - the texture grosses me out!) Same thing goes for dried fruit - its a texture thing. Rye bread - i dunno what it is i just think it tastes nasty.
i have a slight obsession with julian casablancas of the strokes. yeah, i still have musician crushes like a 12 year-old.
1. When I was 5, my birthday party was at a multilevel McDonald's in Amsterdam. The theme was space, and if you went to the top floor, you were "in space". I was absolutely horrified that they might make me go to space, so I probably spent half of my birthday screaming and crying.
2. I went to Disney World more times as a child/teenager than I can remember. If you were lost there, and called me, I could give you directions from memory. I also have a recurring dream that I try to take my husband to Disney World, but we can't get on any of the rides.
3. When I was about 8, I was convinced I had taught my dog to read. He knew how to sit, shake, and roll over, in that order. So I made three signs that said "Sit", "Shake", and "Roll over", and held them up in that order, with a treat. Of course, he sat, shook, and rolled over. I should have gotten the Nobel Prize.
1. I will not wear anything floral because I refuse to wear flowers on my asss. And I really dislike most flowers
2. I am late for everything! The more I try to be on time, the later I will be. Good thing my job is flexible!
3. I dislike the texture of most raw veggies including lettuce, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, etc. but will eat almost any of them cooked.
