    10 Things You Didn't Know About Me

    I love About Me sections on blogs. Hell, I even read the About pages of company websites. I'm just nosy like that.

    While some About Me pages are just the boring old, "I like to blog," I have found some that are quite fascinating - and the witty prose I find there drives me to read that blog on a regular basis.

    I change my own About Me page quite often...probably too often. What can I say, I have a lot of important shit I want you to know about me! So when the urge struck me today to revise my About Me page again, I decided to do something a little different, and create this post instead!

     

    10 Things You Didn't Know About Me

      • My grandfather almost killed me once. Accidentally - we were riding a backhoe and he flipped it over on us. I wish I was kidding, but we really are that redneck.
      •  I dropped out of high school on the first day of my senior year. Pretty bad ass right? No. It was stupid. I went back and graduated the following year (after realize what an idiot move that was).
      • Speaking of graduation - I was 6 months pregnant when I graduated high school. I'm classy like that.
      • I bought the home my dad grew up in, in 2009.
      • I talk to my dogs and cats. A lot. I also call my cats assholes. A lot. They deserve it. My fellow cat owners will  understand.
      • I am obsessed with motorcycles and will ride as a passenger...but I can't work up the courage to ride one myself.
      • I cry when I see dead dogs and cats on the street.
      • The first time I saw Van Wilder - that scene where Van Wilder acquires the crème for those pastries? I threw up.
      • When I was in Kindergarten, I used to day dream about growing up and marrying David Hasselhoff so I could ride in Kitt.
      • I joined twitter in 2008 because I heard Mark Hoppus of Blink-182 was on it - they are my favorite (living) band. I used to tweet to him, not realizing that the entire world could see my "you are the god of bass players" tweets.

      lol These are great! I talk to my dog and cats all the time, although it is usually the ferrets that get called names when they bite my toes.

      When I was in kindergarten, I used to pretend I was in highschool and my homework was the dr. Seuss books from the reading corner...

      Very cool! I love motorcycles and plan on purchasing a Harley someday. Yes, I have two assholes running around my house too!

      I talk to my dogs - my male is such a jerk too. I call him worse when he deserves it.

      I dropped out of high school too, but I think it was two weeks into my senior year. Best decision I ever made.

      I cry about dead animals at the side of the road too. Whenever I see one, I repeat to myself, "He's just sleeping! He's just sleeping!" Because apparently I'm 4 years old & my subconscious mind actually believes that & feels better.

      I love about me pages. I get annoyed when people don't have one. I'm nosy and I want to know about the person behind the blog.

      I can't handle dead dogs and cats. So sad. I think of my own cats and I freak out.

      You make me laugh!!! But I do want to slap you for dropping out on your last year. However, you did go back so I'm gonna have to take the slap right back. And I just asked my daughter if she ever calls her 3 cats assholes. She said "hourly." 🙂

      This was fun! Yeah, I sometimes call my cats that too, though I love them dearly. I also get very upset when I see a hurt, or dead animal. It breaks my heart and I cry too 🙁

      I like your style!

      That is too funny. Except the dead animals one. I cry, too. 🙁

      I love about me pages too. I remember wondering where you went senior year-and when I finally figured it out I was sad. In the end though, things worked out -and that's all that matters.
