Seriously...

A woman at the Acme last night told me that I reminded her of Ally Sheedy because of my "sparkling brown eyes." Huh. That's a first. I always get either Mariel or Margaux Hemingway, but I've never gotten Ally Sheedy before.

So, since I'm feeling sicky and am bored, I'm going to share some random facts about myself. Everything you never wanted to know! In return, I expect some random facts from you all. Don't hold back now *pokes you*


* I still know all the words to the Criss Cross Sprite commercial rap from God knows when... 80's? (To the, tick-tock get up, stop, you put the can in your hand and just pop the top...)

* In Highschool, I took voice lessons from Joan and John Cusack's first cousin, Margaret.

* I have slept, and will always sleep, with security blankies for my entire life (yes, I used them to ward off vampires; yes, I took them to college; yes, my boyfriend tries to steal them when I'm asleep. The bastard.)

* After sobbing my way through it once, I absolutely refuse to watch Harry and the Hendersons ever again. (Damn it, what stone-hearted person can watch that dry-eyed, when they're throwing things at him and telling him to go away and all he wants is to be loved?)

* When I was little, I used to collect earth worms. Lots and lots of earth worms. I made my friends collect them as well. I'd stuff them in pencil cases and picnic baskets.


Er... I think that's enough. Share away!

I'll play!

* When I get scared (or upset), I run to a closet and stay there.

* I'm petrified of thunderstorms and curl up into a ball on my bed.

* I own 9 baby name books and not a baby in sight for me. I've been collecting them since I was 14.

* I took phenobarbital from 10 months to 6 years.

* From about 6 - 10 years old, I used to collect fiddler crabs and snails at low tide.

* I refuse to go in the ocean because jelltfish live there and they're evil beings. Also? Sharks swim around people in Myrtle Beach, and I don't wanna be near them either.

* The only room in the trailer where I lived with my parents with a lock was the bathroom. When I wanted privacy and to piss my older brother off, I used to go in and lock the door and sleep in the tub. The tub wouldn't be full. I would just lay there comfortable.

I got stung by a jellyfish in Hillton Head two years ago. Most painful thing EVER. Plus, my foot blew up and it itched like a mofo for weeks.

Ooh, my foot touched the top of one and I hailtailed it outta the sea and onto the sandbar. I haven't been in since. I did have to walk in muck (you know, the marsh) and got cut on an oyster shell. My heel is still rough there from like 11 years ago.

Guh. I can't stand walking in something that I can't see the bottom of. *shivers*

[veracity]

And that is why the Atlantic is an evil ocean that I refuse to step foot in. Yes, indeedy.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes. Evil. Still, if I have a floaty I'll go in it and just not touch the bottom :) If the water's warm enough, that is.

[veracity]

Yes, but eviiiil jellyfish still live there. *nods* And sharks. No thank you. The pool (if I were to ever again put my body in a bathing suit again, that is) is just fine for me. No icky critters in there.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Agree. Pools are the safest places. Although I'm that fond of public pools because... well. Public.

[veracity]

True. That's why you use your apartment community's. ;)

I don't use public pools. I remember Whitewaters E.coli scare. Not aiming to gain that, thanks.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Ewww. E. coli. Bleh.

[veracity]

I know right? Some kid went in the pool.

Now see, *that's* I don't want a kid. Ever.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

That kid wasn't socialized right. Eryuck.

[veracity]

To say the least. And people from like 7 other states got it too.
