25 random facts about me.
This is from facebook, you're suppose to tag people and stuff, but I won't do that here...if you want to do it too- go ahead!
1) I'm not as tough or as confident as I let on.
2) I spent the majority of my teenage years going in and out of youth psych wards. I was misdiagnosed with manic depression- then doped up with all kinds of drugs that were suppose to "help me" but everything just made me worse. I spent a month in a psychiatric ward in Pittsburgh- where they took me off all the medication I had been put on, told me I had ADHD and then put me on all new pills. Turns out- I don't have anything, I just had a lot of issues as a teenager and teen hormones suck.
3) My hair color changes atleast 3x a year.
4) I met my husband in 1998, he told me he loved me on our 3rd date. My response? "Ok........?" I told him i loved him back on our 5th date.
5) I am known as Amanda to everyone I work with, Manda to all my friends, Faery Rocious to all my derby friends, and MANMAN to my super special friends.
6) I spend most of my freetime playing the sims pets. My goal was to breed a cat and dog and make a cadog- turns out, that's not possible.
7) I loved all of the Harry Potter books. I can't wait for the "Half blood prince" to come to theaters.
8) My favorite movie of all time is "Labyrinth"- yes, the one featuring David Bowie's codpiece
9) My ex-boyfriend would often say things to me like "Our relationship is a lot like Yoda and Luke Skywalkers. I feel I can teach you, and make you a better person." For realz.
10) I have panic attacks while driving. That's why I rarely drive.
11) Matt and I have been married 2x. The first time was for insurance purposes before moving to MN in March of 2005, the second time was October 2005. that was the big church wedding with family and friends. We don't celebrate the March one, because that was a technicality.
12) I have a children's book that I wrote and Matt illustrated that I am too chicken shit to attempt to have published.
13) I was at the 2003 March for Women's lives in Washington DC. I held a sign that said "My Body, My life, MY CHOICE!" Matt, Amber and I were among 1.5 million marchers that day. It was an amazing feeling.
14) I thought High School was a joke. My average grades were C's and D's. I skipped school about 3x a week and was a regular in detention and in school suspension rooms. I was home schooled for 6 months because that was the only way my parents felt I'd be able to learn anything.
15) I didn't know who I really was until I moved to Minnesota. That's when I blossomed into the person I am now.
16) I party too much, I drink too much, I eat too much and I don't give a shit what you think.
17) Secretly I wish I was a stay at home housewife. I hate working.
18) I have some awesome friends. And I love each and every one of them.
19) I got a Cocker Spaniel for my 16th birthday- I named him Lestat Louis Armand. "Interview with a vampire" anyone?
20) I turn 30 on May 1st of this year. I love it when people say things like "You're 29? I thought you were only 24 or 25."
21) I love to watch cops. Especially when they go on prostitution stings.
22) I'm quitting smoking. Again. I started smoking while I was drinking last year. I then became addicted again...now I'm quitting again. This is day number 3 of being smoke free!
23) My favorite food is sushi. I often daydream about eating sake nigiri. infact- now I have a huge craving.
24) I want kids, but I'm too selfish to give up my wild lifestyle to be a responsible parent. I'm waiting a few years until I get it all out of my system. I said that 2 years ago too.
25) I have random crushes on just about everyone I meet. It's kind of sad, really. But I've been this way all my life.
