I’m back for day 2 of Boy Oh Boy’s 31 day blog challenge! Today my task is to share 20 facts about me. How does a numbered list grab you?
- With the exception of two semesters of dorm life, I lived at home until age 27. I make no excuses for this. The rent was free and the food was good.
- I organize my DVD’s alphabetically.
- I’ve owned nine cars since I was 17. I totaled two of them.
- I flunked out of my first college after my second year(I had a problem “focusing” and “applying myself” Also? I “HATED THAT SCHOOL”). I enrolled in a community college the next semester and made the dean’s list for two years straight.
- It took me four years to finish that community college, because I was working full-time to pay for it.
- The first time I dropped the f-bomb in front of my mother was while we were making cut-out Christmas cookies. Happy effing Birthday, Jesus.
- I can read a 300-page book in less than eight hours.
- I can quote entire episodes of Friends verbatim.
- I’ve seen The Exorcist exactly once. It gave me nightmares for a month. I can, however, watch Jaws any time it’s on TV.
- I like the Rolling Stones, but I prefer the Beatles. I’ve loved the White Album since I was a kid.
- My first summer job (at age 15) was as a Saturday morning cleaning lady at a resort in the Poconos. Up before 6 am, scrubbing toilets until 2. Worst twelve Saturdays ever.
- I can flip my eyelids inside out. Yeah, it’s kind of gross.
- I love comic book/superhero movies even though I’ve never actually read a comic book. Related: I am RIDICULOUSLY excited for the Avengers movie this Friday.
- I’ve visited New York City three times in the past year and it’s rapidly becoming one of my favorite cities. If I had limitless resources I’d own a fabulous loft in SoHo for weekend trips.
- Chicken Marsala, chocolate chip cookies, and Italian Cream cake are my best recipes.
- With the exception of two or three trips to Canada, I’ve never been outside of the United States. I hope to change this eventually.
- I do voices when I’m feeling silly.
- I’m an only child.
- My least-favorite household chores are folding/putting away the laundry, mowing the lawn, and doing the dishes, in that order.
- Fresh pineapple is my favorite fruit.
I love grilling pineapple! Lovely list Jenn. 🙂
