well...i wasnt sure if i should do some "special birthday blog" or something...but i figured there is no rule book to this whole thng...so i can pretty much make it up as i go
so im going to attempt to put down 22 little known facts about me...for...as the title indicates, the 22 years ive been calling present in earth class
so here goes:
1. on my left temple, right beside my eye, i have an indention of a cap gun that i got hit with by my friend walker (note: we are no longer friends...i think this incident did us in) when i was 3 in daycare
2. when my dad used to take me to his office after school at whatever church we were at at the time i would go to either the fellowship hall or some other big open room (except the sanctuary...that place did and still does freak me out when im alone) and fake preach...i would even take prayer requests from "the congregation" made of whatever items i found lying around...some of them would even be unspokens :)
3. i dont like books or movies that have plots of things that couldnt actually happen in them
4. my job aspirations when i was younger were as follows: register person at the grocery store (so i could scan things with the laser) garbage lady (so i could ride the back of trash truck holding on only by the bars on the back) or mac truck driver (so i could sleep and eat in my truck...it seemed pretty all inclusive...throw some coloring books and play doh in there...its pretty much a party)
5. i remember filling out salvation cards for myself on at least 18 different occasions because everytime i would go to a camp/retreat/convention i would convince myself i "just needed to make sure"
6. i have shared the gospel with and prayed the sinners prayer with a stuffed cat
7. i cant count how many sermons i have heard my dad preach over the years but the only acrostic/outline i can remember is G.I.F.T.S. guidance....intention....falsehood...treasure....switching the plans (this one has a hand gesture to go with it
8. i will eat food i dont even want if it means i can have some dipping sauce...i am a sauce fanatic...and when i worked at chick fil a i would try different sauce combinations to make my own flavors and then recommend them to customers
9. until last march (2008) i had NEVER read an entire book...word for word...cover to cover...ever...not even for school...and then i got put on the adhd meds and 4 weeks later walked into barnes and noble and read 3 books for 7 hours straight without stopping
10. i started playing golf because i was in wal mart with my dad one day in the sporting goods section, he put a golf hat on me...told me i looked like a golfer...and at that moment...i just decided id start playing
11. i stand my ground pretty solidly but there are about 3 people (not including my parents) that are in my life that i am convinced could talk me into just about anything
12. when i talk to myself, 94% of the time it is in some strange voice...this is how i learn to do all the voices i do
13. i literally remember the exact moment that i realized i was funny
14. the only details about my wedding that ive thought about are 2 things: i want to walk down the isle barefoot...and i dont want it in a church...i have zero idea of why either one of those things are important to me
15. the only time i was ever in the principals office was the first day of first grade when i hit a boy for telling me to shut up
16. in 8th grade i spent my friday afternoons volunteering at the local assisted living center calling out bingo and hangin with the old folks...i decided to take on the challenge of making every resident a stress ball...it took me 1 month and a half to do...when i finally took them in...all the residents were told they were for poking flowers into...that was my last adventure at the assisted living center
17. the only thing i remember about my 6th birthday party at chuck e. cheeses is putting red pepper flakes in my brother and his friend that he was allowed to bring's pizza...and then also in their drinks because i knew as soon as they ate the pizza theyd need to cool it off by sipping some coke...im still pretty proud of this somewhat evil genius
18. i LOVE LOVE LOVE news magazine shows...i cant get enough of dateline, 48 hours, 20/20, and 60 minutes...
19. amaretto ice cream with pop rocks=HEAVEN
20. i add/remove names for my future children based on the feelngs i have about the people i come into contact with from day to day (i.e. in kindegarden there was a girl named tina who took my lunch money everyday...therefore i will not be naming my daughter tina...on the same note, i have never met a sarah that i didnt like)
21. at sports camp in 5th grade i decided to sign up for gymnastics and i was so uncoordinated that the coach by the 1st session of the 3rd day gave me my own mat in the corner so i could "work at my own pace"...i didnt even get to play in the foam block pit...bitter still? a little
22. i can do a MAD toe touch...and i havent cheered a day in my life
there ya have it folks...22 uncommonly known facts about yours truly...ill get back to regular posting tomorrow....
hope you enjoyed
HAPPY OCTOBER 26th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
