25 Random Things
1. I met the love of my life when I was 6. He had the best eyes I'd ever seen.
2. If I lost my talent and could choose another career, I'd be an MMA fighter or a doctor. Or maybe both.
3. When I was 19 I was pulled over 7 times in one month for speeding, twice by the same cop, and never got a ticket.
4. I am really good at getting into trouble, and then getting away with it.
5. If I won the lottery, I would travel the world and go to school for the rest of my life, studying art, music, language, literature, history, and medicine.
6. I am a vegetarian for health reasons, not for animal-rights reasons, but they are important to me. The sight of meat makes me sick, but I try to hide it to be courteous to others.
7. I'm a terrible liar.
8. I would be miserable, if it meant everyone else could be happy.
9. I have been unjustly harassed by cops several times and held my own. As in: I yelled and they backed down once they realized I was too smart for them. This all happened before I was 17. CORRECTION: I have been unjustly harassed by the cops more times than I can count (clearly, because I forgot some major occurrences..) Twice was before I was 17, several after. And the most recent was when I was 23 here in VA. Of all these times I kept my mouth shut twice, thinking it was the adult thing to do. The first time I kept my mouth shut I got a ticket for something I did not do. The second time I was sure I would have been beaten and arrested if I didn't cooperate after they made their bogus accusations.
10. I have the combined personality of my maternal grandmother and my paternal grandfather, right down to their love for bourbon.
11. I have always been a tom-boy and will always be one of the guys. Yet, I love dresses and high heels.

16. I'm quiet. Not shy.
17. My ambitions are larger than the length of my life thus far and I can only hope to live long enough to accomplish half of them.
18. I loathe shopping. Like REALLY hate it. It's a wonder I have clothes that aren't from the mid-nineties. I guess I love clothes more than I hate shopping.
19. I believe my fear of spending money holds me back in life. But hey, at least I'll die with a fat bank account. Wait-what?...
20. I bleed paint.
21. I believe in the goodness of people. But hate people for constantly proving me wrong.
22. I would fight a 6'5 300 lb man, standing up for someone I never met. I don't know if it's because I'm fearless or stupid.
23. My husband constantly reminds me that I'm not a 6'5 300 lb man.
