Post 18: 105 Things About Me

1. I was born on August 15. It was a Wednesday night.
2. I have never been patient; I was almost born at the entrance of the hospital.
3. When I was born I wasn’t breathing and it took the doctors awhile to get me to breathe.
4. I was 10 pounds at birth and looked like an Indian baby (dark skin, jet black hair and dark eyes).
5. I was born in Syracuse, NY but I’ve lived in Wooster, OH; Melbourne, Australia (where my dad was born and raised) and Penn Yan, NY.
6. I currently live outside Columbus, OH and have lived here for the past 11 years.
7. I probably won’t ever move again.
8. I am in the middle of two boys; my mum used to tell me I was the cream in an Oreo.
9. I’m glad I was the only girl in my family growing up.
10. I have a slight stutter.
11. I rarely get embarrassed but when I do my ears turn bright red.
12. My best friend is my little brother. He’s 18.
13. I think Gerard Butler is hot. Especially in 300. He made me want to become a Spartan woman.
14. I’m really good at mimicking accents; however the only accent I can’t mimic is the Australian accent.
15. Which is really weird because A. I used to have an Australian accent, and B. My dad still has an Australian accent.
16. I lost my virginity to a cute boy in the woods near a baseball park. Classy I know.
17. I was way too young.
18. I’ve been in two car accidents.
19. Neither was my fault.
20. The first one happened when a guy (who was driving a mere 2 blocks to buy cigarettes might I add) ran a stop sign.
21. The second was when a lady pulled out in front of me (she claimed she couldn’t see my car, even though it was a summer afternoon and I was in a bright red car). I broke her axel which caused her back wheels to fly off. Ha-ha, take that witch.
22. I hate ketchup and peanut butter. Yet I love Vegemite and Nutella – I guess I’m more Australian than American.
23. I have a cowlick on the back of my head which causes my hair to poof up when I wear it down, no amount of straightening it helps.
24. I once got alcohol poisoning after drinking waaay to much vodka at a college party. I then passed out and ended up vomiting in a litter box.
25. Nearly 3 years later the smell of vodka still makes me gag and throw up.
26. Ask me about the story sometime. It's quite funn.y
27. I'm a cheap drunk. It takes only a couple of beers or a few shots to get me drunk.
28. I’m known as the Movie Quoting Queen. I could probably talk all day using only movie quotes.
29. I know a lot of useless knowledge, mostly about pop culture.

76. I thought about suicide at one point in my life. If it hadn’t been for the love of my family I would’ve jumped.
77. I want to cry whenever I hear about someone committing suicide because I know how it feels to have no hope but I was blessed with the love and support of my family, which is something not many people have.

100. My niece is the love of my life.
101. I have a love/hate relationship with my boobs. I love them because at times it's nice having slightly-larger-than-normal boobs. However running is not so fun. I fear one day they'll smack me in my face and leave me unconscious (sp?).
102. My mum has no idea where I got them. Every woman in my family is average/below average. Lucky me. Ugh.
103. I hate closing my eyes in the shower. I have this weird fear that when I open them someone will be standing there. This has resulted in many gallons of shampoo ending up in my eyes.
104. I love Pantene Pro-V Ice Shine shampoo and conditioner. I used K-Ten's a few times when we shared a bathroom in college and fell in love with it.
105. I enjoy watching One Tree Hill and Gossip Girl.
