1. I am and have been a certified SCUBA rescue diver since I was 21.
2. I consider myself pretty fearless; however, I do have an irrational fear of birds for some reason.
3. Ever since I turned about 16, I've had my bubba keg, a 64 oz water container.
4. The summer before my Senior year of High School, I got super sick, when my mom took me to the ER because of how violently ill I was, they thought I could have menengitis. The only sure fire way to find out is a spinal tap. They did the spinal tap, it came back negative, they sent me home. I was bedridden for the next 2-3 months because I was in the 10% of spinal tap recipients who experience "spinal headaches" and I still get occasional echoes from the procedure.
5. In college, my roommate and I had bunkbeds.
6. I gave my sister her first haircut.
7. In light of #6, I have a hard time using scissors.
8. Love love love jigsaw puzzles. Have always done them with my dad.
9. I accidentally named my dog Baxter. We first got him when Anchorman came out. I was laying on the floor singing the "Baxter you are my little gentleman" while holding him over my head. My Mom asked me what I was calling him and I said... "Baxter" and thus I named the dog.
10. The dog before Baxter was named Marley. We got him from Scrooge, who wouldn't get us a puppy for Christmas. My aunt brought him over in a wrapped paper box!
11. My mom came in the kitchen during the circle of life one time, I was standing on the counter, pretending to be rafiki, holding Marley over the kitchen floor. I am lucky to be alive after that one.
12. In school, I was frequently bored and hated constraints, so I often pushed the assignment "rules" as far as I could.
13. My 9th grade english teacher wouldn't let us write papers with the words "I" or "you" in them. I slipped up, and my paper that was graded by 2 peers missed the one time I used the word "I" in a paper. I got an "F". The next assignment was to write about a time when you were punished. I wrote about getting an F on my previous assignment.
14. 810 people walked at my high school graduation.
15. I woke up under a pine tree one time.
16. Don't play hide n seek with me, I end up getting Ollie Ollie Oxen-freed a lot.
