OR: Random Rowdy 25 on my blog 'cause I don't have Facebook and I'm never going to. So there. Now for a list of things you probably didn't know about me before.
1. I shave my armpits. Not with a razor and shaving cream but with electric clippers. I think it looks better and my deodorant seems to work better.
2. I don't like chocolate.
3. I had my left nipple pierced for a year. I now know what a natural endorphin pain killer high feels like.
4. I don't like to touch raw meat and have a box of latex medical gloves to wear when handling raw meat in the kitchen. This only happens about 50% of the time though as this 'thing' or 'phobia' or 'weirdness' hasn't totally taken a deep seat in me.
5. I have never seen the movie Titanic.
6. If there is something on Ebay with "rowdy" on it, I normally buy it. I have tins, beer signs, clothes, books and license plates from 4 different states that all say Rowdy on them.
7. I have had more than one concussion.
8. I didn't learn how to swim until last year, 2008.
9. I have been shot at. More than once.
10. When I travel do a different state I buy a case of Nallys Chili (Thick) and bring it back to SD with me. Even if I have to take it as a carry on onto the plane. I always get extra TSA screening on my bags when I do this. But I looooove this chili and it is not sold in So-Cal.
11. I will watch a rented DVD on fast forward the whole way through if I think the movie is boring or I don't like it.
12. I wrecked my first car at age 16 in an end over end roll. I have never been in another big wreck. I've spun off the road a few times doing minor damage and that is it.
13. I never ever wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row. I don't use the same shampoo two days in a row. I don't use the same toothbrush two days in a row. You get the idea.
14. I have killed a rattlesnake by throwing a rock at it. Then I skinned it and gave the skin and rattle to R.D.'s little brother.
15. I have spent 28 days in a hospital in one stretch.
16. I am absolutely terrified by scary movies. No Jason, Freddy, Boogeyman, Saw or anything like that. If there is a psycho killer, knifes, blood or any sort of jump out and scare you BOO type thing, I refuse to watch it. My imagination just takes hold of things like this and runs wild. "Real" stuff that is scary doesn't bother me though.
17. I can't parallel park worth a darn.
18. I barely graduated from high school but I have taken a formal IQ test and scored 138. I think it was all about motivation.
19. The very first time I wakeboarded I got up the very first time and rode all around the lake. I was jumping the wake my 4th time wakeboarding.
20. I have half a fake front tooth from running face first into playground equipment. As an adult. This came in really hand when the first day of a new job I was going my great white shark impression on a Big Hunk candy bar and ripped out the fake part, leaving me snaggle toothed the first 3 days on the job.
21. My first fist fight was around age 8. My last was around age 28.
22. I have had my driving privileges revoked twice. Good thing I have lost them as many times as I have also.
23. I've bought prescription drugs in Mexico.
24. I don't have a nickname. No one has ever really given me one and none have ever stuck.
25. Building plastic model airplanes was one of my greatest joys as a teen.

I see where my problem with scary movies comes from now (#16). I have the exact same problem as you do :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I was kind of surprised there were a few of those that I didn't know before this.
Who knew, I think we must be kindred spirits!
ReplyDelete(#4)Okay, so yesterday, I worked out really hard, I kicked butt, big time!. I then decided to go for a Jamba Juice run and ordered my fav, Pomegranate Heart Happy drink. This drink is nothing short of awesomeness! if that's even a word, hmmmm...don't know. So anyway, here is what happened, I am all set and totally pumped to get my fav drink. The girl at the counter took my order, I wasn't really paying to much attention to her, then she hands me my change, all... down hill from here. I have serious germ issues, I mean serious!!!, I am much better today, than a few years ago. It got so bad for several years that it even started affecting my hubby, poor guy, he even began having some germ issues himself, pretty bad huh. It got so bad that I even had to get on some medication so I could just get through the day in one piece, sad, so seriously sad, I know, what is wrong with me!, I'm dis functional this way!. However, I digress, back to the girl at the counter. When she hands me my change, I look down and reach out to take my money and notice with great displeasure, her finger nails!!, underneath them is a build up of what can only be described as black gunky!, dirt!, crude!, god only knows what germs were crawling around under there, I was sick!, sick to my stomach!, I wanted to tell her to keep the change, but seeing how it was 20.00 bucks, and me being frugal with my money and all I didn't see a way out. I just couldn't see telling dirty fingernail girl! to keep it, so I reluctantly stuck my hand out (I am having to keep myself from vomiting here!) for my change. The dirty germ infested girl then proceeds to walk over to make my drink. Ugh, I..., I just didn't know what to do, she was touching everything with her germ infested fingers, I could see in one fail swoop me having to call the doctor immediately following this disaster and get put back on meds promptly. I was so sick I could barely stand to watch her infest my drink with her germy hands. My drink is finally made (the infestation complete!). She hands it to me, I walk out the door, walk pass a trash can, not even a second thought as to where this drink was headed. Yes, yep I sure did!!!
(#11) and I thought, I was the only being in this world who did this. My hubby thinks I'm so oddballish. I think he may be right on many levels.
I have to tell you that I've started to become a regular reader of your blog. It just seems right since Diane is so important to me, that I get to know you better, too!! I love you guys, and pray for your journey. Thanks for the info., updates, thoughts and insights. Love, Cindy
