50 facts about G.

In an effort to think of something to blog about, I decided to do a "get to know me" thingy.

I've seen other people do these sort of things, and I personally enjoy them.

My parents might be the only ones who sit through this, but I'm being vulnerable and laying it out there. One night in bed, I jotted these down on my iPhone.

So here goes....

1) I have crooked pinky fingers.  I inherited this trait from my dad, and my daughter inherited it from me. If I'm ever involved in a crime, I would imagine my pinky fingers would be used to identify me.

2) I was a fat kid. For realsie. One day when I'm feeling bold, I'll post a picture.

3) One summer I grew from 4'11 to 5'5. That helped with the chubs issue.

4) One time I streaked the neighborhood.  Like butt naked, with a towel as my cape, yelling "I'm Superman!" Thankfully this was before I was a fattie.

5) I used to snore like a 350 pound man. Just ask my sister.

6) As a child I had mono so bad, I had to be hospitalized. This resulted in the removal of my tonsils and adenoids. My mom says after that was the first time I ever really tasted food, and thus why I got fat.

7) My senior year of high school, I got the English award. I really think that decision was based on the fact I mastered Beowulf.

8) I'm so bad at math it's embarrassing.

9) I think the left side of my brain never developed, because I'm a right brained person in almost every sense.

10) In high school I was in dance, band, drama, and choir.

11) In high school I was suspended for drinking alcohol at a party.

12) I have a natural ability to dance. If I could make a living at it, that didn't involve a pole, I'd be in.

13) I have zero athletic ability.

14) I really enjoy getting the mail. You just never know what might be there waiting for you!

15) Other than faith, Paul and I are complete opposites.

22) I love getting to know people. I ask lots of questions and am intrigued by their stories.

23) I can walk into almost any room/situation and find my fit. I'm not shy and can usually have fun anywhere and with anyone.

24) But please don't ask me to speak publicly. Then I'm shy.

25) I feed off others energy.

26) I'm not a natural leader.

27) I'm sure that one of the things that attracted me to Paul, was his leadership qualities.

39) I think it would be cool to be Celine Dion. Not to be married to her 800 year old husband, but to command a stage like that.

40) I think beer is disgusting.

41) I have an issue with diet coke. I'm sure it's giving me brain lesions, but I cannot quit it.

42) Flying really scares me. When I do fly, I take some happy pills, that way if I crash I won't care.
