Confessions

There is a girl that I have never met, but I feel like I know her well. When I was in Spain all I heard about all the time was Kelly Wills this and Kelly Wills that. Occasionally I would even get jealous (in a “gee-I-wish-people-talked-that-highly-about-me” kind of jealous). Anyway, occasionally I still read her blog, which I love because she always has me laughing. Anyway, I stole this idea from her blog (which she apparently stole from her roommate). So here are twenty random facts about me that nobody else knows. I feel like they are more confessions that facts… hrm... here are my confession:

1- Not only did I own a spice girls cd for years, I still sometimes enjoy their songs

2- When I was a kid I would dream about going to the Olympics and winning a gold medal. I would even act out how I would react when I won.

3- When we were kids I always felt like I shouldn’t get along with my brothers, so I would call Christopher dumbo (his ears were huge!) and annoy Mike because I didn’t know how else to tell them I loved them.

4- When my brother, Christopher, and I emptied the dishes in our house we would fight over who would empty the top rack and who emptied the bottom because neither of us likes the feeling of glass on our fingers.

5- I once stuck a knife in a toaster and didn’t have feeling in my left hand for days, but I was too afraid my parents would be mad so I never told them.

6- I have never been skinny dipping.

7- My first kiss was in kindergarten with my neighbor – Mike Lombardo.

8- My first real kiss was when I was fourteen with my best friend’s cousin (who’s name was also Mike).

9- I have a very visual mind, so whenever people tell stories I am actually visualizing everything they are saying. That explains why phrases like “bust a gut” make me laugh so hard.

10- I used to manipulate the security guards at my high school – I would talk to them and become friends with them and then when I wanted to get away with stuff I always did because they didn’t believe that I could/would do anything wrong.

11- When I talk to people on instant messenger I actually laugh out loud when I am by myself (and when people are around).

12- Christopher likes to tell a story about how he chased me around the house with a rope tied around me and then told me to go upstairs and how once I got up there he picked up the rope and pulled me down. I always act like I think he is really mean for doing that too me but deep down I think he was clever and wish I had come up with that idea.

13- My favorite childhood cartoon was Carebears. I still get REALLY excited when I see them.

14- When I was sixteen, I got into a minor care accident. Since I didn’t get a ticket and it didn’t go on my record I just tell people it wasn’t my fault. In reality, it probably was.

15- I used to be addicted to watching ALIAS (The tv show). I don’t really like it anymore, but since I got so many other people addicted to watching it, I feel like I still have to.

16- My brother’s favorite game is boggle – I don’t really like it that much but I tell everyone I love it because I feel like it gives me another way to connect to him.

17- Sometimes I make up excuses to go over to my parents house because I don’t want to admit that I actually enjoy just visiting with them (emphasis on sometimes).

18- Even though I always talk about how I never want kids – secretly, the older I get the more I know I want to be a mom some day.

19- When my brother and I fought over doing the dishes we would always end up taking big, sharp knives out and chasing each other around the house.

20- Chicken is the only meat I eat. I have never told anyone that I don’t actually like chicken either. It is just easier to say, “sure I eat chicken” then, “I hate all meat, including chicken. Oh yeah, and I don’t eat fish.” No one would ever invite me over for meals.
