eek! more surveys!!!

[alisavalley]

okokok... i know... i've been completely horrible and only doing surveys and nothing of real substance.   and to be honest... i really dont have an excuse for it.  my life has not been interesting lately (hence the no real substance part), and i've been trying to look for work, and i've been working a little bit more at HV, and theres a whole big HV drama going on... blah.   and actually, do you want to know what my biggest reason for not updating a lot?  do you?  it's this little thing called youtube thats been sucking my life away a little bit at a time.  so addicting!!  it's kind of crazy.

anyway... so, i still dont have anything of substance...ish... but i do have a list of fifty things about me (including things i've done, and things that have happened to me and so forth)

1. 
   almost crawled into a bathroom stall while another person was inside and i didn't know.
2. 
   was once taught by a teacher who answered her marriage her proposal with "i think i'm going to be sick"
3. 
   have only hyperventilated twice.  once was when my long-time crush emailed me, and the second time was the first time i ever saw Orlando Bloom in the Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl Trailer.
4. 
   received a goose egg on my head when i slipped on a patch of ice... while being held tightly by my two friends.
5. 
   have been told a total of four times that i am (and i quote Book Friend) "a friend (they) wouldn't trade for anything."
6. 
   have had school mates harass my little brother because he is autistic (this was when i was in fifth grade).  still have never received an apology from them.
7. 
   witnessed a man kiss a woman, and then soon after came out of the closet.
8. 
   was dared to light up a lightbulb with my braces.  this was during a science lesson in elementary school in which we had two wires and had to hook them to this tiny lightbulb to make it light.
9. 
   once caused milk to come out of History Friend's nose because i inquired how she could go from being really cold to really hot within a span of five minutes.
10. 
    was about to ride "Countdown to Extinction" at DisneyWorld (beforehand my mom panicing that the ride would break down while we were in it, and a Dinosaur would stop right in her face), when an employee came up to our group and told us that they were sorry but the group ahead of us got stuck in the ride.
11. 
    have been forever scarred against Ramen Noodles because my Zoology teacher referenced an animals small intestines to ramen noodles.  (this action itself didn't really do much, but when i went to the grocery store with my mom and passed ramen noodles... i decided he was kind of right.)
12. 
    was hit by a pink paintball by a driver i didn't see while i was walking home from middle school on St. Patricks Day.  the action kind of ruined the holiday for me.  (now, take out "kind of")
13. 
    had a teacher go into a coughing fit after saying the word "possessed"
14. 
    had a cheeky teacher from New Zealand.  He loved to stereotype.  it was fricken hilarious.
15. 
    had a customer ask me if there were any more "Bourbon Supremacy" movies in stock.
16. 
    had a customer come up to me and say "i neeeeeeeed To Kill A Mockingbird" to which i responded "um... please dont!!"
17. 
    have been turned down when asking a boy to go to a dance.  its one action i fully regret.
18. 
    I believe men dont listen 90% of the time
19. 
    I believe women are too emotional and logical about situations 90% of the time.
20. 
    i have a dead on valley girl accent.
21. 
    i believe that the best female character ever is Sydney Bristow from Alias.
22. 
    i have never been intoxicated but i have been buzzed and i dont like it.
23. 
    cannot help but be offended when someone doesn't like a movie i love dearly.  i'm trying to correct this.
24. 
    own a car with only one side mirror because the second was broken off by a mailbox that was not at all damaged in the collision.  My mirror on the other hand was completely shattered.  There wasn't a single scratch on the mailbox that wasn't already there before the accident.
25. 
    i cannot comprehend America's obsession with Britney Spears.
26. 
    i was infamous in high school for a binder that i collaged all over the front and back of... and i didn't really put much effort into the collage, but everyone loved it.
27. 
    left a fish ornament and a box of fishsticks on the doorstep of a gay french teacher with my friend.
28. 
    the most relaxing place I've ever been to is Estes Park, Colorado in the second week of June.
29. 
    I simply cannot make a convincing mean/menacing/angry face.  i can try with all my might, i just end up failing.
30. 
    i live with three stupid but amusing dogs.
31. 
    i named all four dogs i've lived with.
32. 
    Singing is a deep passion of mine, but i dont proclaim to be excellent at it, but i've been complimented on my singing several times.
33. 
    I'm absolutey horrible at arguing.  I cannot think of a clever retort, or a comeback or a quip fast enough.
34. 
    i'm known to dogs as the official butt scratcher.  like seriously.  if i've given any dog a butt rub, everytime they see me, the first thing they do is twirl around so i can scratch their butt.  it's kind of annoying sometimes.
35. 
    i'm highly skeptical when a young person gets engaged to their first or second sometimes third boyfriend.  like, big time skeptical.  i just dont think it happens that fast.  i mean, under different circumstances i'd be more accepting, but most cases i hear of are not those special circumstances.
36. 
    my brother and i are the youngest of all of our cousins.
37. 
    i collect dice, playing cards, and blank journals.
38. 
    i'm kind of into names and aliases.  i have at one point been known as "Jessica" "Shannon" "Madison" "June" "Rinny" "Sheri" and "Nadine" (Nadine was actually not my idea, but um... a teacher mispronouncing my real name... like so bad, i dont even want to get into how she got Nadine from my real name.  because it's just kind of mind boggling).  these also include books i've written myself into. 
39. 
    I enjoy speaking like i have relationships with objects and people i really dont have any such relationships with.  such as "Britney Spears and I are not friends.  We are kind of nemesises.  Christina Aguilera and I, though, are best friends."
40. 
    My father is Iranian, my Step-Father is Black, and my brother is Autistic.  Talk about diversity.
41. 
    I tend to wear boys shirts sometimes, (they're pretty cool!), but uh, one day i wore a boys shirt, and it was on the same day my crush wore the same shirt.  i was kind of... mortified.
42. 
    was once thought to have shouted a boy's name down a highly populated hallway but this is incorrect, for it was My Best Friend who was hiding behind a set of lockers who really shouted it.
43. 
    once broke into the locker of My Best Friend's crush along with her.  it's probably my favorite memory of high school ever.  i'll be discussing it soon.
44. 
    saw Air Force One fly over my school while i was waiting to be picked up on September 11, 2001.
45. 
    My long-time crush once turned around and asked this weirdo who had a crush on me why he had a crush on me... right infront of me.  It's probably the most ironic moment of my life.
46. if my information is correct, the first movie i ever watched was Lady and the Tramp, which was when i was around a year old.
47. I believe the first movie i ever owned was Camelot on VHS.  i dont remember how old i was, but from the handwriting on the box, it was before i was 10.
48. apparently the first song i really liked was a song called "Somewhere Out There" by Linda Ronstadt and someone else, from the movie Fievel Goes West... my mom says i was just an infant then, and when the song came over the radio i'd just stop everything and go rigid and hold on to my moms finger as it played, and then when it was over, i'd go back to doing whatever i was doing.
49. i dont know what my first CD was, but i remember one of the first ones was the first NSYNC cd, which i was influenced to buy in Middle School because i saw my cool friend take it out of her backpack.  So, seriously i knew nothing of them at the time, and i bought the cd, and i liked them.
50. i fired a gun once.  it was in sixth grade when they MADE us shoot a shot gun at a "camp" that took up three days of school called "Outdoor Ed".   i was secretly hoping something would happen that would cause us to cancel the shotgun segment so i wouldn't have to do it.  alas, nothing happened, and when my turn came, i took my turn and i got on the ground, and i shot the shotgun, and COMPLETELY missed the target.  it kinda sucked.  shotguns kick back and like kill your shoulder.
