Random stuff...
justmmy shared some random rl facts and asked others to share so I thought I'd give it a whirl... some of you prob. already know some of this...
+ I have absolutely no idea where my username came from! I don't even like frogs (although the poisonous ones are really pretty to look at)
+ My all-time favorite book is The Westing Game and I have read it at least once every year since I was in 6th grade and it still makes me cry everytime...
+ Along those same lines... I have 7 floor-to-celing bookcases in my room and they still cannot adequately hold all of my books (however, I have read less than half of them... not because I don't want to but simply cuz there never seems to be enough time... and two of the bookcases are what I inherited from dad when he died so I haven't even started on those)
+ LJ has become a sort of outlet for me where I can ramble and vent 'cuz I am the kind of person who doesn't want to worry anyone so I am always smiling and don't talk about anything that's bothering me (so thank you all for that)
+ I carry a deck of cards with me everywhere and will randomly pull them out and start shuffling
+ Until 8th grade I actually had no idea that most families either have to split or alternate the holiday's between the two sides of their families... my grandparents all always got along really well and so every holiday everyone from both my mom's and dad's sides of the families all got together for one big party... until my one aunt got a divorce and shot the entire family to hell... even nine years later two of my aunts still won't talk... really long and complicated story... maybe I'll tell it someother time...
+ the only person I that I know in rl that knows that I used to be a cutter and was contemplating suicide is my best friend... and she only found out because we were playing truth or dare...
+ I danced from the time I was 3 until I was 18 (ballet and lyrical were my faves.)
+ Ever seen "All in the Family"? That is my grandpa, dad, grandma, and aunt... exactly... well, except my dad and aunt obv. aren't married... but otherwise? Its kinda scarry...
+ The only professional sport that I watch is baseball (Go Cubs!)
+ Since my dad died if something happens to my mom I become my 5 yr. old brother's legal guardian... and that scares the crap outta me...
+ I only sleep in PJs about once a month... most of the time I am too lazy to change and just sleep in whatever clothes I wore that day
well, I'm done for now but if any of you wanna share I would love to read!
