I'm finishing an essay. Yes, I am.
1) Post these rules before you give your facts
2) List 8 random facts about yourself
3) At the end of your post, choose (tag) 8 people and list their names, linking to them
4) Leave a comment on their blog, letting them know they've been tagged
1. I like boats. Everyone knows this and I'll bring up boating in conversations that have nothing to do with it at all just so I can talk about it. I love the ocean more than any other place and I wish I could live somewhere that was warm enough for me to wear my bikini on my own private boat all day.
2. I have three tattoos: The big white ink nautical compass on my back, a strand of beads around my left ankle, and an Eye of Horus on my hip. The only piercings I currently have are my right nipple and my ears.
3. In high school I was on the swim team and track team and I can tell you I kicked arse at both (swimming more so though.)
4. I had a huge crush on my French teacher in high school, to the extent that I sent him really bad love letters signed from his 'secret admirer.' I've never told ANYONE about this, but looking back on it I realise he MUST have known since he saw my handwriting every time he graded my papers and I think it's rather messy and distinctive.
5. I was born in Haiti and live there until I was seven. I told my parents I wanted to covert from Catholicism to Vodun when I was quite small, and this freaked them out because my parents you will never meet but are the strictest Catholics you'll ever meet. (They were there as missionaries of a sort)
6. When I was fifteen I bleached my hair and pierced my own eyebrow just to freak my parents out. I still have a tiny scar from where I did it too.
7. I used to be the flat-chested one out of my friends and I told god that if he gave me big boobs I'd start going to church every Sunday just like he wanted. He came through but I never held up my end of the bargain.
8. Davis and I once had a cat called Snickers who was insane and used to jump out of the linen closet onto people's heads, claws digging right in until he drew blood. Snickers was an evil bastard.
