Things about me

1. I have always lived in Florida.
2. I have traveled to (I think) 24 of the 50 states. And Mexico.
3. I was young when I traveled to these states so I don't remember a whole lot about them.
4. Didn't really like Mexico but we only went right across the border so my observations are probably skewed.
5. I have been married and divorced.
6. I spent 23 of my 27 years in school.
7. I have 3 Associates and 1 Bachelor Degree but have no desire to have a Masters or Doctorate.
8. I still have no idea what I want to be when I grow up. I'm living by the philosophy that I don't want to grow up.
9. I have the same 2 friends I have had since 1st grade. As well as 4 others that I've met along the way.
10. I don't like meeting new people therefore I'm not looking forward to dating again.
11. I hate making small talk. I'd rather sit in uncomfortable silence than talk.
12. I love all things Disney and am having withdrawals from not having been to Disney World in the past month.
13. I don't have a favorite type of music. I love all types of music and will give something at least one chance.
14. I don't have a favorite movie or genre. I enjoy all types especially the ones that keep me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole thing like Sleeping with the Enemy.
15. I won't do something I don't want to do no matter how much someone tries to talk me into it. It just ain't gonna happen.
16. I have gotten "trashed" once in my life and will never get that way again. (I hate puking).
17. I do drink occasionally but have learned what my threshold is so I won't puke.
18. I do belive that I have all the characteristics of my zodiac sign Scorpio.
19. I read my horoscope; not religiously but a lot. I get angry when it's completely wrong and then think it's a load of hooey when it's right.
20. I'm not religious. I haven't studied any of it enough to back up my thoughts/opinions so I won't say any more.
21. I have a hard time dealing with opinionated people. I think people should be open to more views than just their own. And when someone doesn't agree with your opinions just agree to disagree.
22. When I'm in a good mood most people don't realize it but when I'm in a bad mood warning signs flash and sirens start blaring.
23. I like the quiet when most people don't but dislike the silence when most people do. I mastered the art of listening to the radio, watching TV, and reading a book all at the same time at an early age.
24. I don't like repeating myself. It is my biggest pet peeve when someone asks me to explain something or tell them something and then they don't bother to listen.
25. I am so not a girl when it comes to dresses and all that frilly, girly stuff. Just give me a pair of jeans and a T-shirt and I'm happy.
26. I love all three CSI shows. I'm not a girl when it comes to the gory stuff.
27. I'm currently head over heels in debt. Treading water with the water up to my eyes in debt. But I've been told that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Seems like it keeps getting farther instead of closer though.
28. I keep hoping one day I'll win the lottery but keep forgetting that I don't play.
29. I am a true redhead. Don't ever cross me. That fiery disposition is one of my favorite qualities about myself but one I have to keep in check, a lot.
30. I have a hard time dealing with people who can't multi-task. People should learn how to do at least 2 things at one time.
31. I'm not an animal person. They just don't fit in with me. They're only cute when someone else owns them.
32. I am definitely a girl when it comes to bugs and insects. I do NOT like them.
33. I've never broken a heart but I have had mine broken and it sucks.
34. I believe that life is full of surprises; both good and bad.
35. I love driving. Occasionally I just roll down all the windows and just drive around town.
36. I hate driving in traffic.
37. My first car was a stick shift. It took a while (along with lots of hives and benadryl) but I finally learned how to drive it. Don't ever learn to drive from a family member you'll go insane.
38. I love kids but don't ever want any. It's so much easier to give them back when their crying or being bad.
39. I have no regrets. I have things that I wish had turned out differently but thinking back on it I'm glad they didn't.
40. I have lots of emotional scars and baggage that no one really knows about. I should probably invest in therapy but don't have the time nor the money.
41. I'm not able to think quickly on my feet. I also think of such good things to say after the fact.
42. I think the only thing I have a favorite of is food. I love Mexican food.
43. I don't like beans (of any kind) nor do I like Chinese food.
44. I could never do the Atkins diet or ones similar to it. Starches are what I live my life on.
45. I love all shades of purple and hate all shades of pink.
46. I'm still best friends with the first guy I slept with but absolutely hate my ex-husband.
47. I really miss my grandmother, Mama, who passed away last year. She would always tell me like it was and never cared what other people thought. She was the one that held our crazy family together.
48. I'm a total sap. I cry at weddings, funerals, movies. Anything that has a sad or happy ending leaves me crying.

49. I require at least 8 hours of sleep every night. Ever since I was a baby I've always required a lot of sleep, or so I've been told. Kind of sucks when I want to stay up late partying. Turns me into a complete grouch the next day.
50. I have absolutely no patience. None, nada, zip, zilch.
