8 Random Things

Natalie has done this and I think I will too:

Here are the rules:

• Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
• People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
• At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
• Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

1.  My left arm has two major scars, and I am always paranoid that people are going to think I tried to kill myself.  The first one is about two inches long or so.  I was very young and I was running across the street with a Gerber jar that I had made for my mother which had some kind of liquid and a flower in it.  I tripped over the curb, and it broke into my hand.  The second scar is from an accident that I had at my first job, a store called 'Cost Cutters'.  The manager told me how to use the razor to open boxes, but I had to do it my way, and cut myself up my arm.  It is a very long ugly scar that would have been smaller had I gone to the hospital for stitches.  I thought I would get fired.

2.  I love journals.  I love journals and the idea of journaling, but I am too lazy to write down my thoughts.  Vox has helped me with this though, and now I online journal.

3.  I want to write a book.  I have started writing my own memoir about my childhood, foster care, and such.  I have no idea where the disc is, and I think that I would want to start over anyway.  I have gone from angry to much more peaceful about my past, and as the years go so does the ideas of what i want to talk about.  It is hard to organize all the events as well.  I get overwhelmed with what I should write, and what I want to disclose.

4.  I love to sing in the car.  Loud.  And I am sure that I look like a freak doing it but I do not care.  It helps with the stress of the day.

5.  I love fresh flowers in my house.  I really like sunflowers, and tulips. 

6.  I absolutely hate to throw up.  It scares the shit out of me, and I start to panic.  I have to have my hubby come in the room to support me, and once when it was really bad, and I had the flu, I made hubby call an ambulance.  I was very dehydrated, and my blood pressure was low, but I am sure it did not warrant a trip in the ambulance.  They did give me some great anti nausea meds.

7.  I love to paint.  I love to create art.  I have not done it in a long time but I do love it.

8.  And the final thing about me ::::::drum roll please:::::  is that the first boy I ever kissed was also the most embarrassing moment of my teen years.  The boy's name was Steve and he came over my house.  We went into the basement, and he tried to kiss me.  I was in the 9th grade.  I went all soap opera on his ass, kissing him like I had seen on General Hospital...  and he looked at me and said "What are you doing".  I did not get the whole kissing thing.  I started hitting him when he said that.  I was horrified.
