I've been tagged...
So my good friend Tiffany tagged me in a chain-letter-esque game going around where you have to tell 8 things about you that most people probably don't know...so here i go.
8 things about me...
1} I genuinely like to clean the toilet. It started at around age 8 when my girl scout troop had to clean up after a sleep over and chores were divvied out. No one wanted the task of cleaning the bathroom so I took the job. A few other girls were gagging and ewwing but I didn't mind a bit. The satisfaction of getting that pearly pot clean and shiny and smelling of bleachy goodness was enough to make me not mind the thought of the source of dirtiness. I love the little sudsy tuffet of liquid that is left over announcing it's cleanliness. I like to leave it like that so the next person can enjoy knowing they are the first one to go after a good cleaning. yes, i am a freak.
2} I knew I was going to marry Brandon within the first week of knowing him. My friends and I were all sitting around commiserating over the fact that I wouldn't be at their high school reunion as I am a year younger. Brandon and I were a new immature high school couple and marriage was not a logical direction. I don't know what it was, premonition, God, or my own love-struck daydream, but I heard "No, I'll be there. I will be married to Brandon and we will all go together." I didn't dare say it out loud as I would have shocked myself, friends, and my new boyfriend. We did, in fact, break up not long after. But not forever. :)
3} I really never thought I would be a photographer. I worked for a photographer, caddied, loved shooting, loved weddings, but just thought I would be doing something else. I continued to shoot a ton of pictures, take photo classes. I wanted to be a potter, an actress, a world traveler( still on the list) a pilot, and the list goes on. Then one day when I moved back to my home town after college I was in this weird place. I had just gotten a job as a flight attendant. I was waitressing. I was unhappy with either direction. I walked down to my old boss's studio and told her and she said "well, come work for me again!" so I did. A few weeks later my Dad bought me my first digital camera the EOS 10D and it was on like Donkey Kong.
4} When I was a little kid I used to picket with my Mom and little sis with a group of crazy PETA members. We would stand outside stores yelling "what do we want?" "fur free America!" when do we want it? "NOW" We got kicked out of supermarkets for putting stickers warning consumers of animal products in face creams and such. I also fought the school system to get rid of dissection in 7th grade. I was a crazy little activist.
5} I have a freaky good memory. Now it doesn't always work, but I can remember weird details, people from ages ago, I can probably remember what you wore last time I saw you. My Mom and Dad think I am crazy. I can literally remember things from when I was 2-3 years old.
6} When I grow up I want to be a merbird. What on earth is that you ask? Well it is a mermaid with wings. The perfect creature don't you think? When I doodle, 9 times out of 10 it is of merbirds.
7} My nickname in high-school was Heffer. yup. A term of endearment taken way way too far.
Once, my friend John was across the street from me downtown and he yelled out "Hey Heffer" and this lady who was on the same side of the street as me yelled back "Hey, f#*% you!" as she thought he was talking to her. I said, "nooo, he's talking to me!" Lady: "yeah right!
It was hilarious...
8} When drinking wine or soda I always lick the little drop of beverage after sipping or slurp it up out of the can's gutter. I like a tidy glass/ can i guess. Brandon thinks it is hilarious.
