Eleven Things About Me:

1. I learned to dive at four years old.
2. I taught myself to draw and sketch.
3. My age is almost never guessed correctly. If I'm not twenty, I must be thirteen.
4. I look freakishly like my maternal grandmother. Except I'm eight inches taller.
5. When I'm reading it takes a bomb going off to get my nose out of the book. Even that method's iffy.
6. I attract cats and dogs like a human magnet.
7. I draw clothing inspiration from Maleficent/Carabosse.
8. I get really, really excited for thunderstorms. Early-birthday excited.
9. I have a weak spot for historical biographies. Lawrence of Arabia et al.
10. I have hypersensitive hearing...
11. ...and sense of smell. My father said, not completely exaggerating, that I "could smell a hummingbird fart in a headwind at three hundred yards."

Questions I Was Asked:

1. Do you have any tattoos (if not, what would you have) and what do they mean? No, I don't.
2. What was the last book you read? Jane Eyre
3. Do you have a motto? "I can't die before I'm meant to."
4. What website do you spend the most time on? My own blog.
5. What was your last purchase? Buy two-get one free earrings at Claire's.
6. What do you give the most priority to in life? Loving my family.
7. What would your last words be? "I'm thrilled."
8. Describe your perfect romantic date. Going up to Jink's Lake, having a picnic, and camping under the stars. Home the next day.
9. What was the best live gig you ever saw? True story: never seen a live show! O_O
10. What was the last nightmare you had? Freddy Kreuger was chasing me around. Even though I kept shooting him with RPGs and portable rocket launchers, he just wouldn't stay down! Finally I had to concentrate and wake myself up.
11. Do you have any phobias? Not any more, but I have been terrified to fainting of blood, straight razors, the dark, spiders, heights, and rollercoasters.
