Now you know {me}

A few of my favorite bloggers have done "if you really knew me" posts (Dana, Kristie, Jenni) so I'm going to join the cool kids today and do the same.

***I would not jump off a bridge just because all my silly friends are doing it -- not that any of my friends are silly -- but it would depend on the bridge and whether or not my friends survived when they got to the bottom. Does that make me a follower? Because it definitely doesn't make me a leader... or an idiot.

***I love thunderstorms, especially when I'm at home and can cuddle under a blanket. I don't like tornadoes, but I'm used to dealing with them and, therefore, not terrified to hear a tornado siren -- just cautious. Lightning, however, scares the bejeezus out of me. And yet, somehow, I always want to stand outside like a lunatic and photograph it.

***I have been known to throw shoes across the room to kill a spider. I like to keep a good, looong distance from eight-legged creepy crawlies.

***According to Hub and my sister, I'm tend to hog the bed covers. So, basically, get your own blanket!

***I strongly believe in our right to bear arms. There is absolutely no use in arguing so, if you disagree, you have the right to stop reading my blog. No hard feelings.

***When I am PMSing, I eat like a pig and crave chocolate and/or fruit like it's going out of style. (How, in the world, are chocolate and fruit related?)

***I bite my nails when I am nervous or in deep thought, which is also why I keep them trimmed. If they're already short, I don't chew them. Plus, it's difficult to play guitar with long nails.

***I have played guitar for 12 years, though I've never done it for any real reason -- just for fun.

***I have a nervous stomach, which makes me want to stay home most of the time. Having a job can be difficult because of this, but I try to conceal it. It's weird, I know, and extremely annoying. I don't consider myself an introvert, but my stomach is.

***Two words: Car. Sick. I have dealt with car sickness all my life. When I am driving, I'm not bothered at all by it. If I am a passenger, the only way to prevent it is to sleep. I have missed many awesome sights during road trips because I was sleeping. The craziest part is that I've never felt sick on a boat, roller coaster, fourwheeler, or anything similar. I think it has something to do with being enclosed in a vehicle, which bites because I looove road trips.

***I've never flown before. Sad, but true. (I wonder if I would get air sick??)

***I am pretty durn good with directions and reading maps -- my dad taught me. I rarely ever get lost. Except that once...

***I walk into walls and doors and cabinets all the time, usually when I'm turning a corner. It doesn't always hurt, but I've earned a few bruises from it. Hub has threatened to put orange bumper pads on all the corners of our house.

***I am hypoglycemic. It does not prevent me from eating sugar, though I try not to overdose, unless ice cream or chocolate chip cookies are involved.

***I super-duper-really-awfully-badly want to start my own photography business. I'm saving my pennies to buy updated equipment. Maybe, eventually, I'll start accepting sponsors.

The end. Or the beginning?

Tell me something about YOU.
