I don’t know why this has been stuck in my head all day. But I’ve been dwelling on random little tidbits about myself that others would find quirky or odd. What I discovered, I do some seriously weird shit. I’m sure I’ll have to revisit this list or continue expanding it, but for now, here are 15 little known random facts about me.
- For five years in college I listened to the same song, Are You Out There? by Dar Williams, every night going to sleep. My boyfriend at the time did not appreciate this.
- I wear a six fifteen 4E shoe. 16 if it’s a 2E.
- Run Lola Run is my favorite movie of all time, original German only.
- I spent three years reading every X-Men related comic. I haven’t read once since 2015.
- I use Miracle Whip & Mayonnaise equally.
- I was a creative writing major at my first college. A single professor made me hate it so much I wouldn’t write creatively again for seven years.
- I only honor my Scottish heritage despite being equal parts English, Irish and Scottish.
- I am both a youngest and only child. My brother Jason passed when I was three weeks old.
- I was raised by women while my father was overseas with the military. At one point I lived with my mother, Susan, grandmother, MiMi, and Great-grandmother, Mam.
- I have worked at BJ’s, Borders, a credit card company, an herbal viagra company, a tattoo parlor, and a gay travel agency.
- The first “story” I wrote in 1987 was on my father’s military laptop which came in a very large briefcase.
- I suffer from clinical insomnia and have since I was a teenager.
- I once wanted to be a crime scene photographer and have never been bothered by the sight of death.
- The tattoo on my leg reads, “Believe in me ’cause I don’t believe in anything, and I wanna be someone who believes.” Mr. Jones and Round Here by the Counting Crows are my favorite songs.
- I’ve probably seen Bring it On more than any other movie. I have a love for kickass cheerleaders.
