Testing 1, 2, 3.. 25 things you may not know about me?

1. I spent most of childhood in a town called Sunrise, this is ironic as I've since convinced myself that I'm allergic to direct sunlight. Even more ironic that the three states I've lived in are known for their sunny weather.

2. My best friend sometimes pretends her name is Vivian and sometimes calls my other best friend Adrienne...I have no idea why as those are not really their names.

3. When I was in my (early) teens I became fascinated with serial killers. I spent hours in the library reading about them when I was supposed to be doing school work. (this is before serial killers were considered "cool" by mainstream media)

4. I'm obsessed with vintage Halloween masks, rabbits, make-up, make-out, lemons, cockroaches, Weenis, Baru, Jean, Earl Grey, and perfume.

5. I had a white German shepherd named Tanya. I would sometimes pretend she was a unicorn.

6. I'm an excellent cook but a sub par baker. My friends Melissa and Jared are excellent bakers.

7. I have a three dimensional velvet light up painting of the last supper in my dining room. I'm not at all religious.

8. My favorite cat Fluffy ( from my childhood) got hit by car in front of me. All of my cats since have looked exactly like him.

9. I was married by my friend dressed as the Easter Bunny.

10. I saw the John Water's film Pink Flamingos at age 7.5...I think it single handled shaped who I am today.

11. My husband likes to play the bad cop to my good cop..little does everybody know we are both really bad cops.

12. I'm proud of the fact that I've never smoked crack. Though I did have somebody blow it in my face once. I didn't inhale.

13. I tried to commit suicide at age 9 by jumping off my father's roof. I didn't break a single bone. ( this has nothing to do with note number 10, I swear. All hail John Waters)

14. I didn't need to see a therapist last year because I sorted all of my problems out with Justin after 3 am. Too bad I've forgotten all of the answers.

15. I took my braces off with pliers in the bathroom of my Disney World hotel on a family vacation.

16. I love my family. I'm in love with my husband. I miss my Aunt a lot.

17. I've fronted several bands but still do not consider myself a "musician". I dream of becoming a real artist.

18. I describe myself as a "tough as nails- heart o' gold dictionarian with a napoleon complex and a sense of humor."

19. I am a good listener. I try to give good advice to my friends. Contrary to popular belief my feelings can be easily hurt.

20. This is a list of some of the phobias I think I may have had: Arrhenphobia- Fear of men. Athazagoraphobia- Fear of being forgotten or ignored or forgetting. Arachibutyrophobia- Fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth. Bufonophobia- Fear of toads. Ithyphallophobia- Fear of seeing, thinking about or having an erect penis. Lachanophobia- Fear of vegetables. Soteriophobia - Fear of dependence on others. Scoptophobia- Fear of being seen or stared at. Heliophobia- Fear of the sun.. I've overcome a few of these.

21. I have 4 cats.

22. I'm friends with all of my favorite artists. I feel very lucky to be surrounded by talented, interesting, wise, creative people.

23. My favorite words are diatribe, anthropomorphic, non sequitur, hallucinogenic, and fantasy. I use them often.

24. I love horror movies but can't stand to watch animals being hurt or killed (Watching people being killed is fine by me.)

25. I drink a lot of green tea.

Not to sound repetitve, but you are simply amazing. You're my idol. You have taught me what it means to be a woman who is true to herself, no matter what anyone else thinks. My best friend says I remind her of you all the time (as does my mom, haha) and it's getting to the point where I kind of have to agree. You taught me that it's okay to be a freak and to be scary when everyone else wants to be pretty. You also taught me not to be afraid to be myself, even in a public setting, and not to be afraid to use the word cunt (which I pretty much use on a daily basis now). And for all this (and SO much more, trust me), I am greatful.

Love always,

Andii

Beat you, I saw Pink Flamingos when I was 5. Well, I didn't mean to. My sister had it on and was watching it with her friend. But they fell asleep and (because I didn't think it was fair they could see the movie and I couldn't) I rewinded it and watched it from beginning to the end. Surprisingly, I am much saner than my more sheltered friends. (Well, I could tell you everything I've seen, but would make this comment even longer.)

#4: I became obsessed with rabbits after watching my dad shoot one while hunting when I was a toddler.

Horrible and traumatizing.

#25: Green tea is good, but I like coffee more D:

Totally agree with #24. It's the exact same for me!

Unknown said...

Just awesome! I particularly relate to the comments about serial killers, I seemed to be reading about them before I knew whether I was or was not meant to. You are just amazing!

Sabrina said...

But were they MICKEY MOUSE Pliers?
I'm a freelance Easter Bunny.
And by freelance, I mean people don't want me near their kids.
The costume is all the same though.

serial killer thing, totaly me. I was into morbid things when i was to young to know what the word "Morbid" ment. Jumping off of roofs. I used to cut myself in the woods when i was like 11 because i had no desire for life at that young. Horror movies, I love love love them, but get pissed off and turn the tv off if a woman is raped, or an animal is hurt or killed.

♥ I loves you :D

suprised you didn't mention you look great wrapped in a purple dog blanket! a little worried about #24 as I directed a horror movie in which a cat gets it's head ripped off. perhaps being the guy in the bunny suit will offset this fact and we can still remain friends. hope you found your kitty.

24 is me too. People always think it's weird. You're awesome.

Jessicka, what do you think of people who are like, "Well why aren't you upset by people being murdered in horror films as much as animals?"

Those types of people really annoy me. It's like, well you wouldn't watch a movie where a human baby was tortured right? Animals are like babies.

Meat, I'm curious, as to why you felt the need to put a cat death in your film. No offense to you, as much this is the general opinon I have of horror film directors that use animal deaths in their films. That they simply aren't intelligent enough, or creative enough to come up with something that doesn't involve harming a purely innocent creature.

Like, the film Untraceable, which I hope you didn't see Jessicka. Cause I thought it was a cool concept, but I heard the film starting with a cat being captured by the sicko doing all the torturing, and was like "Change channel NOW!" It's a good thing I did, I heard there was some sort of glue trap scene, with a cat. I don't know, it just is beyond me.

Well enough rambling on about that, and um, possibly insulting Meat on the way heh. There was a fascinating horror film I saw from Canada called Martyrs.

There's a girl who was released from a mental facility, and her friend helps her try to cope with images of this girl who she saw before she ran away from being tortured.

It's available on Netflix, and it's really interesting when they reveal what the original torture was about and where that leads. It's one of the rare horror films that actually makes you think.

hmm. your phobias were very interesting. xD as was the rest of this! I enjoyed reading it and I was sad when there was no more to read. So I just read it a couple times more. (I first read it as soon as I heard about the website, a week and a half ago) Oh, sorry to ramble...

Love new site. #13 I tried at 14 and at 15. I´m glad that I might be like one of the 5 people who know you guys where I live, thugho its not a big city, its filled with premanufactured emo kids. Im kind of nostalgic, since I had forgotten how beautiful it was to be different, I´ve been somehow missleading myself into this pathetic so-called normal life style which has done nothing but numbing my soul, which reminds me of Haldol and makes me wonder if you have ever been on meds... (?)Oh by the way, I don´t think there´s anything wrong with talking to one´s self... Well, I gotta whish you would luck, and say goodbye ;)

You are really eclectic haha. Thanks for Clear Hearts Gray Flowers that helped me through some not so great times. and I definitely have the peanut butter thing, it makes me feel like I'm going to choke

Sunrise, hmm... the chances you knew me are few and far between, as I only lived there briefly... you might have known some of my friends but I doubt it... Wade Wright? Linda Tartaro? Ringing any bells?
