TAG. YOU'RE IT. The rules are to state 10 random facts about yourself! Then go to your 10 favorite blogs and tell them they're it!
Hoo boy! Okay, Iāll give it a go.
1. (TW: blood, needles) I have never been able to give blood. Once I had my anxiety under control (needles are a trigger) and went to a local blood drive, but a little under a year before Iād visited some ruins in Mexico so I wasnāt allowed to donate. After Iād passed the year mark my anxiety had come back. Iād like to do it. Iām an organ donor and on the bone marrow registry so that makes me feel a little better.
2. Iām allergic to most dogs, which sucks because I love them. Our dog is the sweetest animal Iāve ever met and luckily I donāt react to her fur.Ā
3. Iāve been to England, Scotland, France, Belgium, Canada, and Mexico. Iād like to visit India, Italy, Japan, Egypt, Greece, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, and Peru.
4. Amusing childhood words: āgackaā (cracker), āsnakeā (steak), ābride and broomā (groom).
5. Once when I was little, instead of monsters I got scared because I thought there was a cow in the corner of my bedroom.
6. (TW: slurs, homophobia, violence, murder) I was homeschooled K-12. I went to a public preschool. One day I came home and apparently said something about wanting to āget a shotgun and kill some f*ggots.ā From someone in PRESCHOOL. My parents decided they didnāt want me having to deal with people like that, so from then on I was homeschooled. Every year they asked if I wanted to go to public school and every year the answer was no! I was very, very lucky to have a great educational experience.
6. (TW: death) Both of my grandfathers passed away from cancer when I was very young. It sucks to not know what itās like to have a grandpa, but Iāve got 2 grandmas who are pretty awesome.
7. (TMI warning: sexual) On my 18th birthday I went to an adult store and bought a vibrator and some quick release handcuffs. I paid cash because my parents set up a joint debit account with me and thus can see activity on my card. Later that week I registered to vote, and that is the extent of my wild and crazy newly adultĀ shenanigans.Ā
8. Iām somewhat superstitious and believe in the possibility of many things, supernatural, extraterrestrial, or otherwise. I donāt read the National Enquirer or anything, but I prefer to stay open-minded about most things. I love science and think itās important but I also think there are things it canāt explain, at least not yet.
9. Iāve only ever had one wristwatch, which Iāve had for over 10 years. I almost never take it off. Itās waterproof and the screen is very scratched up at this point. Iāve replaced the band many times and the battery a few times. Iām very attached to it - it shows the date, day of the week, and time to the second on the main screen, and it has a timer, a stopwatch, an alarm, and a second timezone.
10. (TW: germs) For biology one year I grew a culture of bacteria from a swab of the bottom of my purse. It was pretty gross!
I donāt have time to tag people, so if youāre reading this and want to do it, consider yourself tagged!
