Here are my random factoids.

1. At age 20, I still suck my thumb. It's the most embarrassing thing I can share. At night, I will start off with my hand under my pillow or body... yet somehow it always finds its way into my mouth before morning. And it's always my left thumb.

2. I like making ATC's, also called Artist Trading Cards. And then I trade them with people all over the world. I learned about them when I first lived in Philly at an event during the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. That was about 4 years ago and I have been creating and trading ever since.

3. I love watching colorguard/winterguard videos on youtube. Here's one of my Favorites

4. I was really young when I first saw the movie Jurassic Park and it scared me so bad i ran out of the house. I think it was the first scary movie I ever watched. To this day I still occasionally have nightmares about T-Rex's stomping down my house and crushing my dad's old blue GMC Jimmy.

5. I was a girl scout for 11 years. It was so much fun! I would love to volunteer my time and be a leader someday!

6. The first time I actually thought about how wide the world is and realized that my family isn't the only thing I will ever know was when i was about 4. I was jumping on my bed wearing a blue dress with white polka dots. I remember it very clearly.

7. This one is the hardest to share. I only believe in God so I can be mad at him for what happened to my mom. When I was 14 she would have bad headaches and her Dr. discovered she had a brain aneurysm. She was operated on but the dr made a careless mistake causing stress on her brain which resulted in sezures and she went into a coma for a few days. She was also sexually harrassed during her stay by a janitor at the hospital and she coudn't defend herself due to results of the surgery. She went into the hospital as what I think of as my mom. She came out paralyzed on the left side of her body and unable to care for herself, let alone her 14 and 12 year old daughters. Her memory was affected a little and her personality changed alot. I can;t be around her for long periods of time because it hurts so much and I can't do anything to have her back the way she was. I know I should be grateful she is alive but it's not the same. I'm very ashamed of how I see this but I don't know how to change the way I see her. I miss my mommy. I know it isn't her fault.
