12 Random Facts


I consulted with the Dream Team, and they said I should show my readers that I'm just a regular person like anyone else.  So, I'll tell you twelve random facts about myself to show that while I'm not exactly a "regular" person I'm definitely a person--albeit quirky (oh, and I have no problem telling you all about myself...often times way more than you actually want to know).  ;)  I will start with what might be the strangest of all my idiosyncrasies...


1) I never leave the house without makeup on, not even to take out the trash.  


2) I have ADD and must drink a caffeinated drink once a day to keep my focus.  


3) I have had a crush on Val Kilmer my whole life.  In fact, I try to suavely work his name into most conversations. 

4) I don't like cake (don't hate on me).


5) I teach a Couch to 5k class every spring and fall.  


6)  I hate to cook.


7)  I absolutely cannot spell.  Seriously, it's so bad that spell check often can't interpret what I'm trying to say.  


8)  I am left handed.  


9)  I am almost a double major.  I lack the final 3 credits for a double major in English because I refused to take Old English.  Seriously, how would being fluent in Old English help me at all in life (Shakespeare isn't even Middle English--he's modern English)?  It's the principle of the thing...


10) I love writing and directing plays but recently moved away from that to pursue my lifelong dream--being an author. 


11) In my kickboxing class, I often pretend I am either a ninja or a stunt double in a movie.


12) Every spring, I get bright blonde highlights, and every fall, I dye my hair dark with red highlights.  Even the cashier at Walmart noticed my pattern.  I couldn't decide if I should be impressed with her observation skills or freaked out that I'm in Walmart enough to be noticed like that...

Lol! You really will be a ninja soon enough, so no worries there my friend! Can't wait to read your book!

04/24/2013 6:03pm
Ninjas unite!!! :) I'm excited to have you read it soon! :)

I feel honored that I knew more than half of these facts about you already :) :) hehe! I really can't wait for your book to come out!

04/24/2013 6:04pm
Woo-hoo, Seema!!! I miss you, girl! Thanks for your support! :)

You're hilarious!!

Loved your facts and i think you are an interesting person!

I LOVED Old English. Hardest class I took, but totally worth it. I wasn't an English major cause I didn't want to write a thesis!!

04/24/2013 6:06pm
Allison--too funny! I could barely stumble through the Old English version of The Canterbury Tales prologue! ;)

04/24/2013 8:53am
Great idea! I especially love the last one. I would definitely be horrified to have been in Walmart often enough, but I avoid Walmart at all costs. Now I want to do a 12 things post! You should have guests do it and I should be one of them ;) So much fun.

04/24/2013 6:08pm
Kai- LOL! I would love to have you be a guest blogger or do a 12 Random Facts and book promotion with you. Let's set something up. You can reach me through the contact me page. ;)

Great list! Pretending to be a ninja would probably really help make a workout go quickly :) And I honestly can't spell either!

04/26/2013 10:06pm
Meradeth-- Thanks!! It's surprisingly effective! Most exercise is a mental game rather than a physical one anyway. ;) SO glad to know I'm not the only bad speller! LOL! :)

Everyone, check out Meradeth's book, THE CHEMISTRY OF FATE, that released TODAY!!

Old English "pierc (ed) me to the root (a)." (Chaucer)

You are so right. The author with an interesting twist on reality is the one to read.

04/29/2013 4:22pm
Julie-- Thanks for reading! I had to memorize the prologue of The Canterbury Tales in Old English as a condition of graduation (thanks to whatever donor stipulated that nice little tidbit). ;)

Regular reality is boring! Everything looks better with some funky colored lenses! ;)

Hi, Erin: Enjoyed your post, it's good to laugh. A secret: I always wanted to be an elf with wings. Wishing didn't do it, the wings never sprouted. Maybe more fertilizer was needed. Good luck with your book. Mary Raimes Curtis

Mary--Keep trying...there is time yet! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Love the comment on the highlights. I change my hair up quite a bit. If I'm growing it out, I'll change the color periodically (usually between blondes and reds) or once I've grown it out, I'll cut it short. Lately I've been playing with the highlights- they seem a bit easier to keep up wit.

It's very nice to 'meet' you and learn such fun facts!

04/29/2013 4:28pm
Mary-- Me too!!! The only reason I still have long hair is that I promised the hubby I would stop doing the cut/grown out thing for a little while (he prefers long). For many years, I would grow my hair out really long then chop it off super short (I'm talking spiky short). I'm going with color changes now since I can't break out the scissors just yet! ;)

So nice to "meet you!"

Everyone--check out Mary's book Quest of the Hart here and possibly win a free ebook!! http://nicolezoltack.blogspot.com/ I tweeted about it too! ;)

You are one interesting, well-rounded person. Can't believe your Spellcheck has problems figuring you out, too. I have the same problem with mine!

04/29/2013 4:32pm
Christy-- Glad my spell checker isn't the only one that's "messed up." My iPhone is more than happy to interpret what I want (usually in the wrong way), so spell check needs to get on board! ;)

This made me laugh. It appears we have a lot in common. Especially the whole can't spell and Val Kilmer things ;)

Jennifer-- Yay! I'm so excited to meet another Val fan!! Most people are like "huh?" when I say that I adore him. LOL! Maybe there is a correlation between creative writers and bad spelling...I'm noticing a trend! ;)

love it. Had to laugh. I began to highlight and colour my hair in my early twenties. Now that it needs it, I'm sick of colouring and going natural
Great post!

LOL! My MIL just had all the color stripped from her hair, and she loves going natural! :)

I dyed my hair 15 times my senior year in high school. LOL!

Fun post and I enjoyed reading it. I'll stay gray-haired. Much easier and less energy. Spellcheck and I get along, it's commas that drive me to drink.My puncutarion really sucks. Thank goodness for editors.

I think staying gray-haired is the simplest way to go! ;)

LOL! Give me commas over spelling any day!

Agreed! Thank goodness for editors! ;)
