About me:
1) I love the feeling of brand new socks. There is just something about ripping open a bag of new socks and the feeling of them on your feet. (and no, I don't have a foot fetish)
2) I also HATE feet. I think they are the ugliest part of the body. Probably because when I was younger I almost got run over while I was riding my bike in an apartment complex and instead of braking, skid my toes to a screeching halt while wearing flip-flops, causing me to lose my big toenail. I didn't grow back the same.
3) My real dad and I didn't talk or see one another for 7 years. It was Hurricane Katrina that brought us back together.
4) I totalled my first car 5 days before my mother's wedding to my step-dad and we had 16 people staying in one house with one car.
5) I didn't eat any form of pork for 5 years because I was with a Muslim man for 5 1/2 years and he wouldn't kiss me if I ate pork.
6) When I tried to quit smoking in college and used the patches, I had night terrors every night.
7) I have the ability to ingest an obscene amount of craw fish.
8) I used to suck so hard on my first boyfriend's lip that I bruised/left a hickey on his lip and he would get mad at me.
