11 random facts about me
1) I watch Nightmare Before Christmas every night before I go to bed on my ipad. I can't go to sleep without it.
2) I don't eat the ends of my french fries because they are crispy and hard and my fingers were touching the ends.
3) I have a huge DVD and CD and Record collection. I mean 350 DVDs and and about 500 Cds and another 200 records.
4) I like to collect a lot of things. Things from my past, things that I like, times I want to remember. I'm not a hoarder I promise. I keep most things tucked away in hat boxes or I make something out of them. I have a collection of fortunes from fortune cookies that I made a piece of art from.
5) I tend to feel like I'm a Jack of all trades but master of none.
6) I don't like to share too much. Part of me wants to make friends and share all of my secrets but it takes me so long to get there.
7) I listen to Brand New's album Deja Entendu at least once every day and have since the day I bought it for my fifteenth birthday.
8) I'm trying to get enough courage to take the CBEST Math exam for Substitute teaching. (I'm horrible at math)
9) I know it's super corny but I believe in soul mates and I know my boyfriend Daniel and I are.
10) I have had five heart surgeries. Two open heart and three other ones to help keep my ventricle open from scar tissue.
11) I think in pictures rather than words.

6. What do you think of ripped jeans?
I think they can be cute if worn right. If they are jeans that are really dirty and have tears in the wrong places (as in I don't want to see your skin on your butt) I don't think that's attractive. But I've been known to make my own ripped jeans. No need to spend money on Abercrombie and Fitch Jeans.
7. Do you have scars and birthmarks? If so, what do they look like and where are they?
Ok. So This is a bit on the serious side. I have a lot of scars more than I will mention. Scars have been a part of me since I was born but they don't define me and I wear them proudly. The first I have two huge scars on my chest from two open heart surgeries. The first one you can barely see anymore and most of it is hidden from the second scar also I have diagonal scar where I had a stomach tube, I've had that scar since I was three days old. The second one is about ten years old. The other scars are on my arms and wrists and I have a couple of burn marks and one looks like a smiley face.
8. What songs epitomize each season for you? A song for winter, summer, autumn and spring please
Winter - Jason Webley - Millennium Bug
Summer - Lady Gaga - Poker Face
Autumn - A.F.I - ...but Home is Nowhere
Spring - Regina Spektor - Samson
9. What is something you wear now that you didn't do before?
Up until I was a junior in high school I hated wearing dresses and skirts. Now it's the only thing I wear.
10. What do you think of Eurovision? A drag or a hilarity?
Can't say I know what it is.
11. Name a film you never want to see again and why
Requiem for a Dream. Don't get me wrong I love crazy movies. My favorite movies are Eternal Sunshine and Stay but for some reason Requiem for a Dream is just to much for me. Plus I don't really care for drug centered movies. I feel the same about 'Candy' as much as I love Heath Ledger that movie is a bit too much for me.

Oh I know all about your number 5, and also your answer to my question 9, I'm the same. I like your answer to my question 7. Although you won't list them all, I can understand why, mine are nothing in comparison to yours. I could have lost an eye with one of them but compared to the heart, that's minor in the long term. I also love your question 7 because I was going to post that but changed it in the last minute. Good job on this one, I really enjoyed reading it
