RANDOM FACTS:

I was named after Jaime Summers, the bionic woman.

I have never seen Star Wars.

I have been through GWAR's meat grinder.

I got married on Leap Day 2004!

I was once peed on by a drunk at a Buffalo Bills game. The pee froze in my hair. My dad had the drunk removed from the crowd.

Once in my home town, I had to call the police because there was a cow in the street!

The music from Donkey Kong Country (for the Super NES) makes me cry.

When I was in grade school, I had a wart on my heel. One day I got tired of dealing with it, so I decided to dig it out by poking a "moat" around it with a needle and then yanking it out with tweezers. The fun part though, was that there were were some baby warts around the big mommy wart, and when I pulled out the big one, all of the little ones came out too, attached by strings. It looked like an octopus!

My first word was "no."

I went to Dani Davey (from Cradle of Filth)'s birthday party at the 1997 Milwaukee Metalfest.

I absolutely loathe litter. I am always picking it up and throwing it in trash cans.

In 9th grade, I put up a big, green umbrella during an Earth Science class because the teacher kept spitting on me.

In that very same Science class, I used to pretend I was "a little slow" every time we had a substitute. Wasn't I so mature? :-P

My mom once paid me $1 to eat an apple, and she even let me put sugar on it!

I once saw my (now dead) hamster, Simon, give himself a blow job. I am not kidding. My mom was even a witness. Well, I'm sure he was just cleaning, but it was SICK!

I have such terrible OCD when shopping that I often leave the store in tears.

I have had sex on a swing.

When I was little, I used to pay my brother pennies to jump up and down in my garbage can and make the garbage more "compact" so I could fit more in the can.

I cannot swim without goggles.

I was conceived in a tent.

I am not religious, and I pretend I'm not superstitious, but I am constantly knocking on my head (for safety, when I'm worried or nervous, etc.) - they're kind of like little prayers. It's Justin's fault. He got me hooked on doing it in High School.

Once I got pulled over in my parents' hometown for a seatbelt check and the cop looked at me VERY strangely, with a big dumn grin on his face. After I pulled away, I looked down and realised my boob (in a bra!) was hanging ALL the way out of my tanktop! When I *did* put the seatbelt on, it must have tugged my shirt down! It was such a riot!

Speaking of cops, I've outran and hid from 2 cops now, saving myself from 2 speeding tickets.

My favorite He-Man toy was Kobra Khan. He had a little lever that made him stick his forked tongue in and out. (My brother would NEVER be the bad guys, so I always had Kobra & Glow-in-the-Dark Skelitor. Haha!)

I grew up amidst dozens and dozens of fluffy, yellow baby ducks.

When I was little, I would only eat the M&Ms that had complete M's on them. And regardless of having a complete M, I wouldn't eat the brown ones no matter what!

My friends and I used to steal ice-cream sandwiches from the cafeteria after school and eat them in the back-stage loft in the auditorium.

I roast marshmallows over my stove all the time (on a butterknife).

My brother and I used to swear at each other in our sleep, through the wall!

I've been to Niagara Falls & NYC both dozens of times. (God, I'm so travel-hungry, yet I often forget the amazing places that have always been a part of my everyday life!)

I have not ingested a piece of meat since around 1992.

My first concert ever was Weird Al Yancovic, in sixth grade.

My second concert ever was New Kids on the Block in Toronto. LOL.

I have seen over 140 bands in concert.

My Jetta's name is Deutschmaschine.

I can make a perfect soft-serve ice-cream cone from a machine.

I have 19 chronological photo albums, from 6th grade through the present.

I would rather finish a webpage I am working on than get up to pee. And trust me, I pee like 30 times a day. Web design can be painful!

I was caught shoplifting 3 times, all before the age of 16.

My mom used to tell my brother that maxi pads were "underwear for swimming."

My grandmother used to pay my brother and I to pick up the "whirleybirds" in her driveway and yard - 1 cent per whirleybird. (You know - those little leaf-things that fall from trees that look like boomarangs. Some people call them copters too.)

When I was younger, I was fidgiting so much in church, I split my forehead open and an ambulance had to come.

I also nearly fell to my death down a well outside that same church.

I put cinnamon and sugar on my rice. You should try it! It's awesome!

In 8th grade, I gave one of my teachers a little Christmas tree not knowing she was Jewish.

My first date ever was with my first boyfriend in 8th grade - we saw Stephen King's Lawnmower Man! How romantic!

In 11th grade (1995) my Economics teacher challenged me to a saltine & peanut butter eating contest (no water allowed!!) and I kicked his ass!

My husband's dad is a lumberjack!

I was once hit on in a club by a girl wearing nothing but nylons & a bra.

I once saw some trashy guy helping his dirty little kid pee on the wall outside of Target. YUKKK!
