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!
