50 Things About Me
Updated 12/01/03


1. I think too much.
2. I don't eat vegetables.
3. The only broken bone I've had was when I had a bicycle crash in the summer before eighth (?) grade and broke my arm. My mom use to get onto me about breaking things, so I was afraid to tell her I had broken my arm. When it swelled up to twice it's size, she took me to the doctor.
4. The only time I had stitches was when I was about six or seven and my next door neighbor was chasing me (I ended up dating him in high school). I tripped over a bicycle and got a cut above my right eye.
5. When I was in 3rd grade I got braces and thought it was cool, except that it hurt like hell every month when they adjusted them.
6. Consequently, I hate going to the dentist.
7. I played trombone thru middle school and high school.
8. If I had it to do over again, I'd still be playing trombone.
9. Until 2002, the only car I owned and/or drove was the 1969 Camaro my parents bought for me from my grandmother.
I had to sell it when moving out of Austin. I'm still sad about that. I can only hope the man I sold it to restored it really well and loves it.
10. May 2002 I finally bought a motorcycle, a 1990 Yamaha 535. I love riding my motorcycle. In April 2006 I sold the Yamaha and got a brand new motorcycle - a Kawasaki Vulcan 500 LTD, I love riding even more.
11. I have one brother.
12. I never had a nickname growing up.
13. I'd like to think that if you mixed "I Am Not A Pretty Girl" "Asking Too Much" and "Joyful Girl" you might would end up with me. But that's probably not the case.
14. I had my eyebrow pierced when I was 27 on Thanksgiving night - alone and sober. I took it out a few years later when it seemed everyone had a piercing.
15. The week after I turned 30 I got a tattoo that says "Joyful Girl" just below the center of my neck. I wish I could see it without having to look in the mirror.
16. I hate slow drivers.
17. I don't have much patience with stupid people.
18. I can't stand girls who are or who play helpless.
19. I'd love to change the world.
20. I think chocolate is good medicine - laughter is good medicine and chocolate can make me laugh.
21. I believe deja vu comes from dreams.
22. I shower every morning.
23. I write with my right hand and do everything else with my left hand.
24. I read at least 40 books a year.
25. I love the internet and all the information it contains.
26. I am a capitalist pig.
27. My mother named me Beth from the book "Little Women."
28. I love Calvin and Hobbes.
29. The only comic books I own are The Tick. In the summer of 2003 I discovered Neil Gaiman's works and have purchased all of the Sandman graphic novel series and am collecting the 1602 series.
30. Although I'm only 5'1", I've never seen myself as short.
31. I love watching movies that make me think.
32. I have never and will never watch "Titanic."
33.
34. I like the color blue.
35. I wonder what it is about blue, green, and brown that those are the colors God decided to make the majority of what we see (sky, grass/trees, earth).
36. I'm very glad He made things like flowers to spice things up colorwise, and I think He let it all hang loose when he colored the fish.
37. I am an overly loyal friend. Well, I was when I had friends.
38. I am a nightowl.
39. I don't like lots of sunshine.
40. I've lived in Texas my whole life and hope that changes soon.
Well, hell. We moved from Austin to Kansas City in 2005 - that was a mistake. Then in late 2006 we moved from Kansas City to Johnstown, PA - that was a mistake, too! Not sure where we're headed next.
41. I love making and watching fires.
42. I went to Baylor University and did not have a typical college experience.
43. I am certified to be a public school teacher and have never taught.
As of January 2006 I am a certified Phlebotomist. I hope to find a job in that field again soon.
44. Growing up my favorite teachers were always my English teachers.
45. If I was given a million dollars today I'd buy an RV, we'd drive around for a year, pick somewhere to live, and buy a house.
46. I love playing Poker, Black Jack and Craps in casinos.
47. I drink alcohol maybe twice a year, smoke cigarettes (usually cloves) about twice a year.
48. I think it would be cool to grow and smoke my own weed.
49. I'm sure if I wrote this on a different day, it would be a very different list. That's still true!
50. I was going to write 100 things and decided that was too damn long.
