Did you know...
…I will sit at home with the T.V. on mute while my favorite shows are on for the first 20 minutes so I can watch without commercials.
---I always order a non-fat cappuccino with only one shot of vanilla from Starbucks because it takes away from the burnt taste their coffee seems to have but it doesn’t make it too sweet.
…The first half of my warm-up music before I compete is Gospel.
…I almost elected to play softball in high school instead of Track but I was going to be on J.V. so I changed my mind.
…I read really fast. I don’t know if it’s actually considered “speed reading” but I will get through books faster than most people. This might be due to the fact that in 3rd grade I was Reader of the Year at my elementary school.
…I didn’t really play with dolls or barbies or many toys growing up that I can remember. I don’t even recall too many cartoons that I watched. I just liked to read. Duh. Such an old soul…
…My best event coming out of high school was the Triple Jump…something I never practiced once I got to college.
…I used to think I was too skinny so I would wear leggings or sweats underneath my jeans.
…My friends and I called ourselves the “Bomb Squad” in high school. We even had a hand signal and everything.
…I used to get all A’s in high school so my first semester of my Sophomore year in college I decided to see if I could do it in college too. I could…but after I realized that I went back to letting a couple of B’s slide in so that I could continue on with my active social life.
…I told my Coach in college that I needed to weigh at least 130 so my jeans would fit right…and now if I weigh 130 I freak out.
…When I eat French fries I bite off the end and make a pile of ‘nubs’. I only do it with the end that is in my fingers, the other one I have no problem eating.
…I was a cheerleader in high school. Yup. A captain and everything.
…I have moved once a year for the past 5 years.
…I’ve never actually changed a poopy diaper on my own. I’m not looking forward to it either. Hopefully I’ll have a nanny.
…I have an absolutely horrible memory. But the one thing I will never forget is losing the district spelling bee in 4th grade to a kid named Tommy Wahlquist on the word ‘leukemia.’
…My Dad used to dance on Soul Train. I even have a picture with him and Don Cornelius that was featured for the 25 year anniversary of the show.
…It drives me crazy when people eat their pancakes by cutting one bite at a time instead of cutting all of them beforehand.
…I love to people watch, but I’m really bad at being discreet about it. Oftentimes I have to be reminded that I’m in fact STARING and it’s obvious that I’m eavesdropping.
…When I was being recruited by UCLA they said I couldn’t get a full scholarship because as a sprinter I was a ‘dime a dozen’. During my college career I never lost to a Bruin.
…My best friends have been on American Idol, Celebrity Apprentice, and that old show ‘Becoming’ on MTV. (my love don’t cost a thing…)
…I am a terrible singer. Horrible. But when I was younger I would always ask for solos in church musicals and talent shows at school. I loved being the center of attention.
…when I was younger, I wasn’t allowed to listen to “secular” music…so I liked oldies as a kid.
So I’m sure you feel even more connected to me now that you’ve heard these little known facts. How many were surprising? And is it obvious that I have not started my season yet and therefore do not have many track related subjects to write about right now???
