But I'm finally jumping on the bandwagon.
25 random facts about me:
1. I procrastinate. A lot. I will put everything off until the very last possible minute. That and chewing on my nail beds are my biggest vices.
2. I used to be able to sit on my hair, it was so long. I would be sitting on the floor, then lean forward to stand up, and darn near rip my hair out because I was sitting on it. Oh yeah, and I'm naturally blonde - a lot of people don't seem to know this or remember this since I've been a brunette for some time.
3. I'm a ringtone whore. I change mine all the time, and I have like 50 in my phone. Right now it's "Don't Trust Me" by 3Oh!3. And my text message ringtone is "The (Shipped) Gold Standard" by Fall Out Boy.
4. I used to hate my last name. Because it's so different. Schoolcraft. It's not exactly Smith or Jones, right? But now I like it - it sets me apart. However, I used to get teased in elementary school more for my first name than for my last name. Kids called me "Er-head" and said I had a boy's name. Haha, kids are cruel.
5. I have a lot of pet peeves, and most of them have to do with driving. People who drive two miles an hour under the speed limit. People who can't figure out roundabouts or drive in the snow. Turn signals that are either left on or are turned on at the last second. And, like Laura said, windshield wipers that are on too fast for conditions.
6. Technically, I'm an only child. But I have a stepbrother and stepsister who I consider to be like a real brother and sister to me. I also have three stepsisters on my dad's side who I do not consider part of my family.
7. During a trip to Mexico when I was fourteen, I got "Swimmer's Ear" and was deaf in my left ear for a month. And from time to time, I still have problems with that ear. Other highlights from that trip - Larissa breaking John's rib and the backseat of our rental car getting stolen because my mom stole some dude's parking spot.
8. I'm not obsessed with the Jonas Brothers, and I don't believe I ever was. And I don't like them as much as I used to. Don't get me wrong - I still like them and I'll still go see their concert movie on opening weekend and buy the soundtrack and everything. But lately they've just been kind of "eh" for me.
9. I go through cell phones like it's nobody's business. In the past two and a half years, I've had eleven phones. Some of them died tragic deaths, like drowning in the back of my old truck. And some of them simply got traded in for whatever new phone had just come out on the market. Right now I have the BlackBerry Storm, and I adore it.
10. 2004 was by far the worst year of my life. My nana had always been the family member I was closest to, and when she passed away, I was completely lost. From the time she was admitted to the hospital in January to her death in April, her funeral the day after my birthday all the way to the completion of the wrongful death lawsuit at the end of the year - the entire year was the worst time imaginable.
11. One of my favorite TV shows of all time is "Life As We Know It". It starred Sean Faris, was set in Seattle, and was pretty much centered around how much guys think about sex. For some reason, ABC canceled it after like 13 episodes. At least they released it on DVD. :)
12. When I was about seven, I wanted to be an Olympic gymnast. I would turn on the music in my Nana's living room, push all the furniture out of the way and practice my floor routines.
13. My best friend and I have NEVER had a fight. Not a single one. Not even over the littlest thing. And we've been best friends for almost nine years now. We met at horse camp my first year in 4-H and bonded when we found out we shared the same middle name - Leigh.
14. I really dislike fine-tip pens, and I'm not sure why. Just give me a medium- or bold-tip and I'll be a happy camper.
15. I'm actually a pretty good bowler. Not as good as I was when I was competing in high school, but I can still bowl in the 150s.
16. I can't cook. My idea of cooking is taking a frozen item out of the freezer, throwing it in the microwave, and pressing a button.
17. Whenever I'm at home, I'm pretty much always wearing my favorite slippers. Like right now. They look like cowboy boots, with faux-faux-ostrich on the toes. The rest is fuzzy, and they even have little boot-pull loop things. My mom brought them back from Texas for me when she went to the NASCAR race.
18. I rarely eat off my dishes. I use plastic plates and cups. I use the excuse that it's because I'm too lazy to do dishes, but it's mainly because my real dishes were expensive and I'm so clumsy, I'm scared to death I'm going to break them.
19. I love to write. And apparently, if I ever fail as a 911 dispatcher, I could always get a career writing the summaries on the backs of books. Haha.
20. I worship Kathy Griffin. I think she's hilarious. And I want to hang out with her for a day.
21. I'm a walking orthodontic ad. You name it, I suffered through it. Four years of braces, head gear, wire retainer, clear retainer, night guard, and a permanent retainer on my bottom teeth. Although my wire retainer was cool. It was purple. And had a picture of my first horse on it. :)
22. I have lots of scars, but no impressive stories. Back of my right hand - killer toaster oven. Left hand - Dusty's stall door. Knuckles - various curling irons and sidewalk injuries. And I have a big scar on my thigh, but I have no idea what it's from.
23. I'm a horrible impulse buyer. About 70% of the time, I'll buy something and by the time I leave the store, I already regret buying it. But do I ever take it back? No.
24. I used to collect Beanie Babies. I think I had like 150 at one point. My nana would take me to Tim's Pharmacy on the mornings that UPS delivered shipments of new Beanies and we'd get the newest ones. Yeah, it was that hardcore.
25. We used to have a 30-pound cat named Fatman. His name used to be Turbo, but once he started to get super chubby, we changed his name. Because Turbo just doesn't work for a cat the size of a small child. Fatman could hear you pull the Velveeta out of the fridge, and he'd come running. He also held a grudge against remote-controlled cars.
