101 Things About ME



  1. I originally wanted to do 111 things about me, but because I like David so much I didn’t want to out-do him.  I also didn’t want to copy Travis.
  2. When I was a young child I used to sleep with my smelly blanket.  I would start by smelling the corner of the blanket, work my way around the edges, then inch by inch I’d smell the entire surface area of the blanket.  After sniffing a section, I would then stuff it under my neck, until the whole blanket was wedged under my neck.  Only then could I fall asleep.
  3. I can’t wait to get married and live on a farm and have lots of pets.
  4. When my mom took away my soother for good, I would steal my Cabbage patch doll’s plastic soother and suck on that.
  5. I now have a huge gap between my front teeth because of it.
  6. Nobody knows I have a gap because there is a metal staple thingy glued to the back of my teeth, holding them together.
  7. When I grow up, I ultimately would like to become a housewife.
  8. I don’t like kids.  Okay, I like some kids.  Quite, cute kids that don’t crap their pants.
  9. My biggest fear is not having friends…and buffalos.
  10.   The first time I got drunk was at Dione Litun’s 18th birthday party.  I too, was 18.  I threw up on the front lawn and passed out in the freezing night air.
  11.   I am extremely gassy, and I’m not about to hold it all in.  I could die!
  12.   David has inspired me to let out my gas at even the most inappropriate times.
  13.   I spent a lot of time fighting with my parents growing up.
  14.   I used to have a really bad temper and wreck things…like the ceiling in my room when I kicked it in.
  15.   I wear my heart on my sleeve because I want people to know who I am right away.  That way, they can decide if they’re going to waste their time with me or not right away.
  16.   I wish, more than anything that I was on T.V. or in the movies.
  17.   I’ve had a couple people tell me I could be a model.  That would be great.  Too bad I couldn’t be sexy if my life depended on it.
  18.   I’ve been called a bitch more times than I deserve.  I’m not a bitch, I’m misunderstood.
  19.   I love to cook big suppers and entertain guests.
  20.   I am a perfectionist…and anal-retentive when it comes to cleanliness.
  21.   In NAIT everyone thought I was a prude.  So I yelled at them in the computer lab and told them everything I’d ever done with a guy.  That was stupid and embarrassing.  There must have been 10 people in there.
  22.   I still don’t know what I want to do with my life and sometimes that scares me.  But most of the time, I could care less.  I prefer to live my life day to day, and not think about the future too much. 
  23.   I hate team spirit and all that “RA RA” crap.  “Good job Amy!!!!  Nice try, we’ll get it next time!!!!! YAY team”.  Don’t tell the girl she did a good job if she just cost you the game.  Give her hell and she won’t make the mistake again.
  24.   Sometimes I think I sound negative.
  25.   I work at two different companies that work together.  I like one boss, but not the work.  I hate the boss but love the work.  I’m screwed.
  26.   I am slightly racist.  I blame it on VEGREVILLE. 
  27.   I am an expert horse rider.  I have been riding horses since I was 4.  I love it, but I don’t compete anymore,
  28.   When I used to show horses, my dad would yell at me from across the arena.  I was so humiliated and disappointed with myself after every class that I’d cry.  He made me hate showing.
  29.    When I was a teenage I always wanted a gay male friend.  I wanted to be Grace, and he would be my Will.  Now I have gay friends and it’s everything I’d hoped it would be!
  30.   I always try to snack healthy with rice crackers or crispy minis.  But once in a while I just have to eat a bag of ketchup Old Dutch chips.
  31.   I love all colors associated with the fall season.  Particularly the olive greens.
  32.   I love to camp and hike and explore.
  33.   I’ve never been a girly girl.  In fact I hate girly girls.  If you are a girly girl and you’re reading this…I’m not sorry.  Get dirty, fight, swear, cut your hair, go one day without make up.  Sheesh.
  34.   I just bought Robert Downey Junior’s new album.  I can’t stop listening to it.  I mean its Robert Downey Junior.  Who knew??

  36.   I used to wear really tight jeans in junior high for a reason…and it’s not because they looked good.
  37.   I think dogs can be hit once in a while.  If they pee on you of bite you, there’s only one way to teach them a lesson.
  38.   I loved to play with dead things as a child.  Once I jumped on a dead, bloated cow like it was a trampoline.  But the fun and games stopped when I broke through.
  39.   I’m only at 39 and I’m already tired of typing.

  52.   Although I am from Vegreville, I am NOT a redneck hick.
  53.   Vegreville has the world’s largest Pysanka (Ukrainian Easter egg).  But that isn’t about me.  I decorated Ukrainian Easter eggs every year in school.

  65.   I think David Van Boom is arrogant, but it isn’t a bad thing.  Normally I can’t stand arrogant people, but I can’t seem to get enough of David.  He’s misjudged.  He’s really just this bright-eyed innocent little boy…with a really dirty mind.
  66.   I have really weak wrists and ankles.
  67.   Running is something I wish I did more of.  I love running.
  68.   Many people have told me I’m pretty or hot.  I don’t think I’m either.  Once in a while I have a good hair/make up day when I look fantastic.  But for the most part, I’m just a plain Jane.
  69.   I have researched many dogs, and have determined that an Irish Wolfhound is the one for me.  A Greyhound also ranks very high.

  71.   I can usually find beauty in anything I look at.  This computer screen has a lovely glow to it.

  74.   I wore braces for two years, and a retainer for one.  I like my teeth now.

  76.   It’s sad that kids these days don’t know the same songs that we knew growing up.  The Muffin Man, Baby Belluga, the Little Green Frog, and more.  All they know these days is Britney Spears.
  77.   I worry about raising my children in this world.  It’s almost unfair to them.
  78.   I hate technology.  I hate computers, cell phones, anything that makes noise and can break down.
  79.   Photography is a passion of mine.  I love to take photos of landscapes, but would love to learn how to take portraits.
  80.   I hate pop.  I don’t hate it, but it’s so disgusting and bad for you.  My New Year’s resolution in 2002 was to give up pop.  It lasted about 2 months.
  81.   I wish I could stop chewing my nails.  It’s a rally hard habit to kick.

  90.   This 101 things about me deal is just a reason to talk about myself and hope that people care.

  93.   I never read books unless I have to.
  94.   My favorite show on TV to this day was Felicity.  Sex in the City and Queer as Folk rate right up there too.
  95.   I’m excited to be at 95 already.  Almost done!

  97.   I am happy.
  98.   I don’t believe in God but for some reason I believe that when a loved one dies, they watch over you, even pets. (okay, so John Edward got to me)
