So I'm going to revert back to an old @bloghomework topic, because I see so many other ladies doing it and I wanna share "10 Random Facts About Myself" Let's see if I can manage this without rambling about each fact as if it were it's own topic.(;
1. I'm an only child, and thank heavens for that, because I truly believe I would've been an awful sister! I always felt like I was missing out when I was growing up, seeing friends who had siblings, then I grew up and realized yeah it would've been fun to have a brother or sister, but I'm glad I didn't because I was a possessive little child, and didn't like to share, ANYTHING. Though I think had I been a bit older, and then my mom had another kid, or other way around, and the other kid was there before me, might've been a bit different.
2. Feed me Italian and Asian food for the rest of my life and you can have my heart. This is not an exaggeration, I will love you forever, and ever until the end of time. Give me cheese, pasta, and bread, and I am a happy camper! Or take me to a Habatchi grill, and I will be over the moon! Nom nom nom nom!
3. I'm a super picky eater, to put it in perspective: when my boyfriend and I go out to eat he looks on the menu for me first to make sure there's something I can eat. I won't eat anything that has condiments on it, I fucking loathe mustard and mayo, and absolutely no seafood (even though I live where some of the best seafood is supposedly) I'm really not a big carnivore either, but I could never be a vegetarian. So I'm just all over the place when it comes to food.
4. I'm addicted to gummies; When my mom was preggers with me she craved gummies like no other, in reality she HATED gummies before getting pregnant, but little ol' me was like gimmie gummies! Also for the first 6 months of my relationship, it's all I would eat around my boyfriend because it's what I considered "not real food" - for a really long time I wouldn't consume "real foods" in front of people I didn't know (I don't know, I'm weird..) so my boyfriend and I spent months going back and forth about whether they are or aren't "real food" regardless, any time he came to visit me he'd bring me like 5 bags of different gummies (still always has gummies when he picks me up), and always Blue Raspberry sharks! They're my favorite, and peach rings, and cherry bombs.. See I'm talking about them like people are going to actually know what I'm talking about.
5. I watch WAY too many TV series.. Like I get super involved in my TV shows, talk about characters as if they're real people and it's a serious problem lol. I can't control myself, when a show has good writing I'm all over it, anything cheeky, or clever always catches my attention, like Orphan Black, LOST, Fringe, Once Upon A Time, Arrested Development, Brooklyn Nine Nine, and IZombie. Or if the writing is really emotionally driven and makes you have ALL THE FEELS, like Grey's Anatomy and The 100.
6.I'm a big stand-up comedian fan. It's actually one of the things that bonded my boyfriend and I early on, we both shared a love for stand-up and it's something neither of us found very common in significant others. My favorite comedian is Jo Koy, who I actually met at International Mall, in Florida: I was looking at body scrubs at B&BW and heard one of the ladys say "I saw your show last night and it was great" I looked up and saw a bald headed Asian dude and then he turned so I could see his face, and was like HOLY SHIT! I ran over to my mom, who was talking to a sales person about some scrub, and was like "MOM, it's Jo Koy!" and pointed him out, I kid you not my mom sorta tossed the scrub to the lady and rushed out to find him, my bestfriend (who had no clue what was happening) just followed, my mom went up to him and told him I was a huge fan, I literally could not even talk, she had to explain I watched I'm on Chelsea Lately all the time, and he was my favorite, and I'd seen his comedy special a million times, he was SO sweet, and ended up giving me a hug, and we left him to his shopping, but it was amazing, and I was giddy the whole way home, also had to explain to my bestfriend why we hunted down some random dude in the mall. Anyways yeah, that's the time I met my favorite comedian.. My boyfriend has expanded my stand-up range though, as he pretty much will give ANY comedian a chance, to the point that it's annoying, though I will credit him with my appreciation for Eddie Izzard who is making a trip to Seattle on his new tour, and I totally wish I would've known sooner so I could've surprised my boyfriend with tickets. We did however get to go see Doug Benson when he was filming "Doug Dynasty" in Seattle, and though it's really short, there's a little snippet in the movie where you can see a blue-haired chick with glasses giggling off to the side, that's me! And after the show we were literally second in line so I could get some books to Doug - who actually used, and gave one away during one of his "Doug interrupts movies" in California! He was super chill, and fucking hilarious!
7. I'll try to keep this one short, as I've posted about it many times before: I'm a self-published children's author of a medical cannabis fairy tale series, to educate kids, and even some adults, about the medicinal benefits of medical marijuana and the environmental benefits of Hemp! Creating the book series has allowed me to do so many things, and meet so many amazing people, before I was even 18. I was able to attend a High Times Cannabis Cup while still being only 17, was offered to be a judge at a concentrate cup, was given a position at a small quarterly cannabis magazine as a journalist, mainly focused on children using cannabis, and have been offered to write for one of the largest cannabis magazines in my region. I've had the amazing opportunity to meet, and become close friends with so many influential people in the cannabis industry thanks to a book that when I wrote it, I never thought would even see the light of day in terms of publishing! Here's some photos and things from my journey with Peter The Peacock:
4:20 meeting at the "Peacock lodge" with Steve Elliot - "The Little Black Book of Marijuana"
First Hempfest: My mom, Danny Danko (Senior Cultivation Editor of High Times magazine) and me!
The letter we received back from Playboy Enterprise after sending Hugh Hefner a copy! (address is scratched out)
The infamous vortex page from "If A Peacock Dsicovers Hemp Island", that took weeks for me to bedazzle.
Some of the Book reviews, and features in Cannabis magazines that peter the peacock recieved:
And a VICE presentation where we were lucky enough to have the book read:
8. I am still afraid of the dark, I kinda attribute it to having lived in a haunted townhouse, where I literally had a negative vortex in my closet, we called physics, exorcists (they refused to even come), anyone you could think of, and eventually researched the history, turned out the townhouse/apartment complex had been built on top of a filled in lake that was once an Indian burial ground.. Yay for haunted houses! My family doesn't play with that - we moved out after a couple months of things becoming noticeably paranormal!
9. I'm pretty shy and awkward in actuality. I always joke I'm an "awkward otter". Once I warm up to people I'm an obnoxious, loud, jackass. But before I get to know people I'm pretty timid, usually just observe the situation, and people. Sometimes it may even take meeting someone a couple times before I feel like I can be 100% myself around them.
10. I have been on the site for almost a year! Sometime next month will be my year mark, not as being a hopeful, but from when I started as a member on the site last year, thinking I'll just get a feel for the site! Now, not even a year later I've got two sets in member review, and 5 sets in queue! It would be a dream to see one of them turn me pink, but I plan to continue shooting and hopefully getting to know, and meet even more awesome ladies and lads than I already have from SG!(:
If you made it this far, hopefully you learned a bit about me, and found it interesting enough to stick with all my rants and ramblings!
