Little Known and Shocking Facts

Courtesy of MizDos and Hoopty, here are 12 amazing but true facts about me.

• I have a tatoo of a yin-yang sign with two dolphins “swimming” around it on my left outer calf.
• I have 9 piercings (5 in my right ear, 3 in my left, and my nose). And I would be interested in more, most notable my eyebrow.
• I did drama/theater/musical theater all through high school, college, and beyond, including semi-professional and community theater, until I had my first son. I miss it A LOT.
• I can play the piano, the flute (and the piccolo), and the accordion (yes, really, the accordion). I once won honorable mention in a national high school band soloists competition playing the flute.
• When I was 12, my family and I went to Aspen, Colorado to go skiing and saw a man skiing naked (nothing but boots and skis on – it was a dare), and we have the pictures to prove it (and no, I won’t post them here :P).
• I didn’t meet my biological father until I was 15 years old.
• I have dyed my hair nearly every color of the rainbow (including pink and green).
• I suffer from severe depression, anxiety, and panic attacks.
• I REALLY LOVE go-go music (this is music that is native ONLY to the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore area, you have to hear it to understand what I am talking about….maybe I will try to get some clips up of it).
• More times than I can count I have been the only white person in the immediate vicinity, and really didn’t even notice until someone pointed it out to me. LoL.
• I absolutely adore breastfeeding. (And NO, it isn’t a sexual thing, you nekkid FREAKS!). I just love the COMPLETENESS I feel, the knowledge that only I can feed my child, only I can comfort him, and he is completely healthy and happy because of something I can provide for him. Given how hard I worked to get breastfeeding right with my younger son, and almost failing several times, I feel like I deserve to enjoy it.
• I am currently experiencing a deep sense of disappointment at not being married by the time I turn 30 (which will be in 5 months). Any takers? LoL.
• I am a closet freak. (Oh, wait, I guess that’s not such a little known fact after all. Oooopps. =D…..OK, OK, OK, so I’m not exactly in the closet either…technicalities, I tell ya. hehehehe)

Oh, I guess that was 13 facts. Cool. A coven of facts. 😛
