the shiny side of life

5. What is the meanest message anyone has ever sent you?
-um…I haven’t really gotten any mean messages…I’ve gotten spam, so we’ll go with that.

19. What is one thing you currently dread?
-lol um…the paycheck I’ll be getting for this coming week. It will be pitiful (cause I’m taking some days off).

Yellow: 7 facts about my childhood

1. I feel like I had it pretty good.
2. I played outside a lot, I used to even consider myself sporty (lol) and I could actually throw a football pretty well (even make it spiral)
3. I danced (obvious if you know me at all) and one of my recital costumes was a Little Bo Peep outfit complete with staff.
4. This is not at all bitterness, but I was raised by my aunt for a while when I was younger (6-7ish) and my brother and I had chores. Cleaning the living room, my room, etc. Now her kids don’t do any of that and I really think my bro and I benefited from it.
5. When I was…6 or 7, I lost 2 teeth at the same time (It’s a really random memory, I remember eating rice when it happened). Only one tooth grew back though, and it grew back in the other’s place. Made for a lot of fun when I got braces.
6. I’ve been told I was a bit of a diva performance-wise. I’d make my grandfather sit and watch me do stuff. This is hilarious because now it’s pretty much the opposite
7. I spent my childhood in 3 different places: NYC, FL and Haiti.

hahaha, nice!

Orange: 6 facts about my home town (Winter Springs, FL)

I actually (sadly) don’t know a that much about my home town. Not sure if these are facts on a personal level or just random facts, so I will do a mix of both.

1. It was ranked 97 (out of 100) of the best places to live in 2011.
2. It has a population of about 33,000 people
3. It’s a mostly white area, with country clubs but it’s not as hoity toity as some areas.
4. It’s got 5 elementary schools, 1 middle and 1 high school (go bears!)
5. It was a great place to grow up. Nice neighborhoods, good schools and a pretty easy going area.
6. They built a town center (grocery store, shops and restaurants) right by the high school, which was cool. They added this fountain, but decided to place it in such a weird way that they had to make the road go around the fountain. So instead of driving down the road to get to the high school, you have to go around this fountain and it just seems ridiculous. I’m going to assume the reason is because of the way the water lines run underground. (which might be giving them too much credit lol)

Purple: 10 facts about my room

1. It’s a hot mess.
2. I have 1 window.
3. It’s 10’x10.5’ (smallish)
4. I was testing out paint colors so I have swatches of 3 different purples on each wall….and they’ve been there for probably 2 years lmao
5. most of my furniture is white
6. …and from IKEA
7. I have carpet
8. My window faces west and I see my neighbor’s house lol
9. My ceilings are 8’ high
10. I have a door handle, not a door knob

:D

2. Dream job: hahahahahahaha…if I had any idea, I probably wouldn’t be in my situation now (meaning at least I’d have something to work toward). I have NO idea, but I’d sit in an office and do something cool and make slightly more than decent money (no need to be greedy right? lol)

14. Country you would like to go to: Europe? lol okay fine, specifically France

27. Favorite TV show(s): heh…keeping it to just what’s currently airing Castle, the Vampire Diaries, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Suits, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Bones, Family Guy, the Simpsons, Supernatural, True Blood…I love tv.

30. Favorite time of day: right now…middle of the night. I’m such a night owl whether I’m at home dorking it up on Tumblr or hanging out with friends or out partying it up.

37. Something you collect: I don’t collect much anymore, but DVDs. It’s ridiculous, I have DVDs I haven’t even taken out of plastic yet. I have most of Battlestar Galactica on DVD and I haven’t watched a single disk (not counting the first 4/miniseries). Also makeup. I was a makeup junkie for a good long time and I still am, only it’s with drug store make up.

47. What worldly issues concern you the most?: I don’t talk too much about issues here, but basically the war on women is really disconcerting. Like…are we going backwards in time? The day these old white dudes making the laws suffer through cramps, have their periods, get pregnant and have (or even lose) a child, that’ll be the day they can tell me what to do with my uterus. Seriously, fuck you.

Wow, I got chatty. Thanks for playing Amie :D
