25 Things You Don't Know About Me

1. I was a teen mom. I got pregnant at the age of 16 and had my son at 17. I also married my first husband at 17. I am not proud of this but I wouldn't change it because I have a wonderful son.

2. I almost drowned as a child which is why I am now afraid of water.

3. I cover the vents in the bathroom because I'm afraid of someone spying on me. Weird, I know.

4. I turn on the water when in the bathroom so no one can hear me.

5. I cannot stand Mt. Dew but when I first met my current husband he cooked me dinner and served Mt. Dew. I drank it politely. He now knows I hate it.

6. I cannot stand having wet hair. It annoys the hell out of me but I don't blow dry my hair because it dries it out.

7. I cannot stand water in my face even in the shower. I have to wash my face in bursts because I feel like I'm drowning.

8. I have been married twice and have 2 sons, one from each marriage.

9. I have a skin problem called Psoriasis (look it up). I was bullied all of my school years and thought about suicide. It at one point covered almost my entire body and now cannot work because the stress brings it out. I still struggle with self esteem because of it.

10. I have never been in a physical fight. 

11. I believe in the paranormal and have had many experiences.

12. I was raised Pentecostal but left that religion due to the strict rules put on women. You cannot wear pants, cut your hair, wear makeup, or pierce your ears. It was a myth in our church that we worshiped snakes. I now have no set religion, just belief.

13. My best friend slept with my ex-husband while we were still married. Needless to say she is no longer my friend.

14. My first marriage was abusive. Mentally, emotionally, and physically.

15. My current husband is a Marine, was a bouncer for a nightclub in Daytona Beach, and was a boxer.

16.  I have chosen not to have friends in my real life due to being hurt by all of my past friends.

17. My secret dream is to be a famous singer.

18. I was with both my mother and father when they passed away. I made the choice on both occasions to remove them from life support and held them as they passed away.

19. I am deathly afraid of spiders. I was bit in the eye by one as a child and almost ran into a web with a giant one. I cannot even call them by name. I call them "S words". My friend was unaware just how bad my phobia was when she pointed out a stuffed "T word" (the large hairy ones) in the mall and I ran from the store.

20. I am the youngest of 3 siblings. My brother is 12 years older than me and my sister is 13 years older than me.

21. I was in show choir in high school and that was the greatest moment of my school years. It was close to living my dream when I was able to sing solos. We won our biggest competition in my freshman year.

22. I never had a broken bone until I was 35 (I'm now 36) when I fell down the stairs on Christmas Eve and broke my big toe.

23. I read true murder novels because I enjoy getting into the minds of sick, twisted individuals. And no, I have no thoughts of murdering people....lol

24. I have never cheated in my life. Have I thought about it? Yes, during my first marriage, but couldn't go through with it because I believe in being faithful.

25. I refuse to do dishes because I cannot stand to touch dirty dishes. It literally makes me sick.

Bonus: I have tried marijuana twice. The first time was because I was out of my anxiety medication and thought I would try it once. The second time was for the same reason but they weren't paying attention and gave me something 5 times stronger then the first. It made me viciously ill and I passed out for a brief moment. My whole body went numb and I kept asking if I was wearing clothes because I could not feel them. My mouth was dry and I was given sips of water but kept choking on it because I could not feel my throat muscles to swallow it properly and had to have my head turned to drain the water out of my mouth. I have never touched it since and never will.
