The Facts:

1. I HATE frogs. I am absolutely terrified and disgusted by frogs and toads. However, I have absolutely no problem with snakes, spiders, or other "normal" things people are afraid of. In fact, I can't remember the last time I killed a spider. Usually I just pick them up and move them outside. I think it all started when I was about 2 and a frog jumped out of nowhere and landed on my foot. It was a very traumatic experience.

2. I graduated from high school a year early. This isn't because I'm a genius or anything like that, I just decided during my junior year that I would do anything to be done with it ASAP. I was in a pretty crappy relationship my first 2 years, and my 3rd year I got fed up with the drama and decided I wouldn't benefit from all that much from taking the AP and honors courses I had signed up for my senior year. I had already completed all my requirements except for 1 English class, so I took it online. When my mom and I met with my principal to discuss me graduating a year early, he refused. I ended up getting a diploma from some school in Maine. Hey, I was able to get into multiple colleges with it! Don't get me wrong though, I love school and have been very passionate about many of the classes I've taken. I really wish I had the flexibility in college to take a wide range of classes that I'm interested in, but unfortunately I can only afford to take ones relevant to my major.

3. My sister and I have the same birthday. May 13. The day she was born was my 2nd birthday, as well as Mother's Day. This is kinda cool, except for the fact that I have always had to share a birthday and it has never really been my day. Oh, and I was also born on Friday the 13th.

4. When I was in 3rd grade, my family and I moved to Idaho for a year so my dad could build a house for my aunt and uncle. My dad left a few months before me, my mom, and my sister. Then the rest of us took a train from NH to ID, which took 3 days. We lived in a pop-up camper until winter, when we moved into the partially built house. The town we lived in was called Waha, and was about 40 minutes away from any type of civilization. My uncle, who was helping my dad build the house, lived out of hs VW bus with his girlfriend. It was a really fun and crazy experience, but I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it if I was any older.

5.  I tend to memorize numbers and whatnot without realizing it. For some reason, my head is filled with license plate numbers, phone numbers, nutrition information, and serial numbers. Most of it is pretty useless.

6. One more- I cannot deal with having dry skin. I also hate it when my fingertips feel dry. When I was younger, I used to constantly lick my fingertips, which my parents were starting to really worry about (at least I'm also a hygiene freak). I also put lotion on about 30 times a day.
