Random Facts in Everyday Things

One of my friends on prosebox came up with a random facts entry about herself, and I wanted to do the same. It's been a while since I've done one of these. Without further ado...

*I'm the youngest of three children. My oldest sister is 12 years older than me, and the next child would have been a year older than me, but she died during birth.

*I never missed school from Kindergarten to my high school graduating day. My parents always made sure I went to school.

*I was born in Atlanta on Christmas Eve. Even though I lived there briefly, I'll always consider it my real hometown.

*My first job was at Domino's working as a pizza delivery driver. I actually found the job by accident. I remember ordering pizza and learning about the position and applied on the spot.

*I had my first girlfriend in 8th grade (she was in the 6th grade)...lol. Her name was Ashley Sanders, but we only lasted like a week. Her parents flipped when she found out we were "dating" lol.

*I never went to Prom in high school. Outside of marching and symphonic band, the only high school function I went to was a homecoming dance my junior year.

*My first car was a Chevrolet Cavalier 4-door. My dad handed it down to me, but I flipped it on my birthday back in 2002 -_-. Luckily, I was going under 40 mph and emerged with only a scratch. The accident was totally my fault though.

*My 5th grade teacher was a huge inspiration. She introduced me to band and karate. They had an open tryout for 6th grade band, and she encouraged me to try it out. I remember picking the drums and wanting to do that, but I eventually settled on xylophones.

*Even though I have two biological siblings, I have several friends who I've adopted as brothers and sisters: Trey, Kelly, Tori, Ana, and Monika. I met Tori and Kelly through highschoolclub.com back in the day.

*I hit financial rock bottom back in 2007. During the summer of '07, I saw my car get repo'd, my parents' home foreclosed, and having to "grow up" real fast.

*After everything went down, I secured my first ever 40-hour a week job and got my first apartment a month later. It's pretty significant because I didn't believe in working hard. My ideal job was on the weekends making little money and just playing video games all day. I racked up credit card debt not really knowing the real impact it would have on me later.

*I didn't experience my first kiss until I was 18. I remember being nervous, but I asked Tori if she would mind my kissing her. She gave me the go-ahead. I was just glad I didn't screw up lol.

*I've had several part-time jobs while I was in college. I would work at Papa Johns or Domino's and would quit a few months later. I worked at CVS for a couple of months; I worked at East Lake Golf Club for a couple of months; I worked at Circuit City for a couple of months; I worked as a vendor providing drinks to customers during the Falcons Game. That gig lasted two hours before I quit. I worked as a fan photographer at Turner Field in Atlanta. That git also lasted a couple of hours before I quit.

*I've never spent a night over a friend's house in my life. I've only spent the night with family.

*My current relationship with Jasmine happens to be the longest one I've ever been in.

*I have never had cigarettes, drugs, or alcohol. I'm still a virgin at 31 years of age.

*I always have the fan on every night while I'm sleeping. It helps keep me cool during the night as well as help me fall asleep faster.

*I always wake up before my alarm. I get irritated if my alarm wakes me up.

*I'm always early to wherever I'm going. I can't stand being late.

I think those are enough facts for now. Hopefully, you learned something new about me :-)
