Facebook

I recently did this survey junk on Facebook and figured I would post it here as well....since I haven't anything oober exciting to share:

I had to write 25 random facts about myself....I changed number one because it only applied to the FaceBook crowd.
1. I have a little dent in my right eyelid from the removal of an eye cyst (GROSS!) if I wear eye shadow it is a real b-word to try and get it out of the little nook.
2. When I was in the 7th grade I broke my toe, it never healed right so now I have a crooked ring toe on my right foot.
3. Chocolate is lame. I don't like the way it smells and I especially hate the taste.
4. I was born and raised in North Long Beach, in fact I lived in the house that I grew up in until about 2 years ago. I now live in Sacramento and I like it a bunch. Also, I don't know snoop dogg, don't listen to sublime and I have never met Jesse James. I have however, been in the same room as a couple of them.
5. I had big dreams of being The Incredible Hulk's side kick when I was a kid. That never panned out for me...
6. I speak Spanish, I am Mexican-the whole Shannon Nicole Stevens throws people off.
7. I am not that into sweet stuff but if you deep fry it and batter it I might be swayed. I am way into the deep fried potato. For at least a year my BFF and I used to make runs to the Jack in the Box for a Large FF and Dr. Pepper.
8. I drink many many pots of coffee everyday, which means I run to the toilet a ton. This may be TMI but just in case we ever hang out for more than an hour I'd prefer to get it out there. Honesty is the way to go, you know what I mean?
9. I can't go into an office supply store without buying a pen. This has been a problem for many years, it means that I have shoe boxes full of pens. I recently got rid of hundreds. It was a tragedy.
10. When the Daytona 500 comes around you will find me planted on a couch. I have a special love for the NASCAR...whatever, deal with it.
11. I have been taking college classes since high school, I have yet to graduate, I have changed my major more times than I can count...all of this to say that I have a pretty intense fear of commitment. Also, I don't regret takin the scenic route, it has afforded me many a glorious experience and some life long friends.
12. I don't have periphreal (is that how you spell it?) vision.
13. I recently found a nest of grey hairs on my head I was bummed and excited all at once. I really want Emmylou Harris hair but I feel like 26 is a bit young.
14. I am not into the Sun. That guy bums me out. I am all about the gloomy, foggy business...perhaps all my years in Long Beach scarred me. I also get terribly homesick so I am not sure that I would make it where the sun rarely shines.
15. I can listen to anything Bonnie Prince Billy on repeat and never tire. I am still playing his last album in my car.
16. I bite my nails to the quick. My dad says that it is not lady like. I blame him for the problem, next time we are in the same room together ask us to hold out our hands. We hung out a lot, habits rub off.
17. I enjoy crafting but I am not that good at it which means that I have a box full of things that I have made which will never see the light of day.
18. I love dandelions. They remind me of my Memo. She used to collect them on her walks and bring them home to me. She encouraged dreaming big. I blame her for my love of food and romantic idealism. Not bad. She is also my hero.
19. I write letters and never send them for fear that the recipient will think I am lame. Another box full of things story...I'm a little lame.
20. My favorite word is sporatic. I was in the Borders one day and the person behind the counter used it in a sentence, I was elated, I think I terrified him.
21. I am a fan of hyperbole.
22. I am also a fan of books, I read lots of them. That is not to say that I am smart, just someone who enjoys a night in with a book.
23. My last name is hyphenated: Dominguez-Stevens. My brothers first name is hypenated: John-Michael. I guess my parents are into keeping things equal. Or they are indecisive.
24. My Dad is the smartest person I know. Watching Jeopardy with him kind of bums me out.
25. I am into nostalgia. For reals! Motor Oil, Nivea Body Cream, Bactine, Warming a Tortilla...all of these things sort of make me want to weep a bit. I am also extremely emotional. Happy tears. So many of them.
