the trend has started and now I’m following, time to share some probably not all that interesting facts about myself!
1. I’ve worked in the geriatric field for 7 years and I still can’t get the residents/patients I work for to understand my name is leslie and not “lovely”. Something about saying my name is just utterly confusing for them
2. I have two cats, Harley and Binx and yes, I am a cat lady. #noshame #catsfordays
3. I’m an extrovert through and through. I don’t often need time to myself to “recoup” but I was placed on a team where they all need that alone time…..I guess I’ll be learning boundaries on the race lol
4. I talk loud by nature. I’m not sure if it’s because I work with old people or if I’m slightly deaf but people are constantly telling me to “use my inside voice” but let’s be real, I have two volumes- loud and extra loud because I’m excited about something. I’ll try to work on that before the race 😉
4. my short term and long term memory suck sooo…there’s that
5. I’m too competitive for my own good and often can’t play friendly games because I get too invested. It’s a problem
6. I have an irrational fear of dolls, clowns and getting trapped under water in a car
7. On that note, I’m actually really scared of water
8. And the fish and unknown creatures that swim in said water. NO THANKS
9. I thrive best in emergency situations
10. I’m in a better mood when it’s storming outside
11. Harry potter rocks my world but I refuse to watch the final movie, I’m just not ready to deal with that yet
12. I prefer Disney channel and full house over any other shows
13. But I will absolutely binge watch ridiculousness
14. I find extreme humor in people tripping over things (as long as their not hurt by it. Although I’ll probably still laugh which is terrible)
16. doing this reminds me of filling out surveys on MySpace. I’ll always be #teammyspace. #tomyouletusdown
17. I mostly speak in sarcasm and movie quotes
18. But most the time (unless you’re Aly or Lauren) no one gets my movie quotes and then I look stoopid
19. I have a love/hate relationship with scary movies
20. I’m terrible to share a bed with because by the end of the night there’s no pillows on the bed, the fitted sheet is off and I’m all over the place. Good lucky to any of my team who has to share a bed with me :p
21. I’ll turn 25 overseas where I can’t have a semi life crisis because god has me on an awesome adventure!
22. I always voice my opinion. And even when I don’t, my face will. Totes don’t have a poker face
23. I love reading but I always fall asleep when I try so it takes me foreverrrr to finish a book
24. My family calls me shlez, my friends call me Lou and my team calls me lulu — I’m sure I’ll develop more nicknames along the race
25. I stutter when I get excited to say something
26. My brain is typically thinking about 8 things at once so when I seem distracted, it’s because I am. Tell me to chill and focus on the task at hand
27. Fall and winter are my favorite seasons
28. I have a bad habit of getting a new phone every couple months and that’s usually followed with a new number too
29. I get the hiccups at least twice a day. For no reason. Don’t try to scare them out of me either because they will only stay longer
30. Speaking of scaring, I’m an easy target. You can literally just say “boo” and I’ll jump. Don’t take advantage of that! But I know you all will anyways .______.
31. I have two nephews and a niece that I’m obsessed with. If I knew how to add pictures in here I would because everyone should see their cuteness
32. I journal/write every day, it’s the only way to organize my scattered brain
33. I laugh louder than any normal person should. It can e irritating for others, oopsies!
34. I’ve been every hair color you can think of. My favorite is still the blonde. Most hated it which is probably why I loved it so much
35. If you want to get me to do something all you have to do is tell me I can’t, challenge me or tell me I won’t do it. Works every time.
36. I think I’m so much funnier than I really am but I enjoy it
37. Naps make anything better
38. I get overwhelmed in crazy busy places and at that point I just stop whatever I’m doing and shut down. If you see me lost in a crowd just grab my hand and lead me out otherwise I’ll just stand there being useless
39. I love hugs. I will probably hug you more than you care for but just deal with it 🙂
40. I laugh in uncomfortable or quiet situations
41. I have no sense of time. Last week could really have been 3 years ago. It’s all the same to me
42. I love dance music. Anything with a good beat drop and I’m up dancing
43. Which let me warn you, I dance like a 50 year old mom #momdanceswag
44. Idk
45. I honestly can’t think of anything else about myself so I’m going to skip to 50 and be done
50. My sister had a doll named baby Jesus and when she gave it to me I renamed it hungry baby. Oh, and my first word was donut……..#iguessiwashungry
Well, those are all the facts I can think of for now. Welcome to my brain! I love you all o squad fam and I can’t wait to set off in January on our crazy adventure! Toodles!
