...you never knew...

So. It's been a good million years since I did a Top5 Tuesday! Eeep! But I promised yesterday that I'd be more diligent at updating my blog! So here goes. Here are the top5 things that you probably didn't know about me... (unless you are one of my BFFs- in which case...you probably DO know)...

5. When I was a sophomore (or was I a freshman? hmmm) in HS...the girl's basketball coach followed me around to each of my classes trying to get me to try out. I kept insisting that I ab.so.lute.ly. suck...but he persisted...I don't know if he finally asked around or saw that "Choir" was on my schedule...but he finally let up! ;)

4. I was born in South Korea and lived there until I was like 4 (minus a short time we lived in Myrtle Beach, SC). When I was about 3 years old...my mom had taken me with her to get her hair cut or something...and I was to play w/ some of our neighbor girls outside the store. I remember these girls not being nice. And...they wanted to "ditch" me...and they did. I can distinctly remember wandering around...and asking people if they knew where my mom was. After what seemed like an eternity...I walked to my babysitters house. How I knew to get there is still a mystery...but things musta looked familiar.

3. I'm slightly terrified of storms. It started in my childhood...when we lived in a 2story house...and the darn tree outside my window would either 1. scrape the tile on our roof by my bedroom window...or 2. snap in half and block our garage. It's scary stuff for a lil gal! Then when I was a junior in HS...I was at Walgreens making copies for a presentation for my English class (haha- remember when NO one owned a 3in1 machine/scanner?!) and it was raining...when I went to make a lefthand turn out of the parking lot...the car hydroplaned...and I ended up spinning to the opposite side of the road- facing traffic. Greeeaaat. And finally...right before I got married...I was coming home from a friends house when it started to storm...and then hail...and I was on the 101...before they tarred it all up...and it was hailing bad...and you literally couldn't see ANYthing...and my window cracked BAD...and it was loud...and NOone would answer their phone...and my cell battery was dying...and everything was bright white...and I thought I was going to die...and all I wanted to do was get out of my car and knock on the window of the car next to me and see if I could just sit w/ them until it was all over!!! :( So. Yeah. I'm slightly terrified of storms.

2. Before I got married...I didn't cook a single thing in my life. Well...I don't exactly count ramen noodles as cooking. I was so freaked out that we would starve! LOL...so I started out doing "from the box" meals...and then I started baking up a STORM...and then I finally started cooking other things... I like trying to cook things my mom always makes...but I can NEVER get it to taste even a FRACTION as yummy. :(

1. Hmmm. Minus the 2 times I gave birth...I have never had to stay overnight at the hospital. Nor have I ever broken a bone. Nor do I ever go to the doctor- unless I think I'm absolutely dying! This actually kinda has started freaking me out. I've just heard one too many stories about peeps my age finding out they have cancer or something crazy. I want to go and get a big check up...but I don't wanna be lectured at how I could drop a few pounds. :P
