Juggalette Me

1 year of French when I was little, 4 years of Spanish in middle and high school, 2 years of American Sign Language in high school and college- I want to pursue an interpreters license in ASL but that’s many years in the future

Who's on your speed dial?
2: Ashley, 3: Armand, 4:Cathy , 5: Gene, 6: Mrs.Hanish , 7: Juggalo Adam , 8: Sarah Wood, 9: Mysti
Irony: I can’t remember the last time I called any of these people… well, I call Ash but she doesn’t always answer (damn her and her always working), I talk to Armand on line all the time… I guess I called Cathy while I was in Iowa, oh! And I called Gene on accident at like 4am on my way to NY a few weeks ago, sorry about that! I really should call Mrs. Hanish but she’d probably just hate my new job as much as my blood relatives do… Adam…. What to do about Adam? I can’t be the only one to call… you have to make an effort, too. Sarah… I don’t know how to deal with the drama that you’re going through right now, sorry. Mysti… you walked out on me when I needed you and I’m still kind of upset about it, to be perfectly honest.

Would you do anything for someone else?
There was a time that was true, right now I don’t feel like doing anything for anyone.

Are your grades good?
They were decent- there’s more to life than grades.

Do you read trashy romance novels often?
only when they’re written by Anne Rice

Do you sing obnoxiously in the car?
yes, yes I do… A few weeks ago I stopped at a light and I was singing along to “Donna” and I didn’t realize that another car, with their windows down no less, had pulled up beside me and I whipped my head around and saw them sitting there staring at me…. haha

Do you ever sing obnoxiously in the shower?
let’s just say I feel bad for the neighbor’s to my right and above me… I’m not trying to sign obnoxiously… I just can’t carry a tune… (I really do feel bad about butchering the songs... especially sense my prefered shower-genre is musicals...)

What's in your CD player right now?
I’m alternating between two new CDs: “This Delicate Thing We’ve Made” by Darren Hayes and “I.V.” by International Victim… they’re just *slightly* different, heh

Uummm... Oh! Drew Sarich (of International Victim) used a contact table that I made on the International Victim MySpace page ; seeing that was one of the happiest/coolest moments of my life.

South America: Peru, Ecuador and probably some other small countries that I didn’t realize we were in throughout the trip. Also the Galapagos Islands- is that considered part of South America? I should know that…

1 preschool, 1 kindergarten, for elementary I went to school for a while and then was homeschooled, I was homeschooled for part of middle school and then I went to one school for 7th and another for 8th… I went to one high school for 9th and 10th and although I was technically in the same “school” for 11th and 12th it was two different campuses… though ironically the first campus was the same campus that had been an elementary school when I was in school for my elementary years… except when I went there for elementary school it was actually a half decent school.

Pool.

Do you wear any jewelry 24/7?
One ring that my mother gave me… it comes in handy at work when I tell people I’m married… not that that stops them.

Do you speak any other language?
I know enough sign language to say “can I help you?” and “I learned ASL 3 years ago and I’ve forgotten almost all of it” and tell people how much their total is.. I can also finger spell pretty good… finger reading is another matter. Oh, and I can sign the entire Darren Hayes song "Creepin' Up On You"... it's even creepier in sign than it is when it's sung... seriously- ever seen the sign for "creeping up" or "watching you"? haha.

Have you ever been suspended or expelled from school?
I was asked not to attend my high school graduation… which I thought was kind of funny because if they had looked up the orders for caps and gowns they’d see I hadn’t ordered one because I wasn’t going to attend it anyway. When I think of all the things I did for that place... how corrupt they are makes me ill... schools aren't supposed to ruin lives and I'm glad I went to a decent high school first, somewhere that taught me that I had value and that my input was valuable instead of a place that was perpetually dismissing its students... it wasn't a place of education... it was a place of "re-education" if you know what I mean...
