...Can You Handle My Truth?
I just want you all to know that if you want me to add you, you're going to have to give me a good reason. If you just send me a friend request I'm going to deny you. It's not that I'm stuck up, it's just that I don't see the point in having "friends" I don't talk to. It's gay. All of the people I have on my list I either know in real life, they gave me a GREAT reason to be friends or they're bands. So, come on...give me a reason. Send me a message.

~I'm a walking contradiction.
~Though I don't drink it, I love pictures of blood, so if you have any, send 'em my way!
~I'm very open & honest. Sometimes brutally.
~If you don't want a truthful answer to a question, don't ask me. (i.e. "Do these jeans make me look fat?" I will tell you the truth)
~I'm neurotic. If you don't know what this means, you should look it up. Knowledge is POWER.
~When I L.O.V.E. someone or something, I L.O.V.E. with my whole heart.
~I'm 5'4".
~Until about 4 years ago my eyes were blue all the time...then they started changing colours. Now they go from blue to green to gray.
~I like to know a little bit about everything so I'm full of useless knowledge & L.O.V.E. to share. ~ Did you know that goldfish have a memory span of only 3 seconds?
And that drangonflies only have a life span of 24 hours?
~I have a terrible memory, but remember things that don't matter & dates. I always remember dates. Birthdays especially & dates of events that stick out in my own mind, but others couldn't care less about.
~I often feel insecure & confident. AT...THE...SAME...TIME...
~I'd rather feel insane than sane.
~My daddy died suddenly of a heart attack when I was 11...while I was in the room.
~I'm not afraid of anything.
~I like to make people question themselves.
~I like to make people feel good about themselves & the world.
~I L.O.V.E. to give advice.
~I L.O.V.E. baseball & my favorite teams are the New York Yankees & the Detroit Tigers.
~I L.O.V.E. Pistons Basketball.
~I L.O.V.E. football & have season tickets at The Big House.
For those of you that DON'T know...that's the University if Michigan football stadium.
~I wear a size 34-D bra, but wish it were a 34-C again.
~They're real.
~I love my hair.
~Like Britney Spears, I went from a 34-B to a 34-D over a period of 3 months which is why I know she didn't get implants.
~Britney's birthday is the day after mine...same year.
~I'm Italian, Irish & English.
~I never want to give birth.
~But I want to be a mother, so I'm going to adopt.
~If I could live anywhere in the world, it would be Italy.
~If I could live anywhere in this country, it would be North or South Carolina. ~No one L.O.V.E.S. me as much as I L.O.V.E. them.
~I'm in debt & have many $$$ issues.
~I wish I were rich & famous so I could help more people.
~If I could have a career in any field I wanted, I would be a full time volunteer for as many groups as I could.
"...Useless Knowledge?" By, Ginger...this is all the useless (knowledge is never useless!!!) knowledge I can write down off the top of my head, in one sitting...
In the 1400's a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have "the rule of thumb."
Many years ago in Scotland a new game was invented. It was ruled "Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden"...thus the word GOLF entered into the English language.
The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV were Fred and Wilma Flintstone.
Every day more money is printed for Monopoly than the U.S. Treasury.
Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better than men.
It is impossible to lick your elbow.
The state with the highest percentage of people who walk to work: Alaska.
The percentage of Africa that is wilderness: 28%
The percentage of North America that is wilderness: 38%
The cost of raising a medium-size dog to the age of eleven: $6,400.
The average number of people airborne over the U.S. in any given hour: 61,000
Intelligent people have more zinc and copper in their hair.
The first novel ever written on a typewriter: Tom Sawyer
The San Francisco cable cars are the only mobile National Monuments.
Each king in a deck of playing cards represents a great king from history:
Spades - King David
Hearts – Charlemagne
Clubs -Alexander, the Great
Diamonds - Julius Caesar
111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321
If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle. If the horse has one front leg in the air the person died as a result of wounds received in battle. If the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.
Only two people signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4th, John Hancock and Charles Thomson. Most of the rest signed on August 2, but the last signature wasn't added until 5 years later.
Q. Half of all Americans live within 50 miles of what?
A. Their birthplace
Q. Most boat owners name their boats. What is the most popular boat name requested?
A. Obsession
Q. If you were to spell out numbers, how far would you have to go until you would find the letter "a"?
A. One thousand

In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes. When you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase, "goodnight, sleep tight."
It was the accepted practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.
In English pubs, ale is ordered by pints and quarts... So in old England, when customers got unruly, the bartender would yell at them "Mind your pints and quarts, and settle down." It's where we get the phrase "mind your P's and Q's."
Many years ago in England, pub frequenters had a whistle baked into the rim, or handle, of their ceramic cups. When they needed a refill, they used the whistle to get some service. "Wet your whistle" is the phrase inspired by this practice.
You're painstakingly impressed ;-)
