27 Random Things About Me

I was reading my friend's Facebook statuses last Friday and came across '25 Random Things about...Me' from J.P. It was one of my high school peers. I thought it was an excellent idea for a blogpost. This is 27 Random Things about me (27 because of my age).

1. When I  was in high school, I wanted to be the first female rapper in 'Cash Money Records'
2. Like my homie J.P. said when I eat meat I feel guilty. It hurts my soul and I feel like Lisa Simpson felt when Homer made her eat that lamb.
3. I tried marijuana 3 times because I wanted to get high but neither time I got high- nor did I like it.
4. I was a vegetarian for 3 months back in 08. I stopped being one because the holidays came.
5. I went to get my tongue pierce in 2004 and was told my tongue was to short. So I got 3 tatoos instead.
6. I met my adult best friend in college and we have the same birthday!! August 5.
7. Even though I had a lot of 'boyfriends' in high school,  I was not sexually active. I lost my virginity the day after my senior prom with long term boyfriend.  (Wassup Jeremy).
8. Despite my bitching and complaining , I actually like working with troubled kids. They keep me laughing.
9. I always carry a notebook, pens, a book, ipod, flash drives no matter where I am going or what I am doing.
10. My favorite foods are pizzas, salads, sub sandwiches.  I like the variety.
11. I love banana flavored candy.
12. My high school nickname was "Red" only a few close friends still call me that.
13. Yellow is my favorite color.
14. Tan used to be my favorite color. I liked how it accentuated my skin tone.
15. I participated in the Hurricane Katrina Relief Efforts in 2005. I was doing an internship at American Red Cross- best thing I ever did in my life.
16. I'm terrified of birds. (Don't judge me). I walk the other way when I see them.
17. I always wanted to join Peace Corps, Americorps, and Teach for America but was too lazy to complete application.
18. I always wanted to enroll in the military but did not have the discipline it required to lose the weight.
19. I want to live in NYC for one year.
20. I consider myself a vampire because I LOVE staying up late. I just function better when everybody else is sleep and the world is quiet.
21. When I have my first son I want to name him Brice or Bryson because of my name.
22. I don't get mad a lot but when I do, I black out and want to fight. (Honestly, it only happens every 4 or 5 years).
23. I hate when people call me 'Stace'. I feel that is just lazy. Say my entire name please.
24. Speaking of names if my name is mis-spelled (or you don't include middle initial in some cases) I will tell you that's not me.
25. I have a thing for guys with dreads (shhhhh). I actually have a thing for guys in tims, jeans, and white tees (or some variation of this.) Because of this my friends say I like 'thugs' boo hoo- whatever
26. Before I go out to eat my friends make me decide what I'm ordering before I get there or they don't talk to me until after food is ordered. I'm very indecisisive and change my mind frequently or I'll get side tracked into a conversation.
27. I did this entire blog post on my phone so if you see any typos etc that's the reason why. I love this phone!!
