Fun Facts About ME Friday

No, I did not quit the Alphabet Soup posts.  Yes, I will continue.  Yes, I do have some greats for C.  Yes, I will eventually do outfit posts.  I need to get a tripod, but I've been lazy about it.   

I thought since it's Friday and I don't really talk about myself that much, that I'd do a post about me.  And what's more interesting than fun facts about me?!  So, here are a few things you didn't know about me.

1. I love paintballing.  And I'm gooood.  Beat out about 40 boys.  We used to play all the time but haven't in a while. 

The hubs and I in our matching gear.  Haha.

Where's Amy?  Can you spot me?  Hint: I'm the only girl.


2. I openly love Gossip Girl, 90210, and Melrose Place.  I drop everything to watch them on Monday and Tuesday nights. 

Gossip Girl

90210

Melrose Place


3. I'm deathly afraid of the water, but I love white water rafting.  It's weird, I know.  I don't get it either.  Must be the thrill seeker in me.

That's me with my head turned away from the camera on the right side of the raft.  Keep your eye on me.

Where's Amy?  Again.  Yes, I'm completely submerged under the water.  Yes, that is terrifying for someone who can't swim.  Yes, I would do it again!


4. I was born a lefty, but my dad forced me to be a righty.  I write with my right hand, strum the guitar with my left, I snowboard goofy foot, and I play video games like I would fly (pushing the joystick away from me is down and towards is up).  I'm all backwards!  Makes me... unique... right?


5. I just found out about 5 years ago that I'm not full Korean.  I'm part Russian.  Probably explains my lighter hair.  No, I do not dye my hair. 


So, that's a little bit of me.  I hope you found it somewhat interesting.  I love knowing these types of random facts about people.  If you're game, you should try it out.  Post 5 random things about yourself, because it's Fun Facts About ME Friday!!!!

  2. This is charming -- fashion bloggers so rarely write about themselves that I always find it so interesting when they do!

  3. Thanks for sharing!

    Rock on with the paintballing - I've always wanted to try it.

    And I'm the same way with the rafting! I've been twice in NM, but I can't swim either. I just paddled really hard and had my foot wedged real good in that raft pocket.

  11. How fun! I like know ing more about the person behind the blog.

    Paintballing, snow sports and thrill seeker? Are we the same person? ;) I love all that stuff too and just like you, tend to be the only girl in an all guy group since I am the only one willing to participate. Sometimes you have to get dirty and be a risk taker to have fun. :)

    Have a great weekend!

  27. So cool!!! Were you a bit of a tomboy growing up? I'm glad you taught the guys who's boss. LOL

    I knew I liked you! In fact, before I read this I passed on a handful of awards to you. It's ironic that you had already shared 10 random facts--that is the only string attached to the awards. =)

    Have a great weekend!

  42. Great post! Always nice to see personal touches from the author. Paintballing - ouch! I've done that a few times - wish I was good. Oh, I love your hair color. You are right, I did mistake it as dyed. But now that I know it's natural, I like it even more. Thanks for letting us know more about you!

  52. This was so much fun to read! It's so cute that you are good at paintball. Good on you! And all the adventures (but not liking water!)

    I think it's cute that you are so good with the adrenaline things but also kind girly with your tv shows.

    And that's great that you are part russian. My hair is like yours and people think I dye mine too. x

    ReplyDelete
  53. Ugh, I used to watch those shows obsessively but this season I have only seen like 2 episodes of each! Time to get online and watch the whole season.
