I got this meme from my boy Freaky Deaky. He’s been on a meme kick this week… and this one I kinda liked, so I stole it! Only thing I didn’t like was that some of the questions were asked more than once, but in a different way.

Part 1: The Birth of You

Were you a planned baby?
Yes. My mother made sure that I knew that I wasn’t a mistake.

Were you the first?
Yes.

Were your parents married when you were born?
Nope.. and still aren’t

What is your birth date?
It’s coming up! So I’ll be expecting gifts :-) It’s September 25, 1982 (I’ll be 24 for you non-math majors)

Part 2: The Family

How would you describe your family?
Full of females… I don’t know.. we’re close in the sense that we can depend on each other in times of need… but we’re not so close that we’re included in our daily routines – I’m lying… some of my cousins/aunts are like that. I’m just not.

Are your parents married?
Didn’t I just answer this? No

Siblings or an only child?
Only child to my mom. I have a little sister because of my dad.

What are your siblings names?
Tiarra.

Do you have step parents?
If my parents aren’t married… then how could that be possible?

Part 3: The Friends

Do you have more than one best friend?
Yes… 3. GTL is my best friend. My “brother” is my best friend… I’m the female version of him. We’ve known each other since we were 12. My homegirl Ericka that lives in Charlotte. We’ve been friends since I was 19.

What do you like to do when you are together?
GTL… none of your business! LOL. Sike… we do everything together… so it’s hard to answer this question for him. My “brother” – we’re more phone friends. When we do see each other, it’s usually at a party that one of us is having & we’re there to support. Ericka is kind of the same in regards to being a phone friend, but only b/c she lives in Charlotte… but we usually just bug out & reminisce about our college days together. Or trip off of her daughter b/c she is off the hook!

Do you share the same interests?
I don’t think they’d be my friend if we didn’t share the same interests…

Which friend can you tell anything to?
GTL and Ericka are the ones that I usually tell any and everything to. My brother knows a lot… but some things I just don’t tell him.

Part 4: Your Personality

How high/low is your self-esteem?
My self-esteem is high. Don’t you read my blog? I’m conceded. LOL! Of course there are some things that I wouldn’t mind changing, but I don’t let those minor things change my overall view of myself.

Do you get depressed about things easily?
No… It’s weird cause some things in my life I should be really depressed about… but I can’t change it so I don’t stress over it. But I think my feelings about certain things come out when I watch movies/shows… because if it is remotely similar to something going on in my life.. I cry. But once it’s over… I’m back to my normal self!

Are you an extrovert or an introvert?
Depends… am I drunk? LOL. Really.. it depends on the environment. I can be very friendly and somewhat talkative to people I’ve just met if it’s in an environment that calls for me to do so. But I’m not one to spark a conversation w/ someone standing in front of or behind me in a long ass line just to help the time go by fast. And once I meet you… it will take me a minute to open up to you completely b/c I don’t you…

Are you happy?
That question reminds me of TI’s song… how you gonna act like that? LOL. But yes, I’m happy.

Do you live life to the fullest?
I guess. I try new things (not food!) I travel. I try my best to participate in various activities (even though it may burn me out)

Part 5: Appearance

Are you comfortable with the way you look?
For the most part.

Would you change anything about your appearance if you could?
Sure – who wouldn’t?

Do you have any piercings besides your ears?
My belly button is pierced.

Describe your hair?
Right now… braids. Normally… long and straight.

Part 6: The Past

Were you a strange child?
Strange to who? I don’t think so… cause I do see some strange ass kids these days! And I don’t think I ever acted like that growing up…

What did you use to love that you no longer do?
Being outside. I used to stay outside tripping with my friends. Now… there are too many bugs out there for me! And I don’t do bugs – at all! Plus the weather seems to never work with you. It’s either too damn hot or too damn cold – there’s never a median (unless it’s raining)

Do you have the same friends?
I’m still friends with 2 dudes I grew up with. I still keep in contact with another 2 people I knew when I was younger… but I wouldn’t consider them my “friend.”

Was there anything in your past that was traumatizing?
No… not really (at least I can’t remember)

Part 7: The Future

What is your dream?
To live a long, healthy, and happy life… and for my future children to do the same.

Are you scared of growing old?
No. “I ain’t never scared!” LOL. It’s inevitable, so why be scared? Plus you’re only as old as you feel/act.

Do you want to get married?
Yes… I’m just waiting on my ring.

LOL!

Part 8: The Outdoors

Do you prefer indoors or outdoors?
Indoors. Bugs are outside.

What is your favorite season?
The late spring b/c the weather is pretty nice & it’s not raining as much as it is in the earlier part of the season. But also fall because that’s when my birthday is and I get gifts!

Favorite weather?
Warm. Mostly Sunny. Highs about 83. (I sound like a weatherman! LOL)

Do you like walking in the rain?
That’s how you get sick! I prefer to either sit on the porch while it’s raining or to sit by an open window/door.

Part 9: Food

Are you a vegetarian?
No. Far from it!

What is your favorite food?
I don’t know… I like bar-b-q ribs… fried chicken… I guess you can say my favorite food group is meat.

What food makes you want to gag?
Peas. I actually did gag off of them once when I was little – my dad tried to make me eat them… I spit them bad boys right back out into my napkin & refused to eat them. Onions as well… I don’t like the way they feel in my mouth.

What is your favorite restaurant?
Bertucci’s. I also like Ruby Tuesdays.

Part 10: Experiences

What was one of your greatest experiences?
When we played our championship game at the Bryce Jordan Center. The rush I felt at the beginning of the game is indescribable.

Have you ever done drugs?
Yes. I’ve smoked weed a couple of times. It smells great… But I don’t do drugs anymore. (not unless you consider alcohol a drug)

Have you ever thought you were going to die?
Yes. One time I got drunk out of my mind with my brother & a few other homeboys of ours. We were drinking at a park. Then it was time to go home. The dude that was driving was all in the bushes going around curves… I just knew I wasn’t going to make it home! But I did… unharmed. Now that I think about it... growing up I did a lot of dumb ass shit where I could've died... luckily the Lord was (is) with me and always seen (sees) me through my adolescence (craziness.)
