Things Most People Don't Know About Me

So i got these from a few people and they were interesting so i decided to do one of my own...
1. My younger sister is my best friend. I actually look up to her and want to be like her in many ways ( I don’t know if she knows that or not)
2. I am VERY clumsy!!! I trip, walk into walls, or lose my balance randomly while walking about 3-5 times a day. I also can't walk in a straight line to save my life...
3. I’m extra prissy—I can’t stand for my hands and/or clothes to get dirty. When I was a baby I refused to eat peanut butter because it would get stuck to my hands causing me to scream until someone cleaned me.
4. When I was younger I hated all condiments ( I still kinda do). I would always order plain hamburgers in my McDonald’s Happy Meals, just meat and the bread. I still to this day won’t eat a hotdog unless it’s absolutely plain.
5. Speaking of food, I can’t stand for my food to touch. My parents bought me special plates to eat on at dinner so that I wouldn’t waste food that ended up touching other foods my mom cooked.
6. My parents were EXTREMELY over-protective of me and my sister growing up. We were never allowed to play in the front yard, cross the street, or walk up and down the driveway (even when I was in high school). To this day it feels very strange to walk from my front door towards the street.
7. I still remember my first whipping by my mother. She told me I couldn’t have something that I wanted, so I came at her with my hands up like bear claws growling. She stripped me down to nothing, got a switch from the backyard, beat me and then made me take a bath and go to bed. Anybody who’s ever gotten whipped with a switch knows a soapy bath afterwards is EXTRA torture.
8. My dad’s remedy for everything is to “put a hot rag on it”. When I had a headache, stomach ache, toothache, whatever was hurting, my father would make me get a bath cloth and wet it with steaming hot water and lay it on my ailment. He also firmly believes that a hot rag would cure acne.
9. When I was a senior in high school, my father hit me with a car. He was dropping me off at school one day, and as I was walking around the front of the car, he was looking behind him for oncoming traffic. Once it was clear, he took off as I was still standing in front of the car. My right knee began to swell up to the size of a grapefruit and it still bothers me to this day.
10. When I was about 8 or 9, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in my hands, but my mother called the devil a liar and the next Sunday at Church she took me up to be prayed for and I was healed.
11. I used to be able to sing. In 7th grade, I starred as Dorothy in The Wiz, but by 8th grade the talent faded.
12. I have random muscle spasms all over my body. They don’t hurt, but my muscles just jump and twitch. I tell myself that that part of my body is growing
13. I always wanted to go on Soul Train and dance. I’d watch every Saturday , and I just knew I’d be one of the featured dancers they always had the cameras on.
14. You know how some women like men in uniform? I LOVE Black men in suits, it really is a big turn on for me…uniforms do nothing.
15. I’ve always wanted to invent a machine that would read out loud the thoughts that cross my mind, so I wouldn’t have to talk to people.
16. I make faces at everyone and everything that is annoying or just stupid. I can’t help it and don’t realize I do it.
17. I hate cats, twizzlers, oranges, grape soda and peppermints (the hard kind that old women keep in their purses)
18. I used to hate my height until I started modeling around the age of 16. Now I still don’t like it, I just try to embrace it.
19. When I used to act in elementary and middle school, I’d think about my maternal grandmother dying in order to cry on cue.
20. I used to have the biggest crush on Alfie from “My Brother and Me”…lol
21. I used to have a map of the mall taped to the inside of my locker like Lisa Turtle on Saved By the Bell
22. I am scared of being abducted or kidnapped because of all the Lifetime movies my mother, sister, and I watched back-to-back-to-back.
23. I have a fear of falling so I can never ride roller coasters.
24. I’ve kept a diary since I was able to write and I read them every now and then to reminisce on my dramatic episodes of nothingness.
25. My first kiss was with my first boyfriend (age 7) at a Kriss Kross Concert underneath his coat in the backseat of his dad’s car.
26. I only remember getting dirty one day in my life, when I was playing in the mud with this little white girl who lived down the street from me.
27. In high school, one of my good friends used to call me Cinderella because I was always in the house cleaning…everyday.
28. Some people had chore lists, my mother created a chore book, which she copied for my sister and had bound. It detailed how each chore should be done, how frequently it should be done, and approximately how long it should take us to complete it.
29. Growing up, I was always compared to Brandy, especially when Moesha was really big…now I don’t see it as a compliment, in fact it insults me a little.
30. I can’t wait to get married and have kids. I’ve been planning for this since kindergarten.
31. I lived my whole life in anticipation for college because of my favorite show “A Different World”. Needless to say, Howard is not Hilman but I did befriend some pretty amazing people that I absolutely love!!
