VingNation: Welcome to My World

Anyway, I thought I would start my first column off with 25 random things about me so you could all get to know me a little bit better. So my friends, here goes nothing.

1. I was born on August 22nd 1978 after 30 hours of labor where I finally arrived via c-section. I was stubborn from the get go!
2. When I was 3 years old walking home from playschool I got overly excited and ran across the street where I was struck by a huge caddy. I broke my collarbone. The only thing I remember about the whole ordeal is being allowed to chew pink Trident gum and drinking milkshakes out of brightly striped straws.
3. The first 10 years of my life I grew up in The Beach in Toronto ON on Willow Avenue and then on the corner of Willow and Pine Avenue. Then I moved to RR#1 Moffatjust outside of Milton ON.
4. I went to Camp Tanamakoon for 13 summers and am a HUGE advocate for camps of all kinds and what they offer children.
5. I was the shyest kid-- ever. I would not leave my mother's side! It was ridiculous.
6. In Kindergarten I stuck my tongue to the metal jungle gym in the middle of winter. The frost on the bar just looked so appetizing.
7. I am bilingual in French and have a certificate to prove it. Though I understand it well, my speaking abilities are horrendous.
8. I write a to do list everyday of the week with little boxes that I check off once the task is done.
9. My true love and passion is Running. I ran my first half marathon last March and my first Marathon with a fractured pelvis last May. I have begun training for the Mississauga Marathon, which I will run, May 10th 09 in hopes of qualifying for the Boston Marathon.
10. I was a POWER CHEERLEADER through out High School. I actually held a girl over my head on one hand!
11. I cry when I am happy, when I am sad, when I am excitedpretty much any emotion of mine goes hand in hand with tears!
12. I take great pride in my friends and family's accomplishments and LOVE to brag about them.
13. I am extremely high energy and positive.
14. I love fashion and it is very important to me that everything matches in some way.
15. I am a LEO through and throughI love being the center of attention.
16. People love to tease me and as a tween this was really disconcerting to me. Until one day my mom explained to me that the only reason people tease you is because they love you. Now I take teasing as a form of flattery!
17. I believe age is a matter of the mind and you are only as old as you think you are.
18. I have A LOT of favorites but right now my top 10 are (in no particular order): The Banger's (whom you will definitely come to know), Le Petit Castor, Laughing so hard it feels like you have done 1000 sit ups, Gossip Girl, Skinny Jeans, My Family and Friends, Nicknames, Party Making, Running.
19. I love writing Thank You cards. Doing so makes my heart smile.
20. I read my horoscope every single day.
21. I love summer and to me it equals pure unadulterated, happiness.
22. My favorite yoga pose is the dead bugyou lie on your back on the floor, with your arms and legs in the air and laugh your heart out! It's intoxicating.
23. I love to dress in costumes and cannot get enough of themed parties.
24. My favorite colors are yellow and pink.
25. I believe bananas are mood altering and can turn that frown upside down!
