Who I am

20 things about me that might surprise you. (then again…they might not)

1. I have never attended a public school. (Wait, I did take one college course at a junior college)
2. I am quite messy.
3. I don’t own any make-up.
4. I own and wear lots of skirts.
5. I (and my family) were homeless on more than one occasion when I was a child.
6. I have “internet friends” Okay, that doesn’t suprise you, since if you are reading this, you probably are an internet friend. :) Maybe it’s more suprising that I have real life friends.
7. I have a kajillion fillings. Maybe not a kajillion. But I’ve got a mouth full of metal. Horrible teeth, yet I think my best feature is my smile.
8. I’m not a very good manager because I am not very good at telling people what to do. I guess I feel like they have all worked there long enough that they should know what to do without me telling them. (But I was such a bossy kid.)
9. I have never kissed a guy.
10. I am in love.
11. I have been naked in public.
12. I am kind of a picky eater.
13. I don’t have my ears pierced.
14. I have read Shadow of the Almighty at least 20 times.
15. I don’t have a best friend.
16. I have 5 goldfish and half of a cat.
17. The only t.v. in my house is a 10″ black and white set that my friend got for free on the side of the road.
18. My family life growing up was “highly dysfunctional”
19. I listen to country music quite a bit.
20. My kitchen is decorated with strawberries.

Wow. That was harder than I thought it would be. I haven’t hidden much from my internet friends, apparently. I am an open book.

So, did any of that surprise you?

One thing in that list is not true. Which do you think it is?

    #11 is the lie. :)

  2. Geof F. Morris Says:

    #2 was a surprise.
    #4 surprises me, as I’ve never seen you in one.
    #7, well, I do think you have a winning smile.
    #10 really shocks me.

    And Steve, I think #16 is the lie.

  3. Chuck Says:

    Rhonda .. since you are a Christian, #15 is not true. Jesus truly is your best friend indeed. :)

  4. Susan Says:

    I’m torn between #10 and #12 as the lies… I’m not sure any of them especially shock me, though, even if either one of those is true :). Ooh, wait, maybe #15 is the lie… although I think maybe you’d count your sister as your best friend? Maybe not…

  5. alisa Says:

    #8 - SO ME! :) I would of written word for word that.
    #2 - only one that suprised me.

  6. Kari Says:

    I think, if 12 is true, it’s the only one that surprised me. Like Susan, though, I wasn’t sure what counted as a best friend.

  7. mb Says:

    I say #10 although I’m not sure how you have half of a cat. :P

  8. rhonda Says:

    he he. :) This is fun.

  9. _steve Says:

    Geof, I don’t think it’s #16 is the lie; I think she’s speaking metaphorically referring to dual-ownership, i.e. she and her sister own a cat.

  10. david Says:

    i was here and read this…just so you know.

  11. scott Says:

    i’m with david. just wanted to let you know i was here and read this.

    also, i don’t believe #20, i think the kitchen is decorated in blues and greens.

  12. rhonda Says:

    David, you are no fun. :)

  13. Geof F. Morris Says:

    Will we get the answer to which is the lie, Rhonda, or are you too bored to tell us? ;)

  14. rhonda Says:

    13

  15. Geof F. Morris Says:

    So, none of us are right. AWESOME.

  16. rhonda Says:

    ha ha. I really did surprise you :)
