I Didn't Play With Barbies And Other Reasons I'm Not Cool

I didn't play with Barbies. Or any of those dolls that allow you to give them makeovers with play makeup or by cutting their hair. As a result, I'm cosmetically challenged and have suffered a series of bad haircuts. These are my confessions.

Little Known Facts About Me

Someone once told me I was an enigma. Thats no longer the case now that I reveal personal information about myself on the internet. Nevertheless, I'm including all of the embarassing things I've done and all of my guilty pleasures just to make you feel better about yourselves.

1) I idolize pre-Kabbalah Madonna. I have her "Immaculate Collection" CD and even dressed like her for Halloween. I get really annoyed when people sing her songs wrong. I'm lookin' at you, Spears.
2) My favorite 80's song is "Like A Prayer" by none other than Madonna although "With Or Without You" by U2, comes in at a close second.
3) I have a deep love for Mandy Moore. I've seen every Mandy Moore movie to date and even listen to some of her music. Seriously. I'm Mandy Moore's bitch.
4) I'm named after both my mom and dad. I used to resent them for giving me the most "redneck" name they could possibly conjure up. But then I heard Bruce Springsteen's "Bobbie Jean" and it wasn't so bad.
5) I was a huge X- files fan from 5th grade and throughout junior high, complete with alien memorabilia. You know that "I Want To Believe" poster Mulder had? I still want that.
6) When I was little I wanted to be a figure skater and dreamt about meeting Oksana Baul.
7) If my plans to be a journalist don't work out, I want to be a Kindergarten teacher.
8) I can do kickass impressions of Cher and Alanis Morissette.
9) I almost got a concussion when I was seven after I got hit in the head with a large piece of farm equipment that, ironically, I can't remember the name of now. Shut up. It didn't cause permanent damage.
10) I tend to cry at happy things more often than sad.
11) Every so often I become obsessed with something new in entertainment. Currently its cult tv shows.
12) I talk to (and about) myself. A lot.
13) I despise talking on the phone.
14) I am deathly afraid of birds.
15) Most of my friends wouldn't believe me, but I grew up extremely shy. The greater majority of my relatives didn't hear me speak until I was in the latter stages of elementary school. I'm still very shy around a lot of people.
16) This week, my favorite song is "Trouble Sleeping" by the Perishers.
17) I take that back. Its "We Used To Be Friends" by the Dandy Warhols.
18) I'm extremely indecisive.
19) I heart crossword puzzles.
20) I love to watch old episodes of Match Game on Game Show Network. Especially if Brett Somers is on it.

Now you can tell me some things about yourself. Include your favorite 80's songs if you wish. I want responses, dammit.
