Tell me about it Tuesday: The Facts of Me

Helene in Between


So this is a two-fer. I am hosting Tell Me About it Tuesday but I couldn't NOT link up to my lover Whitney's one day link up: The Facts of Me!

So here are some facts about me you probably didn't want or even to care to know, but here it goes anyway:
-I hate driving.
I would really prefer a chauffeur  I have never been a good driver. When I started driving at 16 I got in a wreck about 3 months after. And I have been in quite a few since. I prefer to be in the passenger seat dancing.
First car purchase, 2011, knock on wood for no wrecks
-My dream is to run my own business.
I just don't think I should work for "the man." Plus I have lots of ideas. I have tried to start a business a few different times but haven't found the perfect thing yet...maybe one day.

-Etta James and Ray Charles are my favorite singers of all time. 
I love me some modern music (especially electronic dance music) but play me "At Last" or "Night Time is the Right Time" and I will instantly be in a good mood, grab a spoon (or any object that can be used as a microphone), and start singing. 

-I have a bald spot on my head.
It on the right on the front part of my head above my ear. I don't have a birthmark so they think this might be a birth mark. You can't really see it but if I pull my hair up the wrong way it's there.

-I am way too loud. 
I always got in trouble in school for talking and being obnoxious. 
She get it from her mama.

-I love it or hate it.
I am a VERY passionate person. And I tend to feel very strongly about well... everything. It makes for some heated discussions with my husband and friends. 

Feel free to link up with both!

I'm doing my first "link-up" tomorrow (I know, where have I been?! Obviously not with the cool bloggers.) Anyway, I'll probably do it wrong so bare with me.

Etta James is just pure beauty!! I love her. I have always loved jazz singers. My favorite is Ella Fitzgerald. Her voice is like butter!!

The following day of being able to drive at 16 I got in a wreck.. fml Had to drive around for a year with a bashed in drivers side door. Imagine crawling in and out of the passenger side as a stoner 16/17 year old.. Those were the days, man. haha

Oh my gosh. I am SO loud. In middle school, I think I spent half of my days in the hallway because my teachers did not appreciate my voice carrying throughout their classroom. And a peer once famously told me "Alex, you're like a light house, loud and bright"

You should totally post a pic of that beauty mark. :) So we know what you are talking about!
I'm with you. Sooo passionate. I have a passionate opinion about most things! I'm sure that's one of the reasons your husband and friends love you though. :)

I'd love a driver. Miles, bring the car around. Thank you darling.

I used to be much more love it/hate it than I am now.

Alexa said... Reply To This Comment

Love or hate it. Girl, I feelz ya! But I like to call it "passionate" too - just sounds better :)

Dancing in the passenger seat is way more fun, obvi. I need to get myself a driver... it would be a good investment!

Faith Bowyer said... Reply To This Comment

Etta James has one of the best voices, ever. Love love love.
I dance a lot - while I drive. Clearly I could be your chauffeur and we could have dance parties together :)

I am the same way about driving! If I can find any excuse for someone else to drive, I totally will.

I truly believe some people SHOULD NEVER drive. I'm one of those people. I have totaled 3 cars, and been in four wrecks. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. I just really want a driver.

In 7th grade my social studies teacher wrote on my report card "Talks loudly & excessively in class" My mom told me to tell her it was because my dad is deaf in one ear so we've always had to compensate.

Which is technically true but I'm also just loud.

Also, I do not understand people who are not CRAZY IN LOVE with something or COMPLETELY DESPISING something. They must live such boring lives.

Thanks for the link-up par-tay!

Passionate is good! It gives us something to stand for.. At least that's how I look at it ;)

Chelsea Davis said... Reply To This Comment

Gotta love Etta James! You have a fun blog! And what a fun way to get to know people! Thanks for hosting

Allison said... Reply To This Comment

Love this post! I am also a very passionate person... Good or bad!!! I know exactly what you mean. I always tell my husband, "Well at least you always know where you stand with me, and how I feel about everything!" I think it's a good thing :)

xoxo

OK - and the driver would be like having a two-fer. you wouldn't have to drive and then you would constantly have a designated driver so let the drinking abound!

Rachel said... Reply To This Comment

For some reason I like driving because it calms me... hehe. And I'd also love to start my own business. Sigh. Someday.

Whitney Ellen said... Reply To This Comment

I really despise driving. Also, I am so loud. I embarrass most people because of it. Ooops.

You know what this means? We'd be such a blasty blast together.

Sara said... Reply To This Comment

I always get in trouble for being too loud, I seriously just can't whisper to save my life haha.

Sar said... Reply To This Comment

I'm a movie talker. Not loud, so I guess I don't get "in trouble," but I just like to add my comments. That's probably annoying huh?! ;)

I love that you're a passionate person! Means you're going through life feeling things. LOVE that!

I absolutely hearing you about wanting your own business. I despise working for other companies and other people. Not all places were bad. Only two of the places that I worked were awesome. The others, not so much! I just opened up my own business, and now I am concentrating on that.

I don't mind driving. I'll drive you anywhere, doll!

I have a bald spot too! Kinda, when I put my hair up. I usually move my hair around so you can't see it though.

Melanie said... Reply To This Comment
