Six Weird Things About Me

I was tagged by Melissa of Comotized.com with the duty of writing out a list of six weird things about me. I guess there’s probably several weird things about me, but to me they aren’t weird. They’re normal. :blush: Anyway, here’s my attempt to create this list.
1. I met my husband on the internet. This is becoming more common these days, of course, but usually when people find out I met my Canadian husband online, they seem to find it a bit fascinating and a little bit more weird. We actually met online in a Yahoo group sort of. I will not reveal the topic of that Yahoo Group. I must keep some level of dignity. 
2. I love, LOVE horribly gory movies. My parents can’t believe how much gore I like. I’ve only gotten that way in the past year or two probably. I love when limbs get hacked off and people eat other people and blood and skin fall off people. I don’t really know why. I guess because I get all entranced by it, like :stunned: . Yes, maybe that seems a little gross or messed up to some people, but I find it incredibly visually pleasing to my eyes.
3. I can burp the alphabet. I can pretty much burp on command. I didn’t share this talent with my husband until recently. I sort of forgot about it to be honest. Anyway, it’s pretty funny and usually gives people a laugh. I can burp lots of things, not just the alphabet. The average person who knows me might not expect that.
4. I can bark like various dogs. Apparently, my husband didn’t know of this weird talent of mine until minutes ago. I asked him to help me think of weird thingd about me. I told him I could bark like a dog. So then I did. Several times. My cat woke up and seemed a little freaked out.
5. I once received a phone call from Alice. You know, Alice in Wonderland. Okay, so I am hugely a fan/obsessed with Alice in Wonderland. Mostly it’s the Disney Alice stuff because that’s what you can find merchandise of the most. I love that Cheshire Cat! Anyway, I have a HUGE collection of Alice stuff. Well, when Colin and I went on our honeymoon last year (in July), I was really hoping to see Alice in the UK pavilion at Epcot in Florida. Well, she wasn’t there. Mary Poppins was though, and I love her too! So anyway, I bought all kinds of neat Alice stuff while in Florida and had my picture taken with Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Anyway, to make a long story short, I didn’t get to meet Alice. 
However, my parents and sister went to Florida in October, and they went to Epcot for the first time. (I bought my parents tickets as an anniversary gift.) I told them to look for Alice for me. Well, one day, sitting at home on the comptuer, I get a phone call from my mom. She was at Epcot and said she got to see Alice. I was like :ooh: and very jealous. Well, we said bye. Next thing I know, my phone rang again.
Person on phone: “Hello Ashley?”
Me: Hello??
Person: “Hi! This is Alice. Alice in Wonderland.”
Me: “Oh, hi!” :kiss:
Alice: “How are you?”
Me: “I’m fine, how’re you?”
Alice: “Oh good, I’m just with your mom here, and she told me that you are a big fan. She wanted me to call you and say hi.”
Me: “Oh, I see!”
Alice: “Alright then, here’s your mom. Nice talking to you. Goodbye.”
Me: “Bye!”
So yeah! I got to talk to Alice on the phone. And, my parents also got to meet the Mad Hatter. They got me his and Alice’s autograph too. 
6. I had a Rainbow colored wedding. (I bet you can’t believe that. :tongue: ) So yeah, my wedding was totally colorful. Colin and I made cute party favors and trading cards to give our guests. There were rainbow lights, leis, bubbles, and lots of cute whales. You can see photos and stuff at our website, Rainbow Wedding.
So, that’s it. Six “weird” things about me. Now, since I was tagged, you know what that means! I have to tag people now! I would like to take this opportunity to tag Aimee, Jenn, and Katee.

-
The psrty favors from your wedding are so fun! I love your site.
-
People do tend to shun on meeting people on the internet. But what can they really say since you guys are already married? LOL. So nah, I don’t find that weird at all. Now if that’s your ONLY way to meet your mate, then yeah, I find that to be a bit disturbing.
When did you guys meet and when did you get married? :content:
-
You wedding looked so awesome!! I think the rainbow really worked well! And I think that is so cool that you got to talk to Alice!! My favorite part of Disneyland is getting my picture taken with all the characters.

1. i met my boyfriend on the internet too, we played the same mmorpg together lol but we didn’t like each other until our group had an EB. that’s when we started dating.
2. oooh, i love gore too! but i’d rather see them live. it’s easy to see the “faki-ness” of movies. looking at surgeries thrills me to no end (nursing student here)
3. same here! it’s one thing my friends can’t do. i have a talent, omg!
4. i can also bark hahaha i think my german shepherd understands me.
5. i was never a fan of alice, and i don’t think i ever will be. i just don’t like her and mary poppins. i don’t know why!
6. aww, that’s nice! i want my wedding to be goth-inspaired with all black clothes. lol kidding! :content: -

-
That list up there was so fun to read! You’re really interesting (: Especially the part about receiving the call from Alice in Wonderland.

I guess meeting people online these days is common. I indirectly met my partner online. I joined a Supra email group and went to one of their meets. I actually had my eye on some other cutie there I was never introduced to. Jon bewildered me by introducing me to everyone at once. I did not notice my soon to be partner at all. A while later I posted on that same list asking about prices for cars. Llew (partner) then offered to help me go car shopping, so took him up on it. When I next met him, I couldn’t believe I didn’t notice him! He noticed me apparently, but was too shy to actually come up to me.
I also love gory movies. Nothing wrong with a bit of gore! Fortunately so does Llew, I was always scrabbling to find someone to watch horrors with me, now I’ve got someone who does!
-
omg. I would LOVE to have a rainbow wedding :kiss: It would be awesome. Meeting people online these days is very common, I’ve had a boyfriend that i’ve met online, I believe as long as your smart about it, you will be fine
-
lol @ #2 - Will makes me watch scary movies with him all the time, so I’ve grown to like them XD Cabin Fever is a classic… esp. the HILARIOUS ending!! Have you seen Grindhouse yet??
-
Argh, I can’t stand gore and stuff o__o;! It scares the hell out of me XD. I love Alice In Wonderland too. She rocks :D.
-
Your a glore fan, I’m one to an extent. I kind of enjoyed the first hills have eyes.
-
Lol, well that’s great that u met your love on the net- I can see that happening a lot more now days too. I had two best friend who could have gotten married if they didn’t have probs with the long distance and it ended badly too but they were so great together that first year or so…
Aww, I got a phone call like that from Mickey Mouse when I was little, my dad swore it was really him and still does to this day {silly dad}. I’m gonna go check out the rest of your site. Have a nice day- really cute layout
-
ahahim so jealous that alice in wonder land called you :tongue:
-
I totally agree with the gorey films - I LOVE them! =) The gorier the better. I recommend “braindead” for totally pointless gore. It’s directed by Peter Jackson pre-King Kong/LotR days and they used something like 300 pints of fake blood in the last scene alone.
You can bark like a dog? I demand you to record it and post it up here for us all to download and guffaw lots at -
And happy almost-a-year wedding anniversary (yes, I’ve been taking a look around here).
-
@ Bubs: I haven’t seen Grindhouse yet, ooh, I’ll have to check it out.
@ Kelly: Record my barking? Hmmm….maybe.
@ Jenn: I thought you would reply! That’s why I tagged you!@ Everyone else: Thanks for all the comments! Yay for some of you liking Alice and gore like me.
Glad I entertained some of you. -
[...] Oh, and both Karin and Jessica tagged me to post a list of seven facts about myself. I was already tagged before with that same topic (only it was six things). Since I didn’t have time to make a new list of seven things, here is a link to my previous answers. [...]
-
[...] going to do it, but then decided not to because I already did a similar meme before where I listed six weird things about me, but now I’ve decided to give it a go. I’m not going to elaboate too much on these [...]
