Me - Ashley

Welcome to Rainbow Stuff, cyberhome of... well... me! I'm Ashley - a 25 year old elementary school first grade teacher from Kentucky. I met my husband online and I love him, strawberry smoothies and my one-eyed cat, Pouncy. This is my blog, personal website, and general collection of my bits of randomness. Rainbows rule. More?

Six Weird Things About Me

Friday, June 8th, 2007

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. :wink:
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. :D
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.




Why I Blog

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

I was tagged by Bubs. (I’ve never been tagged before! Ah!)

I started blogging back in the spring of 2001. I had a blog I wrote in daily (sometimes more than once) from about 2001 - 2003 (or 4). For awhile, I went blogless. Eventually I picked my LiveJournal back up but didn’t blog faithfully. That was a stressful time in my life. I was teaching in Lexington, having a miserable time.

I’ve only been using WordPress since March. So far, I’m loving everything about it!

So, why do I blog? Well, for a variety of reasons I guess. It’s personally satisfying. It’s fun. Relaxing. A good way to keep my online friends aware of what’s going on in my life.

And I’d like to tag…. Jenn, Jessica, and Arien. :D
