Random Facts About Me
My middle name is Renee. Renee is my mom's middle name. My sister's name is Ley from the end of my name, Ashley. She doesn't go by her middle name, and who could blame her.
I love cute things and rainbows, but 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. Yes, maybe that seems a little gross or messed up to some people, but I find it incredibly visually pleasing to my eyes.
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.

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.
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 things about me (for a meme). 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.
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 in July of 2007, 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 computer, 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 I went to Ecpot again during the Christmas of 2008, and I actually got to meet Alice in person this time! *squeals!*
I had a Rainbow colored wedding. (I bet you can't believe that.) 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 .
Pets: I have a one-eyed cat named Pouncy whom I have had all seventeen years of her life thus far. I also have a one-eyed calico telescope goldfish named Freebie . He's named Freebie because he was exactly that- a freebie fish. I saw him at PetSmart. When I questioned about his one eye and expressed interest in purchasing him, I was told that PetSmart isn't allowed to sell animals with missing body parts. They could adopt him out to me though (meaning, I got a free fish). I also have a female betta: Dazzle.
Drives: a white Chevy Blazer with rainbow furry steering wheel cover Cheshire cat floor mats and decorative license plate, my "real" license plate says "I Care About Kids!"
