Random Funny Memory: Soooo… A few years back I went to the Western North Carolina State Fair. I was with a bunch of high school friends and we were having a blast. I won a giant inflatable hammer with “sexy” written on the sides. Now if anyone knows me, they would be aware that I have motion sickness, so fair rides and me don’t get along. I can handle a few rides but I know my limits. I found myself falling into peer pressure and wound up riding one too many rides. I did the unthinkable and as the ride slowed, decided to spit not thinking about the law of gravity. It landed on a women’s head and her husband saw that the culprit was the one with the giant sexy hammer! Long story short the man cussed me out and threatened to break my legs. I got away and when I went to leave the fair I planned to avoid leaving without seeing the guy. He left just as I did but I was lucky he failed to see me. As if things couldn’t get any worse, I ran into them at the Blue Ridge Mall 2 weeks later… ask me what happened and ill tell you the rest!

Random Funny Memory: One day when I was a freshman in high school my older brother came into one of my classes for the day. So I thought it would be funny to flip his backpack, because that’s what kids did back in the day. So I did and he told me he was going to get me back, I didn’t think too much of it. Until the next morning when I woke up, looked in the mirror, and realized that one of my eyebrows was missing.
