Fun Facts About Vicki

- I can't read lips to save my life

- I don't like black jelly beans

- I have a strange obsession with office supplies

- Okra is my favorite vegetable (although cucumbers are a close second)

- I'm allergic to a specific type of mango

- I enjoy too much being called "ma'am" or "lady" or "miss" when it's completely sincere

- I tend to be a realist, even to the point of cynicism 

- Summer rain is one of my most favorite things

- Pickles are fantastic at any time of day

- I have a hard time writing "happily ever after's" because they are extremely unrealistic to me

- Curiosity almost killed me as a child (this is supposed to make you ask questions for a reason...)

- My favorite words are licentious, lugubrious, nibble, rendezvous, and defenestration
- I can stay awake for an obscene length of time, but don't ever ask me to wake up early
- I don't have many strong opinions. I like to think of myself very neutral and indifferent
- Having chapped lips and no chap stick nearby is one of the worst things
- The word "puberty" bothers me when said aloud
- I tend to play with my earrings when I'm pondering something (this has led to a lot of earring backs going missing)
- I make a lot of my own jewelry
- I have a difficult time saying no, even when my instincts/internal logic are screaming it
- I have written five full-length novels to date, one of which is a Supernatural fanfiction (and one of which is self-published on Amazon - it's not my best, but it's the first one I wrote so it's my baby)
- I don't like talking about myself much (my blog is an exception) so I tend to be quieter or snarky when pushed to converse
- It is a true fact in my mind that everyone will fail me at many points in my life, so I always hope for the best but plan for the worst. That way if I'm let down it's no big deal and if it actually goes as planned, it's more of a bonus than an expectation to be filled
- I have five piercings to date and I don't plan on getting any more
- I am deathly afraid of letting people down. I grew up trying to be perfect; the word "disappointed" is one of the worst I will ever hear when addressed to me
- I lived in Peru for two and a half years
- Born in Michigan (raised for the most part in Virginia)
- For the most part, I despise country music (except for Shania Twain - I grew up listening to her so a lot of sentiment is woven into many of her songs)
- If you bring me Chex Mix, tomato soup, or chocolate, you earn some gold stars
- Even if you remember all of the above facts, you still don't really know me. So ask. Hang out. I've got lots of stories to tell, although I'll keep most of them to myself.
