I got tagged over on Facebook for a "25 Random Things About Me," so I thought I would respond here and tag all of our readers for whoever want to weigh in in the comment section are welcome to...and the random thing I think is the most clever...well, I'll send you a copy of any one YA book that you'd like from one of our Buzz Girls.
Here we go...
- I've lived in four (4) states: Massachusetts, Virginia, Texas, Alabama

- I think bean sprouts are the creepiest food there is.

Haha, I love finding out about people in these 25-things memes.
A random thing about me:
I've lifted and carried my boyfriend on my shoulders when we performed as a Chinese lion for our kung fu teacher's gallery opening. Everyone assumed it was the other way around.
I think leftover Chinese and Mexican food is a legit breakfast even if there is no time to heat it up.
In college I went backpacking in Spain on part of El Camino de Santiago. It was so rainy and windy that one day my pancho completely shredded in the rain. All my clothes on me and in my backpack were soaked (and did not completely dry for the rest of the trip)!
Can you tell me how you've met 3 US presidents please!
LOL...welllllllll Simone...
When I was in college and worked in the SGA, I was among a group that was chosen to meet President Ford. I introduced myself, shook his hand and he said, "Nice to meet you Molly" and I said, "No sir, Mr. President. It's Marley."
When I interned in DC, I got to go to a rally for President Reagan at Andrew's Air Force Base. I didn't get to "meet" him...but I got to shake his hand, which was pretty cool.
I got to shake President Bush the Elder's hand outside the House chamber after his first State of the Union in 1989.
Ohhhh...and I met Bill Clinton three times when he was campaigning for President, but not when he was ACTUALLY president...so I guess you could say I've met four! = )
Random thing about me:
In the fifth grade I dressed up like Tina Turner to compete in a womanless beauty review. The winner earned 10 extra points in the classof their choice.
Thanks to Tina I passed fifth grade math.
lol, I just did this on my facebook.
and i did a '100 facts' one on my livejournal.
ngl, i like talking about myself. lol.
my random fact:
Well, I've always wanted to be a doctor. My life has basically revolved around the medical field.
So, when I was five, my family was moving from California to a city called Madison.
But I always thought my parents were saying 'medicine' rather than 'Madison', so I thought we were moving into a hospital or something. I was pretty excited, and so confused when the moving van pulled up to a house rather than a hospital.
