get to know me.

A sorority sister of mine had this on her blog, domestically disabled. Considering how personal my blogs are, you may as well know even MORE about me, so I've borrowed it with a few minor changes.  Here it goes.

1.       What do your friends call you?

usually just Ash or Ashley, but it melts my heart when they call me Griffy.  I love my nickname.  In high school, I had a friend who just started calling me it... and it stuck.  The best part is when people call me it who I didn't know knew my nickname... it makes me feel like they're paying attention. (its not that hard to notice since its in my twitter and fb name anyway.)

2.       If you couldn't shave your legs or wax your eyebrows for the rest of your life, which would you choose?

I have to shave every time I am in the shower, even if I did earlier in the morning. I could probably go days it's just an obsessive habit.

3.       Name a talent you have

apparently, writing.

4.       If you could meet one person, living or dead, who would it be?
I would love to meet Princess Diana and Ryan Reynolds.  Princess Di seems incredible and I think I would laugh the entire time I was with RR, even if I never saw him again.

5.       If you had to go on a reality TV or game show, which one would you choose?

I signed up for Wheel of Fortune over four years ago, and I'm waiting for my invite.  I also think that if my life was videotaped, the world would get a pretty good laugh.

6.       If you were president, what's one law you would make?

This is the hardest question ever.  Can I make a LOT of laws?  I agree w/ Freaney's law... MYOB.

7.       What's your favorite smell? 

steak on its way to my table at Angelo's restaurant in myrtle beach, sc.

8.       You have a spicy piece of gossip,  who's the first person you tell? 

my friend samantha and I had weekly date nights up until her recent move to the shore... I'm considering using face time / skyping for the first time.

9.       What's your favorite thing about yourself?

my honesty.  its my best and worst quality.

10.  what's your favorite holiday?

Christmas, because I love making other people happy with presents.  And visiting everyone's houses.  

11. What did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be an interior decorator.  Sometimes I still do.  

11 random things about me that you should know: 

• I am freakishly obessed with ABC Family's Pretty Little Liars.  I will probbaly NOT hang out with you on a Tuesday night because it's my "me time."  For that hour, I text my little cousin who is a high school senior an assortment of "what the FUCK,"  "i hate that bitch," "I JUST SCREAMED," "I wish I could smack that hoe" messages.  It's intense.
  
  
  

  

  
  

  
  
• I love one-of-a-kind jewelry.  My grandmother had a pair of clip-on earrings that were passed on to my mother.  They've sat in a safe deposit box for years since my mom didn't want a couple g's to fall on the ground while she was out... so we just turned them into matching rings.  

I got the ring sized for my left ring finger, because I don't think I will ever have a piece of jewelry that "belongs there."

• As much as I enjoy baking for others and sharing my delicious treats, my motives are quite selfish.  Really, I just wanted cake batter for dinner and I shared whatever was left with you. 
  
  
  

  

  
  

• I absolutely hate my boobs.  When I lose weight they get smaller and it makes me feel so much better about myself.  Not to mention, only having three styles that are abvailable in your size in-store at Victoria's Secret would piss you off, too.

• I've recently started watching the show LOST with my roommate.  He watched it when it was on TV and I never understood why, but now I am hooked.  We are never home at the same time but if we are, I beg him to watch the DVDs with me.  We are currently on season two and he says the next couple episodes are complete mind-fucks.

•  I am really good at thank-you cards and making sure I write in a timely manner.  It actually ANNOYS me that some people don't think it's proper to send them.  This is why I wanted to be (and was elected) corresponding secretary for my sorority.  

• My favorite albums in no particular order:  Lil Wayne: No Ceilings Mix Tape, Alanis Morissette:  Jagged Little Pill, Weezer:  The Blue Album, Sublime:  Sublime; Taylor Swift: Speak Now 

• Last September, my then-boyfriend woke up and said he wanted to get a puppy.  I ended up with Dexter and I am so happy I have this little nugget to come home to every day.  I probably talk to him a little more than a healthy dose, and if I date anyone, I may still let Dexter in the bed... but he and my roommate are my favorite boys, and neither of them will ever be my boyfriend.  Looks like I'm screwed.

• I like to ask people what nationality they think I am.  (when they're discussing nationalities, not out of the blue.)  I was adopted at birth and  don't know anything about my heritage.  I did find papers in my parents lock box when I was in high school that said my biological parents names where Nicole Whalen and David Pulzer.  I'm spelling his name wrong, but all the stuff I had about them burned down in the fire.  I used to actively search for them, but right now I'm content.  Also, I want to be Italian.  If you say you think I am, I will love you. It's really that simple.

• I like getting dolled up as much as the next girl, but I grew up in this small town where everyone (besides me) was from the city.  So some of the so-called style rubbed off on me.  The first pair of sneakers I purchased since the fire say it all.

• Every day I try to ask myself WWAJD... what would AJ do?  A great friend of mine passed away in 2003 and he lived lift to its fullest because he knew it would be short.  AJ never turned down a good time or missed out on something because it was risky.  If I have half the fun in my life as AJ did in his short years, I'll die a happy woman.

keeping it simple, I'll leave the questions Whitney had for you to use, too!
