Hello all, my name is Courtney Nelson and I wanted to post a
little bit about myself so you had a sense of who I am when reading my
thoughts.
Instead of writing you multiple paragraphs about what colour
my underwear is, I’m going to list ten facts about myself that I consider
interesting and important to my character!
1.
Animals: I love ANIMALS! Dogs, cats, monkeys,
rabbits, you name it! I have two dogs and a cat whom I would give my unborn
child if need be…. which would just be weird.
2.
I hate Turkey: I went to Europe in 2011 and
stopped in at Turkey while on a cruise. I went into a Mosque, and in order to
respect the religion, I wore long sleeves. This was clearly not enough; as I
walked through the doors, I had five men throwing blankets on me to cover my
bare knees. Since I am a very dramatic person, I freaked out because I was
scared and have never been back to Turkey since.
3.
I’ve been in a horror movie: Not literally, but
close. While in Dominican Republic last year, I contracted an immune disease,
which led to having surgery in the country. I woke up on the surgical table
after being put under, only to find out that I was ALONE. I rolled off the
table with my IV and crawled to the big metal doors that said “Salida.” I
hurled myself through the doors and screamed for my friends. As they came
running down the hall, they were shocked because no one told them I was being
cut open and put under anaesthetic. To be continued….
4.
I’ve owned two residences in the last six years:
I moved out at age 20 and bought a brand new condominium, conveniently behind a
7-11 establishment. After I consumed unimaginable amounts of hot dogs and five
cent candy, I built a house and than sold it within a year because I craved the
poor life of a student.
5.
I am a cougar: Not by official standards but I
am very aware of the fact that I am a “mature” student, compared to others in
my program. At 27 years old, I decided to quit my job at the Provincial
Government and take a leap of faith in order to go back to school. So far, I am
happy with my decision.
6.
I love reality TV: I could sit in front of the
tube with a bag of ketchup chips and continuously watch ridiculously cheesy
reality programs for days. Days’ is an understatement, I could watch for weeks!
If I could quit my job and watch reality TV all day, I’d totally be okay with
eating Mr. Noodle and 99 cent Kraft Dinner meals in order to survive.
7.
I love dying my hair: It makes me feel like a
new woman. Every time I went through a break up in my “younger” years, I would
run to Wal-Mart for a ten-dollar box of L’Oreal hair dye in order to transform
my locks. It had nothing to do with insecurity, I just loved the idea of
starting fresh with a new identity. Out with the old, in with the new! UPDATE:
My hair has stayed blonde since I’ve been in a year and a half relationship.
8.
I have bad luck: Bring on the pity party, I feel
like my bad luck has not only arrived in three’s, but four’s and five’s and so
on. From klutzy accidents to unfortunate incidents, I usually get the bad news
if there is any around. I also have never won a social prize. My best friend
has won 20. Boo.
9.
I love to read: Romance. Romance. Romance. Sigh.
I like to entertain my unrealistic thoughts with ridiculously perfect men and
woman in perfect relationships. I than like to ask my boyfriend to do
ridiculous things like pick me up on dates in a horse drawn carriage, carrying
five bouquets of roses and hiding a litter of kittens under his tuxedo flap.
10. I’m
an only child: If you see me frail my arms and kick my legs in order to get my
way in the middle of class, you may understand where my actions’ stem from.
Kidding. Very cliché, but my parent’s are my best friend’s and I have weekly
dates with my grandparents. Family is important to me because they are all I
have. During my childhood, my father had the unfortunate job of riding with me
on all the rollercoasters at Disney World. I plan to have two children to avoid
this duty.
