five things you need to know (& five you didn't)

Five things you need to know about me:

1.    I was born October 26, 1981 and raised in the Maritimes (predominantly Moncton, New Brunswick). Stop asking my ethnicity. My mother is Acadian and my father is Irish, so I speak French and Mick
2.    I'm still trying to figure out who will recognize (or care) that the 'BAH, BJ' next to my name is in recognition of an arts and a journalism degree. I'm leaving it off my business cards next time round.
3.    Ask me about my horse.
4.    I took up acting because there were too many things I wanted to do and decided it was the only way to kind of experience everything. I took up journalism because I like to tell stories.
5.    My favorite place in the world is the White Mountains in North Conway, New Hampshire. My second favorite place is home.

Five things you didn't need to know about me:

1.    I have been close to death precisely twice; my appendix tried to kill me at age six and I fell down a ravine snowboarding when I was sixteen.

2.    I love thunderstorms. I'll take that dare. I can shoot a gun. I used to pen cattle for sport. Given the opportunity, I'd still ride my horse through your backyard. Take me swimming. I dance when no one's around.

3.    I still consider my highschool sweetheart my 'ex-boyfriend.'

4.    I'm the biggest klutz you'll ever meet. I've been branded 'spatially unaware' more times than I can count. I'm the proverbial bull in a china shop. Don't let me next to your things. I'll break them.

5.    Too bad for you, I'm going to marry a cowboy.
