Silly Jilly Factules

1. I was born December 22, 1978. My mom constantly forgets what year I was born. Also, my mom refused to stop her Christmas shopping when her water broke, and had to be bodily forced to the hospital by my godmother.

2. I was supposed to be a boy. See, my mom had thought throughout the pregnancy that I was going to be male, so they had picked out Ryan Patrick as a name. Jillian Marie came from my Grandma McShea.

3. When I was 12 years old, I was stung by a Portuguese man o�war. It was in August, and they are not in season in Ft. Lauderdale until November. Figures they would find me. I still have the scars.

4. I have this strange habit of rating restaurants by how good their clam chowder is and whether or not they have lemonade.

5. I was once told I looked like a chipmunk. I still believe that I have chipmunk cheeks, but can�t seem to find the stripe down my back.

6. Music is the one thing I would be unable to live without. Take away my TV, hide my phone, but don�t deprive me of background music.

7. I once met the band Garbage. I cried and couldn�t actually say more that �OhmyGod, I love you.� To Shirley Manson, but she was cool. I still have the autographed CD book.

8. My biggest excess in spending would have to be clothing for the LARP. I tend to buy fabulous things I can only wear once, but byGod, do I look good in them. At least I think I do.

9. I tend to get into these moods where I feel totally useless, and wish I could be more productive.

10. I have an over-whelming fear of driving. I keep trying to learn, but get behind the wheel and start shaking.

12. I also hate heights. I hate them so badly, that even when people pick me up, I still react like I am being dangled from the edge of a building.

13. High crowd situations make me really tense. I keep feeling as though I am going to get totally separated from my friends and never find them again.

14. I make up my own words, and have my own little language.

15. When I was little, about 3 or 4, I used to imagine a whole city of imaginary people upstairs in my Nanny and Pampy�s old house.

16. I used to really want to be a singer, but I once had a music teacher who said I was a bad soprano. I guess it�s better that I prefer alto then.

17. My favorite cartoon character is Wakko Warner, although I can do a pretty good imitation of Dot.

18. I currently have 3 Cthlu stuffed animals, and want more. This scared one person.
