Things you may not know about me

You may be asking yourself 'do I really need to know more weird things about Megan?' and the answer is probably no, but while you are here, you might as well read it. Who knows you may realize something about your self - doubtful, but you never know.


I'm afraid of yogurt - seriously. I don't think it's going to kill me, but the smell is so awful is makes me throw up, so now when I see yogurt I practically run the other way. I once fell backwards out of a chair when someone thought putting it near me would be funny - it wasn't.

I worked at Starbucks, but I have never had a whole cup of coffee. The most I've ever had is a few sips, maybe three at the very most. I hate the stuff and have never really wanted to acquire the taste for it. I love my Diet Coke and I will go far out of my way to get one if need be. The coffee phenomenon is totally beyond me.

My dad worked out of town so much when I was a kid that when I was 8 I sat my mom down and told her that dad must be having an affair. I said that he was always going 'away on business' and that when ever I called him a Woman (his secretary) would answer! Mom laughed at me and told me dad would never have an affair - which I get now, but at 8 I was convinced and didn't want to talk to him. It's funny now because my parents are super devoted and my dad loves my mom more than anything on Earth - oops, sorry dad.

On the subject of my dad - he has the worst ADD of anyone I've ever met. It drives my mom and me crazy. If we're eating dinner and talking about traffic then I mention I need to have major surgery, my dad will look out the window and in the middle of my sentence go 'You know the traffic here really does suck.' My mom always says 'Shiny Balls' - it means that dad got distracted by something and may never come back to the conversation.

As a kid I thought that ghosts and aliens wouldn't know I was in bed if the covers were all the way over my head, so I slept all the way under my blanket every night for more than a decade. I thought they would just think that my bed was lumpy..... oh I marvel at how weird I was sometimes.....

I've only been grounded twice. The first time I was grounded for something that I actually did not do. The second time I did something really dumb and had to go to the hospital in an ambulance - but I wasn't grounded for that. My mom screamed at me when I got released and said I was grounded for 3 months for 'almost dying' - she said that she would have been locked in an asylum if I'd died so I couldn't watch anymore TV. Seriously.


During a hospital rotation for Health Occupations class I had to work at a funeral home for 2 weeks. I had never seen a dead person before. I made it through the 2 hours and drove back to school for the rest of my day. I walked into AP Lit and passed out onto the floor. The funeral home let me stay in the office and fold letters for the next 9 days.

My favorite assignment for Health Occupations was at the Kansas City School for Boys. It's a program for psychologically disturbed or abused boys. They live there and the classes are really small, 3 or 4 per teacher. I loved it so much I went for 2 sessions, so I stayed for 6 weeks. I helped one boy more than the others because he listened to me, which was new for him. He was really sweet, about 8 years old. My last week he wasn't there so I asked the teacher where he was. She said that yesterday after I had told him it was my last week he freaked out and tried to attack his therapist. Turns out he was there for stabbing a boy in his 1st grade class. Two other girls in my class had similar things happen there, I can't figure out why they kept letting high school girls in, but I guess they needed the help.

There are about a thousand other things I'm sure, but that's all I've got for now. If you are still reading, good for you - you now know some odd things about me. Yay
