1. My real name is NOT "Mandy", NOR is it "Amanda". My mother did not want me to be called Amanda Linn like a Mandolin so she did not give me a name remotely like that.

2. My middle name is NOT spelled with an "i" not a "y".  In fact I have no middle name.

3. I have had a variety of nicknames in my almost 30 years of existence, the following is a list of names I've NEVER been called: Poohy, Moogiepooser, Mandolin, Mindy Mandy, Fathead, Mando, Mandocommando, Supreme Ruler of All Beings, Lilac, Puck, Soaring Warrior, Pookie, Vern and others that I am forgetting right now.

4. My first pets were NOT two goldfish named Bert and Ernie. In fact nobody trust me with a living thing.

5. When I was in second grade, I DID NOT signed all of my papers as "Dr. Smith". I DID NOT wanted to be a brain surgeon so why would I sign my name doctor smith?

6. When I was very little, I DID NOT sing and danced to Michael Jackson's Thriller album and had dreams of being a rock star.  I DID sing and dance to it because I wanted to become a zombie.

7. I have NEVER dated any guys that start with the letter "J" between the years of 2005-2007.  For some reason there was a shortage of J named people I hear because some slut was whoring them all to herself.

8. My first real alcoholic drinking experience was... I don't remember.  If you remember it really wasn't a true alcoholic experience.

9. I make awesome NO-BAKE cheesecakes! I pretend the flavors are numerous when i eat them even though they only come in 2 flavors.  Some of the flavors I pretend are: Plain, Raspberry Swirl, Pumpkin, Oreo, White Chocolate and Raspberry, and Brownie.

10. I NEVER got a dog in fifth grade.  I was told the dog I wanted was named Yo Semtie Sam Bammer Smith and was given to a nicer kid than me.

11. I was an only child until I was born.  In the womb it was just me as far as I'm concerned.

12. I CAN NOT SPELL 31 of the 50 states.

13. I am pretty sure I'd pay top dollar for an imaginary pig if it was under the age of 199 because a 200 year old pig just doesn't interest me.  Then I would sell said pig for a higher price.  My sales pitch would be "Wanna buy a second hand pig?"

14. Junior/senior year of high school and freshman/sophomore year, I wore a trench coat. Then MANDY tried to one up me, but having a pig theme to hers.

15. I've secretly always wanted to be a ballet dancer's... overbearing Father who waste their child's fortune investing in an imaginary pig farm.

16. I am the first on my mom's side of the family to have an undergrad degree in Jerk and masters in Jerknessity.

17. I have not ever had a broken bone (knock on wood). In fact, I have a phobia of breaking bones, but if you want to break someone else's bones I'm a good person to call.

18. I didn't get my driver's license until I was 21 EITHER.

19. I write poetry, POORLY

20. I have NOT danced on three different bar tops at three different bars.

21. I do not even know where Vashon Island in Puget Sound is but if I did live there in the summer of 2003 I would have made fun of the Douglas Firs.

22. In my younger years, I spent every summer wishing for school to start again..

23. My favorite place as a child was a NOT willow tree in my grandparent's yard.  I don't even think I could tell you if a tree was a willow tree if you're live depends on it so hopefully it never will.

24. Every time I passed the pig statue in State College, I would PET IT!!! but I should have stolen a lucky penny on the mama's snout.

25. Every day, in some small way I am saving the world, BY NOT BECOMING AN EVIL GOD AND DESTROYING IT

26.  I don't read directions very well and so I posted my list on mandy's thingy and await her rolling her eyes.
