Some folks are going to herniate laughing at my scary @$$, but oh well.....
1- I HATE/FEAR/LOATHE/DREAD HIGHWAY DRIVING-----DO ANYTHING TO AVOID IT, TAKES SERVICE ROADS OUT THE @$$!!! Drivers are inconsiderate as hell in TX though, I don't want to go careening into a concrete wall w/ the kids just b/c some @$$hole missed their exit and they want to fly across 4 lanes in front of me to double back. Hubby does that kind of driving, I do the bills/books/mail----great trade-off if you ask me!!!
2- I could get lost in a shoebox----I have to go somewhere a handful of times to get the hand of it, and if there's construction or a detour, I WILL FLIP!!! HATE THAT $H*T!!! I got tested and have math issues, so at least I know it ain't deliberate.
3-If there is a bee/wasp/hornet buzzing around, I will duck/dodge/run/cross the street; I was stung in the left eye by a bee when I was about 4 years old and trust me, it wasn't pretty----I remember running in, taking my hand off my eye and my mother screaming her head off (it was hella swollen). The next thing I remember was waking up and Daddy sitting next to me with an ice pack over my eye----Momma said he didn't even go to work that day, he wanted to make sure I didn't lose my sight.
4- I will not tweeze/pluck/shape my eyebrows; the handful of times that 'pros' have done this, I look jacked for MONTHS (Its not like I have caterpillars any d@mn way, but what do I know)!!! All I do it brush the hairs in place and keep it moving, it's just not that serious to me. So, whenever I get a pedicure, and someone asks me do I want to get my brows done, I ask is it free, which usually shuts them the hell up.
5-I AM TERRIFED of showing up to cover a show/chat with an artist and not being prepared: I read how Phil Collins (waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day) was so agast at a reporter's ignorance about who Phillip Bailey was (when their 'Easy Lover' song came out) that he created a really f***ed up story about he 'discovered' Phillip singing as he filled his car up at a local gas station, AND THE DUMB-@$$ PRINTED IT W/OUT FACT-CHECKING/CROSS-REFERENCING (EW&F, HELLO??!!??)!!! And who can forget the TV show that contacted Bob Marley's widow asking for an interview a couple of years ago, UNAWARE THAT HE DIED IN 1981??!!?? I NEVER want to get put on blast like that, never, ever, EVER----THAT IS JUST ABOUT MY WORST NIGHTMARE!!! So trust me, when I do interviews in person or over the phone, I COME CORRECT!!! In fact, Wyclef was so impressed with me in Oct. that he wanted all of my contact info after our chat ("I want your name, your e-mail, your number, all of it Love..."). I asked him, "Is there anything else you wanted to expound on that I missed asking you about?"
"Oh nooooo," he said in that distinct Haitian patois of his while shaking his head. "You KILLED it!!!"
