I haven't read many here but yours were super interesting! I love extreme couponing lol. why'd you say no?

 

[SL&AM]

I haven't read many here but yours were super interesting! I love extreme couponing lol. why'd you say no?

Everyone I knew from Season 1 regretted it after they saw how they edited it for TV. I was being recruited for it for their Season 2. Also, almost 95% of the deals I was doing (at that point) were on the military base we lived on and no commissary was going to allow them to film. So, in order to be filmed, I would have had to go through the Garrison Commander to get approval for them to shoot at my house, then learn another local (not as great to coupon at) store, to do the actual filming.

WHEN DID YOU HUG MY HUSBAND?

Gonna need this story.

 

[SL&AM]

WHEN DID YOU HUG MY HUSBAND?

Gonna need this story.

I was at my BFF's sleepover for her birthday when my mom found a super small ad in the paper that said Joey Fatone was doing an Improv Workshop to raise money for Dr. Phillip's High School's Theater Department at the Beetlejuice set of Universal where he used to work. My mom talked to the director---this was long before the days of internet and smart phones, so it was pretty low key. Anyhow, she bought 2 tickets---one for me and my BFF.

When they arrived we realized we had tickets 19 and 20. At the time, Lance Bass was 20 years old so I said I was getting 20, she could have 19. What the director of the theater department told my mom, but failed to tell us was that JT was also going to be there. About 15 minutes into the thing, he actually jumps from a coffin.

Overall, I'd say there was maybe 200 people total---including both of their mom's and entourage at the back. My BFF and I sat relatively close---I think we were in row 4 of like an amphitheater...not huge.

Anyhow, they called ticket numbers to come on stage to do an improv thing with the guys. My ticket number was called so I went up with 2 other girl's. We had to take a cardboard tube and improv with it. The first girl got her promo poster and exited quickly, but the girl in front of me was talking JT's ear off about whether or not he remembered her from Walgreens. No, I'm not joking---anyhow, it was probably 30-45 seconds of her just talking, talking, talking...and JT was being truly polite, "Oh yeah, that's cool, thanks for coming..." finally when none of that helped, he turned towards me and asked if I wanted a hug. Who was I to turn down Justin Timberlake?

Let me just say, he smells as good as he looks. I then got my poster and went back to my seat.

I saw this meme on Facebook the other day and cracked up:

Until Justin Timberlake hugs you and it all went down hill from there! Though we kinda stayed friends, when I made the dance team and she didn't in high school---the friendship was gone forever. We had been friends since we were in diapers; we were in 8th grade when this happened.

I mean, if you're fishing for another fact I'm sure I can think of something

25. (officially 26.) I was in a Bunco group for a little over 2 years (made up of military spouses from Marines and Army0 and one of the last few months we played, they realized I was actually child 3 of 4---everyone assumed I was an only child because I'm kinda Type A, competitive, and I guess I never talk about my siblings.

I cannot stand flat things at all. I'm another big carbonation fan! I don't really drink soda but sparkling water and Hint drinks are my absolute favorite things. Or sparkling wine...

 

[Official OWECheer]

1) I first discovered cheerleading at the age of 5, and it was love at first sight.

2) I only cheered in 6th and 7th grade. My coaches didn't emphasize good tumbling technique AT ALL, and that combined with the fact that I have always been taller than average meant that I never learned how to tumble properly. I distinctly remember warming up forward rolls at practice on a Tuesday (my coaches had suddenly decided to start doing this), and that Thursday, we were working back handspring at our weekly tumbling class. Dead serious. Our team sucked. I chose not to cheer in 8th grade because I had just gotten glasses, and was worried about how they would affect my tumbling and backspotting. Just my luck, that year we got new coaches who dramatically improved the team.

3) I tried to write, produce, direct, and act in my own Bring It On sequel when I was 11/12. I was actually online, looking at clearance uniforms, choreographing routines, writing a script, planning out filming locations, informal casting, etc. My team was going to be named the Chiefs, colors red/black/bright gold (because I had found a REALLY cute top in those colors online on clearance for $10) and the rival team would be called the Jaguars (orange/black/white) It never happened LOL.

4) When I was in 5th grade, my best friend and I were trying to start a neighborhood cheer team. We had a falling out near the end of the school year, and decided to create rival teams that would compete against each other at the end of the summer. Her team was going to be named the Angels (metallic white and gold), and my team was going to be the Huskies (navy and white). I had already gotten matching skirts for my team (not actual cheer skirts, but short and comfortable ones). I had 4 girls (including myself) and 1 boy on my team. I was holding practices and everything, and even tried to teach tumbling (obviously, that didn't go well). W still needed more uniform pieces, so one day I went through the trash that all of my neighbors had put on their lawn, and pulled out stuff that I thought I would be able to resell. I amassed all of these things on my lawn, and when my mom came out and saw it, she was LIVID. She made me go inside for the rest of the day, and told me that I couldn't do cheerleading, talk about it, or even think about it. She took that back a few weeks later, when she told me that she noticed that "the light had left my eyes" and I wasn't happy anymore.

5) My YouTube channel is probably the one thing that makes me feel connected to the cheer world, and it brings me so much happiness.

6) For fun, I put together apparel collections for fictitious middle school, high school, college, and all-star cheer teams. I use package deals, products codes, and everything. I probably know enough to become a sales rep for 3 uniform companies haha. I expect that it will come in handy when I finally start coaching (fingers crossed).

7) The majority of my celebrity crushes have been Harry Potter actors. And yes, I think Alan Rickman is handsome. No shame.
