They say it's your birthday... (rockin' guitar)
My little sister, Meggie Applehead, is turning the big 2-1 on Sunday. I am heading up to BG today to help her celebrate. And although I know she is pumped, I think I may just be a little more excited. There have been too many time where I wanted Megan to come to the bars with my friends and I, and she had to hang back because of the pesky drinking laws.
But the time has finally come, and to celebrate, I am going to list 21 things that you may or may not know about the Reverand in Blue Jeans herself.
1. Megan can take a punch better than most full grown men. This stems from being my punching bag growing up. She's tough, man.
2. She does this "booty dance" that was solely choreographed to creep me out.
3. Megan used to carry around a blanket as most children do, but she named it her "happy blanket." How cute is that?
4. She is a terrifying driver. (She is gonna get mad at this one.) Before she turned 20 she was involved in like 5-6 accidents. One resulting in the total-ing of her car. In her defense, not ALL were her fault, but good lord that is a lot of accidents in 4 years.
5. As a young child of five, Megan's favorite movie was Karate Kid Part II, and she wanted to be like Daniel-Son, and often pestered Mom to enroll her in a karate class. Mom complied, and Megan cried throughout the entire first class. She never went back.
6. When she gets drunk, she often strikes up conversations about history. Her specialty is the Vietnam War. What a weirdo.
7. She spent a semester studying abroad in England. On her month-long spring break she visited Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Germany, Czech-Republic and Amsterdam. She visted Scotland and Ireland before that. She is so worldly!
8. As a toddler, Megan ate a piece of bird poo off the driveway. (Wow... she is REALLY gonna be mad about this one.) She refused to accept that she did this, until she was 18. She claimed she ate a piece of styrofoam. We used to tease her endlessly, but now that she admits it was poo, it is less fun.
9. We have videotape of Megan trying and then throwing up brussel sprouts. Because my parents and I are sick fucks.
10. Megan has an unhealthy obsession with Edward Norton. An obsession so intense that she HATED Salma Hayek for the duration of she and Ed's courtship.
11. She shakes her hands feverishly when she gets nervous, anxious or excited. (It's really hard to explain it... I might try and get video.) I tried to diagnose her with tourettes after viewing a documentary on the subject.
12. Megan had a lazy eye as a little kid, and wore these cute little pink glasses. Megan was the epitome of cuteness. I swear you just wanted to squeeze the crap out of her, you know, because of the cuteness.
13. She has introduced me to a ton of great music including: The Bravery, Granddaddy, Travis and Coldplay (she was the first person I knew who had ever listened to them. Before they were popular. She is the sole reason for their mega-success.)
14. She used to work at a store called Old Thyme Herbs. Not long after she left for college, the store crumbled into bankrupcy. She single handedly kept that store afloat.
15. She tends to have crushes on the tall, real thin, nerdy types of guys.
16. She is a great audience for me and my dad's jokes. She's my own personal laugh track.
17. We have videotape of an elated Megan on Christmas Eve when she was around 5-6 years old. She was shaking her hands and telling Dad that she didn't want to pass out presents because she "would get too sweaty." I know this is a strange memory to recall, but if you saw how cute it was, your heart would literally melt.
18. She hates the song "Yeah" by Usher and gets pissed because I still listen to it, and LOVE it.
19. Megan loves her waterbed, and says that is the only bed she will ever own. Apparently she is a bachelor in the 1970s...
20. She sang "Yellow Bird" at the talent show when she was in kindergarten. She wore my bright yellow ballet costume. To this day, a guy I graduated from H.S. with, still brings up her performance when he sees me.
21. Eventhough we fight a lot, she is my best friend.
Happy Birthay Meggo the Leggo!
