About Me

Name: Ebbony

Age: 20

Hometown: Beaverton/Portland, Oregon!

Reason for blogging: To share my insane life with the internet

12 things you should know about me:

1. I will be attending my third year in Ashland, OR. I am so excited! Ashland is literally the best little city ever.  I’m a double major with criminology and psychology, it's hard work but that just means I get to play hard too ;)

2. I speak my mind, even though sometimes I should just shut up. I speak without thinking a lot and then about 10 seconds later regret saying what I said.

3. I am completely obsessed with Lucille Ball. I have idolized her since birth (probably why I LOVE acting). She was gorgeous, hilarious and knew what she wanted and wouldn't take no for an answer. I hope I can be at least half the woman she was when I get older.

4. I am in love with clothes and shoes, pretty sure I get it from my Grandma A, she has a pair of shoes for every outfit, and she has an INSANE amount of clothes! 

5. Acting is one of my passions. I was in the Fiddler on the Roof in fourth grade and then I didn't get back on the stage until senior year. I was in Family Jewels (a one act from acting 2), Hairspray, Metamorphoses and Rest in Peace (a one act play from our festival) this year, and I realized I am addicted to the stage. I have had the amazing opportunity to work with CJ Hindman, Westview’s drama teacher and director, she is honestly one of the most amazing teachers I have ever had, and I am truly thankful I got to work with her.

6. I LOVE reading. I wish I could do it more during the school year, but with papers and tests and parties and work, there just isn't time. So when summer comes around I go CRAZY!
My favorite author so far is Jodi Picoult.

7. I am almost always cold. Don't ask me why, but I get goose bumps in 80 degree weather.
If you ask me how an Oregonian gets cold unless it's scorching hot, I would say I have no freaking idea.
It baffles the masses.

8. I have a super short attention span which causes me to get distracted really easily or get bored.
I also find trivial things very entertaining.
I apologize for any random disorganized posts due to this fact.

9. I love the Eiffel Tower and Paris, I've never been, but for some reason I am attracted to it.
I have to have anything related to either.
Here's a secret confession: I bought myself a gift bag from Target once because it had the Eiffel Tower on it and said Bonjour!

10. I would seriously do anything for my best friends. They literally mean the world to me. I only met a few of them this last school year, but I already love them to death.
I honestly don't know what I'd do without them.

11. I am in love with Old Hollywood. I'm talking Cary Grant, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Red Skelton, Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, etc.
I don't know why but I could sit and watch old movies and TV shows all day if I could.

And last but not least...

12. I obsess about things super easily. Blogs, music, movies, actors, iPhone games, random things that usually wouldn't matter. I think it's kind of a problem... But I don't see it changing anytime soon. Hopefully my obsessions will be helpful, funny or just entertaining to all of you.

If you're still reading I hope you enjoy my rants, raves and rambles!
