Here are my 7 pieces of scrap…I hate veins. Veins make me sick to my stomache. I’d be much happier and less grossed out if we had thicker skin so I wouldn’t have to see those blue lines. And don’t get me started on varicose veins or I may pass out. For real.
I like to drink my Coke with chocolate syrup in it.
I believe in ghosts and I’m afraid of closets at the ends of hallways. When I walk by a closet my legs get that itchy twitchy feeling and I HAVE to run away. Even at 30.
I love those ’80s movies…Footloose, Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club. They’re classics. I wonder about people who don’t love them, or at least enjoy them. And I feel positively ancient when I meet someone who hasn’t seen them or even heard of them.
I enjoy doing the machine (click here to see). The problem is that I end up in a swimming pool with my clothes on after drinking those. Todd, are you reading this?
I would love to time travel. When I was younger I spent much time trying to figure out how to do it. Time has to go somewhere, right? Since I can’t do time travel I spend time thinking about where/when I’d go to, what I’d bring (I only give myself one item) and usually obsess on how I’d make it back there/then.
I don’t have a favorite anything. Not even color…pink, red, blue – it all depends on my mood. I’m too indecisive to pick out just one thing in anything.
You know me and the rule of 3…the three are Holli, Jo, and Thauna. Give us your honest scrap chicks.
Mandy says
I would like to travel too. Anywhere really. I just want to see other cultures, other places… Mmmmm…
What is the machine?
M.J. says
I love those 80s movies too–Breakfast Club is especially good.
Brandie says
i've never done a 'machine' but Jack is bleh.
80's movies are the best.
Lizzi says
Brandie – I only do the machine with Diet Coke and Crown Royal. The only picture I could find of it was the Jack Daniels one.
Marie says
I am very intrigued by the thought of time travel too. I remember loving that Jack Finney book Time After Time when I first read it. I too have a hard time picking a favorite thing (book, color, song, musician, etc.). It just shows that we are well rounded!
City.Girl.Em says
You and I aren't too far behind eachother-you with the veins, me with the fingerprint phobia.
I, too, believe in ghosts. Maybe we can have an interesting email back and forth about those!

Thauna says
I've never heard of the Machine before. I love 80s movies too and I'm always sayings to my daughters "What?!?!? you haven't seen (fill in the blank)" and they respond with "mom I was born in 86 or 90, when would I have seen that?" Or "you didn't let us watch those kind of movies when we were little." Then I feel ancient! So many things I still need to share with them! And thanks for passing on the Honest Scrap to me!
B says
Okay so I don't drink "fizzy" drinks, which means I can't try your "Lizzi" drink of choco yumminess and Coke. But, I'm feelin ya on the closets. After watching some scary movie (I blocked it out and can't remember the name of it) 3 years ago I still can't dry my hair for the fear that someone is standing sneaking up on me…I'm so weird.
Lora says
I like milk in my coke. And in my rootbeer. And Dr. Pepper. And orange.
It's the only way I like soda.
Lora says
oh, and I LOVE salted peanuts in Coke. Don't ask, just try it
Holli says
Veins freak me out too! Mine have been raised up and gross and puffy for two months now since that IV infiltration incident after my surgery. Its all i can do not to puke when I feel them.
I believe in ghosts, all 80's movies, and The Machine!!
Jo says
Thank you! I'll be catching up now that we're home.
