I was tagged by Nintendoboy16to blog 10 interesting things about me, so why not, here we go...

1). I guess I will start off easy. My user name origin. Horsey-because I rode for at least 7 years and have loved horses my whole life, and Jesse-because my name is Jessica and for short people call me (duh) "Jesse". When I was younger I demanded it be spelled "like a a boy" and scolded any family member or friend who wrote "Jessie". I was a huge tomboy. I did learn not too long ago though that my parents had wanted me to be a boy (before I was born) and had planned to call me Jesse. They got a Jessica instead

Here is a pic of me on my horse during a show

2) My favorite Disney movie (or really any movie) growing up was The Lion King. I knew it word for word. I think that this caused the intense adoration I have for big cats, especially lions. My dream job would involve working with these animals. Ultimate dream job- running a big cat sanctuary.

3) When I eat chips, especially out of a bag, I only use my right index finger and thumb. It only allows me to grab one or two chips at a time, but I have to do it because to limits the amount of chip residue I get on my fingers. I hate chip residue on my fingers. A few of my friends tease that this is some weird OCD tick I have.

4) Everytime I see the fireworks show at Disneyland here in Califronia, I cry. I am not (usually) a big crier, but the Disneyland fireworks get me everytime. I think it is a combination of my childhood love of everything Disney and my adult research driven knowledge of the man, the place, and the company. I have written as many papers as my professors would allow on Disney. Basically I have this super strong connection and when the fireworks play with all of the voice overs and effects, it gets to me. Silly, but wonderful

5) When I get sick it is almost always in stages. One day I have a sore throat, the next day that is gone, but I have a stuffy nose, the day after that my nose is clear, but I feel faint, etc. Very rarely do I have more than a symptom or two at a time. If I do happen to have all the symptoms at once then I am massively sick. Like "don't get out of bed" sick. This rarely happens.

6) I love, love, love the Postsecret website. I find it highly fascnating and touching, especially when I feel like someone out there shares my secret. I have sent in a few postcards of my own which have been featured on the site. I will post a few here, only one card it mine, and I won't say which

7) I changed elementary schools in 4th grade. My teacher wasn't the nicest and I was super duper shy and sensitive. This lead to me crying almost every day, complaining of a tummy ache so I could go to the nurse. Once in the nurse's office, my mom would pick me up. How I passed 4th grade, I will never know. In 5th grade I had an awesome teacher and lots of friends. My school, however, hadn't forgotten the previous year and forced me to go to counseling once a week. It was a big waste of time and after the first half of the year I wasn't made to go anymore (they realized I was perfectly happy). I still blame that 4th grade teacher for all of that though.

One of the few things I am naturally good at is archery. I entered a contest one summer when I was a camp counselor and I won, despite having never used a bow before. I have since taken an archery c.l.a.ss at school, just for fun, where I was at the top of my c.l.a.ss points-wise. It is a hobby I would like to pick up when I can afford it.

9) I am allergic to pretty much everything. I don't mean food allergy wise, I don't seem to have any of those, but I react to any type of pollen, dust, weed, etc. It sends me into a miserable sneezing fit. My doc ordered an allergy test on me (not believing the severity of the allergies which I claimed to have...he was an a**) He was shocked when halfway through my test I had already reacted to everything. He wanted me to stop and resume the test at a later date, but I insisted on powering through it. He later apologized and offered me better treatment options for my allergies. The only things I really wasn't allergic too was animal dander- cats, dogs, and horses. Odd, but awesome.

Here is a pic of my back halfway through the allergy tests (the redness=crazy itchiness)

10) I am crazy about baking. I love baking anything from simple cakes, to bread, to going nuts experimenting on a new recipe. Maybe I will start practising and I can post some pics of video game related creations

Let's see, I have to tag people, right?
