10 Things you didn't know about me
...or maybe you did


1. I'm a perfectionist but I'm also really impatient. These two characteristics fight with each other on a pretty consistent basis.

2. I LOVE to dance and sing. And, I'm pretty good, if I do say so myself ;)

3. I was in a national Burger King commercial when I was 17, it was 1994

{see below & scroll to 2:42}


This is just part of the original commercial I did. I can't find full-length version ... I'm the one who says "Welcome to Burger King"

{I was also in a Secret deodorant commercial, a voice-over for a different Secret commercial, a Key Bank commercial with Anthony Edwards ...and I think there was one more ...but I can't remember. Either way, I can't find any of these digitally online. I have original copies on old VHS tapes only}

4. When I was a kid my mom used to take me to a park that I only know as "The Duck Pond". We would bring a loaf of bread and feed the ducks. The memory feels like a movie now because I was so young.

5. I used to have really great handwriting ...not that I'm bragging. I just used to really care about it ...and now? I just want it out of my head and onto paper as quickly as possible before I forget it.

6. I have a LOT of energy. Like omg.

7. I got caught stealing underwear at the mall with a friend when I was 16. I learned about department store security. I also learned that behind every mirror in every dressing room is a camera. A camera watching you get undressed.

8. I crack my knuckles. I crack anything that will crack actually.

9. I've sung on stage with Britney Spears. Yes, it was only Karaoke. But there was a stage. lol. I worked as the Karaoke host at Dimples in Burbank Friday and/or Saturday nights where I drank far too much and made a complete ass out of myself. It was fun.


Left: Britney in black wig, Her friend?, Me.
All = drunk. drunk. DRUNK.

This is one of the MOST unflattering photos of me. I remember leaving the house that night unhappy with my outfit. I'm pretty sure I had my period too. Note the gold lamé tiger shirt. Yes, I still have it. I was trying to get my dyed red hair back to blonde. Also note. Britney is TINY! I am 5'7" and an entire size bigger than she is {she's at least 4" shorter -but we were both in heels}. Like she could fit inside me. No matter how big she looks in photos or magazines ...know that she is BITE SIZE! {this was 2001} ...Olivia Newton John was there with her daughter that night as well. I almost forgot. I'm pretty sure we were singing a song from Grease here.

10. I am still most creative at night. If I could stay up all night and sleep all day {on the beach in the sun preferably without worrying about skin cancer} I would. FU society! ;)

Lauren From Texas said...

This is probably the most amazing thing I have ever read. Britney? Burger King? LOL. You are too awesome.

Maki said...

Your Hotness; The BEST post ever!! (although I knew many things you mentioned here already..)

Feelmore said...

KNUCKLE CRACKING! yes. and it WON'T give you arthritis, no matter what they say...

Chessa! said...

this is by far one of the most random and funniest of the ten random things. love it!

Clare said...

I hope that you were joking about the camera behind the mirror. If not, ALL department stores have this? I kinda freaked out

Brooke said...

Such a fun, random list! I was once in a commercial for a local pizza restaurant in Des Moines, Iowa. Somehow, I don't think I'm on the same level as you ;) haha

The Rest is Still Unwritten said...

YOu should have been the girl in the red hat! haha! That's cool you sang with Britney. I'm still a fan...I don't even care!

OHN said...

Wow...I bet you get free whoppers for life :)

Ewww about the cameras. Have you ever gotten a look at some of the losers they have working security...and they are watching...ewwwww.

...love Maegan said...

not joking about the cameras. ...I should just do a full post on the experience. it was ca-razy.

♥Aubrey said...

I think the best part out of ALL of this is that...Britney's friend has her pants unbuttoned ;)-
Great list girly. You always surprise us with something new!

captivate me. said...

so interesting--love these kinds of posts!! Burger King rocks :-)

Leigh said...

Great post!! I can totally relate to #1,5 and 6 OMG totally.

Great to see more about you Maegan xo

Elizabeth Marie said...

Feeding the ducks?! ahaha did we all do that?

Such a cute post...love getting to know you more!

Jill said...

The cameras behind the dressing room mirrors is creepy! I had no idea!!

Hanako66 said...

I am TOTALLY like you with being awake/creative at night...I have to force myself (cough...wine) to sleep at night so that I am not a zombie all day!

I'm always bouncing off the walls too.

I write like a 12 year old boy.

Jayci said...

To a little small town Utah girl, you've lived an exciting life! Love the commercial. Love that you sang with Brittney and had a job where you could get drunk.

I can relate to #2 - except the pretty good part. I just love to dance like a dork :)

Meghan said...

Best list ever!!! You have had so many interesting experiences and I LOVE hearing about them. The Britney pic is classic!

Victoria said...

you are awesome!! i was so impressed with the britney and burger king thing! lol. xxx

Lindsey Conrad - Nabors said...

I am SUCH a night person too! I love doing projects and stuff late at night when the hubby has gone to bed! I just like it becuz it's my time and quiet! I find it peaceful kind of. Family and friends are always griping at me for staying up so late. I even do it when I have to get up and go to work. But if I didn't have to get up, I would sleep all day! I am just like you, love to stay up late, and love to sleep all day. But the sleeping all day doesn't happen too often - but I love it when it does! I know people say you waste the day when you do that, but I don't care. I loved bed!

anhesty said...

u rock!

Yaya said...

You're so cute in that commercial!

FrancoB. said...

i knew all that.
but britney spears? wow, didn't know that one!
....creative at night? lol

josephine said...

I SO agree with number 10.

That's hilarious that you used to work at Dimples. I actually live in the Toluca Lake/Burbank area. so funny

Berry said...

Haha! That picture with Britney is hilarious! =P

You've had quite the adventures!

I used to go to a park where I would feed ducks too! I was probably 2 and I can still picture it perfectly! It was always so fun!

Gabbi said...

What a great list! I loved your BK commerical... too cute :) Also loved the Britney and you Karaoke photo.

1) I love when you come out with things like "I've been in a pop group!" or "I've been in a Burger King ad".

2) I need to know. What did you sing with Britney?

Mrs. D said...

Very cool.

Darrah said...

Wow, those are definitely things I never knew about you! Haha! I can't believe you were in that Burger King commercial! Hilarious. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that I linked you on my blog. I'm trying to get my favorite fashion bloggers to write about their thoughts on the future of fashion journalism. I'm giving out "Fashion for Thought" awards to the bloggers that follow through. Thanks!!

~Mrs. Guru~ said...

That is so cool that you sang with Brit! Sounds like you have had a great past!

Megan said...

Hah! I love how you just randomly throw these big things out there - such as you were a tv commercial star!! OR not only have you met Britney but you have sang with her??! LOL! Girl you are a woman of many layers! I always love reading what you have to say!

OceanDreams said...

Oh my gosh can't believe you drunk sang with Britney, very hilarious! I am mostly creative at night as well, isn't that the best time to create!

Iva said...

ohhh #1 is great! and I love being a huge dork myself as well! :) YAY!

now THAT is the best BK commercial if I have ever seen one ;-)

ohhhh yes you seem to have tons of energy in a GREAT way though...otherwise we would be missing out on some seriously awesome DIYs, and hair tutorials, and outfit posts, and beSmartbeGreen bags...and ...and...and... :)

#7: that is just horrid about the cameras.

#8...same here...and it makes people cringe.....why people why? It feels good...for me my fav, is cracking my neck and back :)

ohhh society and its 'rules'!
gaahhh

ohhh this was so much fun learning this stuff about you!

Hope you had a great day!

monkey toes said...

brooke said...

Jess said...

cameras behind the mirror???

First, hasn't ANYONE complained yet?

2nd, won't all pervert just go interview for the security job now?

I mean the clothes are all tagged with those magnetic thing..

eww, I hope there's no such thing as camera behind mirror

Fashion&Such said...

Actually love this photo of you guys!!!
& you don't look THAT bad, i mean we all have our days...

Amber said...

Um, are there really cameras behind all the mirrors?? Because if so, I'm scarred for life! I may never be able to try anything on again! Oh dear. Love your list, though!

Amanda Nicole said...

Hi-larious! When I first saw the commercial clip I thought, Oh my god, you met Dylan McKAy?!

Jill Pilgrim said...

Dude, you are totally famous! My moment of fame? I won a math contest my senior year in high school. It was in the Boston Globe. I am a very important person.

PoshBride said...

Maegan, was this park in the valley? Like on Reseda and something? There's a park around there somewhere that my dad would always take me to and till now I refer to it as the "duck park"

The Alleged Ringleader said...

OK I love these little fun facts! I too went to a place called the Duck Pond in the valley and my parents used to bring bread to feed them! I think I'm going to have to call them to find out where that was!
BTW seriously about the camera behind the mirrors in dressing rooms? I'm cringing and shuddering just thinking about all the naked unflattering dancing I have done in dressing rooms.
Eeeeek!

Kelly said...

Love all these little facts, but I am dying to know. Can Brit actually sing? Really, cameras behind mirrrors? Oh shit.

Marcia said...

Nice post! Thank you for sharing.

Amy said...

Great post - made me laugh. OMG - cameras behind mirrors - SHIT!

Heidi Renée said...

I still have my crappy little TV from my college dorm room because it has a built in VCR!

Style Porn said...

OMG, you went through an underwear-stealing phase too? God I remember just walking into the lingerie section of Nordstroms and just leaving wearing like 8 pairs of underwear. I can't believe I never got caught.

Lola said...

Great list! I am freaking about the cameras as well!!!

Britney does look small, but she also looks much shorter than you???
