20 Things About Me

January 17, 2012
  1. I’m the only girl of 4 children.
  2. When I was little I used crying to get attention.  When a peer called me out on it, I stopped.
  3. I was a fast runner (now I am a slow runner)
  4. I wanted to be a cheerleader when I was 10 and under.  I never was.  I only made the pep squad and gave up by 11.
  5. I believed I could do anything if I was willing to take the time to do it.
  6. At one time I didn’t want to grow up.
  7. I had a very big imagination.  Oh yeah…and it was entertaining.  I wonder where it went.
  8. I have wanted to be an orphan, a princess, librarian, hippie, teacher, cool, actor, model, singer, painter, illustrator, graphic designer, mother, web designer, web developer, motion designer.
  9. I am introverted most of the time.  I like to be around people some of the time.  I get renewed when I am alone.
  10. I’m an optimist.
  11. I recognized early on that my favorite color would always be changing throughout my life.  I always remembered everyone else’s favorite color and related colors to people.  My mother liked red.
  12. I get bored when a parent who's been told their child belongs in the gifted program at school starts believing they are truly gifted and tells me about it every chance they get. Being truly gifted is rare. Try on "ABOVE AVERAGE" and see how that fits but, gifted...no. Your child is not unique or is there a freak epidemic of gifted children? It's not interesting and btw, didn't you learn that it's impolite to brag.
  13. I have a theory about sneezing.  Some people (mostly woman) contain a sneeze so that it hardly makes a sound and I theorize that they repress themselves.  A full, wonderful feeling, sneeze comes from a person who is open to enjoy pleasure.  When I hear a man make a nice healthy sneeze I find it sexy.  From a distance anyway.
  14. It scares me how little some people are paying attention to their driving while they are talking on the phone.  Some people really can’t do both.  I hope I am not one of them.
  15. I miss my father.  Since his passing, I realized I really had to be an adult.
  16. I used to have dreams of flying.  I haven’t had one in a long, long time.  They gave me confidence.
  17. I used to be very shy.
  18. I love it when I find something so funny that I cry.
  19. I know I share a lot of the same feelings, thoughts, and desires as most people in the world.  I find comfort in that.
  20. I’ve learned to tolerate dog farts.
