My Truths

20 little things about me that you may not know:
1. Some of my childhood career dreams: teacher (when you're five your knowledge of career opportunities is a little limited), astronaut, baseball player, camp counselor, actor, director, singer, painter, writer
2. I'm the baby of the family. I mean the entire family.
3. My carpet as a child was orange shag. That explains a lot doesn't it?
4. Although we don't speak, there is a photo next to my bed of my brother and me when we were little.
5. I am a grandparent orphan
6. The best friends I ever had, I had in high school: Duncan and Scott
7. I long to live on Vancouver island - the celt in me needs to be close to water
8. My favorite verse of the Bible is John 11:35
9. I never sleep through the night without waking several times
10. I was at Time Square New Year's Eve 1995
11. I have a fear of revolving doors and automatic car washes. And being lifted up. I hate being lifted up - I automatically start yelling, "I am going to die, I am going to die, help me I am going to die!"
12. I am a very long way from being a pack rat. I find peace in throwing things away.
13. I also find peace of driving alone in the country.
14. I am the worst snow boarder in the world (and yet am still willing to try again!!)
15. I hate being disappointed so much I will envision the worst possible outcome so I am either prepared or pleasantly suprised.
16. Inside I am a vagabond who longs to roam
17. Annie was my childhood hero (Well, her and Punky Brewster)
18. I'd rather hide than risk being a nuisance.
19. I make my bed every day
20. I still feel the need to find a swingset when there is a full moon.
