I've been trying to play catch up with my Vox neighbours and I keep running into the Eight Random Things You Don't Know About Me meme. Even normally not meme-y type people are writing them so given that my creative juices have run dry, I shall partake of the Eight Things--though I'm tempted to nab one thing off each of yours. Hehe. No, this will be about me. Snooooze.
2. I never skipped a high school class--ever. I was afraid of what my dad might do to me--though generally he was a very nice guy.
3. I'm a strong swimmer having been taught by by grandmother at age six and having spent many summers on Maple Lake. When I Iived in Huntington Beach, So Cal, I didn't want to get in the way of the surfers so I swam north of the pier by a couple blocks--but I swam pretty far out--never scared--loved it and still do.
4. I never really had problems with allergies until I moved to the Midwest. Now I'm allergic to everything that grows or blows.
5. I've always considered myself terrible at creative writing. Thinking up a fictional story use to be pure torture for me when I was in school.
6. However, I've been able to find outlets in which I can express creativity and I think if I had to I could write a very short piece of fiction.
7. I'm bossy--but very polite usually so it dampens the bossiness. But anyone who truly knows me would nod in agreement.
8. I would love to have/drive a motorized scooter. I drool a little over Papi Chulo's, more so when Rudy is in the shot.












Yeah, my dad could be scary in the '70s as well. But we still lived on the edge. But I'm here today.

@Dan: You have to meet my Dad or at least my 1970's dad.
He was the one and only one reason I didn't. Not even on senior ditch day. I was such a square.

Never skipped school? This one surprises me. I picture you hiding in the woods, waiting for your friends to join you for an afternoon of adolescent endeavors.
