Day 1: Ten random facts about yourself.
1. I'm adopted. My birth mother was also adopted, and I know nothing about my birth father, so there's no family history available to me. This isn't a problem except when it comes to history of health issues.
2. I love marching band. I marched clarinet a couple years, color guard a few more years, did winter guard, and did one year of winter drumline because I also played the piano and therefore could do the piano-based percussion instruments.
3. My first pet was a horse. (My dad's horse, really, but he shared, and the horse loved me.) We'd walk around together and I'd tell him stories. He'd stand in the yard, look in the window and watch television with us. He was a big, tall delight.
4. I don't know how to skate, not roller skates, roller blades or ice skates. Mostly this is because I spent my very young years on a farm with no place to learn, and I have balance issues, so when I tried it a little as a teen, it didn't work. I'd still like to learn to ice skate sometime, because I freaking love hockey and figure skating.
5. I've been to 49 out of the 50 states here. I'm only missing Alaska.
6. I've worn glasses since I was around 7 or 8, and contacts since I was 10 or so. When I first got contacts, they wouldn't let me leave the optometrist's office until I could put them in myself, and I struggled. The woman helping me MADE ME TOUCH HER FUCKING EYE TO GET USED TO IT. FOREVER SCARRED.
7. I hate cooking for myself, but I'm learning not to mind cooking for other people. This morning, I made scrambled eggs, biscuits and white pepper gravy for breakfast. Delicious.
8. I have an upside-down horseshoe scar on the back of my head because my skull bones were fused when I was born (leading to a terrible birth experience for my poor birth mother), and the doctors had to fix them so my brain could develop. Normally I don't notice it (I have very course, very thick, very curly, and very long hair, so it's covered), but sometimes while putting product in it (usually leave-in conditioner), I'll catch it with my fingers. It feels weird.
9. I don't have pierced ears. I've had them pierced twice before. Both times, they healed over the backs of the stud earrings I wore. Because my body is weirdly awesome.
10. My favorite movie is Lilo & Stitch, followed a close second by Lost Boys.
