1. I can build an igloo for two with my book collection. Not a joke.
2. I’m allergic to penicillin. I’ve been told, because I don’t remember anything from when I was six years old, that I experienced a severe allergic reaction: hives all over the place.
3. I received an award for my excellent math skills when I was around 12 or 13. I had to go up on stage and everything. (A known fact about me is that I am terrified of public speaking.) ‘Course, all that wonderful knowledge has fled my brain.
4. I’m a hippie at heart. You have to pass a beautiful bead and bamboo curtain to get into my bathroom and my place often smells like varying bouquets of incense.
5. I am notorious for knocking over my drink… or your drink… any drink in my vicinity. Having broken so many glasses, I now stick with plastic or a sturdy mason jar, if I can help it. One time I knocked my cup over at work and turned a bunch of uber-important documents pink. (Signed originals! Shhh.)
6. My first college English professor punched me in the arm. It was the last day of classes, my teacher was handing back everyone’s final paper. He didn’t say anything to me, just flat out punched me in the arm and high-fived me before handing me my paper. It was about my grandmother and her battle with Alzheimer’s. On it he'd written, “For the world’s sake, keep writing.”
7. My second college English professor accused me of plagiarism. When I proved to him that it was my own work, he urged me to consider publication. If only I'd listened... better late than never, though, right? :)
