Okay, me too
Jul. 12th, 2007 12:56 amGood 'ole "Spranglady" tagged me and now that I'm done messing with my Pennsic orders, I'm gonna play mindless games. :)
Here's that "Seven things" meme (like many, I don't think there's 7 things that I haven't already shared. That should make easy reading for you to skim over)
1 - As an infant, I was hospitalized 5 times for hiccups. When I got older, my mother trained me out of them by making me drink a jigger of (old and half-evaporated) Creme de Menthe with no water afterwards. Even today, should I get hiccups that I can't stop on my own, all I have to do is have someone threaten me with vile alcohol and they will cease. (Beer does the trick - just make like you are reaching for it and the hiccups are so out of there!)
2 - I am a dwarf. No, you read that right. My arms and legs are significantly shorter than they should be for my torso. When I sit next to someone who is over 6 feet tall, I will be taller than they are while we sit. Since it happened during the onset of puberty, it meant that 5 years of classical dance training and a starting career as a child model went down the tubes. (I was thrilled. I hated the beauty and talent shows with a passion. And still do.)
3 - I once hiked all the way to the calendra of an active volcano and spent a few days sleeping on the edge of the 'burn zone'. The area that Arn and I stayed in is now buried under tons of lava.
4 - My first solo performance on radio was when I was 11 years old. I sang "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" for a special St. Patrick's Day broadcast.
5 - I saw a motorcyclist get his head chopped off by electric wires when his bike crashed into a car at high speed and threw him into the air. The doctor I was travelling with (he was taking his daughter and I to go roller skating) had to stay on scene and do the response so us girls were left alone, watching the whole thing, until hours afterwards. We were in the fourth grade.
6 - I have been in the Great Tomato Festival in Loveland, Co. and threw my own bale of the things during the free-for-all town tomato battle. Except for the ones that Zack stole from my container so he could join in (Arni wisely retreated to the car with our new puppy). We were covered in smashed tomato gunk before I realised that we hadn't packed any clean clothes and it was a long, stinky, laughing drive home to Littleton afterwards.
7 - I've watched the sun rise and set from the top of the Curtain Rocks in the Painted Rocks National Forest.
I am probably the last one to respond to this, so I'm not tagging anyone.
