5 Things You Don't Know About Me

1. In Grade 7 Gifted Class, five of us were assigned to reorganize the storeroom. We gave most of the items we found there (beakers, bunsen burners) names and personalities and drew comic book stories about them. Eventually, we got so wrapped up in it we refused to go out for recess and we got in trouble.
2. I spent all of high school in the mistaken belief that going to class actually mattered. The only class I ever skipped was in my final year when I got caught in a freak thunderstorm on the way back from lunch and twisted my ankle sprinting for the school. I was so soaked and in pain that I gave up and went home to dry off. (I made the class AFTER that, though.)
3. I get heartily motion sick. It's an affliction.
4. About twice a year, I get told by a complete stranger that I resemble singer Sarah McLachlan. She is way, way better-looking than me so I take it as a compliment.
5. I look like this:

Yes, that's a totem pole in the background. My boyfriend's aunt made it as an artistic craft. Yes, she gets mercilessly teased about its phallic shape. I can't cut it out of the picture, though, so you'll just have to deal.

Now, go out and enjoy your summer.
