This is going around on facebook but because not everyone there reads this (and vice versa) I am posting it both places.
Feel free to cut and paste your version of this in the comments.
1. I always put my right shoe on first. If I grab the left shoe first, I put it down and start again.
2. I hold my breath when I take off my shirt.
3. When I was little I told my grandma I wanted to be a kangaroo when I grew up.
4. I met my childhood best friend when I was 4 and she was 3 and she still slept in a crib which I thought was hilarious.
5. I can remember the words to almost every song I have ever learned and I am very good at name that tune.
6. In grade 6 I started taking flute lessons and carried on with them right through to grace 13 (because in those days, grade 13 still existed).
7. I don’t associate emotions or images with music because of an article written by Aaron Copland(Music Appreciation: The Art of Listening) I studied in grade 12.
8. My favourite colour is yellow and has been since I took my first breath.
9. I hate brushing and washing my hair so I just don’t bother any more and my hair has never looked better.
10. When it’s winter time I crochet my heart out but as soon as it’s warm, I stop.
11. When I moved to Windsor in 2003 I was running away from my life in Toronto.
12. I cry when I am angry or scared and I hate that I do that.
13. Every time I am at my mom’s house I like to look at old photographs because I had a very happy childhood.
14. My mom gives the best head rubs in the world.
15. I used to have a recurring dream about laying in the back of a hatchback car that is moving but there’s no driver, but now I have a recurring dream that I can lick my eyebrows and I always wake up thinking I really can.
16. For the first time in my life I have been going to the gym and I like it a lot more than I thought I would.
17. Shannon and I own almost 30 acres on Cape Breton Island and I think about living there all the time.
18. The first job I ever had was picking sweet cherries in the orchard across the road from our house in Niagara-On-The-Lake.
19. There has never been a time, up ’til very recently, that I have not been involved with live theatre in some form.
20. Because I grew up in Niagara I have an extreme love of soft fruits and I truly believe that there is no such thing as a decent peach or cherry or plum in Toronto.
21. In 2000 Shannon and I ate so much sushi each week that I got sick of it and declared a ban on it.
22. Some people call me a star fucker and that’s not really true. I met lots of rock stars when I was younger but I never fucked any of them.
23. My boss and I go see a movie almost every week, which I love because I am getting paid to sit in a free movie but it means I see a lot of crappy movies (ahem, Paul Blart Mall Cop anyone?).
24. My sister is my mentor. Everything she’s done, I’ve done too. I am a photocopy of my sister.
25. It’s partly my fault that Emily has twins. Yay!
Also
haha the link was awesome. This inspires me to make a list of my own. ..Wonder if I can remember enough stuff to compile a decent list, guess I’ll find out. hah
Anytime I hear someone say there are from Niagara, I get all warm and fuzzy.
I am born and raised Niagara girl and cannot wait to get back, I totally understand what you’re saying about the tender fruits! And the escarpment, who knew you could miss the geography you grew up with?
try finding fruit in Montreal! it’s hell. Pretty much the only thing I really miss about Niagara (other than family) is the fruit…
