Not-so-secret Secrets

raybearI've decided in lieu of waxing eloquently about something from my past or present or hope for the future, I shall instead make a list of random things people probably don't know about me (and there's no reason why they should know them) or strange elements of my past I think of fairly regularly. I could probably write a story surrounding each one, but that's for another day.
1.) In eighth grade I was the middle school Geography Bee champion.
2.) I have a scar on my left arm, near where it bends that came from getting the skin caught on the door handle of a camper I was hiding in during a neighborhood game of Kick The Can.
3.) On the way home from a friend's funeral my senior year I rear-ended another friend who was attempting a U-turn on interstate access road. It was legally her fault but my dad paid for it anyway.
4.) I've never honestly told anyone the truth of the first person(s) I really kissed. At least, I don't think I have.
5.) I wet the bed at least until the age of 7, possibly up to 8.
6.) My freshman year I got up at 6 am and took a train downtown to mildly stalk someone before I took a chemistry final exam at 9 am. But she wasn't even there.
7.) My aunt is the first person I knew who got a divorce -- it happened when I was 7, yet somehow I knew exactly what the word meant. Her ex died in a car crash while drunk a couple years ago.
8.) I have a phobic hatred of golf.
9.) When I babysat instead of eating all their food I would instead consume excessive amounts of children's vitamins. I still crave flinstones vitamins.
10.) In a particularly religious phase of mine sometime around the age of 10, I set up an altar by my bed so I could have daily meditation and communion. It never really panned out because my mom wouldn't allow me to have food in my room.

Date: 2002-06-12 06:50 pm (UTC)1.) You are such a stud. I was so close in 6th grade, but then I failed. In other news, I was on the Scholastic Bowl team for three years in high school. Yay Nerd Bowl!
2.) Kick The Can? I hope you weren't the can.
3.) This one time with my parents in Indiana as a kid we were truckin' home and went through the stoplight and immediately after we did, this 1967 mustang came through on the red and hit a volvo head on. The volvo while sustaining the most damage vehicularly was not hurt in any personal way, whereas the mustang was really bad. One child was ejected and the driver hit the windshield. We had circled back to give them medical care while we called the cops. I remember we used a lot of our clothes to stop all the bleeding.
4.) I don't really think I've told you my stories either, but then again, why you'd want to know is beside me. One was really gross and one was really sillystupid on my part.
5.)..ditto. My kidneys had all kinds of problems and I even had some problems at school with that until my kidneys and bladder grew and my teachers stopped being bastardos.
6.) I almost burnt myself and my apartment down trying to make a burnt scroll of love for V. Not too many people knew that before now.
7.) I can't remember who the first person I knew who got divorced was. Probably my aunt and uncle. It was something nobody talked about, even though everyone knew what was up.
8.) I was on the Varsity Golf Team in high school for 3 years. I ended up even going to sectionals. (But that was easy where we lived..there weren't enough players on teams to be selective..LOL) We did more battle with the hive of wasps on the green than with the other teams.
9.) I had an aversion to babysitting as a kid. I did it once, but not again. *shrug*
10.) I once told my parents we ought to go work in soupkitchens to reconnect to what we're thankful for. I was told that people don't do that. They then resumed their over-consumption and then passed out asleep watching football.
