Thursday Thirteen.......13 Things that you may not know about me.
- I cannot sit at a table where the utensils have been placed on the wrong side. It drives me nuts. No, really it drives me insane. People often take bets to see how long it takes me to crack when we are out somewhere and the table has been set incorrectly.
- I do not get scared when watching horror movies. As part of my required courses in University, i had to take make-up and special effects. Now, when i see a scene, i am usually thinking...WOW, I wonder how much latex it took to do that! Scary books on the other hand are different. I can get VERY scared while reading, because of what the author makes me see in my head....better than any special effects could ever be.
- Despite my now somewhat conservative look, at one time i was a bit of a rebel. I had a half shaved head in high school, and many different hair colours, often at the same time.
- On audition forms under hair colour i used to check off OPTIONAL(see #3 above)
- In 1991 I was assaulted. I had gone to sleep after my roomate went out, and i awoke to a man in my bed. It was not my boyfriend. It was however someone that i knew.
- I do not drive. I did drive, but it was not pretty, so i stopped. Something to do with not having really good depth perception, and "seeing" cars coming straight at me, even when they were several lanes over.
- I would like to learn to bungi jump.
- In University I held the Boat race drinking title at one of the local bars. My team beat out the football squad.
- At one time i seriously thought about becoming a doctor. Or a lawyer.
- I saw my doppleganger. Our pictures appeared the day after each other in our local paper when i was in high school. She attended a different high school.
- All of my writing used to be done on my Grandmother's monster typewritter. The kind that needed six men to move it. I swear it was made out of cast iron. It was lost in one of the moves ( i actaully think it was stolen, because it was really hard to misplace due to its size). I really miss that typewritter, and am always on the look for one similar.
- I hate peas. Not just a little. I really hate them, can't be in the room when they are being cooked...Yet, i love pea pods. Weird.
- I was a member of the Canadian Armed Forces. I was honourably discharged. My children can honestly say that yes, their mother wore combat boots. I taught weapons and public speaking. No, not in the same class.




Yup, there certainly are a few things that I didn't know about you. Hmmmmm...
But I DID know that you can drink!!!!!!!
