charliesmumDay 06 - Write 30 interesting facts about yourself.
Oh...dear...This is hard. I'm not really that interesting.
1. I was born two months early in 1967. They mis-weighed me, and thought I was over 5 pounds. I wasn't. They didn't put me in an incubator, and I almost died. My grandmother noticed I wasn't breathing.
2. Had to have a kidney operation when I was around 18 months old. Again...almost died.
3. I won a radio contest when I was 5 years old*. Got a $50 gift certificate for Kiddy City. I got a slide for the backyard and a car-seat for my baby sister. That bit wasn't my idea.
4. My dad adopted me when I was six, three years after marrying my mom
5. My two sisters are technically my 'half-sisters' but we never think of it that way
6. I'm really allergic to hay. Discovered this while on a hay ride when I was a kid.
7. My first 'boyfriend' was a kid who lived near my grandparents in Ocean City. His father was a US Congressman. He asked me to marry him. We were 6 I think.
8. I could read at 4 years old.
9. My biological father was a pilot in World War II.
10. I was a Brownie and a Girl Scout but didn't enjoy it very much
11. Had a nervous breakdown when I was 9
12. Once fractured my foot jumping off the steps that led into the school
13. I started taking acting classes when I was 9, and it probably saved my life.
14. My first 'starring' role was an improv'd version of Snow White.
15. The first grown up book I ever read was Audrey Rose. I was 9.
16. I was really into scary books after that and read everything Stephen King had out by the time I was 12.
17. I fell in love with Shakespeare when we did a scene from Midsummer in my acting class when I was 10.
18.I got into the "New Jersey School of the Arts" when I was 14. It was sort of prestigious, kind of an experimental thing. It didn't last, but it was a great experience. Met the guy who wrote Equs.
19. My first high school boyfriend got expelled for allegedly raping a girl. While he was dating me.
20. My second high school boyfriend is the one who got me into Doctor Who. And Witchcraft.
21. My grandmother killed herself when I was 15 and I spent that year angsting over a boy as a coping mechanism
22. The first time I got drunk was at my BFF's house while her mother was out. We drank Southern Comfort. It was kinda gross.
23. My friends and I used to play Crazy 8s at lunch until the principal told us using cards was gambling and we had to stop.
24. The next day we played craps. He was not amused
25. The first concert I ever went to was The Bee Gees. My friend's father had a box.
26. I went to a party on a Yacht once with the same people who took me to the concert. They were very wealthy
27. The first concert I spent my own money on was Rick Springfield.
28. I got to see the Police live before they broke up. Barely though. It was really crowded and people kept stepping on me.
29. My college is where they filmed the movie Annie.
30. I was, briefly, a ghost-hunter.
*They recorded kids talking to Santa. The ones who were the most articulate or cute or something one. I don't remember. I remember finding his mic under the beard though.
