Because I just did it for a forum - 20 Things about Me.
On a forum, I was asked to list "20 Things About Me"
This is what I thought of - off the top of my head.
- When I was little, I thought someday a medicine man would give me a potion to make all my freckles spread out and merge until I had the most beautiful permanent tan.
- I was the first girl in almost 50 years on my father's side of the family, so nobody knew what to do with me - even though I was a tomboy.
- I have a LOT of nicknames.
- I have had a LOT of pets, including a cat that was half Bobcat.
- One of my dogs saved my oldest daughter's life.
- I had the nickname "Speedy" as a kid because I ran everywhere, and usually made any routine trip a race with myself.
- When I was about 10, I talked my 8 year old sister and 4 year old cousin into climbing up a ladder onto the roof with me. Once I got them up there, I scrambled down and took away the ladder so I didn't have them tagging along. 30 years later, I still get grief about it. :^)
- I was a jock (basketball, vollyball, track) and a cheerleader in high school, now I can barely move.
- I was also a brainac who tried to play slightly dumber - I would deliberately miss test questions so as not to ruin the curve for friends (insert idiot icon here).
- I had the nickname "Nurse" as a kid because I was always administering first aid to drunks and animals.
- We have a lot of parties at our home and so I still adminster first aid to drunks and "animals".
- I have an innocent heart murmer. Some docs act like it is not so innocent.
- I had the nickname "Pick", because I was so skinny as a child.
- In middle school I had this freak ability to jump straight up and won district in "vertical" broad jump --- by 10" more than the next contestant! Our team didn't go on to regionals, so I don't know how far I might have gone.
- My coach gave me the nickname "Ribbit" because of my mad jumping skills.
- I had the nickname "Mouth" in Highschool. Because I was talkative and a good kisser. ;-)
- I still have a problem with talking too much. ;-)
- I also have the nickname, "Time Warp" because time seems to shrink around me. Friends say that 30 minutes seems like 10 around me - so I must warp time.
- I am also notoriously late by 5 minutes almost everywhere I go.
- I was voted Senior Class "Favorite" in high school butI still worry and wonder if people like me.
