16 things

Mr. Zellous challenged us to write a note with 16 random things, shortcomings, facts, habits or goals about ourselves. At the end of that process we were instructed to choose 16 people to be tagged, listing their names and why we chose them. I'm also supposed to tag Mr. Z, but he's done this before so I may spare him the redundancy of it all.

For your reading pleasure:

1: Since I moved away from home I've never lived anywhere for more than five years at a time, that is until I moved to Hanford, where I've been for almost 13 years.

2: I did TV commercials and print ads when I was a child.

3: Back in the day, when my father came home from work, my siblings and I would bounce at the side of the dishwasher and chant, "Yay, yay, daddy's home!"

4. My sister and I sing the lyrics to Song Sung Blue by Neil Diamond in our own special way ("song sung blue, we know, we know, weeee know").

5. I worked for Disneyland for five years (no, I wasn't a character, but I did try out once).

6. My four front teeth are fake. I knocked the originals out while twirling rifle in high school.

7. I never wanted to be married or have children. I think I've changed my mind about that.

8. I still worry about what my parents think of me.

9. Some of my best memories come from living in San Francisco in the 90's.

10. Some of my worst memories come from living in San Francisco in the 90's.

11. I was in an abusive relationship for four years. I can't, to this day, even tell you why.

12. If I could afford to have plastic surgery, I'd get my nose done.

13. I used to think people who were "born again" were crazy, until I became one of them.

14. I cry very, very easily.

15. I aspire to be sophisticated and alluring.

16. In high school I wanted to be a teacher. In college I wanted to be a stage actress. Now I can say I do a little of both in front of my students.



I've decided not to tag anyone. But I'd love to read your "16 things."
