Okay. The Blog you've all (yes, all three of you) been waiting for...
...The Answers to Nine Things About Me That Are True + One That Isn't...
1.) I attended art school with Ani di Franco.
TRUE. She and I both attended the State University of New York at Buffalo for art at the same time, and I'm pretty sure I had encountered here more than once in the building (how many people had pierced eyebrows in 1988? I rest my case.).
2.) I was born on a Friday the 13th, under a full moon.
TRUE. November 13th, 1970. Consult a calendar if you don't believe me. ;)
3.) I have lived in three different states.
TRUE. New York, California, and Oregon.
4.) On my graduation day from high school, our valedictorian was taken into custody for killing his mother.
TRUE. Sadly.
5.) My first computer was a PC laptop.
TRUE. I'm pretty fiercely Mac-loyal now, but my first computer ever was this old PC laptop (I'm talking,
filled your lap) that pretty much ran DOS and nothing else (though I loved it at the time!). It was perfect for using WordPerfect to write. Something about it keeled over and died, and I moved on to my next computer, which was also an IBM clone also running DOS, ironically enough.
6.) I was the only female on my high school Math League team.
TRUE. I did terribly too, but then again, we all did. These were not
easy math problems.
7.) I have had blue, red, and black hair.
TRUE. I used to streak my hair blue (temporary gel stuff -- I didn't say I had DYED it blue); I had Bev-Crusher-red hair for about 6 or 7 years; and one summer during high school, I did a black (temporary) color wash.
8.) I learned to ride a bicycle when I was 4.
FALSE. I was a chicken about riding a bike and didn't learn til I was almost 12. I learned to read at about the age of 4 though. :)
9.) I have taken the subway system in six different cities.
TRUE. Buffalo, Toronto, Washington DC, New York City, San Francisco, and London.
10.) I have a pierced tragus.
TRUE. For today's anatomy lesson, put your finger on your cheek and move it towards your ear. The first thing you touch that isn't your cheek, that kind of sticks out like a little flap that would cover your ear canal if it was just a bit bigger (course, on some people, it might), is your tragus.
is
this just not enough…?
