(11) I craved Taco Bell throughout my pregnancy. The teenager who worked the drive-through at 9 p.m. even started to recognize me. It was a little out of control.
(12) I have no physical photos of Alexa. They all live on my computer, cameras and cellphone. I need to remedy this.
(13) When I was 19 I decided it would be a good idea to pierce the upper cartilage of my ear. It was not a good idea because I sleep on that ear every night. I would wake up whimpering, waiting for it to "heal" and stop being so sensitive. It never did. I finally gave up and removed the piercing.
(14) I just got my Los Angeles Public Library card. Not to check out physical books, but to have digital copies sent to my Kindle app. I used to be a book purist. But. It's so much more convenient to read on my cellphone, and I don't want to pay full price for a book I'm going to read in three days and never revisit again!
(15) I'm worried that No. 14 makes me an asshole because I'm an unpublished novelist.
(16) If there were only one pen on the planet, I would want it to be a Sharpie Ultra Fine Point. Any color.
(17) When I was a kid I used to climb a tree in our backyard that looked like it had been hit by lightning. I would sit there for hours in the late afternoon and make up songs and stories.
(18) In junior high a friend dared me to jump over a tennis net. I tried and fell flat on my face.
(19) Also in junior high a different friend dared me to jump over a hurdle when I was on the track team. I tried and fell flat on my face.
(20) This white girl definitely can't jump.
This is the second in a series of confessionals. Mad props to Deanna for starting the link-up.
Haha, I could not help but laugh at numbers 18 and 19 because the same exact things happened to me as well!! As much as I'd like to think that I can jump a whole three feet of the ground? It's more like an inch :)
ReplyDeletehahahahaha i tried to jump over a tennis net once too....lets just say it's surprising i still have all my teeth! i love those sharpie pens too, posts likek this are so fun :) www.camilleyanair.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI never print photos out either, it's terrible. Our photo albums stop on like Belle's 2nd birthday. I REALLY need to get better about it!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I actually think about doing it I get overwhelmed. There are so many good photos. How will I ever choose a handful?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear you suffered the same fate as I did with the tennis net. That being said, it comforts me that I'm not alone in my jumping efforts.
ReplyDeleteStephanie. You and I are meant to be friends.
ReplyDeleteHahaha about the jumping, I'm the same way. And I also used to be a book purist, but when I'm traveling and finish a book it's REALLY nice to just be able to open up another one...
