Awhile back I used to see those lists of some random number of things about a person on FB, even one with 100 items! well i think 10 is a reasonable number, so here goes:
1. I have an extreme aversion to wooden objects on my tongue. (i.e., tongue depressors, wooden ice cream spoons or popsicle sticks) and even thinking about that awful sensation makes my tongue curl up in fear.
2. In second grade I won a bag of cranberries for guessing the number of marbles in a jar at a church potluck dinner, but was too embarrassed to claim my prize and snuck out the back door of the church.
3. I wrote a book in 4th grade, 24 chapters of which were published in a national kids' magazine and I was featured in a handful of news stories, even local and national television spots, too.
4. I broke my wrist back-diving into a swimming pool when I landed on my friend's back.
5. My senior year in high school my dance team voted me to be on court for the winter carnival dance, and I had to choose a guy to escort me. Since I wasn't dating anyone, I chose some guy I sort of knew as a friend. We were not crowned as king & queen at the dance, but it was kind of fun. still awkward, though.
6. During a college spring break I once backpacked the mountains of the Gila National Forest in New Mexico which meant going a whole week without washing my hair or using a real toilet. (think shovels and dry leaves, ew. ok, you can stop thinking now...)
7. I have never been the one to break off a relationship. But I have stayed in some bad ones anyway.
8. During another college spring break, I went down to Daytona Beach, FL with Campus Crusade for Christ, and spent the week witnessing to drunk students on the beach. Except for the last day, when I was feeling antsy and needed some time alone and went for a swim a long ways away from my Crusader group. While swimming, a big wave knocked me down and I lost my bikini top in the water and had to call out to some strangers swimming nearby to help me find it. Most. Embarrassing. Moment. Ever. I felt God was punishing me, or treating me like Jonah, for straying from my flock.
9. I dated a guy who was bipolar and visited him in a mental hospital. Awhile after we broke up, he committed suicide.
10 .One summer I canoed class 4 rapids and rock-climbed and rappelled down a 70-foot cliff in northern Michigan.
maybe someday i'll add numbers 11-100. we'll see.
