20 Things Meme

Well, nobody’s specifically tagged me to do it, but I haven’t done it yet, and I thought it might be fun. So, here I go: the “20 Things You May Not Know About Me” Meme. I may go through some basics that my closer friends already know, just because it’s interesting “me” stuff, but I’ll try to keep it relatively new and as surprising and interesting as possible.

  1. I was born to a single mother.
  2. My biological father offered to put up the cash to have me aborted.
  3. I qualified for free lunches in elementary school.
  4. I went to three different elementary schools in three different school districts from Kindergerten through 6th grade.
  5. I lived in Florida for three years.
  6. I grew up Mormon, and am technically still a Mormon.
  7. My mother didn’t get married until I was 12 years old.
  8. I took ballet lessons for four years, and tap for one year. After we moved to Florida, my mom made me quit because it was too expensive.
  9. I was in Girl Scouts for two years. After we moved away from Florida, my mom made me quit because it was too expensive.
  10. I was in the Gifted program in elementary school, and the Advanced classes in middle and high school.
  11. I got a 4.4 GPA my first quarter of high school.
  12. I got put on Academic Suspension after my first year of college.
  13. I can play (or could once play) the piano, clarinet, saxophone, flute, trumpet (and soprano bugle), mellophone, guitar, and various odd instruments like the nose flute.
  14. I have never smoked a cigarette.
  15. I have smoked pot. Once.
  16. I voluntarily sang in school choir for seven years, starting in sixth grade. (In elementary school, no one has a choice — everyone has to be in the school musical extravaganza.)
  17. When I was in fifth grade, I wanted to be a computer programmer for NASA when I grew up.
  18. The only person I have ever had sex with is my husband.
  19. I now own five 35mm cameras, and one digital point-and-shoot
  20. My eyes are hazel-blue.

Feel free to ask for clarification on any of these, or to do the meme on your own blog. Leave me some love either way.
