7 unusual things about the author
My social media friend Kim tagged me some time ago with a meme started by Shari Voigt where the writer must list seven unusual things about themself.
It’s a few weeks later, but I’m getting caught up now.
OK, Kim had to remind me about it, but better late than never.
Here they are:
- One of my front teeth is shaped like a molar- it has an extra piece in back that you can’t see.
- I have an extra sinus; showed up in an X-Ray when I was being checked out for braces, I believe. No idea if it makes any difference.
- I used to have the nickname “Spidey” when I played hackeysack – I only played it one summer, however
- I ran a 10k race when I was 19 – never did anything like that before or after
- I once drove a car through the inside of a narrow covered bridge at the same time that a utility truck was coming through. There was probably only a couple of inches of clearance on each side of my car. I panicked – I didn’t know what else to do except keep going. My friend, who was carpooling with me, kind of freaked out for a moment. I don’t blame him. Anyway, no harm done except to my friend’s nerves.
- I once ate a jalapeno pepper without changing my expression, although it felt like I had bitten into a sunburn. The people sitting near me say that I turned bright red.
- I only pulled one all-nighter during my entire university career – it was near the end of my final year. I guess they’re supposed to be more common than that.
Yeah, that’s it, then.
