This is something I posted on Facebook years ago, so it's sort of a flashback of a flashback.
25 things you may not know about me...
1. I have done yoga for 14 years.
2. I have been on top of an elevator (inside the shaft) when it started going up.
3. I cured myself of the worst of my OCD when I was 12.
4. I never even attempted to write fiction until I had 3 kids.
5. I have delivered all 5 of my children without a single painkiller. Yeesh.
6. I have had a deep and meaningful conversation with George Lucas. And a couple of goofy and embarrassing ones.
7. My dad the cop escorted one of my ex-boyfriends in his prison uniform to court.
8. I have no full brothers or sisters, seven half brothers and sisters (so far as I know) including two I've never met.
9. I can pick locks with a credit card really well. The last time I did it, I was getting out of an ancient church courtyard I got locked into in Poland. NOT MY FAULT.
10. I like to interpret dreams.
11. I majored in film more than anything else at BYU, except for what I finally graduated in--Psychology.
12. I speak three and a half languages. (English, Polish, Spanish--sort of--and French enough to save my behind in a train station.)
13. I can move my little toes without moving anything else. It's a Dune thing.
14. I was once contacted by an LDS psychic spy for the US military. He wanted me to read his book and review it on Amazon. I've never been more freaked out in my life. I almost covered my head in tinfoil. I gave him a great review so I could quit worrying about him invading my mind.
15. I have mountain biked in Poland, scurried over the border in Czechoslovakia, drunk beet juice in Vienna, taken a boat-bus in Venice, been grouchy in Paris, read Dracula in London, and taken pictures of the cool doorknobs all over Spain.
16. The only sibling I grew up with is autistic.
17. I wanted to be an "Exotic Animal Veterinarian" when I was little. I thought I could give whales shots and stuff.
18. I knocked out a boy's two front teeth in first grade. He said, "It didn't hurt!" My dad congratulated me in the principal's office.
19. I really (really, really) like Spam.
20. I used to put super balls down a mystery hole in the bathroom of one of my elementary schools.
21. I once taught the BYU football team study skills.
22. I have ridden on the top of a gondola going up to Bridal Veil falls. I have also ridden it normally in complete darkness.
23. I really (really, really) love heights.
24. I cried when they froze Han Solo in Empire Strikes Back. I still do sometimes.
25. I was once called into an assistant principal's office because my dad gave him a ticket.
And there you go. I feel more than a little narcissistic, but I find as fun facts about me grow increasingly scarce, the past is important to remember!
