My mum gave birth to me during a scheduled C-section otherwise I would have been an Aries.
I have Aries tendencies.
I spent most of the first year of my life vomiting breastmilk.
It took my mum that long to figure out I was allergic to milk.
I could read by the time I finished JK.
At the end of SK, I tried to convince my parents that I had learned everything I needed to know and had no use for further schooling.
I skipped grade 4.
I started grade 5 at a new school where I was treated badly by kids and teachers.
It was a private Christian school, leaving me with not too much trust in people calling themselves ‘Christians’.
My mother has since apologized for sending me to that school.
I had a crush on Joel S for all of grade 8.
Years later I learned that Joel S had a crush on Jeff W. So, it wasn’t me, it was him.
I entered public school in grade 9.
I failed grade 9 math and science.
I made out with Kyle K one summer day after writing my final grade 9 exam.
We never spoke about it again, even tho he was happy to brag about it to all our classmates.
I turned 16 while on a school trip in Paris.
I speak horrible French, but manage okay when I visit Quebec.
I adore Quebec City.
I dated Daryl Z for 1 1/2 yrs during high school.
I dumped him on New Years Day 1997.
I attended 3 high schools in 4 1/2 years.
It took me that long to obtain the 30 credits necessary to graduate.
Of those 30 credits, 5 were university-entry credits (then known as OACs).
Because I needed 2 more university-entry credits in order to apply for uni, I applied for cooking school.
Even if I was considering majoring in English, the whole OAC bullshit that I could only use 2 of the 3 credits I’d earned in English.
I got a 92% in my OAC English Writer’s Craft.
I came down with mono within a week of finishing high school.
I kept on working at the Greek restaurant anyway.
I kept on having a torrid affair with a guy 2 years younger anyway.
We often had sex in the back of my parents’ station wagon while parking in industrial parks.
I have travelled to 7 of the 10 Canadian provinces.
I want to drive across Canada with The Mook one day.
My father liked to plan family vacations around amusement parks. So I’ve been to Busch Gardens in FL and VA, Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH and Walt Disney World and Epcot in Orlando, FL.
I attended the same summer overnight camp for 10 years.
I never wanted to be a counsellor there after I learned they held prayer meetings at 7 am.
Both ‘prayer meetings’ and ‘7 am’ scare me.
I have never learned to knit or crochet and have no desire to learn.
I can embroider, hand-sew, and machine sew.
I am handy with a hammer and own a power drill.
When I’m stressed, I develop styes in my eye.
My second toes are longer than my big toes.
I’ve been sleeping with the same stuffed Eeyore toy since I was 15.
I love this!! I think that second toes being longer than big toes is genetic. ~Susan
