“‘Who are YOU?’ said the Caterpillar. This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I–I hardly know, sir, just at present– at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.’”
~Alice In Wonderland
Let’s free associate: curly-haired, quirky, calm, quiet ’til comfortable, love God, love music and documentaries, addicted to NPR, good listener, people watcher, day dreamer, doodler, artsy, creative,love to travel and try new things, always wish I’d remembered my camera (and never do), have amazing parents and sister, have a how-did-I-get-this-lucky husband and the best cat and dog out there, perceptive, tangential talk–sometimes my mind thinks too fast for my mouth to keep up, conspiracy theorist, sensative, silly, random, self-conscious, idealistic, always wishing I was more athletic and in better shape and had better skin and was more outgoing in a crowd and…
You get the point…

==========================================================
1. I was born on Galveston Island, Texas and only lived there for two weeks.
2. My official birth certificate has information that has been clearly changed with the help of white-out all over it. Seriously.
3. When I was young I secretly wanted to be a singer/actor and used to sing Disney songs at the top of my lungs in the shower and pretend to be an actor in my favorite t.v. shows in front of a mirror.
4. I tend to have a negative effect on electrical things. Especially when I’m really stressed out.
5. I cannot whistle. Or sing in tune.
6. I once had a pet iguana named Dorky. It died.
7. I hated my last name while I was growing up but learned to love it in college. It’s now my middle name.
8. I love traveling and experiencing new cultures and wouldn’t mind living in another country one day.
9. I have never owned an automatic car as my primary vehicle.
10. The initial stud that I had to wear when I got my nose pierced was too big and it would often end up poking straight out from the side of my nose. I wouldn’t feel it, though, so Robbie would tell me that my “antenna” was sticking out.
11. I have, and am learning to play, an electric bass guitar.
12. I have always been fascinated with the ocean and wanted to go scuba diving. My dad promised that he would take me to learn to scuba dive when I turned 12. When that time finally arrived, he was advised against it since I have asthma and wouldn’t allow me to go. I’m still a little upset about that.
13. I’m still not really sure what Robbie finds attractive about me.
14. I was stung by a portuguese man-of-war once and haven’t really enjoyed the beach as much ever since.
15. It took me four tries to get my driver’s license when I turned 16.
16. When Robbie first proposed to me, I wasn’t really sure that that’s what he was trying to do. It may have had something to do with the fact that he used a plastic ring.
17. I love playing board games and video games with people. I also like to do the puzzles in the newspaper.
18. I once canoed over a waterfall.
19. I have a completely irrational fear of needles and injections and often pass out when I get my blood drawn.
20. I loved working with people diagnosed with schizophrenia.
21. I like to write with ultra fine point sharpies.
22. I was told by a chiropracter that I have an extra vertebra in my neck/shoulder area. He called me an anomaly.
23. People often comment on how small my handwriting is and I’d love to have it analyzed by a professional so they can tell me about myself.
24. I’m attracted to things that sparkle or look like they would feel soft.
25. It usually takes me forever to really feel comfortable with people and I almost never feel at ease in group settings.
This is great! You did a really nice job with this….I’ll be sure to check often for your random thoughts. Love you guys!
