I got chicken pox twice. Once mildly in grade 2, and I got a 1-week holiday from school, and again fully in grade 3 when it was really going around. So I got another 1-week holiday!

I had eye surgery twice when I was 2.

I had my throat slit when I was 12.






















By a surgeon removing an abcess.

I had a stuffed wolf named Bob. In the games I played with him, he had an Italian accent and said "mew" in just about every sentence.

I would draw giant roads out of chalk in my backyard, and drive toy cars on them.

I would put on a show for my mother's friends; I loved their attention.

I had a bestfriend in childhood from the ages of 9-12.

I used to collect hot wheels cars and leave them in a package. I had put them all up on my wall with htumbtacks, and they covered all my walls like wallpaper!

I gave the swings at my grandmother''s place names and played with them in wierd ways.

I refused to nap. It was just like, something I would not do, for any reason.

I used to play pretend with anything, including rocks, toy cars, fire hydrants, Legos, ash trays, and even grass.

I played pretend with the swings, talking to them and calling them by their names and pushing them seeing how high I could push them, and pretending they were doing it themselves, a competition against each other. There were 4 of them; I named one Natasha and the others' names I forget.

Did you ever make one over the top?

When I got super-angry, I'd go to the park and swing on the swingset, sometimes for hours.

I still do, occasionally.

No; I didn't.


I played fictional disaster games a lot.

I was fascinated by weather, especially tornadoes. I want to go storm chasing one day..
