What would you do if someone came up to buy something from the vending machine?

That still applies to me even to this day!

My favorite toy as a small child was a stuffed animal of Mufasa from The Lion King. I called him "Moofy".

I'd let them go and pretend to be looking st the others while waiting for them.

I had mad-scientist type handwriting that looked really good on my work, especially ny science work!

I've believed in Santa Claus, until I was ten.

While in Primary school in England I learned to sew, to cook, to make books, among other things, and we built a pond. Every week we'd go out and write what progress we saw and I'd draw pictures of the animals, insects, and birds.

My family went to see my Grandma Larson, every summer, when I was between the ages 8 and 15.

I NEVER celebrated my birthday - as a child, a teenager and as an adult person. I'm having my birthday in 6 days and it'll look the same.


My family reserved the right to celebrate birthdays for me from ages 3 to 6. I didn't participate unless my body being in the same rooms counts.


Random fact: I wasn't baptised. Which makes totally no sense, seeing as everyone else in the family is Christian.

I became part of the Catholic church at age 12. I cried the whole time during the ceremony, because I was having a panic attack.

I was afraid to go poo, until I was nine, because my mum scolded me for having an accident, when I was five. I've felt that it was better to go poo, when it was dark out, because of the dark colour.

I have only had one birthday party (that wasn't just family).
It was when I was 5. We went to McDonalds and played a game dropping straws into a cup. I was upset that I lost and someone else got the prize. I wouldn't take off my shoes, so they didn't let me into the playground with the tubes and balls. I remember other kids being there, but have no idea who they were. I don't ever remember knowing that many kids.

I used to watch hockey, every Saturday night, and Wayne Gretzky was my hero.

In grade 7 we had math, science and geography midterms and no others.

In grade 7, I was suspended twice for my anger outbursts. I was a total monster in my preteen years.
