Time to buckle down and do my me-me, I suppose. So, here it goes!
1. I grew up without cable television and video games (my dad swore up and down they would wreck the television set). And, though my parents have a 50" flatscreen HD TV, they still do not have cable!
2. I have curly hair that I am quite vain about. It looks like crap most of the summer, but I love it anyway. It's about the only physical feature of mine that I really like.
3. I am the oldest child. I have one younger sister who is significantly younger than I am--she's 21 and I'm (almost) 28.
4. I was born on Labor Day. Get it--my mom was in labor on Labor Day? I always found that amusing. And, on those years where my birthday actually falls on Labor Day, like it does this year, I make the joke repeatedly.
5. I spent one glorious year living in London in college. I attended University with other British 3rd years who usually didn't want to talk to me. Consequently, most of the friends I made there were either American or from some other European country. I still love the Brits, though, and long to go back for a visit.
6. I went to Catholic high school. Plaid uniform, religion classes, the whole thing. I am no longer a practitioner of any organized religion, though I do not begrudge those who are unless they are clearly bigoted, foul, and hateful.
7. S. was the first woman I ever dated or kissed or..anything, even though I attended an all women's college. Guess she always will be!
8. I've visited both non-contiguous U.S. states on vacation, and driven through every single state on the Eastern seaboard at least three times, since my dad doesn't like flying. (My first time on an airplane was when I was 16)
Okay, I think I've done my duty now. If you want to play along, go to it, but I think there are precious few who haven't been tagged these days!

Firstly, I feel I should apologise on behalf of all those rude British students who were so stand-offish towards you. Should you ever make it back here for a visit, please do us the honour of allowing us to show you some true British hospitality.
Secondly, wow at number 7 - same here, (though not about kissing S of course). The dykes at college scared the shit out of me - they were always dry-humping on the pool table and I was too terrified to even entertain the idea that I might be one of them! Now I look back and think it was probably a wasted opportunity, but I'm secretly glad that I'll always be a one-woman girl!
I already knew all of this stuff, except for #1. Whoa!
PS I miss you guys.
