Musings
an Online Journal of Sorts
By Alyce Wilson
September 13, 2005 - Twenty Things
I've been tagged with a meme in the Livejournal kept by The Editor.
The goal is to make a list of 20 random things about yourself, but since I already did a list once of 100 things about myself, I decided to come up with 20 things not on the previous list.
Because she tagged my Livejournal, Sim Life , which is where I chronicle the adventures of my Sims, I responded there, as well.
- I have
an almost infallible internal alarm, which I can "set" and
wake up within minutes of the determined time.
- My dog
is currently 5 years old, which means that until her birthday at the
end of October, she and I are the same age in dog years (35).
- So far
in my life, I have lived with 11 cats and 5 dogs. This does not count
other animals people in my family have owned or still own. The number
of cats will soon increase to 12.
- Ironically
enough, the day I received official written notice that my divorce to
The Druid had gone through, it was Independence Day.
- I've
taught college level Freshman English and Introduction to Poetry classes.
- I've
also taught a poetry workshop at a Rainbow
Gathering.
- Some
people consider me a hippie; some just think I'm a silly person. They're
both right.
- In college,
I hosted a radio show we were going to call Full Frontal Radio until
we thought better of it and changed the name to The Caverns of Your
Mind.
- I'm a
priestess for something called the Internet
Oracle, a sort of online collective comedy project.
- I learned
to ride a bike when I was 7.
- I learned
to drive when I was 17.
- Once,
I helped somebody clear bad spirits out of a house. However, they came
back because we forgot to bless the basement door.
- When
I was really young, my favorite color was gray.
- My favorite
color changed to purple because of a purple candle my mom had that smelled
like mulberries. I loved that candle and thus, purple, as well.
- I was
born in New Jersey but have lived in Pennsylvania ever since I was an
infant.
- The house
where I grew up had an attic door that continually opened. We joked
that it was haunted. I nicknamed the "ghost" Bruce after having
a dream that the ghost of Bruce Lee was living in our attic.
- If I
could talk to a famous person who is no longer living, I'd talk to Emily
Dickinson.
- If I
could talk to any living celebrity, I'd talk to David Bowie.
- I was
born on Labor Day. The delivery room nurses would not stop joking about
this.
- Things I've wanted to be when I grew up: teacher, architect, journalist, author, happy.
Moral:
Coming up with 20 things about yourself is harder than it sounds.
