I've been participating in Nanowrimo, which is basically an effort to encourage aspiring writers to craft their Great American Novel during November.
I have no novel in me. I do better with short blurbs of stuff, so one of the exercises was to post 30 facts about yourself. So here it is.
1. I have pretty feet. Empirically pretty.
2. I am a good writer. Thank you for reading.
3. I am not a very good web page designer.
4. I have 3 brothers and 1 sister.
5. I have 3 nieces and 2 nephews.
6. I have a scar on my left knee from playing basketball when I was 8 and fell on the concrete foundation of what used to be my grandma's chicken coop.
7. I prefer not to wear make-up.
8. My favorite dog breed is Westie, and I’ve been owned by 3 of them, so far.
9. I am a marathon finisher.
10. Yet I am a poor runner.
11. My favorite food is cheese, cheese, cheese.
12. I am a tad chubby.
13. I don’t think I’ll ever get married.
14. My favorite color is peacock blue.
15. I hate my own cooking.
16. I have a really cute house.
17. I drive a stick shift.
18. I worry that I’m not good enough at my job and that it’s only a matter of time until someone figures that out.
19. I can do ten push-ups.
20. My favorite flower is a daisy. Big fan of the peony, too.
21. I once was a truck stop waitress and a tobacco farmer.
22. I try never to take the Lord’s name in vain.
23. I worry about my parents.
24. I wish I didn’t have so much grey hair, but I do, so I wear it naturally to take back my power.
25. I have a freckle on my cheek, and the other day my sister tried to brush it off. How long have we known each other?
26. My favorite flavor is peach.
27. I am closest to my sister Heather over anyone in the world.
28. I look more and more like my mother, the older I get.
29. I cannot lie to someone, even to save my own ass. Little wonder my birthday is the same as George Washington's.
30. I hate when someone sniffs their nose over and over. It makes me want to punch them in the throat.
I realize 30 is a lot. So tell me 5-10 facts about yourself, if you're so inclined.
