I got this from Erin.
I’m supposed to write five things that folks are unlikely to know about me. Given that I’ve already posted 101 things, you’d think it’d be easy to come up with five more, but, no…
1. My favorite movies have complex plot lines, like La Femme Nikita, The Princess Bride, The Usual Suspects, the LOTR trilogy, Run Lola Run and Memento. Total Recall used to be among those, but after seeing it again recently, it doesn’t seem as complex as it did when I was 16.
2. I was waffling between whether or not I should dye my hair, as I really don’t think it’s right that I’m graying at age 33, but I have this odd compulsion to be “real” and natural as possible (though I’m not opposed to make-up! “Real” and natural only goes so far in my book, apparently). A couple of months ago, though, as I was leaning over, my friend Sheila petted my hair and said, “It’s so shiny.” That settled it. I’ll take shiny and gray over brown and chemically treated.
3. I was a homeowner at age 22. (There are good reasons to marry a man who is 6.5 yrs older than oneself.)
4. My sister and I don’t really look alike, and we are very affectionate with each other. So, while we were working together at McDonald’s when we were both in high school, a rumor started circulating that we were gay. Apparently, we didn’t tell enough people that we were sisters.
5. I’ve always wanted a restored Nash Rambler. I’m not even picky about the year, just something from the ’50s or ’60s. I prefer the coupes, though.
