Bardling (aka the only person who is going to read this) tagged anyone who wanted to be tagged. Therefor, I shall list 8 random facts about myself.
1) Each person tagged must post 8 random (hopefully interesting)
facts about themselves.
2) Tagged deviants should write a journal of these facts.
3) At the end of the post 8 more deviants are tagged and named.
4) Go to their page and leave a comment telling them that they're tagged.
All righty...lets see.
1) I played with Barbies for a ridiculously long time. Keep in mind that I never played "dress Barbie up." It was more like "Barbie gets lost in the Brazilian rainforest and must survive until the rescue team arrives." I have basically substituted writing/thinking about my characters for this. I just don't act things out anymore; I still invent the stories.
2) Some days, I [i]really[/i] want to dance along with my ipod as I am walking down the street. It often takes a great deal of will power not to kick my leg up in the air a la West Side Story.

Yes, I have literally wanted to do that.
3) I wrote my first poem when I was around five. I still have it memorized. Prepare for cute, yet awful poetry:
When the birds fly by
it makes me want to fly
I jump up in the sky
and I can fly.
When it becomes winter I wave goodbye.
Yeah... I didn't say it was my first [i]good[/i] poem.
4) The first chapter book I read on my own was [u]The Ghost in the Big Brass Bed[/u]

The copy I read had that exact same cover art. I was in First Grade.
5) I didn't read [u]Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone[/u] until long after it became popular. I tried, but the first chapter bored me. Once I got through that, though, I was hooked.
6) When Benji, my dog, was a puppy I put him in a stroller that we used for baby dolls. He has since forgiven me.
7) (I'm not sure I am remembering this entirely correctly) Once, when my sister was a baby, Mom was in the kitchen cooking and Katy and I were in there hanging out. Katy started to crawl alarmingly quickly toward the stairs. I grabbed her ankle and yelled for Mom. I was rewarded with a hula-hoop.
8) In Sixth grade I did a painting of the three pyramids of Giza at sunset (partially inspired by lyrics from a Patsy Cline song). It won Best of Show for that category in the art fair. The same year a chalk pastel picture of Benji I did won second place in its category.
