1. My best friend and I went and got matching butterfly tattoos on our upper back/shoulder area. We got them to celebrate being best friends for 9 years. We’re now going on 16 years of friendship! This is Loribelle, Lacy and I dancing at Nationals.
2. My dad’s cousin wrote/sold regency romances and then opened an epub www.belgravehouse.com before they were fashionable. She’s the one who encouraged me to join RWA and helped me figure out the writing/subbing process.
3. My freshman year of highschool I had a big crush on a guy in my English class. Big. And we saw each other at the Homecoming game and talked, and I kept hoping he’d go to the dance and ask me to dance. He did. And I freaked out. All of a sudden ‘dating’ or ‘interacting w/the opposite sex’ scared me to death. Everytime he came to ask me to dance I’d turn away. Then finally I had to call my mom to pick me up because I was so terrified. Yet the boy still persisted, calling me and asking me out. And I was still terrified and finally lied and told him I had a boyfriend (YEAH RIGHT!) I always felt like a complete wench about that one. Especially cause he left our highschool shortly after. I wish I could find him and explain that ‘it wasn’t you, it was me’ thing.
4. Before I had Emma I was famous for taking trips with my friends. Spontaneous road trips or what not. One friend and I had four days off, so we decided to drive down to Disneyland (from Seattle) we left at midnight and got to L.A. by 8pm the next day. I won’t say how fast we were going. Then on another trip we flew to the East coast, rented a car and just drove all over NY and the states around it. We missed 9/11 by six days.
5. I befriended all three ex-wives, and the one child, of my ex-boyfriend (Emma’s dad.) I was the only one who didn’t marry him (fortunately.) Jammie (wife #2 who has the child) and I are really good friends and get the girls together as often as possible.
I was tagged by Lillian Feisty and Aurrora St. James, and now I’m tagging (man I have no idea who’s done this) Emma/Shawn, Lacy, Jen M. and Jodie. If you’ve already done it, ignore me. :)
