My turn, tagged by Rachel (fancy that?).

1. I can “sing” (I’m using that term very loosely) the 50 United States of America alphabetically…possibly the only thing retained from the 4th grade (cursive did not stick, sadly).

2. My first “real” kiss was by the River Thames. I married him six years later (almost to the day).

3. I decided to fast track through high school at the last minute…i.e. in the middle of October I dropped two of my five classes, and picked up three new ones. That final year also happened to be the first year I worked, was in a long term relationship, and held the highest grade point average of my pre-university academic years. Go figure.

4. I have a terrible memory for numbers (phone numbers, addresses, postal codes, you name it) and album track listings (I don’t even think I could correctly rhyme off one of them).

5. The song She Drives Me Crazy still reminds me of car rides with my dad when I was just a young’un…

Next! I tag: Adam, Slava, Jenny, Wendell, and Dave.
