When you get this, please post 10 facts about yourself and then pass it along to 10 followers.
1. I've lived in my current house since 2000. During the first sixteen years, a yellow rosebush by the side of my driveway would bloom each year. Since I hadn't planted it and it didn't require any care from me, I called it my "rogue rosebush." It was paved over when our new driveway was poured, but last spring I planted a new yellow rosebush in my front yard, and it is doing well.
2. I like my coffee black and my whisky neat.
3. I worked for the Mondale/Ferraro campaign in high school, for a civics assignment.
4. One of my physics classmates threatened to spit on me when she saw my button.
5. I can be stupid frugal at times, but I did just toss an onion into the compost pail without trying to salvage any part of it. Mind, it was so old that it felt like one of those squishy stress balls handed out at trade shows and corporate seminars.
6. I made a promise to my mother on her deathbed that I knew I would not keep. (She did not want an obituary published.) This is also the woman who yelled at me for wasting money when I brought the flowers my mother-in-law had asked me to buy.
7. I will be flying north soon to visit my honorary mama, who turns 89 soon. She is dying from ALS but her mind is intact. There will be champagne.
8. My honorary big brother and his boyfriend will be coming to my house tomorrow for brunch. We met 31 years ago (a number of significance because he was a Baskin-Robbins boy at the time).
9. The first time I went ice-skating was at a rink in downtown Chicago.
10. My household didn't have cable when I was growing up. A friend taped a selection of music videos for me to enjoy, and that's how I first encountered a-ha's "Take on Me" (amused nod at Vincent Zhou).
