About Me
From Miss604 I've been asked to list five things about me that you don't know. Since the request coincided nicely with the nostalgia of New Year's Day, along with a recent re-viewing of High Fidelity, it seemed a good opportunity to flex my Top Five muscle.
Jobs I've held (paid or volunteer) have included working on a local cable-access television program, professional musician, summer camp counselor, church youth director, cashier and assistant manager of a restaurant, shoe salesman, bookstore clerk, internet support technician, project manager, and software architect. It's strange to look back and think these were all the same me.
I'd never eaten a turnip until I was in my twenties.
In university I studied Psychology, with a year-long switch to Pre-Medicine and back, a minor in English. In order to still finish in four years, the Pre-Med stuff got turned into electives. Most people had electives like Film Studies, or Humanities for Non-Majors; mine were all Biology II and Genetics.
When I was about nine years old, I found myself locked in my parents' bedroom while they were having sex. It was the longest half hour of my life. Somehow I still turned out mostly normal.
I'm allergic to bivalve molluscs. Clams, oysters, scallops. And, yes, mussels. Oh the irony, I know.
