Becca got me. My number is 10 - so this list is not short. Here goes: 1. When I was 3, and then again at 4, I decided to see what would happen if I just walked off the side of the pool into the water. Fully clothed. With shoes on. My mom, home fresh from the beauty parlor both times, was not happy. 2. Good food can make me happier than anything else can. I live to eat, not eat to live. 3. I spent a week in the Israeli army, and learned to shoot an M16 and an Uzi. 4. When I got home from my year in Israel, my parents came to meet me at the airport, but didn’t recognize me since I had lost 40 pounds (I have since found them and they have multiplied). I waited 2 hours at the airport (prior to cell phones) with them 100 yards away in a new car they had bought while I was gone. 5. I once sat on an Exacto knife and ended up in the hospital. 6. My GPA my sophomore year in college was 1.2. My GPA last year in grad school was 4.0. 7. I fight my left-brainedness with forays into the arts, but haven’t had any good ones for a while. 8. At my 12th birthday party, my first and last sleepover party, I shattered my mother’s white carrara glass (marble) table with the metal ball from the Shoot The Moon game I had been given as a gift. 9. I once cheated on a test as a freshman in high school, but then felt so guilty I crossed all of the answers out before handing it in. I couldn’t sleep for days afterwards, and have tried to be scrupulously honest and honorable since. I have not been completely successful, though I have tried. 10. I am feeling old and missing the woman I was when I was younger and not afraid to do crazy things at the drop of a hat. But I still want to go skydiving.
