Tag, I'm it

Julie has decided to tag me for a meme. So I get to give you random bits of information about myself. At first I was going to totally steal her idea and write about my scars, but I realized I only have stories for the four huge ugly ones. The rest are random bumps and scratches.

So I bring you Hugs' list of random stuff:

1) One of my proudest moments was during the 8th grade graduation. I won the science award, which was totally unexpected. I beat the valedictorian and salutatorian. I kind of hoped for the math one, but didn't get it. It was based on a test we had taken, not based on teacher's feeling bad for me, so I was thrilled.

2) My second proudest moment was getting a 3 on the AP Calculus test. Not the best score of the class or anything, but I was impressed with it. Of course now I can't remember Calculus....

3) My biggest regret is not trying out for track. Running bored me to tears. But at recess I was one of the best Jail-Break players. Now I'm always struggling to run at a decent speed. Well, I've taken about 9 months off for now....

4) My biggest fear is that I will be forgotten. Most people would say drowning or something like that. I'm afraid that I'll die won't make any kind of impact in the world. I realize this is totally irrational and that I have wonderful family and friends. But most fears are irrational.

5) This news clip makes me cry every time.

6) More often than not, I type my name "Amadna" then have to go back and correct it.

7) I am malignant hyperthermia susceptible. In my terminology, I am allergic to general anesthesia. This was discovered when in kindergarten I went to get my tonsils removed (I had strep throat a lot as a kid) and things went very wrong. This led to a muscle biopsy on my left thigh that left a nice 4"+ scar.

8) My picture was in the National Enquirer. Ok, so it was me and 300+ of my relatives and I was like 12, but people can still pick me out of the crowd. It was for the world's largest family reunion. We'd have been in Guinness too, but no one felt like looking up that many birth certificates and wedding licenses.

Not much new but...

I think it might be a toughie, but I could be wrong.

Flurry of information

Today I will begin by discussing my tv shows.

RIP Gilmore Girls. I found out today that the last episode will be on May 15. I just really enjoy this show and would love to live in Stars Hollow. I can't put my finger on exactly why. And Chris would cause me serious bodily harm before he lets that happen. There will be parties and sadness on May 15.

I don't know if any of you watch Heroes, no one seems to besides myself. But I watched Monday's episode online and was so shocked and awed I nearly cursed at the screen twice. And anyone who knows me knows that is saying something. Possible future time line? Peter kicking butt? Sylar?!?!?

So while my Girls will leave me, I will at least continue to get my super hero fix next fall. After of course the bomb goes off and they leave a huge cliffhanger that will make me swear like a sailor and lay awake at night wondering how to get Chris to name our kid Milo.

In other news, D is a female. I asked. Not her. One of the bosses. While we were alone. And apparently the bosses have to correct the kids. Often.

More news, guess what I found out today. That my license expired on my birthday of 2007. I am such a rebel driving around with an expired license. Even if I was unaware of this transgression, I'm still a rebel right? Of course tonight I will lay awake wondering if they'll make me retake the written test since I've let my license lapse for so long.
