An entire post of I-statements

[judecorp]

I have always been a tomboy. I always want to be one. I used to play baseball, softball, volleyball, and soccer. I rowed on my college's crew team. I was the Stroke. I loved crew more than any other athletic activity. I know how to ice skate. I own Rollerblades that I rarely use. I was valedictorian of my high school class. I went to prep school with snooty rich kids. I went to Disney World with my grandparents twice. I am a Libra and proud of it. I love to drink gin and tonics in the summer time, especially with Bombay Sapphire gin and extra limes. I have an unholy love for my cats. I have a healthy sexual appetite. I am a clean freak. I was Most Likely To Succeed. I love So I Married An Axe Murderer. I have been an internet rock star since I was 17. I was a nerd in high school. I was the high scorer in the math league for two years. I was in the Science Olympiad and made a xylophone out of different sized mortars. I can say the alphabet backwards. I know lots of songs about grammar and geography because I was taught by nuns. I went to Catholic school for 13 years. I am a Unitarian Universalist. I love to hear the stories of transpeople. I want to schmooze for a living. I need a job. I won the spelling bee in grades 1 and 3. I was the catcher on my baseball and softball teams. I dislocated my jaw on a ground ball gone awry and my jaw has popped and crunched ever since. I want to start taking ASL again. I miss some people from Columbus. I want to meet Quinn, Derek, and Gloria. I am not wearing a bra right now. I had chinese food for dinner. I would give Jennifer the moon if she asked for it. I had a "boyfriend" in 11th grade who put his hands in my pants when I was falling asleep. I was once called a "worthless piece of shit" by my father. I had a first grade teacher who said I would never amount to anything. I sent her an invitation to my high school graduation. I got engaged in 1997 - I was 22. I got married in 1999. I left A. in 2001 - I was 25. I will tell anybody anything at any time. I am not ashamed of anything. I will answer any question you ask in comments. I had a peanut butter and banana sandwich for lunch today. I have a renewed respect for Cath. I want to ride my bike tomorrow. I really admire my grandparents. I need a job ASAP. I am going to stop writing now.

i don't like that ya put your unholy love for cats and your healthy sexual appetite one right after the other... ;)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I am shocked that I did this!

[fatfeistyfemme.livejournal.com]

heheheh Perhaps a choice of words other than "unholy" might have lessened the blow to my delicate sensibilities. ;)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Delicate sensibilities! Oh, honey...

[being-homeless.livejournal.com]

what are you doing tomorrow?
I have heart testing at Spaulding with a few hours off in between tests... wanna hang out? (assuming I don't go into anaphylactic shock from the dye)...

I'm not sure. I have a girl coming to pick up our moving boxes in the morning. I have to go to the post office and find a sprint store. I have to get some of these decorations up so our apartment doesn't look like a hotel.

I wonder what you had in mind in terms of ideas/times.

[being-homeless.livejournal.com]

i need to go to the sprint store and the post office... in harvard square they are right near each other. :)

call me later or in the morning.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

We are losers who will probably DRIVE to a Sprint Store (since we don't have T passes, for both of us to go somewhere on the T costs us $5, which makes driving cheaper), but we have a post office up the street.

I will give you a call.

That's an awesome post-feel I know you even more and you've a great list of accomplishments! Kudos.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I told you I was a big nerd!

[gimmeapony.livejournal.com]

JOOOD! What's ASL? All I know is A/S/L. Or ESL.
Also I have rollerblades that I never use. Maybe we should never use ours together sometime!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

ASL = American Sign Language. Although I am /fluent/ in A/S/L? !!

We should definitely sporadically use our rollerblades together, as long as you remember that I am TEH OUT OF SHAPE!

I was in the Science Olympiad and made a xylophone out of different sized mortars.

I WAS IN THE SCIENCE OLYMPIAD AND MADE A XYLOPHONE OUT OF COPPER PIPES! WE EVEN MADE IT TO STATE COMPETITION, WOO HOO (SARCASTIC)! A FRIEND OF MINE MADE A THUMB PIANO WITH THESE BLADE THINGYS AND WE PLAYED A TWO PART SONG. HEHE.

I MISS YOU.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

HA HA HA!

We also made a pan flute type thing out of plastic tubing nailed to a piece of wood. And then one person played the pan flute and the other played the xylophone thing, and they played "Ode to Joy" and we won Second Place!

First place went to some stupid rich school that crafted its own violin. JERKS.

[rebasayre.livejournal.com]

ok, how weird is this. i grew up near akron/cleveland. we played ode to joy as our two part song too!!! so, we made it to state competition in 1987where i met another competitor from the columbus area. none other than the famouspeacegames director, eric dawson himself. we wrote for a while and then lost touch. then i moved to worthington my senior year and i met him again. i remembered him from jr highand our letter writing. now you are interviewing with him and you were in science olympiad too. small world i tell you. hehe.

I want to start taking ASL again.

I didn't know you took it before. Too bad we live 1/2 way across the country from you. I would love to take a class with you (and sign dirty things to you during class to make you laugh!)

I had a peanut butter and banana sandwich for lunch today.

In the shower this morning, I was thinking of asking Marilyn to make me one of these for my lunch today. It was before I read this post when I got to work. I have never had a peanut butter and banana sandwich, but it sounded good at the time. It would have been quite a feat if she actually made it because we haven't had a banana in the apartment since we moved in over a year ago.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I took a year of ASL in college, and I totally loved it. My friend Kathy took it with me and it was great to sign secret messages to each other out in public - we would trash talk the people we saw. (We were mean.)

I think you should definitely get some bananas and have a peanut butter and banana sandwich. They are my favorite!!

I went to prep school with snooty rich kids.

That's the best description of the school I've ever seen. (I grew up in the next town over and would have started there in 7th grade if we hadn't moved to Colorado.)

I can say the alphabet backwards.

I taught Laurel to *sing* it backwards. Now I worry that when she gets to preschool, the teachers are going to be displeased when she yells "BACKWARDS!" in her angry-old-man voice after singing the alphabet song (to signal singing it backwards after singing it forwards).

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Be careful what you teach kids!

When I was about 4 years old, I learned how to write backwards, nearly perfectly, right to left. I can even do it in cursive!

Anyway, when I got to first grade, I was bored as heck because I already knew everything, so I started writing everything backwards and handing it in. This is one of the reasons aforementioned first grade teacher hated me and called me "retarded." (No joke. She totally said that. She was older than God.)
