Okay, so Rogue Poet has just tagged me to write five things that are not commonly known about me. Ugh! This is so hard to do. I mean ... it's hard to think when you're put on the spot. Sure, when I'm having a conversation then someone says something that sparks my memory and I'm like, "oh yeah, you know what I did?" When I think over my life, I don't have anything exciting like being an extra on the A-team. How cool is that??? (Of course being one of those ref guys at Skateland, I'd probably keep that under wraps. They were always rude to me ... of course, sometimes I did ignore the rules.)

1. I love The Flintstones. It is one of my favorite cartoons. I got the fifth season on DVD for my birthday which has my two favorite episodes: Uncle Giggles and Jay Bondrock. I can quote excerpts from The Flinstones. I've related my life experiences to what has happened on The Flinstones. Yes, I'm a dork.

2. I have a large scar on my right palm from when my hand went through a window when I was a child. If I were a gangster, I'd be known as Scarhand.

3. I miss acting. I miss being on stage. I miss being a total ham and making people laugh. I took acting lessons as a child and was in plays throughout high school, but had to work to pay for college so I didn't have time for play practice. Ugh! I guess the world is now my stage. Ha!

4. I took guitar lessons when I was younger but stopped playing. I still fiddle around with it once in awhile and I hope to pick it up again. I took singing lessons as well and can hold one or two notes and belt out a few broadway show tunes and not kill anyone's ears. Definitely, not a natural.

5. Bowling is the one sport that I'm decent at. I was on a league for about 7 years when I was younger. I'm a little rusty now but when I was in college none of my friends could beat me, not even my husband ... which is why we stopped bowling. Did I mention how competitive he is?

That's it. Now back to writing.

Yours truly,
Scarhand
