Now for my 20.
1. I have broken 3 bones. I broke my Left Radius (one of the bones in your forearm) when I was 4 jumping on the couch. I broke my right collarbone when I was 7 running through the house. And I broke my Fibia (the little bone in your lower leg) when I was 24 (I am almost 26 now) walking backwards. I am still recovering from that one. I had to get 4 surgeries, and still use a cane and it hurts, pretty often.
2. My mom is 21 years older than me and her mom is 21 years older than her. I don't have any kids, so I broke that chain.
3. I got an artilcle written about my Bluddys, these dead sock dogs I make, in Tattoo Savage. I was so excited I drove an hour out of my way to get a copy and when I read the article they wrote my name was Starino Rutland!
4. I met my BF online and we met in person after talking for 6 months. I rode a train across contry from WA to NY. A month later I moved in with him. We have been together for 8 years.
5. I am a Dark person, I always have been, when I was 3 my favorte cartoon was The Skeleton Dance. I was always the "weird girl" at school. I learned about umbrellas being used as parisols when I was 7 and decided to try it. Kids started asking me if I was a witch. I also convinced this one kid that I was a vampire. The dumb questions didn't stop in elementry school. I got asked my senior year of HS if I worshipped the devil. I laughed at the kid and said, "You're new here aren't you?" Because I am also a very nice person. I knew the head cheerleader from art class and when we had a speech class together she told me that she thought I was going to be mean at firstbut now she saw I was actually a nice person, I told her that I thought the same thing about her.
6. I like growing things, but the soil here sucks, so all I have managed to grow are some black tulips.
7. I am the oldest in my family. I have a little sister and a half brother. My sister is 21 and my brother is 14.
8. I love making things. I sew, knit, paint, draw, whatever it take to get the job done.
9. I smell my bunny's pellets before I feed her, it smells like her when she was a baby. Does anyone else do that?
10. I couldn't cry until I was 9 months old. My tear ducts were clogged adn they had to make new ones with a big needle. Now when I cry it gives me a massive headache and I am done for the day.
11. I saw my first dead person last year when I was with my BF's family and his dad passed away. Everyone touched him but me, not because he was dead, but I don't like touching other people. It was surreal and made me examine my whole life. He is still with us. He sits on the mantle and I even put a santa hat on his urn at Xmas time. He would have thought it was HILARIOUS.
12. I LOVE reading. The first word I ever learned to read was THE and I havn't looked back. By the end of 1st grade (the grade I learned to read in) I had read over 1000 books.
13. All but 3 of my knitting needles are from someone else. I gor my great grandma's needles when she passed away and my friend from work gave me her mother's needles when she died. I am going to make her something with them.
14. I hate going to the doctor. I once cured pnumonia with Nyquil and some penicillin. I don't have any memory of those 2 weeks, but I don't have pnumonia anymore!
15. My stepdad is epileptic, he got shot in the head while serving in Vietnam at 17 years old. Living with him for almost 2 years gave me respect for veterans. He didn't really remember the war, but he would cry if a movie about Nam came on.
16. I never had braces, but my teeth are VERY straight. I would tell my mom that my tooth was loose and my mom wouldgo, "Let me see..." then she would wiggle it a little and POW pull it right out!She once even pulled one out the morning of school pictures.
17. I can only drink coffeeif it is one of those "girly" ones.It has to have lots of sugar, milk and chocolate. I like tea alot, but I put alot of sugar in that too.
18. I have never liearned to drive, and now with my right ankel beign messed up I dont think I an ever going to,.
19.I LOVE autumn.
20. I was born and raised in Alaska and the thing I miss the most is the way rain smells. InAK it smells earthy, almost like a mushroom, here in NY it just doen'ssmell like rain to me.
