1. When I was young, I used to tie sheets together and climb out my second story window to go out and do... "things." I am still amazed I was able to get back in and not get caught.
2. My father and I have something in common. We have both cussed LOUDLY in the chuch parking lot due to injuries. Dad got pinned between to cars and spun around like a pencil- family members should be chuckling right now. Me- I was about 14 and I was riding the hay ride at a halloween carnival and fell off. While falling, I got my leg tangled over the tow bar and my foot got caught under the wheel (it was a small cart w/ 10 - 15 kids on it). It dragged me for a bit. After I got out I was swearing "a bit" and Dani kept trying to get me to stop by saying "Jimmy, we're at church!" My best friend Kraig ran to my house to get my dad, upon arrival my dad says, "What did Jim do now?"
3. I work a lot. I can easily work an 80 hr week and not think a thing. But I am totally lazy. I still remember mom coming in and waking me w/ a cup or pan of water to the face because I slept most of the day away. Janeal has been thinking of doing this to me lately.
4. Precusor to #1... One saturday night I snuck out of my bottom floor window to go T-P ing and raise all kinds of hell. While out admiring our work, a car screeches down the road and slams on the brakes right next to us. I spook and try to jump a wall. I landed in a ditch and shattered my ankle. Somehow- I still don't remember how- my friends got me over the wall. They pushed me back home on my skateboard then pretty much shoved me through my window. Sunday morning I crawled in to mom and dads room. Dad yells at me to get up and I try to explain that I couldn't. I finally have to break and tell him the story.
5. I love to play poker. I have never deposited money online but I have about $50 on my account from my winnings. I went through a horrible losing streak the past few months and lost maybe $100. But hey--- it's free money, I'm still up $50.
6. If I could turn back the clocks, I'd become an astronomer. My favorite movie is "Contact." It is hailed by the atheists but I see it as, "Look at the majesty and incredible wonders, and you think all just happened?" I can star gaze or look through a telescope for hours.
7. Final random/ wierd fact- I can make fart sounds with my neck and shoulder. I realized this when I was young and reading a book. Boy am I glad that talent has never left me!
There... that's it. I am not tagging anyone so breathe easy.

It's a miracle I survived your childhood.
Now, see, I'm your sister, and I didn't know #5 and #6! I'm glad you gamble responsibly. Being an astronomer would totally be cool, too. I'll have to rent "Contact."
I'm chuckling as I read these! So funny!I didn't know about the swearing at church thing but I totally remembered the dad/juli incident at church and yes was laughing!
yes, you hate the tag you're it but I love hearing about everyone! thanks for sucking it up and playing along!
Saying that you cussed a "bit" is like saying the Grand Canyon is ditch. There were quite a few bombs dropped there. Man, you horrified those sweet little Mormon girls there. Our family is quite the bunch of sailors! Too funny!
