==Appearance==
I am shorter than 5'4": Not for thirty-plus years. I'm just shy of 5'8".

I have many scars: No. Not too many, just a couple doozies.

I tan easily: Uh, no.

Burn easily: Yup. White or red: those are the only real colors I have.

I wish my natural hair was a different color: Welllll...I wish it wasn't quite so gray....

I have friends who have never seen my natural hair color: Yup. 'Tis true.

I've had/have braces: Two years, in middle school. Built lots of character. I had to have four teeth pulled first, too. The other bookend was that two years after getting the things off my teeth, I had to have my wisdom teeth pulled too.

I have been told I was attractive by a total stranger: Yup. Sigh...the perils of working in public service.

I have more than 5 piercings: Nope.

I have/had piercings in places besides my ears: Nope.

I have freckles: Yes. Yes, I do: face, arms, back....

==Embarrassment==
Disney movies still make me cry: Only "The Lion King."

I've laughed so hard I've cried:

Not today...but last night, yeah. hee hee

I've glued my hand to something: I've glued my fingers together: does that count? I also wasted a lot of glue while in middle school putting white glue on the palm of my hand, letting it dry, and then peeling it off. It was a thing we did....better than sniffing it, right?

I've laughed till some kind of beverage came out of my nose: I usually choke. I haven't done the nose thing since grade school.
Now I know I've curse myself and I'll probably do it tomorrow!

I've had my pants rip/drop in public: Actually...no, I don't think so.

I was born with a disease/impairment: Just my gene pool.
Seriously, this is pretty broad...but I'll say no. Certainly nothing very major.

I've sat in a doctor's office with a friend: Er, with various relatives...not with a friend, I don't think. Have I? Hmmm....

I've had my wisdom teeth removed: Oops, yes. I jumped the gun on this. Yes. They started growing in at age 16, crooked, and had to be pulled. Man, that totally sucked (pun intended); yuk.

I've had a serious surgery: Yep. Which also sucked, but not as much as the teeth thing.

I've had chicken pox: Yep. I didn't even miss school. I managed to be sick during the worst snowstorm of my childhood: the schools closed for a couple of days, there was no electricity, we couldn't leave the house, I had to lie on the couch under several layers of itchy wool blankets to keep warm. I have a couple of scars from that whole experience.
No, not just mental scars.

==Experiences==
I've gotten lost in a city: Uhm, yeah. Mexico City, as a matter of fact.

I've seen a shooting star: Er, I don't remember. Sorry, this is not something I'm particularly inclined to remember.

I've gone out in public in my pajamas: Usually just to collect the newspaper or wave goodbye to Beast or Sparky in the morning. I think I might have worn them to the hospital...or out of the hospital...

I've pushed all the buttons on an elevator: Huh. Not likely. I've been in an elevator with someone who has, though.

I've been to a casino: Yup. At age 17. With my church youth group.

I've played spin the bottle: Nope. It was extremely NOT cool when it was age-appropriate for me; as a result I never understood the point of it until...uh, college, maybe?

I've drank a whole gallon of milk in one hour: Yak! NO!

I've been in a car accident: Minor ones only. [Knock wood--ok, maybe I am superstitious.

I've caught a snowflake on my tongue: Sigh....yes....I love those kinds of snowstorms, and days to enjoy them.

I've sat on a roof top at night: I don't think so. I can't imagine where I would have done this....

I've played a prank on someone: Of course. But nothing mean.

I've ridden in a taxi: Just almost everytime I take the train to the Big City.

I've seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show: Ironically, last night. And a few other times, too. Not till I was in college, though.

I didn't tell someone I loved them when I did: Yes. Regularly.

I've had a crush on a teacher: Of course.

I've hugged a stranger: Yes. Funerals will do that.
