hmmm...let's see...

1) I scored a 28 on the ACT (34 on the English portion.) Sadly, I didn't really do anything with that.

2) I originally went to college to be a nurse. Clinicals were too rough on me, though... I had a very hard time distancing myself from my patients, and it took so much out of me emotionally that I dropped out of the program.

3) I started writing three novels, but haven't finished any of them.

4) I'm terrible around new people. I probably come off as snobby and aloof, but really, I just have no idea what to say.

5) I love airports, and enjoy layovers... but I'm not a big fan of actually flying.

6) Going along with that, I won't sleep on planes. I woke up once just as we hit turbulence, and I seriously thought I was going to die.

7) I'd love a career in wildlife conservation. You know those vacations where you pay money to work, taking care of orphaned lion cubs, or keeping sea turtle eggs safe? Yeah, I want to do that, only for a living.

8) I've lost about 85 pounds in the past 4 years. I've gone from a size 22 to a size 10.

9) I love to swim now... but when I first took swimming lessons, my instructor faked drowning during a lifesaving demo, and it freaked me out so badly, I wouldn't get in the pool again.

10) I don't like diamonds. Which is unfortunate, since that's my birthstone.
