tagged!

I've been 'tagged'! by my friend Rania to do '5 things'.
The rules are as follows:
1. someone tags you,
2. you post five things about yourself that you haven’t already mentioned on your blog,
3. you tag people you’d like to know more about.

This is me as a Brownie. I look like a total jerk and that Sprite is huge. Oh, I am on the left.

1. I got kicked out of girl scouts as a kid. The details of this event are shadowy in my mind. But I think I remember I yelled at the troup leader and used bad language. I didn't like the way she treated her daughter, who was also in the troup. I remember being told to go change out of my uniform because I didn't deserve to wear it. Girl Scouts was rad for me as a kid because I got to see how other people lived. I remember going on a camping trip where the troup leaders made us stuffed peppers for a meal. I couldn't figure out where the meat was and how I was supposed to just eat a pepper.

2. I am a college drop out. This plagued me for the longest time. Crazy bad nightmares about being in class. I was going to school for journalism, had 3 jobs, ran the school magazine, had crazy personal problems that involved boys. I was the first person in my family to go to college, was paying my own way, it was hard. So, in my junior year, I totally had a melt down and dropped out. I am glad I did this. I would not be happy as a journalist. It is an ugly profession in my opinion. I don't believe in working long hours away from my family and as the kind of journalist I wanted to be, I would have had to. I also don't have student loans and everyone always assumes you have finished college anyway.

3. In college I dated a magician. He was other things, too, but how many people can say that?

4. Before I Like Seamonsters, Jeff and I had a record label and a zine. I also used to take pictures of trash and collect old photos of girls with their dogs. I can't believe I spent so much time on these things.

5. With the weight loss, it is becoming more and more obvious that my right boob is way bigger than the left. This is driving me crazy. Seriously, it is like someone else's boob. I look a lot like my greatgrandmother and I wonder alot if she had the same problem. The picture below is of her at 16 or so, and she looks pretty even. Speaking of boobs, for some reason I have started to call the girls, "boobs." I think it is because Anya is always bigger than Rachi. It is like a collective nickname.

Ok! I tag the following people: Matt D., Wendy Circle Circle Dot Dot, Korallin, Suzy Focoloco and Joy Charming Vices.

Oh my! I'm tagged. Ok I will think of something. :)

har har har! i was just about to do a blog entry! well, now I know what it'll be about! :)

The coke cans in Israel still look like the vintage numbers in your picture.

I met you at craft bastards last year and just discovered your blog while milling around the internet. Just popped in to say hey and that I love reading your entries!

Loved your entry. Feel a little out of the loop, not having been tagged and all. Hope you and yours are well, and congrats on the loss to date!

Boobs are funny things but most people have one some bigger than the other! i guess Anya and Rachel can be 'boobs' because they are always together too:)
