1. Have you ever camped out in a tent? Describe.

Lots of times - it is usually good, but once we got soaking wet due to not putting the groundsheet on correctly.

2. Can you swim? How did you learn?

Yes - I was 12 years old and taught myself using this weird styrofoam thing that you strapped on to your back.

3. Have you ever toured a famous person's home? Whose?

Hmm - Edinburgh Castle in Scotland I guess (but to be honest I do not know which famous people/person lived there in the past).:m_shy::m_whatwhat::a11:

4. What SK character do you think would be enjoyable to chat with on the SKMB?

The girl from Big Driver - she sounds like she has 'balls'.

8. If your dwelling were on fire, and you had time to grab one item (nonliving) before escaping, what would it be?

It would be the jam dish my Mom gave me - when she brought it to Canada in 1946 it was already 80 years old at that time.

9. Have you ever experienced a "life-changing" event? Tell us.

I think going to basic training for the military in 1980 made me realize I could do a lot of things.

1. Have you ever camped out in a tent? Describe.
Many times!
2. Can you swim? How did you learn?
Some. A friend taught me to swim underwater when I was in high school and I took swimming class in college. More comfortable in a pool than open water.
3. Have you ever toured a famous person's home? Whose?
Nope
4. What SK character do you think would be enjoyable to chat with on the SKMB?
Delores Claiborne or Eddie Dean
5. If Stephen King were reading posts on this board incognito, what username do you think he'd choose?
Angus
6. What type of physical characteristics are you most attracted to? (i.e., dark or light hair, redhead, eye color, dark- or light-complexioned, etc.)
Dark hair, light skin. My theory is that maybe it's because my family are all dark blonde/tan easily. You like what is different :)
7. Did you ever pretend to be sick to get out of something like school, etc? Describe.
Yeah. I still do it, sometimes *ashamed of myself*. I'm a hermit, by nature, and sometimes the thought of social interaction drains me.
8. If your dwelling were on fire, and you had time to grab one item (nonliving) before escaping, what would it be?
Can I have 2? Shoes and the folder with everyone's identifying information (SS cards, birth certificates, marriage license, etc.).
9. Have you ever experienced a "life-changing" event? Tell us.
2 biggies: 1) meeting my husband. I never thought I'd ever get married, let alone have kids. I learned to never say never, and that love is more than a theoretical possibility. 2) when my dad and brother died within 6 mos. of each other. Dark, dark time. I lost a few years there (I quite literally have almost no memory of the 2 years afterward), but I learned that I'm stronger than I thought I was. I had my tussle with God and learned a lot about myself, my place, and what is really important between us. The Man and our kids played a big part, too: I wasn't the best mom or wife through my fog, but they stuck with me; without them I likely wouldn't be here at all.
10. If you had the chance to do it all again, tell me, would you? Could you?
Nah. I've read too much time travel to think 'do overs' are a good idea. As paper_is_sweet said, I might mess up the good stuff trying to change the bad. :) (And nice THE WAY WE WERE reference, danie :D)
