5 things, etc.

Jason has tagged a few of us with this five-things-you-don't-know-about-me meme.

Obviously, an exercise in knowing how much to show without getting in trouble. Kind of like striptease, maybe?

1. ...was prom king in high school.
2. ...am incapable of walking across campus without completing this one little OCD tic.
3. ...watch way more television than seems appropriate.
4. ...am a comparatively slow reader.
5. ...was pretty much written off as a newborn. My parents were told not to hold out much hope. (I don't mean to take this last one lightly, and it's likely that the sentence fragment approach comes of as flip. I have long been told that I had heart failure, and the story was repeatedly pretty regularly. Doctors explained that the odds of my survival were very very low, but I apparently wound up under the care of an uncommonly good neonatal physician who made it happen, much to my relief. As a fifteen-year old, this biographical note was easily picked up for all too obvious ends - the high drama of adolescent self importance, e.g. Now, it's a story with different valences).

So, I'll tag Alianora, now.
