I have been "tagged"

Workplace friend Matt tagged me on his blog a couple weeks ago, which I did not discover until just now. This "tag" means that I have to list 5 things that most people do not know about me.

Here it goes.

1. I peed the bed until I was in 5th grade. I think I had a bladder problem.

2. My friend Julia and I, in 2nd grade, spent about a month planning a run-a-way from home. We thought it would be fun and exciting. So, after careful planning...the weekend came that I would sleepover at her house and we would run away. We would wear disguises and no one would ever find us. It would be important that not even her mom would be able to tell who we were, because we would probably need to go into her mom's work to periodically ask for some money because after a while, as run-aways we would get hungry.
So at the sleepover, after playing with our American Girl Dolls, I woke her up after she had fallen asleep to see if she still wanted to run away, she said "Uhhh...we probably shouldn't." So we didn't. And that's good. Which brings me to...

3. When I was in seventh grade, my friend talked me into sneaking out of my house one night. I lasted 5 minutes and ran home because I was scared. That was my only time ever sneaking out. I was pretty much totally scared to get in trouble for many years of my youth.

4. I was in two school plays when I was a senior in high school. One, was Shakespeare's The Twelfh Night, and the other one was Barefoot In The Park, by Neil Simon. I was lead in both, and in Barefoot I was nominated for a state-wide high school Best Actress award. I didn't win.

5. My arms: both are double jointed and can twist weirdly. It use to gross people out in elementary school. I don't know if they are as bad now as they used to be. Wait, hold on...I will check. Naa, they are just mildly weird now. AND, I broke my left arm playing soccer on my bike in 3rd grade. So, I had to go to swimming lessons with a plastic bag over my cast, which would sink everytime I did a breast stroke with that arm.
