6 odd things about myself. Is that ALL?
Ok. I will respond to the "Tagged" blog that Andie included me in, but I'm not tagging anyone else. Oh! Wait! I don't know anyone else to tag.
Here Goes:
1. When I was younger (6 or 7)I used to tell my grandmother, Josephine, who went by "Jo" that I would never let anyone call me that. Well, I haven't been "Josephine" since 5th grade. I was brieftly "Jo Jo," but that ended when highschool started. My eigth grade teacher still calls me "Jo Jo."
2. Before coming an "Art Major," I was a Biology major. I would have done both, but hated practical exams. Not because of the content, just because of the vibe in the room during the test. I secretely collect Human anatomy books and national geographic, and use them for inspiration in my artwork.
3. In gradeschool, I was the kid that always got picked on by the popular kids. So in highschool, I was the kid that was president of the class twice, and decided not to run in my senior year because I needed to get a job. And played a bunch of sports. I guess I turned the tables, and it was all a downhill slide from there. Not the shy, insecure little 5th grader that totally botched a speech infront of the entire student body when running for VP of the Student Govt. ANYMORE!
4. I went to the Junior Olympics to compete in swimming. My brother broke the back stroke record. I placed in freestyle, but was DQ'd in the breast stroke.
5. I won the "Keep Christ in Christmas" illustration contest every year for 3 years in grade school. Each year you had to do a drawing that captured the concept. I still have the savings bonds that I got for winning. (Andie, don't fall out of your chair. I know you just recently found out that I was raised Catholic, and remembered all of the rules.)
6. I was nominated and won the Daughters of the American Revolution Citizenship award in 1991, and placed 1st place in a sience fair with a project that tested the levels of electrical conductivity through tap water versus salt water, that same year.
