snowqueenofhoth. I'll tell 10 things about myself that I expect not one of you knows. If someone knows one thing, you can reveal me and I have to tell one new thing. After this I'll challenge 10 people in my friends-list to do the same in their journal.
This is rather difficult. Not because at least two people know me very well indeed. As I told Rachel on AIM this morning, I have MANY deep and dark secrets of which you know nothing. The problem is that you know nothing of them FOR A REASON. That, and I’m having way too much fun commenting on them myself.
1. At age 8 I appeared in a professional production of As You Like It. I was a balloon girl and a singer. At the time it was the most awesome experience in my long and widely-traveled life.
2.I have junior fiddle competition trophies. Well, one trophy in atrociously bad taste, and then they decided that little medallions were really more in keeping with the budget. One time... no, snowqueenofhoth already knows and would kill me if I told you. My favorite class first semester first year was fencing.
3.I was on my high school’s Academic Decathlon team my senior year. We didn’t have enough people for a full team, but they let us compete individually. It was, as A.C. said at the time, “Mad Wo.” Whatever that means. I used to have pet pillbugs.
4. In 10th grade English I failed the unit on grammar. Irony much? :P
5. I loathe pineapple.
6.I played Miss Hannigan in my school's ill-advised production of Annie. In retrospect, it is clear that this was an early step onto the path to a dark destiny. At one time Flatland was my absolute favorite book in the entire world of bookdom.
7. I once wrote a nauseatingly bad girl-and-horse story. My only excuse is that I was eleven at the time and had not yet met Glory Hymn, the one and almost-only Love of My Girlish Teenaged Life, Destroyer of All Romantic Illusions and Certified Maniac.
8. Speaking of my unspeakably bad writing, I once wrote an entry for the Ayn Rand The Fountainhead essay contest. Over the weekend. Because I was bored. *shrug* It seemed like a good idea at the time.
9.I play background fiddle on an actual CD. My part one of the tracks is horrendously bad. But it is a professional CD and no, I’m not talking about The Night We Had the Goats... For Breakfast, which is made of serious win on at least four tracks. I have a small Periodic Table of the Elements taped to my wall.
10. I still haven't seen Legend.
Um. If you want to, consider yourself tagged.

Knew that you took fencing, but didn't know it was your favorite class. :-)
I thought I knew about the Ayn Rand contest, but perhaps I was thinking of Alice instead. (Not the curly-haired one, someone else I'm not sure you know.)

I think the ending of the phase was the direct result of attending an Ayn Rand conference at MIT during first year, actually.
