1. When I was a teenager, I strongly identified with a lot of the gay scene boys. I don't know why, but I just liked the guys a lot and in some ways wanted to emulate them.
2. I entered a badminton tournament when I was in Grade 6. Me and my partner won all the matches, and then got to the last one - two 4 year old Asian girls. They destroyed us and they laughed.
3. I started learning to speak Norwegian in high school.
4. My first crush was on my 8th grade English teacher, and I used to listen to Vince Gill and think about her.
5. I had a guy like me in high school, who used to take me out for lunch and movies. Sometimes we'd hit up CD stores. I never realized he wanted more, and when I realized, I got scared and stood him up at a movie. He waited two hours for me. I still feel bad.
6. One time a girl and I broke into the school early in the morning because we heard a rumour that there were secret passageways. I won't lie, I was hoping we'd end up making out (we didn't).
7. I was an alter server at my church for almost 10 years.
8. I learned how to read at the age of 3.
9. I used to tie my hair back every day, because I was scared that my long hair would look too greasy.
10. I used to be very active on a music website, and it was the only thing that kept me going. Partly for the friends, partly because it introduced me to heavy metal, which has always been my "safe place."
