seven

here are seven obscure facts about me:

1. i was offered a substantial art scholarship to Emily Carr Art College and turned it down.
2. my fingerprints are on file.  i trained with the RCMP in a pilot project of civilians manning wire taps. the project was scrapped.
3. i was a party girl at a department store where i filled corporate toy orders for Christmas parties.
4. my jaw was surgically broken to correct an underbite.
5. when i was a nurse, i was sucker punched in the head by a manic psych patient who then grabbed me by my hair and wouldn’t let go.  it was a lengthy stand-off in a hot room.
6. my Dad was in the RCMP and my Mom was a nurse.  serving society was a family norm. this is a lingering curse.  see item #1.
7. i taught my Mom to swim when she turned 50.
