Five Things You Probably Didn't Know About Me

1. Biggest pet peeve regarding talking about my disability? People hitting me in the leg and asking "did you feel that?" Yeah. It happens. Yes. I felt it.


2.  I went to show choir camp in 1994. Complete with jazz hands. I think I was the first person in a wheelchair to ever attend, but don't quote me on that. Our choreographer, Kye Brackett was awesome. I think he had to change almost ALL of the choreography to better include me and feature more arm movements, and I loved every minute of it. I'd go back now if they'd let me!


3.  When I was around 11 years old, I got a letter back from one of those magazine art school ads. They said if I'd been 18, I would have been accepted. They should probably know that I traced the picture of the turtle. 


 4. Matt and I met online, in an AOL chat room called "Disaffected" (ha!), in 1997. We didn't meet in person until 1999, in Disneyland. The first thing I thought when I saw him? "He's shorter than I thought he would be."



5. I am allergic to rum. This is very sad, many delicious sounding drinks are made with rum. It is entirely too painful of a reaction to just suffer through it.

Aren't you so glad to know these things?
