I've been sort of discovering a lot about myself lately (or realizing how odd some of the things I already knew about myself might seem to the world at large), and while I realize I'm not the most fascinating of topics, at least I am a topic I can write about with some authority. Heh.
1. I'm about one 16th Shawnee, Native American. Not enough to cry when people litter.
2. I have clear memories of potty training and what it was like to wear diapers, even though I was fully potty trained by the age of two.
3. My first favorite color was yellow, because it was like the sunshine. I still like it, but it's one color I don't wear well at all.
4. At this point in my life, I am both an unabashed pervert and a lifelong monogamist.
5. I like to eat comfort food out of giant bowls, with slightly larger than average spoons. I had no idea this was actually a habit until my BIL pointed out that I always seem to eat cereal and macaroni and cheese out of bowls large enough to cover my head. It's true that I do this, but I have no idea why.
Care to share Five Random Things about yourself?

Yellow is a lovely color but hard to wear.
Five random things?
1. When I was little, I thought Beverly was the loveliest name and I wanted to change mine to that. I didn't.
2. I got started in artistic things through Star Wars. I wanted the opening scene of ANH and couldn't find it anywhere. So I taught myself to paint. :) Which led to costuming, quilting and writing.
3. I've been to 48 of the 50 states. Still missing Louisiana and North Dakota.
4. I hated high school with a passion. Went as far as I could away from that place. I realized at my 5th year reunion that it was a very good idea that I left. Those people were still idiots.
5. When I was 35, I vowed that I'd do something different or unusual or daring every year. My first one - taking a hot air balloon ride. I'm terrified of flying and heights but I did it anyway. I've done something cool every year since.

3.You have been around, dear, haven't you? ;) 4. Almost every interesting person I have ever met has not looked back fondly on High School. The people who peaked then are kind of sad. 5. That's awesome! I should try to challenge myself like that each year, too. You inspire me.

I love to travel so I've been to most of the European countries, China and Japan, a bit of Mexico and about a third of the Canadian provinces.
Go for the challenges. They've been a lot of fun. I've eaten reindeer meat and gone kayiking in Alaska, been white-water rafting and hiking in the Colorado Rockies. Been on stage at science fiction conventions in costume and had long discussions about writing with authors. Some years I don't do things that scare me necessarily but intrigue or teach me something. But I like to push the envelope at least once in a while. :)
