The Sarah Project: Day 26 - 15 Things Not Very Many People Know About Me

15 Things Not Very Many People Know About Me

1. I am a published poet. (New Jersey Poet Society - Love Anthology)

2. My favorite novels are those by Sarah Dessen and Penelope Fitzgerald.

3. When I was in elementary school I performed an African dance at a Cultural Assembly. I was also in a talent show that performed for the whole school (2,000 kids). I sang and I danced.

4. In high school, I was in two plays - Shakespeare Goes to Gravel Gulch (a melodrama) and the famous play, Harvey, through Hope Evangelical Free Church.

5. I'm obsessed with goldstone; a synthetic stone made for jewelry.

6. I love the Beach Boys.

7. I have a very very extensive sticker collection. As well as a small, but awesome, ceramic/glass/stone egg collection. (Sadly, both are in storage.)

8. I've co-piloted a small 6-seat airplane from Seattle to San Juan Island in the Puget Sound.

9. I've driven a boat, been deep-sea fishing, and have set, baited, and retrieved crab traps.

10. I've snorkeled frequently in the tropics - I've seen lion fish, sea cucumber, coral reefs, a school of giant angelfish and various other sea creatures.

11. I've touched the twin tours in Kuala Limpur, Malaysia.

12. I treasure most two dried yellow flowers that I have carried around with me in a petri dish since I was twelve years old in Okinawa. They are from the first moment I accepted Jesus into my heart, the first moment I believed in God, and the first time I truly experienced hope.

13. I've ridden an elephant. (Twice)

14.  My first best friend was my puppy, Cleo, whom I got when I was three and she was two. She past away my freshman year of high school, at the age of 14. I loved her very much, and I was very very lonely without her. She was always there for me to cry to.... She saved my life.

15.  I'm actually a very picky eater. I'll compromise and eat whats available when necessary, but when eating on my own I don't eat (because I don't really like) eggs, cake, cheesecake, pork, fried rice, fast food french fries (there are exceptions to that one, but most french fries from chains I don't like), regular sandwiches of any kind, Chinese food (gross), and various other foods.

Sincerely,
Sarah
