6 insignificant things about me

Since Erin challenged me to do this and since she is most likely to be the only one who reads this blog, I'll do it. Here are 6 insignificant things about kristin:

1. I have never broken a bone, but when I was 8 my appendix exploded. My parents thought I just had the flu, and finally my mom took me to the doctor. He told her, "I don't want to make you feel bad, but your daughter's appendix has ruptured; we need to get her into surgery right away."

2. Speaking of surgery, I had plastic surgery my freshman year of college on my ears to make them not stick out. My uncle is a plastic surgeon and he did it for free. I have not regretted it even once.

3. I like the smell of cigarettes and pipe smoke. It reminds me of baseball games and amusement parks.

4. My elbows are double jointed. Or perhaps "super-jointed". I don't know. But they can bend into an obtuse angle the wrong way and it frequently creeps people out.

5. These are the states I have NOT been to: Alaska, Hawaii, North Dakota, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire.

6. These are the things Erin said I should include:
a. My greatest wish in life is to become a professional pirate - on the high seas.
b. I buy books like it's going out of style. I just love books. More than I love most people.
c. I'm almost short enough to be considered handicapped. (ps. This is not true. I am well over 5 feet tall. Like at least 3 and 3/8 of an inch taller.)
