I have been held up at gunpoint. <\/p>\n<p>2. I have been married 3 times. <\/p>\n<p>3. I lived in France for 3 years. <\/p>\n<p>4. I have been involved with recording 3 records. I&#8217;ve never even heard the last one.<\/p>\n<p>5. I used to be convinced that I would die before I was 40. Apparently I was wrong about that. Maybe I meant in dog years. <\/p>\n<p>6. I have studied 5 different foreign languages: French, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Arabic. <\/p>\n<p>7. I studied Tribal belly dance for 2 years. <\/p>\n<p>8. I am not a sea food fan. <\/p>\n<p>9. I used to hate football. Blame left handed quarterbacks. <\/p>\n<p>10.  I have a thing for pop music. <\/p>\n<p>11. Although I seldom wear it, I love lipstick. Red lipstick. <\/p>\n<p>12. When I die, you should all hope that you are not the ones who have to clean out my house. Not so much because of the clutter but because I have a lot of embarrassing belongings. I don&#8217;t care. I will be dead. <\/p>\n<p>13. I have an ideal death scenario. <\/p>\n<p>14. I have a thing for stripey socks and argyle. Today I am wearing stripey socks and an argyle sweater. They do so go together. <\/p>\n<p>15. I do not feel like anyone else&#8217;s rules about hair brushing or style apply to me. Oh. Wait. You all prolly noticed.<\/p>\n<p>PS: Happy birthday to Robin, who should really be at Sandtime with us.
