Thursday Thirteen - MY FIRST
 |
1. I have lived in four distinct areas of the United States (nearly a four corners pattern): Midwest (Indiana), Southeast (Florida), Pacific Northwest (Washington), and the Desert Southwest (Arizona). 2. I am my parents’ only US-born daughter. 3. I am the youngest of five daughters. 4. I married an oldest child of four. 5. I am a mezzo soprano, but I can sing contralto as well. 6. I have three college degrees, but sometimes I’m embarrassed to say that. 7. I’ve become much more introverted in the past five years; I love being alone more and more often. 8. I’m frequently assumed to be ten years younger than I truly am. Being part Asian and having lots of fat cells in the face probably help with that. 9. I am a published writer, but I haven’t had anything professionally published in several months. 10. I used to crave attention and praise; now I get embarrassed by it. 11. I did some very shameful things in my late teens and early 20s, things that would shock most people who know me now. 12. I saved someone’s life once. 13. I was homeless for a short period while I was attending undergraduate school. I lived in my car and also slept on friends’ floors and couches. Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1. The Pink Diary 2.

Great TT
Wow. The fat cells in the face made me laugh...& haven't we ALL done things we shouldn't have??
Happy TT!
Great TT. It's always great to learn about other peoples lives.
WOW Songbird... Very nice TT... Thanks for letting me know you better.
Wow...you sound like a very interesting person! Welcome to the world of TT. My list is up too!
It sounds like you lived a little...actually a lot. You even lived close to me at one time (Oregon). Must have been tough being homeless in college.
Great list, I am going to use the fat cells in my face excuse for looking younger too!! Happy TT!
A wonderful list... I enjoyed it a lot. I´d love to hear you singing... Thanks for sharing!
Happy TT from Germany,
S.
Hmmmm...I'm intrigued by #11! I've also lived in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon) and presently in the Desert (Southern AZ).
#11 and #13 - I can totally relate.
I'm not sure anyone really "knew" I was homeless...maybe they just thought I was into sleepovers!
Welcome to the Thirteen. That's a good list! In what fields are your three degrees?
Wow! Who knew a TT list could generate so much traffic? I guess quite a few of you wandered over from The Couch, so I thank you.
Thanks y'all for the kudos. Glad the fat cells reference went over well.
Daddy Forever: Yes, it was challenging to be homeless while in college, but I was working three jobs, in addition to carrying a 3/4 load, and rarely had down time, so I guess I just made it work. That is, until I totalled my car and then had NO place to hang my head! That's when The Ex came into my life.
Sanni: Nice of you to want to hear my singing, but I can't say whether or not it would appeal to you. Perhaps I'll get a chance to get a recording of me and then I'll post it here.
OliviaDiane: The intriguing part of #11 comes in spending much of my teen and early college years living in bohemian South Florida. When I moved back to staid Indiana, I didn't curtail my "free-spirited" nature very much. Loved your photos of autumn in SoAZ - I live in Central AZ.
Tiggerlane: We must be living parallel lives, although I'm not in the process of building my dream home or any home. I am pondering some home improvements, however. The sleeopover comment made me giggle; that's how I had to approach it sometimes when I was searching for a night's lodging. I had a few gay guy friends then who loved to have me over for drinks and chitchat.
Laughing Muse: My degrees are in the following fields: Music/Voice Performance, English Literature and Composition (minor in Communications and Public Relations), and a Master of Business Administration. I like to learn lots of new things, and the MBA was really more of a personal challenge rather than for any ultimate career goal.
Welcome to the TT :)
So . . saved someone's life, huh??
Impressive!! Do tell!!!
Erik
Welcome to Thursday 13! I saw Desert, and thought AZ immediately!! It was good to get to know you better!
Have a Fun Weekend!
Your family gatherings much be huge . . . and lots of fun!
Welcome to the TT family, nice to meet you here!
My TT is about past life regression.
Happy Thanksgiving and Happy TT!
I hear you on #3 - & Whoohoo your a hero, saving someones life must've been one of the greatest feeling there is!
Oh, by the way I'm here via Sparky Duck.
