The answers
Here are the answers I'm sure you're dying to know.
1. I was accepted into pharmacy school straight from high school. I was conditionally accepted in the University of Pittsburgh Pharmacy School. I had to maintain a certain GPA. As a result I didn't have to write the silly essays as part of the official application process after my first two years of college.
2. I was president of my local chapter of Phi Eta Sigma, a freshmen honorary society. FALSE - I was elected historian of Phi Eta Sigma, and I did a horrible job of it. :p
3. I can learn to do most crafts and other artsy things on the first try. This is true. People are generally amazed at how quickly I pick up these skills, but I don't often do crafts at home on my own.
4. As a child I occasionally liked to eat cheerios with butter. True, although I have no idea what prompted me to try this. I guess cheerios are bread-esqe.
5. I don't shave my legs. I don't shave my legs, and for many years I did absolutely nothing to remove what little hair I had on my legs. I have virtually no hair on my thighs, and what is there is blond, blonder than the hair on my arms. Within the last year or so, I've used that Veet bladeless razor kit on my lower legs. Quite frankly, I wish I had never decided to shave my legs during a year early in high school; I really think shaving makes the "problem" even worse.
6. In high school I had a streak of blond in my hair of unknown origin, just as my father did. This is true as well. I don't really know where it came from, but I suspect it may have been the result of using hydrogen peroxide to clean my face. My father had this is high school as well, but when he joined the navy they shaved his head, and the streak didn't grow back blond.
7. I once planned to elope. Again, this is true. I thought I was in love with a English man online, and I was going to run away to London to marry him. Things got in the way of that happening, which is fortunate because I was completely out of my mind at the time. And since that time I've slowly realized I don't have some magic power to change and improve people.
8. In kindergarten I played the Grandma in our Little Red Riding Hood play. I did, and I was dang cute.
9. I like my steaks cooked very rare. FALSE - I like my steak well-done, no pinkness for me. Ick!
10. I got over my fear of needles by regularly donating blood. This is true. I guess I didn't really have an overwhelming, panic-inducing fear of needles, but the sight of them poking into me and my own blood made me very lightheaded. The first time I donated blood (as my mother was having surgery) I just about hyperventilated. But I decided it was a good thing for me to donate blood regularly, and so I have, and now I don't really have a problem with them. And I think you should donate blood whenever you have a chance to.
11. I keep a journal of fantasies like that of Reese Witherspoon's character in The Importance of Being Earnest. FALSE - I am very bad at journal keeping and definitely don't have extra time to write down fantasies. That movie is very fun, though.
12. I once got picked to be the assistant from the audience in a magic act. FALSE - but I've really wanted to be picked.
13. I prefer to drink water out of a bottle rather than out of a glass. True, but I have no idea why. Water out of a bottle seems to taste better to me than out of a glass. And this is a plastic water bottle in case you thought I somehow meant a baby's bottle.
14. One of my greatest pet peeves is people who don't stop at the "Stop Here On Red" signs. True, I really hate this.
15. I have a concert shirt from every rock concert I've ever been to. FALSE - I really wish I had a concert shirt from all the concerts I've been to, but I don't. le sigh.
