10. I hated running the mile but loved timed muliplication tests.
9. I used to sing into a hairbrush, in school, during music thinking no one was watching. (They were.)
8. I hung around my parents Bridge group past my bedtime in an attempt to pick up Bridge. I argued my way onto the family Sheepshead table as a kid and won. Often.

7. Favorite Toys: Legos (ok also Breyer Horses and Barbies, but I can't always bat 1000 can I?)
6. Mom wrote code for our first little Mac computer we had to give me a random number generator math game.
5. I read the Hobbit in 6th grade for the first time on a trip to France. This is not remarkable in and of itself but during the 3 week trip I read it 5 times. (Yes, I had two other books with me.) (Yes, I read those too.) (You think that is bad my Dad figured out the Runes).
4. I was a bit jealous of my sister's glasses. Also her grades.
3. Watched Star Trek: TNG every week with my Mom. Had a crush on Wil Weaton.
Watched Seaquest DSV every week with my Mom. Had a crush on Jonathan Brandis.
Watched Deep Space Nine ever week with my Mom. Had a crush on Alexander Siddig.
2. Favorite TV shows growing up: Reading Rainbow and 3-2-1 Contact. Reading and Math. Fun stuff.
1. Had a major argument with her 6th grade crush about which one of them would reach Mars first. (Hint: The CORRECT answer was me! Booyah!) (Yeah, still working on that one. Do you think they need theologians on Mars?)

Yeah, 10, 7, 3, and 2. (Definitely 3!)
You were jealous of my glasses? Really?
Actually I figured out the runes, not Elvish.
Sorry Dad! I fixed it now. Silly me!
Love it! I totally forgot about 3-2-1 contact! LOVED THAT SHOW! You know, we had a lot of similarities, but I didn't like those shows. I pretended my eyesight was bad so I could get glasses. LOL
Oh, and also - LIVED for timed multiplication tests. Do you remember Number Munchers? That was such an awesome game on the computer for math junkies.
I totally, totally had a crush on Wil.
I had the same crushes. All three of them. My brother made fun of me.
Ha ha! I remember the argument about Mars, and am happy, after these many years to cede my spot on the red planet. I suppose the Martians might be more enthusiastic about a Lutheran theologian than a Mormon chemist anyway!

You crack me up - I don't think of you as a major geek. :)
I hated running the mile too, but timed multiplication tests were FANTASTIC!
I still hate running, but like walking. Some people are thoroughbreds and can run...others are plowhorses and walk...I'm a plowhorse...but a plowhorse can walk longer than a thoroughbred can run. :)
