Seven Things

1. I still sleep with my baby blanket. It was a perfect, soft white blanket with smooth satin edging. Now, it is nearly thirty years old, gray and torn in two. Only one tiny corner of the sating edging remains. I cannot sleep without it. When we travel, I keep it in my carry-on bag just in case the airline loses my luggage.

2. I grew up in Nashua, NH and lived in the same house the entire time. During and after college I inhabited a variety of locations, including:
27 Greer Rd. Plymouth, NH
40 S. Main St. Plymouth, NH
1 Prescott St. Nashua, NH
1276 Chestnut St. Manchester, NH

3. When I was a child, I wanted to be a librarian. In fact, I used to skip recess in elementary school so that I could work in the school library, re-shelving books. This early exposure allowed me to work in the city library in high school, re-shelving books, when I should have been out drinking and having sex instead.

4. I bought a pit bull for one hundred bucks from a guy in a trailer park. Typically, the words 'pit bull' and 'trailer park' together in a sentence do not lead to good things, but I lucked out.

5. I can not walk past the bin of used books at the supermarket without buying some. I have more books than I could read in a lifetime, but I cannot stop buying more. I suppose this isn't so bad. It could be meth.

6. I once won tickets to a kickboxing event in a strip club contest. Totally worth it.

7. I love fast food. When I travel out of state, I always make a concerted effort to visit new and different fast food restaurants. I take pictures of my food and record my experiences at each new stop.
