- My father calling me when I was in kindergarten to tell me he was getting married. I cried so hard, I just had a bad feeling about the situation. Turns out my feelings were right.
- Living in England when I was around three years old. I remember driving by Big Ben, eating at Pizza Hut, choking on a Lifesaver (ironic), and hiding in the cupboards until my parents found me.
- Playing make believe with my cousins who are pretty much like my brothers. We would play for hours, making up new creatures to be and playing Cowboys and Indians. I was always the Indian princess they had to rescue.
- Christmas at my father's parents' house. The grown ups would never finish their dinner on time, so I and my two cousins would go lay underneath the Christmas tree and watch the lights.
- Me and my cousins putting on a Snow White play one Christmas and not knowing what to do whatsoever. We just stood there and the adults clapped anyawy.
- Nearly drowning in a pool during summer camp. I and a bunch of kids were holding onto this HUUUGE floatie and the kids kept pushing me under the water with their feet so they could stay afloat.
- Rocking out in my car seat to the Smashing Pumpkins, REM, and Aerosmith among other amazing bands on the long car trips to see family when I was little.
- Pulling my first tooth out. My mom had to do it for me, and I refused to see my reflection afterwards because I was scared of the hole my pulled tooth left.
- Hating the song "Torn" by Natalie Imbruglia because it said "lying naked on the floor".
- Somehow knowing what sex was without anyone telling me.
- My first kiss. It was a friend of mine in Biloxi that I used to play with. She and I played Husband and Wife in her closet one day. I was the wife so I sat in the closet, waiting for the girl (whose name I have forgotten) to 'come home'. When she did, she kissed me.
- Accidentally dropping a big glass container of vinegar for dying Easter eggs. It was the one time I have ever been yelled at.
- I'll finish this list with my trip to Germany in 2006. The whole trip was just absolutely amazing, the best experience I have ever had in my short seventeen years of life. That trip is what made me decide I was going to live there in the future and study the german language.
