I am deathly allergic to cats. I had allergy testing done when I was a teenager and my reaction to the skin tests was so bad, they wouldn’t give me the allergy shot thinking it would cause me to go into seizures. It got better as I was on the shots, but once I got off them, it got worse again. Eyes swell shut, I can’t breathe, etc. Which sucks, because I do like cats. Dogs aren’t as bad, thankfully.
I was in an accelerated math program when I was in middle school, which put me a grade level ahead, at a minimum, of the other kids in my grade. I passed the AP Calc exam as a junior in high school and the AP Stats exam as a senior (I could have taken the next level calc instead, but that required me to go off campus to a local college, which wasn’t an option for various reasons), so I didn’t have to take any math in college.
I was a vegan for 5 years, and a vegetarian for another year. It started as an experiment to see if not eating dairy would help with stomach issues I was having (it did), and evolved to me going full vegan. I went back to eating meat two years ago for multiple reasons, but I still love eating animal free food. Also, the vegan chocolate chip cookies I make are THE BEST.
I was born in Arizona and we moved to Florida when I was in kindergarten. I don’t have a lot of memories of Arizona, but I do remember one Christmas, when I was about 3 or 4, where we got snow and I built a snowman with my dad.
I broke my foot when I was 15, just a few weeks shy of my 16th birthday, cutting the lunch line at school, hopping over the railing. My grandma insisted I had just stubbed my toe, even though my whole foot was purple and swollen, and made me go to softball practice that day. My mom, who is a nurse, was not happy when she saw my foot and immediately took me to the emergency room. It still gives me problems.
I am really really good at the game Taboo.
