8 things (this is for DA but i got nothin today)
1. most people don't notice but i walk with a slight limp - i was hit by a car when i was 15.
2. since i was born my address has changed 23 times.
3. the nickname pappy was given to me when i was born by my brother paul who is 14months older than me - it derived from pabby (baby patrick) to pappy and has stuck, no one in my family ever calls me patrick. my mom told me a few years ago that she wasn't really sold on the name and origianlly i was supposed to be mark but when i was born both her and my dad were like ummm yeah he doesn't look like a mark so we need to put something down on this sheet and one of the doctors names was patrick so whala (i have this crazy image in my head of my dad filling out forms looking at me or holding me up going hey judy this kid doesn't look like a mark, what do i do here on the line where it says name, then this doctor stolls by whistling PATRICK on his name tag. "Hey Judy never mind i got this one.") - then when the pappy thing came along she was like that is so much better (it fits), her version of my name was happy pappy - i was a happy child - baby - even teenager, and now adult. jesus did you really want to know all that, well now you do.
4. from 1st through 4th grade i was in LD classes (for the stoopid kids), from 5th through 12th i was in accelerated classes.
5. i have a notebook and pen with me at all times, i even keep one next to my bed, i like to write down lists or things i want to shoot or things i think are funny and want to remember, and sometimes i even take notes on other peoples conversations.
6. my birthday is october 24th, the libra scorpio cusp, my mother is a scorpio and none of her other children are, i was born 2 weeks late, im convinced my mother held onto me for two weeks and then on the cut off day was like - sheeeeww we's havin a baby and he's gon be a scorpio. my grandmother was a scorpio. most of my best friends are either libras or scorpios. im bi-stroligical.
6 1/2 i love to make up words
7. i have the smell of my late grandmother in a ziploc bag.
8. my mother randomly calls me and all she says is "make me laugh pappy". (can you tell ima mamas boy)
