Because my life has come to a screeching halt and I have nothing else to write about, here are
25 (1 sentence) THINGS ABOUT ME (in no particular order):
25. I have lived in Florida most of my life.24. I got two Ds in college, both in computer programming courses.
23. The first computer I personally owned was a Mac Quadra 605 (160 MB hard drive; started out with 8 MB of RAM, eventually maxed it out at 128MB).
22. I have been obese most of my life.
21. I was a tomboy growing up, much preferring to play Hot Wheels, video games and sports the with guys.
20. Despite that, my one girlie pleasure was Barbies; my sister and I shared a huge collection that included all of the most expensive and ridiculous accessories.
19. I rarely get lost.
18. Rice pudding repulses me.
17. Although I'm a technophile, I did not own a DVD player until this past Christmas.
16. My most embarrassing drunken experience was when two men -- one a friend, another a stranger -- had to carry me out of a club slung over their shoulders because I was lying on the ground near the dance floor.
15. I was one of two or three people in my high school class who did not own a car.
14. My family and closest, oldest friends call me Lynn.
13. I dated my rowing coach in college.
12. Not knowing how far it was, me, my ex-boyfriend and one of our friends once foolishly drove to Key West for a weekend.
11. I witnessed the shuttle Challenger blow up, and before it was destroyed, I had seen the World Trade Center.
10. People often mistake me and my sister for twins, even though I am more than three years older than her.
9. I love long, straight hair.
8. My sister and I sound exactly alike on the phone.
7. My last apartment had no heater, and to generate heat, I would keep the kitchen stove's burners running or turn on the oven (it didn't help much).
6. I am not big on birthdays, anniversaries or holidays, but I love Christmastime.
5. I played the violin for a year and a half in grade school and have taken guitar lessons.
4. I have never broken a bone or stayed overnight in a hospital.
3. I played tight end in a high school powder puff football game; I was never given the ball.
2. I have been in two fistfights, both with boys.
1. I used to take spoons from restaurants for no reason and once had a huge silverware tray full of them.

We don't get mistaken for twins anymore, but your rowing crew said it was "obvious" we were sisters. Maybe I should try to not be obese now, too, and we'll move back into Twin territory? Oh and you'll have to grow about 2 or 3 inches in height.

Well I didn't say that I'm currently obese!
I was a very fat kid. I guess I should have phrased it that way...
