Confessional meme

I really am a sucker for these things. I saw this one over at Scrivenings. (And I’m further stealing his idea of stashing my answers below the fold.) If you didn’t get enough from my 101-things list, here’s some more that you really didn’t want to know about me.

  1. That was great. I may do it too. I found out my Peanuts character – Lucy. I don’t think that’s right. I was thinking Charlie or maybe Patty, but never Lucy.

  2. Not much of a story in the retelling, Marla, but for you, anything.
    We were playing pick-up basketball, or at least something that resembled basketball in that there were people bouncing and throwing a basketball, but not with a lot of finesse. Yvonne bounced me a pass (neither Yvonne nor I would ever be mistaken for NBA players, or even WNBA players for that matter) and instead of catching the ball firmly in the palms of my hands, it bounced rather uncerimoniously off my outstretched pinky finger.
    I recoiled in surprise, but was about to shake it off when I looked down to see my finger was bent at a 90 degree angle backwards at the first knuckle. I had to ask a friend to yank on it to snap it back into a reasonable facsimilie of straight. I don’t know who was paler by the time it was straight, him or me.
    Since then, I’m not much of a basketball fan. Besides, the sound of those shoes squeaking on the hardwood court is *almost* as bad as the squeak of clean fingers on clean dishes!
