yah
Let's see. My real name is Maryanne _______. I was born a cold snowy day in Bridgeport CT November 25th, 1979. (That makes me 25 years old
) When I was born, my grandmother refused to believe that I had been born already, even though she had been calling my mom for a month straight asking if I had been born. Anywhoo, I lived up there in a two story house, and only memory that I have of that is crawling up the stairs.
My dad's job took us down here to Texas when I was around 1 1/2 years old. Yes, I still say I'm from up north, but only until I lost my accent (more about that later) and gained my light Texas twang. Somewhere in there, I learned to read before my brother Thomas was born.
I can't remember too much from there to kindergarten, I just recall one event. We were in math class, taking a test (1+1= ) and had these stupid red folders propped up around our papers because we were sitting at round tables. The girl next to me dropped her pencil under my chair, and while I went to pick it up for her, she knelt on her chair and looked at my answers. The teacher only saw the part where I was handing back the pencil, and proceeded to write my name on the board. Then she told me not to cheat. (btw, I have a temper when I get really upset) I said I wasn't and it went back and forth. I ended up standing on my chair screaming at her. She cried. I didn't get in trouble for it, because I didn't cheat, I just was not allowed to see the clown assembly (probably the reason I have no desire to see a circus or clowns).
In first grade, we changed to a new school that was built closer to our neighborhood. In second grade, I won 4th place in the school spelling bee. (haha, my spelling is HORRIBLE now) In third grade, I was placed in this program that our school district calls Tier 4, which is basically two grades above or above above grade for math and English. I would be in these classes through sophomore year, seeing as how I didn't take any math or English for the remaining two years. So yes, I guess I am actually smarter than I act
Somewhere in elementary school (I think) my sister Elizabeth and my brother John were born. John was actually born with a rare genetic disease called infantile neural axonal dystrophy (sp?) which essentially is the brain cells overlapping where messages can't get back and forth correctly.\
In 6th grade, I joined the school choir, I had been singing in the church choir since 2nd. I would continue with choir through graduation.
In seventh grade, I got my first "boyfriend". It was more that my friends set us up, because I felt sorry that he fell through a 2" thick window at the school library.
In 8th, my third brother James was born. He has Down Syndrome, but he is very smart and crafty. Troublemaker.
9th grade, I got my first kiss. His name was Scott. Nothing else that I can really remember.
10th and 11th, who knows. Dated some here and there.
12th, I was an athletic trainer. I so wish that I had joined freshman year. Did varsity football and varsity boys' soccer for my two sports. Made lots of friends, got lots of crushes. Graduated 69th in my class ( Seriously.
), good enough for cum laude, with an advanced honors diploma.
I got accepted to Harvard, was gonna study criminal law, but stupid me, I turned it down for a stupid boy. A stupid boy who ended up sleeping with one of the biggest sluts. Yah, so I dated some real winners (note the sarcasm?) after him.
Went to community college for a while, decided not to do criminal law, and couldn't decide what I wanted to do for a career. So, I stopped going to school and work retail (hahaha)
Anywhoo, in September 1999, I met Aaron Scott (goes by Scott) of all places, the mall. (I used to make fun of the teeny boppers that went to the mall to pick up dates.) We had our first date that Sunday, (I sung Gilligan's Island theme to him, that was what won him over about me
) and by our first kiss, I knew he would be the one I would marry.
On our two year anniversary (sept 14th, 2001), Scott proposed to me. We hadn't even talked about marriage, so I was shocked. Later, I found out that if he hadn't declined a job offer for Oregon, we would have been in NYC on Sept 11th.
Anywhoo, three weeks before our wedding, I got mugged. Guy got caught, he's in jail now. That same week, John, my brother died.
We wed on July 27, 2002 (that how I got 727 for my board name)
No, we don't have any children, yet. We are trying to find land to build a house, and get that settled before we start a family. In the meantime, we have our friends' children to "borrow" if we want to care for a child.
Yes, Scott loves to fish. We have a pond at the front of the neighborhood, but I don't fish after sticking a hood accidentally in a poor bass' eye.
Nothing really interesting. I was a house wife for a while, but got bored, and prices of land are going up, so I got a part time job at a pet store.
