1. I used to be a singer. I was in a group that played… ukuleles<\/a>. Yes. We were actually quite professional, we travelled to hawai’i every year (I went four times), produced several CDs. But… I hated it. I’m not meant to be a professional performer.<\/p>\n

2. I have a scar at the corner of my right eye. When I was little I fell off the couch into the corner of our coffee table, gashed myself pretty good. I’m damn lucky it missed my eye. Den happens to have the same scar on the opposite eye… same reason.<\/p>\n

3. I was a very outgoing child. Because of that my parents opted not to put me in preschool. My brother was very anti-social, so he went to preschool. And in the end both of us are pretty much the same when it come to relating to others, though I have a couple more years experience than he does, obviously.<\/p>\n

4. Up until grade 5 I absolutely hated math. I can’t do anything in my head… multiplication, addition, nothing. So all those times tables drills? They freaking SUCKED. But then in grade 5 we started long division and I loved it! In highschool I got the highest score in the school for the math contests several different years. I love math…. as long as I can write things down and use a calculator. But trig? Algebra? My FAVORITES. Just don’t ask me what 8×6 is. Just don’t. I’ll cry.<\/p>\n

5. Before I decided to be a computer programmer I was leaning towards pursuing architecture. I took several drafting courses in high school… I really love CAD. When I was younger I used to spend hours looking through the large books of house plans that my aunt always had laying around. I kept a large stash of graph paper and would carefully design houses to scale. It was my “thing.” I still do enjoy doing it, but when you’re dealing with the constraints of a real house (can’t move the foundation) and money (can’t spend much money) and a husband (he doesn’t like this or that) it is a LOT more frustrating.<\/p>\n

6. I started programming very young… must have been when I was 11 or 12. I got this little “computer” game thingie, and one of its “games” was BASIC. It had a little instruction booklet about how to code it to do things: prompt you for answers, string them together, make decisions, spit out answers. It was so cool! Unfortunately the computer did not have a memory you could save to, so that killed my desire pretty quick. If I had been able to save what I was doing I probably would have created something crazy.<\/p>\n

And, all my readers are tagged. I just don’t do the tagging thing. (Sorry. Or you’re welcome… which ever.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
