And another survey stolen from Joe
When I was little...... cool survey!
1. What was the first car your family had?
I remember a old brown station wagon, replaced with a maron mini-van.
2. What was the name of your first pet?
Spiffy, the definition and essence of cool pet, especially dogs. A cocker spaniel/pug mix, she was part of our family before I was (by like a week)
3. How did your first pet die?
I don't want to talk about it.
4. What was the name of your elementary school?
Octorara Elementary School
5. Who was your first best friend(s)?
um....most of my friends were imaginary until like first grade. But after that, I'd say Kiley Schroder for most of elementary school. Then middle school brought an onslaught of best friends and worst enemies (sometimes the same girls)
6. Are you still friends today, and if not, what happened?
I'm still in touch with Kiley. But I'm still very good friend with two surviving middle school friends, Aurora and Amanda.
7. What was your favorite board game?
OH, we had some wild times with the Ouija board. My family played Monopoly (Lauren cheated) and Life (Lauren cheated)
8. Did you play house or other make believe games?
I lived in my own imaginary little world. But I really don't remember any house.
9. Were you a Dungeons and Dragons geek?
My brother was and I thought it was the coolest thing even though I was too young to understand it. I played it in college a few times. Then I understood how incredibly uncool and dorky my big brother actually was.
10. Did you sleep with stuffed animals as a kid?
Oh yea
11. Do you still sleep with stuffed animals?
Yes sir, Musty has been my loyal bed mate since I was 6 or 7. Hope Anne tries to steal him/her all the time. That stuffed dog is the only thing is the only thing of mine she is not allowed to have.

My sister (when she wasn't being mean and cheating at Monopoly)

21. Were you clumsy when you were younger?
Yes and very messy. Still kinda am.

Yep, although they yelled more.
32. Did your parents fight a lot when you were a kid?

16, Bill Jones, now a state trooper, bought beer at the Hill Top Pub on Rt.41. I still think of that every time I drive past. Oh, he also said he was really 19 and just had a good fake. He was actually 22 and a total scuzzball. He's a cop now.
