Sarah: Things you might not know and perhaps still wish you didn't.
A few things the internet may not already know about me:
1. I usually misspell "magic" on my first try. It's a small, common, simply-spelled word, and yet I almost always use a "j" on my first try. Embarrassing, I know. I'm getting better.
2. I agonize over social blunders for years after the fact. I was once extremely obnoxious and refused to leave the band room (yes, and geeky. I also had braces that year.) after school when I was in the 7th grade. The 9th grade boy in charge of making everyone leave was understandably annoyed. I think his name was Carson. I've been feeling guilty and stupid about it ever since.
3. I have scoliosis. It's a very minor case and no one but my mom has ever noticed it without having it pointed out to them, but I think about my curved spine several times each day. I think I was one of few girls more freaked out by the back brace in Deenie than by the pink plastic belts described in Are You There God, It's Me, Margaret.
A few conversations this week:
1. Over 27 minutes on the phone, after hours, with a work contact, wherein she related a detailed history of the back pain she has felt since her car accident, the related visits she has made to various doctors and chiropractors, and the suits she intends to file. She also said "boob" five times. I was not ready for this call.
2. Sarah: I just took a dress that Nora spit up on to the dry cleaner. And then realized that the spot I pointed out probably looked like semen. Classy.
Mallory: Ha! You skank!
Sarah: As soon as he wrote 'soiled' on my ticket, I felt so cheap.
Ha! I am so glad that you posted those text messages.

Posted by: Jeremy on April 2, 2008 09:41 AMHa Ha! Every time I hear Scoliosis I think of that Episode of "The Office" where Michael tells Phylis "we aren't talking about a Womans Disease."
And I cant say the word "Orange" I think thats worse than a Typo since everyone can hear you say it and your cant use white out to get rid of it! I sounds like "Ohww-Wange." Its terrible!! Jeremy teases me :(
Posted by: Jen on April 7, 2008 06:45 PMHow would you know what a spot of semen looks like, Sarah?
Posted by: Mom on April 18, 2008 12:06 PMHee. It's what I IMAGINE it would look like, of course. Plus, I thought everyone knew about the wealth of CSI knowledge that I have gleaned from television. Semen is a heavily featured clue.
