7 Things About Me; the teenage years

Scribbit tagged me to do this meme last week, so I am going to be extra tricky and combine memes now, plus do a little extra at the bottom, and we'll be all square. 7 Things About Me; the teenage years 1) England/Canada When I was 15, I saved up all my pay from McDonalds to go overseas. My parents put up the other half because, frankly, they never thought I'd ever save as much as I did, and I guess they were kind of proud of me. I went with my grandmother. As she still says, if it wasn't for me, she'd still be roaming a Thailand airport, lost. It wasn't the first time I went to England, but it was the first time I went to Canada -Parksville, Vancouver Island, to be exact. 2) Bullying Yep, for the first few years of my high-school life. It was miserable. I despise bullies now. 3) Discovered my passion I didn't know how, or why, but I knew I wanted 'something' to do with the written word for the rest of my life. First, I was going to go to AFTRS, but I couldn't get in until after 21, so I went to university to do communications. Until I changed my mind again. 4) Met Adam Ah yes, the most important part of the list (so says him). I'll have known him ten years come the end of the month. 5) There is a pain worse than childbirth And that pain is a burst Ovarian Cyst. I was 17. It was agony. 6) Dicky Driver's Test In Australia, there is your "L" component you're eligible to take once you turn 16. It is strictly a written/academic exam, taken off a computer, with multiple choice answers. It's not that hard: still, it took me five (yes, FIVE) times to pass it. My father was truly ashamed. As was I. Mind, when I went for my "P"'s (a practical exam where you drive and put the general population as risk) a year later, I passed first time, easy. 7)I can't think of anything else! (anything else that's not too depressing, anyway!) My family who knows me can 'fill in the blanks' in the comments section if they want. I'm supposed to 'tag' people to do this. I don't know who to tag! So please, take the initiative, and do it yourself. Tell me too, so I can come visit! And to fill in the rest of the '13', here's six things I need to over the weekend: 1) Do that article draft for magazine 2) Clean bathrooms (yuk) 3) Make dinners for week ahead and freeze 4) Do drafts (if possible) or mind map for two more article ideas I have 5) Think about BlogRhet and what part I'll play in it 6) Decide whether I'll go to Problogger's meetup in the city next week. I'd love to, but I am a wus and hate leaving the kids!!
