Of course I can't prove this stastically other than looking at my own life. but I feel fairly confident that I'm not too far off the mark. Maybe it's an estrogen thing? ... And yes, with Keith gone I could now turn my attentions back to Jonathan. Sigh. I worked that boy for a year - nada. I even found a poem by Wililam Wise ("After the Party") that had his ENTIRE name in it, first AND last, and he wasn't impressed. Or he didn't get it. But, as Katie said, it worked out for the best (it usually does, doesn't it?) And, lest we forget, I scored my first kiss from Jason Harris, and also came in second place at the school spelling be (I spelled "through" as "threw" - I thought I knew it all and rattled it off before hearing the explanation - story of my life), so fourth grade wasn't a total loss!

I wouldn't know because I gave it up long before I could have found out something like that). As for what I did for love (a great Chorus Line song, by the way), well, I quit my job and moved to LA for a guy I'd met twice. Ten years later, it's very much my hometown. The guy? Um, let's just say that twice wasn't enough to make an informed decision...

We're Volleyball-Face Twins! I don't do well with things requiring nets for some reason. Let's see, the worst thing I've ever done for love was to act much dumber than I actually was (um, am). Nearly forgot I knew how to read. I was so determined that I'd never dumb myself down again that I was all prepared to be single for a very long time...and then I met my husband. Who likes me smart. :) Ahhh, love! Oh, Eileen! We’re Volleyball-Face Twins! I don’t do well with things requiring nets for some reason.

And I really sucked at it! I spent two dreadful years struggling with it before I was allowed to give up (then they put me in chorus which I was equally horrible at, but at least I didn't have clean the stupid flute!). As far as crazy things I've done for love... the list seems endless -- cross country moves, stupid haircuts, writing pathetic love poems then reading them in public. Ah, love...
