Many moons ago I was going to write the great Canadian novel. I have countless notebooks, files and floppy disks filled with outlines, notes, character studies, beginnings, endings and various bits and pieces of my killer first novel.

I joined writers groups and took classes. I’m a voracious reader. I know how a novel is supposed to work. How hard could it be to pound them out? Ah to be young and idealistic. I have published some short stories and a couple of poems and who knows, I might get back to that novel one day.  My focus has changed since then. I simply enjoy writing and for now that’s enough.

In one of those distant classes we were supposed to come up with 100 things that describe a main character.  The theory was that even if you only used a fraction of that information in your novel, it would give you a better understanding of who s/he was and you would have stronger more believable characters.

I’d never thought about writing a list like that for myself before, but I noticed Tess over at Urban Gypsy  had done one and it made her more believable and it altered how I read her blog.

So at the risk of seeming self-absorbed,  here’s my list of 99 things about me:

1. I was born in 1963.
2. I am a proud Canadian.
3. When I was 15, I watched an uncle die of cancer on Christmas morning.
4. I’m not a big fan of Christmas.
5. I’m a fanatic non-smoker.
6. I was a heavy pot smoker for 10 years. (somehow that was ok)
7. I loved hallucinogens. (past tense)
8. In high school I was voted ‘most likely to die choking on his own vomit’.
9. I thought I’d be dead by 30. (so did lots of other people)
10. I still drink (micro brews), but rarely to access. (rye & ginger)
11. I was 17 the first time I asked for a vasectomy. (The doctor refused)
12. I got fixed right after my son (now 10yrs old) was born.
13. My 10-year relationship with his mother ended soon after that.
14. I LOVE being a Dad.
15. I wish he lived with me full time.
16. I have been a ‘scratch’ baker since 1981.
17. I worry that my body won’t hold up to the demands of another 20yrs of baking.
18. I’ve been at the same shop since 1988.
19. I make awesome bread. (More then 60 varieties)
20. I work straight graveyard shifts.
21. I got married for the first (and only) time in June 2004.
22. We met in person 11/11/01.
23. Her 17 yr old son lives with us.
24. She proposed to me on her knee in a restaurant with my Dad’s wedding ring.
25. My Dad died in 1994. So did my granny.

   Wow…simply fascinating. I am getting ready to publish “100 Things About Me” at my professional website in the very near future. Mine is so blah compared to yours. Thank you so much for your honesty. I very well might blog about this list if you wouldn’t mind. I talk with a lot of CDs, sissies or whatever the nomenclature du jour is. And other callers just don’t get how real and NOT WEIRD you guys are. I’d love to share you with my readers.

   Keep it up…great blog. Angela

    funny stuff. this list has been up for 2 yrs and nobody has asked that.
    the hospital in the town i grew up in was at the bottom of a long steep hill. the ‘hospital zone’ was 30 mph and the police often had radar up. they clocked me at 38mph.
    the cop thought it was kinda funny…said it was a good thing i did that in front of a hospital and gave me a written warning. so technically not a ticket, but still, i was darn proud of it!
