Okay Okay... I'll do it...

Posted on Jan 5th, 2007 by Kira : Tea-sipping Treehugger Kira
So now that I've been tagged TWICE with "Five Things You Probably Don't Know About Me," I suppose I'd better get to it. I hope it's not too boring... if so, blame my wonderful friends Gwen and Case. They're the taggers.
Okay, spit-spot, Kira:


1.   Well, I was born in Boulder where I went to Shining Mountain Waldorf School and lived in a world of fairies and gnomes, wooden toys and no television. At this strange school, we spent most of our time drawing pictures of letters in the alphabet rather than reading them, doing Eurythmy in place of P.E.,  taking care of chickens, knitting hats, singing songs, drawing with block crayons (literally square blocks of colored beezwax) and painting with organic all-natural toxic-free paint that smelled like rotten eggs.
If you're wonderfing what made me the weirdo that I am today, I hope this has answered it for you....

2.   When I was three, I broke my leg and knocked my two front teeth out in the same week. At least I got them both done at once! I've always made an effort to be efficient.

3.   I play the Scandinavian fiddle. I used to play in a group and would have to wear full-on costume (vest, wooden shoes, skirt, apron, you name it) for performances. I still remember the songs, but skip the outfit when practicing. (Vests look better on some people than others...).

4.  I danced in a hip-hop group for three years and almost moved to L.A. when I was seventeen to be in music videos. Instead, I chose to stay here and finish highschool... (After all, one doesn't require a move to the big city in order to shake her booty; All the tools are right behind her).

5.  I lived for a year in Amherst, MA at Hampshire College (basically a hippie commune where classes are held on special occasions). I spent my time there as a wheat-free vegan with cupboards filled with mysterious "food" rescued from Trader Joe's dumpster.

Okey dokey smokey.
:)
 Love you all.
