Five for Friday

For caitirin's new community fiveforfriday

1. What is your earliest memory?

I used to think I could remember leaving the hospital after I was born *laughs* But that's ridiculous, so I think I was just imagining what it looked like. I still know what the image was that I thought I remembered (sunny day, brick building). However, I think my first actual memory was when I fell backwards down the stairs when I about two (?). I remember that I had to really stretch to reach the bannister, and I was right at the top when I fell down. All I hurt was my lip, and I remember my mother picking me up and bringing me to the chair in the living room. I remember looking at the back of the chair as she held me. My dad was drying his hair in the bathroom at the top of the stairs, and he DOVE head first down the stairs after me. It's a wonder he didn't break his neck ^^;;;

2. Has your favorite color ever changed?

Yep. It was purple and pink when I was little, and then it became green sometime in high school. But I've always liked purple.

3. What was your first favorite toy?

I had a doll named Emma that I got the Christmas after I turned one, I think. I wanted to name her Emily but I couldn't say the name. I took her in the bath and she got moldy :\

4. Do you prefer matte tape or glossy tape, why?

Glossy tape, because you can put it on things and it's not obvious that it's there. But matte tape is MUCH easier to write on.

5. Too hot or too cold?

Too cold! That's always fixable and doesn't make me feel sick.

...this is what bone folders are for, right? I mean, aside from the obvious. Rubbing on your matte tape until it's not visible, and then yay, you can still write on it.

Bone folders? That sounds like a great idea, but I don't know what those are! Wow, unfamiliar office supplies! *excited like a dork*

They are a bookbinding tool.

They're made of bone, and they have a curvy end (good for the aforementioned rubbing) and a pointy end (good for pushing in or holding down in a small space.

So, bone is the material of which they are typically formed, and they are used for folding and pressing.

Not for folding bones.

:D

Oooo! Neat! Those would be really useful in bookbinding.

So it's a bone folder, and not a bone folder :3

It *was* a sunny day, and you would have seen a brick building when you left the hospital. I can see it quite clearly. Who knows? They say if you go under hypnosis, some people remember being in the womb or being born, so maybe you did have some sort of memory that merged into your imagination of the event.

Poor little pumpkin falling down the stairs. I was thinking about that one night, and it scares me so much in retrospect because you really could have been seriously injured.

Purple and pink and turquoise. ^_^

OH yeah! Turquoise! I should have remembered that ^_^

And all I hurt was my lip! And luckily Daddy didn't break all his bones O.o
