Most likely to spend more time pushing cats off of books than reading books.
@LeahBergen My mom wouldn't let me have big hair 😩 @LauraBeth My parents didn't believe in braces either.

JanuarieTimewalker13 That should be a first line of a novel: "My mom wouldn't let me have big hair." Lol...I love it... (edited) 7y

LauraJ @JanuarieTimewalker13 The next sentence is... "Then in 1986, I went to college dyed my hair black and spiked it to the ceiling." Being a goth punk chick was not easy in Indiana. 7y

JanuarieTimewalker13 @LauraJ haha! Brilliant!!! See, there's a great beginning of a novel/memoir..whatever you want it to be!! And btw, that couldn't have been easy in Indiana, you're right!! Downtown Manhattan or London, most likely no problem. 7y
