5 things you don’t know about rilah

1. dr. daddy and i have interconnected birthdays. he was apparently due on my birthday, the year before i was born – but was 3 weeks early. i was due on his first birthday – but they let me keep cooking until i got bigger.
2. my natural haircolour is all of the following: white blonde, dirty blonde, strawberry blonde, RED, orange, light brown and a few black ones, for good measure.
3. in 13 days, i will be baking a cake (well, two, really) to celebrate the three year birthday of 75% of my boobs.
4. my first boyfriend was a boy named cameron in 6th grade. we broke up when i kicked him in the junk after he tried to kiss me. my next one, a druggie who ended up dying after an overdose after i broke up with him in grade eight.
5. my dad used to tell me that they wanted to name me “terra anne sheila marie” because if you said it fast, it’s be pronounced like tarantula. um, the only thing worse than that is that my mom wanted to name me moonunit (a la zappa, i guess) and i ended up with terra cuz they met a waitress with that name and she was nice.
