And worked. Random Fact: If I get a cold, it goes straight to my chest.<\/p>\n<p>2) Crochet Compulsive had a bootlegger grandfather? I have a crazy Frontier Abortionist\/Snake oil salesman in my genes&#8230;he had three wives, two of which died under &#8220;mysterious circumstances&#8221; and the third is only known in the family annals as &#8220;Mary the Cherokee&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>3) My husband remembers seeing me a few weeks before I remember meeting him. However, when we did finally meet we sat at LuValle Commons at UCLA talking until we suddenly realized the sun went down. I was smitten (smited? smote?) and that, as they say, was that&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>4) I have lived in at least two haunted houses (apartments) and wonder about a third.<\/p>\n<p>5) My best friend is an empath. Seriously. She&#8217;ll call and say, &#8220;DUDE! TAKE SOME ASPIRIN OR SOMETHING! YOU&#8217;RE KILLING ME!&#8221; and I&#8217;ll have been toughing out a particularly bad day of knee pain&#8230;or something like that.<\/p>\n<p>6) I have always been sad that no one let me go to my Great Grandfather&#8217;s  funeral. Yeah, I was only five, but I really loved him and completely understood that he was gone&#8230;but I didn&#8217;t get to say goodbye.<\/p>\n<p>7) I&#8217;m scary good at reading Tarot.<\/p>\n<p>8) The first time in my life that I can remember experiencing anything like homesickness was this last move from Croton-on-Hudson, NY to Tucson AZ. For me, usually, every minute is a new minute and I don&#8217;t generally spend time looking back. But this one took the wind out of me.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, eight bloggers to link to&#8230;this is brutal&#8230;um&#8230;<a href=\"http:\/\/agathon-sbh.blogspot.com\/\">Agathon<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/accordiongirl.blogspot.com\/\">Sydney<\/a>&#8216;s too busy so maybe <a href=\"http:\/\/enchantingjuno.typepad.com\/\">Juno<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jenminnis.com\/artblog\/\">Jen<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abbysyarns.com\/\">Abby<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/amingledyarn.wordpress.com\/\">The Professor<\/a>,  <a href=\"http:\/\/amingledyarn.wordpress.com\/\">Spinner Erin<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/knitadventures.blogspot.com\/\">Spider Knit<\/a>, and my local bud, <a href=\"http:\/\/naptimeknitter.blogspot.com\/\">Kate<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crochet Compulsive: 8 veeeeeery random thingsI have been tagged&#8230;I&#8217;ll return to ante up when I&#8217;m done with my eleventh anniversary.MWAhahahahahahah.
