I was a weird little girl who was prone to shyness, especially around adults. Sometimes I was a tomboy, I liked to ride my bike and hang out in the tree house in the vacant lot next door. Then I would go off to Sabrina and Camille's house and play Barbies. Or I would ride my bike up to the Lawson's to buy comic books and Creamsicles. I liked wandering around in the woods in the neighborhood, we lived out on the far reaches of suburbia. And every winter I went ice skating on the pond in our backyard.
