Things you probably don't know...and I don't know why I'm telling you... #2

Well hello there! I'm still alive! You probably noticed that I have been reviewing many stories. It's to thank all of you for reviewing mine. There are a few stories that really captured my attention. (In no particular order)

• Summer of Sage
• Take Two
• Devil Take It All REWRITE
• Say No More, I Know I'm Gorgeous

I'm not one for picking favorites but...really these were awesome to go through. The rest of the stories were great to read. These are just some that I really connected with. If I put all of them down...it would be along list!

So here's another ten things that are actually real in the stories that I write. Why am I doing it...well out of boredom and because...I can keep track of this...and I like lists! This time I will include NGOTG, SWFF, ATWCB.

1. Natalia's father graduated from the University of Western Ontario...in reality my father graduated from there with his Ph.D.
2. Natalia's dream is to go to Western...that was my dream...until I fell in love with York University.
3. Hannah's high school year...lets just say if you know me...you would know...
   
4. Fallon takes a course called Intro to Polymer Chem...my father taught the course...I marked a test once and it was definitions and telechelic polymers was one...and the way Fallon defines it is how I remember it...lol
5. The asthma attack is based on my brother...the poor kid had us running for a hospital so many times...it was scary...
6. Rejection is a feeling I know too well...let's leave it at that...
7. Nicholas from NGOTG did actually leave...based on a real friend...he came back and then left for good...which actually followed my script for class...that was freaky...
8. When Natalia got locked in Dallas's car...well that is actually based on truth...not the kiss part but getting locked...you see I went to the US during my gr.9 summer and what happened was that the family I was staying with had two adult sons...and one night one of tem asked me to come pick up pizza...little did I know that my door handle was broken from the inside...so he left laughing at me...and I was stuck in the car with no way out...so embaressing...
9. Hannah and Stefan are bystanders in a fight. That is real. I got socked in the jaw just becuase I was standing in the wrong place at the wrong time...my friend tried to cover us both...didn't work out so well...lol!
10. Hannah goes to the Skills Canada competitions...yea that's true...I went two years for virtual robotics along with my friend and partner...I would sometimes sleep on the ride there...hehehe!

So now you know...maybe I'll post why I wrote these stories in the first place...that should be fun...

Anyways thanks for the reviews!
Much love,
