It's Sunday and time for Sunday Social!
This weeks questions are:
Did you sleepwalk as a child?
No...not as a child. But I actually have a rare sleeping disorder called REM sleep behavior disorder which started when I was about 19 which means I am a crazy, crazy sleepwalker NOW if not medicated. I have tried to leave the house, I have punched people in the face (while both they and I was sleeping), I have woken up in the kitchen naked surrounded by cereal boxes. Yea, it's not cool - I make D@#^ sure I take my medicine every night and I also don't drink because of the medicine - which most people assume is because I have a "problem". Ahhh genetics...

Did you ever try to run away or sneak out of your house?
Run away - never! I knew my parents would be furious and just might not let me come back, they would take that seriously "You think its so bad here, then try and make it on your own." I actually never snuck out either. My parents were STRICT, and they didn't mess around with discipline. I only played 2 games of basketball my 5th grade season and sat the bench the rest of the year for talking back to my dad. I was grounded for 8 weeks between my junior and senior year of high school for letting my checking account balance go below $50. So I was very, very well behaved and I actually think that it helped make me a better person.
Did you have any imaginary friends?
No - I just read a lot which is kind of like having imaginary friends. :)
Did you ever go toilet papering?
Yes, once for Homecoming in high school. But I was scared S#!tl#$$ my parents would find out and so I threw one role and then went home with the other girls who were raised right :) The "bad" girls stole all sorts of lawn ornaments and realtor signs and such and I just thought that was mean! I mean some nice senior couple probably was really distraught their lawn deer were gone!

Did you ever sneak tv shows you weren’t allowed to watch?
Once again - no. Seriously I was an anxiety ridden child - I did not want to piss my parents off. I'm a Libra and I swear I'm true to my sign, I just like balance, I don't like conflict. So no 90210 for me, or MTV. And again I read a lot, played sports, did student council and NHS and cheerleading so there wasn't a lot of free time.
Was I boring or what - were you a good girl too?
Jasmine
Sounds like you had the same boring childhood I did!! But in the end I suppose it's a good thing. I mean, I was taught the value of money, didn't develop a pot problem, and avoided getting preggers at 18. So there's certainly that!
ReplyDeleteIt was kind of boring - I can't believe half the stories people tell me of what they did! I would have been locked away - and even though I was a girl my parents always threatened to send me to Military School!
DeleteEeek that's scary about the sleep walking :( My cousin was doing it for awhile but luckily it stopped. My parents were really strict too but I rebelled against them lol and was always getting in trouble. I did live with my grandmother who let me do anything though so it could've been her fault :)
ReplyDeleteWell you turned out ok too so be glad you had fun!
DeleteYou boring? Noway! Those were interesting facts. I can totally relate with strict parents. Well, I was mostly raised by my mom since my father died young. Not only was she strict and demanding but she's also OCD, physically and verbally abusive. I tried very hard not to upset her because when she does, it was like a living hell. I've thought many times about running away and even suicide, yeah it's kinda sad that it got me to that point. I've always felt that my childhood was robbed from me. Never really had a chance to be a kid. I was the oldest child and my mom depended on me for a lot of things like chores and helping out with the younger siblings. I've always had to act like a grown up. I still love my mom regardless but it's hard to look at her and forget about the past.
ReplyDeleteSleep walking sound scary. I'm glad you have taken the necessary measures to keep that under control. I have sleep problems too for the past couple years. I can't get a good night rest because I either have a hard time falling asleep so I have a tendency to up stay late or if I end up in bed early I'd wake up in the middle of the night and be up until morning.
