Did you know?

So while scrubbing toilets (it's funny what you think of while doing menial tasks) I decided to start 'did you know?' posts about me. I decided this because many people don't know that about me. The first did you know is that I'm am terribly shy. Hence the not many people know stuff about me. I am horribly, terribly shy. People freak me out. Now some of you might be thinking, HAE?! shy? no way. Yep. My nerves get so shot when I have to deal with people. For example, when I was 10 my mom took me and my brother to McDonald's for lunch. Mom decided I was old enough to order for myself. I refused and froze up. I begged her to order for me. She ordered for my brother and herself, then we sat down to eat. She pushed 5$ across the table and said when you're ready you can go and order your food. I didn't eat lunch that day. You might think, but you played flute in a concert band in school, and were a section leader. But did you know I never performed a solo. One time I was supposed to but 15 mins before I was to go on stage I went and hid for the rest of the concert. When I was about 16 the band leader told me I had to perform a solo that year. I freaked out and convinced him to let me do a duet with my best friend (she played clarinet). That was the only festival I performed without the band. But, you protest, you were an officer in CAFR. Yeah but that almost killed me inside. I joined because I was tired of being so scared of people. It helped a little. I still get roller coasters in my stomach. Sweaty palms. Aversion and avoidance. Yeah, I've done a lot of things that you might think only someone with a lot of confidence would do. I can fake it when I need to.
