Tagging myself (Yes, it's cheating!)

mysidI've been reading the "8 things you don't know about me" memes that several of you have been doing. My first thought, "I don't even have eight interesting things about me." But since I've been very remiss about posting lately (I was away on vacation for a week, but I was remiss even before that) I decided to give it a try. No one has "tagged" me to do the meme, but what the hell.
1. I was a complete and total Beatles fanatic in high school. I owned every record, could sing the lyrics of every song, and knew way too many trivial facts about the Fab Four. Weirdly enough, I got into them (through a friend) about a week or two before John Lennon was killed.
2. I used to be a member of the Star Wars Fan Club. I had a membership card and everything. If I still had my membership card, I would have burned it in protest after seeing Episodes I, II, or III. I choose to pretend that only three Star Wars movies were made.
3. I was in the church choir for one year (when I was 17). I originally joined because my boyfriend was in it, and his driving me home after practice gave us an opportunity to sit in his car and make-out for a half hour or so. We broke up only a month or two after I joined the choir, but I refused to drop out of choir (stubborn) so he dropped out instead.
4. Two guys once got in a fistfight over me. After I got dumped by the boyfriend mentioned in #3, two other guys in the choir both asked me out. It was a choice between bad and worse, but my ego needed a boyfriend after being dumped. I chose one; the other didn't take it well.
5. Decades before I ever wrote fanfic, I created fanfic fantasies in my head. The first fandom I ever did--Aquaman comic books. Yes, you may laugh.
6. When I was six and seven years old, I lived in a former one-room schoolhouse. My favorite feature of the house, the big chalkboard.
7. When I lived in "the little red schoolhouse," my best friend lived across the street. She knew how babies were made because her teenage brother showed her. Yes.
8. Some of my ancestors lived in Salem, Massachusetts and were involved in that whole "witch hunt" thingy.
