Friday: Given, Taken, Stolen
5 things you were given
1. New colorful socks every year for Hanukkah
2. A pot of sage from Mom when I got my first apartment
3. My first paycheck for acting -- pivotal, life-changing moment there
4. A long, warm scarf for Christmas the year Mom tried knitting (it was awesome)
5. A new cellphone from Trevor when my old one broke
4 things you gave away
1. A daisy I'd been given to Trevor -- he'd been feeling blue, and I thought a plant might cheer him up (he's still got it, he tells me)
2. Acting lessons -- I've taken the occasional young actor or actress under my wing and given them tips
3. An old dress that didn't quite fit me any more to a charity shop
4. Inspiration, both because I like doing it and because my power tends to build up to dangerous levels if I don't
3 things you wished for
1. The chance to become an actress professionally
2. To win a radio contest and a trip to Florida (that was a great vacation)
3. To be special (that one backfired on me briefly when it turned out I was)
2 things that were taken from you
1. My freedom, once (the above-mentioned backfire)
2. Once had my wallet stolen. Fortunately, it was a back-up wallet I'd brought with me because I wasn't sure of the area -- just cash and one piece of ID. Made reporting the theft a bit easier.
and 1 thing you stole
1. I sneaked a candy bar from a store when I was a kid, and never got caught. (The second time I tried it, though, hooo boy. . .)
