1) My mother died when I was a child.

I still count this as the most significant event in my life.

2) I snuck into the Vatican.

When I was 18 I was visiting a friend who lived in Naples Italy and we took a three hour train down to Rome. When we arrived at the Vatican we were told you couldn't go in wearing shorts. So we waited till a guard was distracted and snuck in. We only got to look at the Pieta before we were escorted out.

3) I seriously considered being a nun.

I had done research. I had pamphlets. I had been on many many retreats. I did a year of volunteer service after college with a Catholic organization. But it wasn't for me.

4) I had no clue I was queer until I was 27.

That's when I met my first butch lesbian. And fell hard. She was my first and only partner.

5) My first love came home one day and told me she loved someone else.

We had been together nine years. My heart is still recovering.
