Sunday Social: Childhoodom

Happy Sunday, beautiful people! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend! I'm still scratching my head as to why I thought it was a good idea to expose my husband to the film, "Closer." Hey, honey! Let's have a romantic home cooked dinner and watch a movie allllll about CHEATING! Yay! Good one, Candace.

// What do you miss most about being a kid? //

Being fearless. Sure, maybe I was afraid of what was under the bed. But, that's way better than my current state of fear: cancer, car wrecks, rapists, unemployment, and terrorism. I have many more than that but I shirk at letting you on to the crazy hypochondriac anxiety-prone scaredy cat that is Candace. 

Also, this:

// Did you have a nickname growing up? What was it? // 

People always assumed "Candy" was a fitting thing to call me. But, aside from my high school theatre teacher who actually made it sound endearing, I always thought it made me sound brainless or like a stripper. To this day, "Kansas" happens. And "Can" is common. Sometimes, I get called "Canned Ace" a la my Twitter handle. So, the moral of this story is: "Meh, call me whatever you want. I'll probably respond." Tee hee.

// What was your favorite thing to do at recess? //

Um, be a friggin' POWER RANGER. HELLO! I was always the Yellow one because all of the other girls wanted to be Kimberly. And I'm not even close to Asian so, what is happening...

// What did you want to be when you grew up? //

I flirted with the idea of meteorology (NERD) and veterinarian (BUMP that noise) and pop star (suck it, Taylor Swift!), but I always wanted to be an actress/ singer. Happy to say, DID IT! Doing it! Loving it! :)

Can't you see? I am just LIIIIIVING in this photo.

// Did you participate in any school activities? //

Oh Lord. Drama Club, y'all. Beta Club. Odyssey of the Mind. Thespians' Society. Junior Marshall. A brief stint in the History Club until I realized I didn't even be knowin' nothin' about no Civil War. And in college, Alpha Psi (Vice President, whaaat!), Phi Epsilon Honor Society, Alpha Chi Honor Society. Ladies and gentleman, I call that monologue: "The Goody Two Shoes Theatre Kid You Always Made Fun Of."

// What is the funniest thing you did as a kid that your parents still remind you about? //

My parents asked me if Michael Jackson was a boy or a girl and, with stone cold sincerity, I replied, "She's a boy."

I still consider my logic on this topic utterly flawless.

How about you?
