31 Days Meme, Days 13 and 14

13. What is your earliest memory?
I feel like I've probably talked about this before, but whatever. I told my mom this once: I was in the hospital. I was little, and in a bed that seemed HUGE to me. There was a window on my right that had light coming in, some kind of cabinet on the left next to the bed, and there was a chair in the corner where someone was sitting. I think it was one of my parents, but I couldn't tell you which one. There was a nurse on the side of the cabinet, but I wasn't paying any attention to her because I had an Etch A Sketch that I was trying to make work and the lines weren't going where I wanted them to. The biggest impression I have about the room, which is probably why I remember it, was that it was very white. Like blinding almost, between the white of the actual room and the brightness from the window. So yeah. I explained this to my mom once, when I was a teenager, and she just gaped at me for a minute before telling me that I was about one and a half, and I'd been in the hospital with strep-pneumonia. Obviously my memory was when I was feeling better, but I'd been very very sick and almost died. ^_^;;; I'm also told that the strep-pneumonia is the reason why even now, I have a permanent bronchial cough. So basically, even if I just have a minor cold, when I cough I sound (and feel) like I have a bad case of bronchitis. Fun stuff.
14. If you won the lottery...
-Immediate- pay off school loans, rent a nice apartment
-Long-term- Finish school, maybe travel a bit, move somewhere I don't hate, rent/buy and furnish a nice 3 bedroom place there (one for sleeping, one as a library/office, one as a guest/craft room), POSSIBLY driving lessons/license/car, but I'm not sold on that. Save the rest, maybe invest a little, but I don't really know anything about investing so it's probably better if I don't. XD
I know, I'm not very interesting on this score, but unless the money I got was a pretty low amount, we're probably talking about more money than I would even know what to do with. Beyond smaller stuff (buying gadgets/books/anime/whatever and donating to causes/organizations that are important to me, like Planned Parenthood and HRC), I can't even think of anything else I would do with the money if I had it, once basic needs and debts were taken care of. And I assume that after I was done with school I would still work- though having the money there would ensure that I wouldn't be stuck at a job I loathed, which would be nice.
