The Middle of the Riddle

For some strange reason, people keep asking me what makes me tick. I've actually been asked that question four times in the past month. What the dillio? Am I truly such an odd duck that this would be interesting to anyone?

Ok, I'll tell you what I know about myself. It isn't much, though, so if you're hoping to solve some great mystery, good luck!

1. I was born with a bleeding ulcer. I vomited blood for the first month of my life.
2. I went to an experimental high school in Los Angeles.
3. I played the piano, french horn, guitar, mandolin and five-string banjo.
4. I had my first drink when I was 21 and my second when I was 32.
5. I've had sexual "encounters" with less than 10 men; I've slept with five of them, married two of those five, and dream about the second one of those nearly every night.
6. I've been pregnant five times and birthed four children; I'll feel no greater pain or guilt than that from the death of my fifth.
7. I spend the first hour of every day laying in bed and thinking of all the people, places and things that make me smile.
8. I sleep kitty-cornered unless I'm sharing space :-)
9. I've never been in a sex shop.
