I've been tagged by the very awesome Rebecca Knight. The rules state I have to tell you 10 random facts about myself and then tag four other bloggers. I've done this a few times before, so it was harder than I expected to come up with some new stuff, but here's what I got:
1. I'm left-handed, but I still feel more natural doing a lot of things with my right hand. Like throwing a ball or a punch. Or shooting a rifle. Tennis. Serving the ball in volleyball. Though I do bat and play miniature golf left-handed.
2. #1 makes me sound like an athletic person, which is really funny, because I'm about as far from athletic (and coordinated) as a person can get.
3. When I was in fifth grade I wrote a report on... um... I don't remember what it was about, but I was particularly proud of the writing. My teacher returned it with a lot of red marks and the words "Don't copy from the book" (I didn't, jerk teacher) written in big letters across the top. Turned me off on putting any effort into anything I wrote for a very long time.
4. I love paper. Especially the particularly heavy paper that feels all soft and smooth between my fingers. And scrapbook paper. I think the only reason I ever started scrapbooking was so I would have an excuse to buy the paper, because it always made me sad to have to cut it up and actually, you know, scrapbook. ;)
5. Same with books. I enjoy reading them, but I LOVE the way they look on my shelf. :)
6. I met my husband when I was nineteen at a Beastie Boys concert. Dated for two months. Engaged for three months. We'll be very happily married sixteen years in November.
7. When I was a kid, my brother and sister and I started a band called Electric Zodiac. Our instruments: the flute and the piano. Totally rockin', right? We were going to learn how to play the guitar and the drums. Someday. Maybe. For some reason we never actually made any music. ;)
8. Also when I was a kid, my brother and sister and I decided we were going to write a book. I don't think we ever made it past "It was a dark and stormy night." Yeah. Awesome.
9. I prefer to eat fried chicken cold, the day after it's made.
10. If I'm listening to music on shuffle, it drives me crazy when someone scrolls through and selects a specific song, interrupting the shuffle. Feels like they're messing with the natural order of things.
And that's it. Super exciting stuff, I know. Okay, now for the taggees. I'm going to pick on some of my newest bloggy friends:

Happy Friday, everyone! :)
Wow, I had no idea you were left handed. No you seem so much more... sinister to me. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd Electric Zodiac? Can I play the pan-flute in that band? Awesome!
Tere: I try to keep my evil under wraps, but I really needed something for this blog post. ;)
ReplyDeletei think i bought scrapbook paper for the same reason. i was a paper junkie, bought it without needing it. it was not good to have Scrapbooks Etc just 5 minutes from my house. then i started writing and found a new addiction.
ReplyDeleteit's sad that teachers turn us off from writing. i had that happen in college. too many essay tests.
Michelle: Oh, I HATE essays. Learning the three-prong ones in high school made me hate writing for a while. And yeah, writing has pretty much eliminated all my other craft addictions. :)
