Check it, wreck it, let’s begin
- Tag Team

Ok, so I’ve been tagged. Thanks Chris! =) Apparently I’m supposed to write seven things about myself that you may or may not know. Let’s see, where to begin…

1) I’m allergic to sand. Seriously. I know -- it’s sad isn’t it? I couldn’t play in the sandbox as a kid or I would break out something ridiculous. I’m not much of a beach person anyway (see previous sun burn post), but the sand issue is the primary reason for that. It’s not as bad as it used to be, but still. Allergic to sand? Pretty depressing, huh?

2) Along those same lines, I hate, hate, HATE to get water in my eyes. During daddy/daughter swimming lessons I always dreaded going underwater. One time I convinced them to let me hold onto the ladder instead of holding hands in the circle to go under. When they came back up I was in the locker room, talking about, yeah, let’s go home dad I don't care if I can't swim. I was four. Nothing’s changed. I love to swim, but I have to keep a towel and goggles very near by.

3) I took dance for ten years. Ugh. Can’t believe I just admitted that on the public interweb or whatever we’re calling it these days. I started out in the combo class – ballet and tap at age 5. I did a few years of that, then it was jazz until I was a freshman in high school. I was awful. No seriously –terribly, terribly awful. I tried my best, but some of us just ain’t born with taps or jazz shoes on.

4) I’m completely obsessed with music. I mean, I’m just completely fanatical about most kinds of music. I quote lyrics in everyday conversation; post them on this site and pretty much listen to music all the time. I have to make myself not buy every single thing that interests me. That in and of itself takes a great amount of self control. I harbor a secret dream of being involved in the music business somehow – whether it be a concert promoter or something similar. But what would be better than being a back up singer? You keep your anonymity, but get to be part of concerts every night? Awesome. Sigh, a girl can dream, can’t she?

5) I would love to just up and move to somewhere like Chicago or Dallas or wherever. But I know I would miss my family and friends way too much. Still, it would be cool for a change of pace. I think it would be fun to do that for a year. I would never make it, though. I’m too much of a homebody. Always have been, always will be. I guess I should just travel more.

6) I have won three Addys. I’m very proud of that fact. Two were for television commercials and one was for a billboard. I’m still pissed they wouldn’t pay to let me actually have a duplicate of the awards. Oh well, I’m comforted in knowing that at some point in time, my creative genius and ability was actually recognized.

7) I’m a huge introvert. It’s true. Those of you that know me are probably rolling your eyes right now, but think back to before you got to know me. Remember? I’m super shy. I don’t do well at parties because the thought of talking to strangers freaks me out. I just tend to clam up. Put me in a room with people I know and am comfortable around and I’ll talk until someone shuts me up. I know, I’m an adult and should just get over it, but the Myers-Briggs test says that is just how I am. (For those of you into that sort of thing, I’m an INFJ. Strong on the I, N and F and cloudy on the J. I’m definitely a P in my personal life, a J at work). “Too shy, shy, hush, hush, eye to eye.” (See, I told you I was all about the music!)

So, here’s the deal, I have to tag some other folks, here goes:

Justin – Come on now, you know you want to!
Scott – Never seen you turn down any type of game before
Liesa – Ok, so you’re having a baby, but you can work on this while you’re gone for the next, oh 37 weeks.
Holli – Dude, its fun! I promise!


Ok, so I can only think of four folks to tag. Ones that might actually do it and that blog. The rest of my pals reading this – you all should totally be blogging! Whatcha waitin’ for?

The rules:
Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to then report this on their own blog with their 7 things as well as these rules. They then need to tag 7 others and list their names on their blog. They are also asked to leave a comment for each of the tagged, letting them know they have been tagged and to read the blog.
