I’ve been blog tagged for the first time. Seven interesting things about myself? That’s a daunting task. I’ll start with my party-game standard.
1. I grew up without a TV, which means I have a pop culture gap that spans the 1980’s and 1990’s. I started paying attention to pop culture around 2003, and now have a photographic memory for celebrity trivia, which is occupying brain cells that might be otherwise valuable.
2. I thought I was unathletic growing up because I have no coordination. Then I discovered running in college, which I’m really good at, because all I have to do is go in a straight line.
3. My favorite book is A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, which I read about every four years.
4. Rainy days make me happy. It does not rain enough in Washington, D.C.
5. During election season, I turn off all the lights in the front of my house and pretend I’m not home when campaigners come to my door. (Unless Matt is home. Then I make him answer the door.)
6. I am exactly one-third of the way through NaNoWriMo. I am experiencing writer’s block right now, which is why I am blogging.
7. I am part of Gen Y (the older part of Gen Y, to be specific), and yet I don’t have seven friends who blog, so I can’t continue this chain. Friends who don’t blog: I find you interesting, too! You should email me seven things about yourself.
“Rainy days make me happy.”
Oh, me too! And it does NOT rain enough in SoCal, either.
