I was tagged by irreparable: Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 random things, facts, goals or habits about yourself. At the end, choose 10 people to be tagged, listing their names & why you chose them. You can't tag a person who has tagged you.

Ten random things, eh? Okies:

1. I think that frogs and toads are adorable.

2. When I was in elementary school, I taught myself Braille and basic sign language because I thought I was going blind. My eyesight was failing rapidly, but my mom thought I was faking because I was jealous of my friend Karen's glasses. It wasn't until the teachers in the school took up a private collection to pay for me to get an eye examination and glasses that my mom took me to a doctor to 'prove' I was lying. Turned out that I was so nearsighted that I was borderline legally blind at that point. o_0

3. Atticus Finch (To Kill a Mockingbird) is my all-time favorite movie boyfriend. I love him with all my heart. Of course, Jack Sparrow is probably next on the list, so what does that say about me?

4. I signed up for a semester of German in college after taking 2 years of Russian but had to drop the course. Every time the teacher asked me something in German, I replied in Russian.

5. I would like to get a Fine Arts degree one day.

6. I feel like time stands still when I am drawing (portraits are my favorite thing to draw, btw).

7. When I was a very young child, I thought that tiny elves lived in street lights and that it was their job to change the colors from green to yellow to red.

8. I recently discovered that I love pickled pumpkin. (Sounds awful--tastes delicious!)

9. I once drove 19 1/2 hours straight without stopping, except for gas and bathroom breaks. I will never do that again. My limit is now about 10-12 hours without stopping. Which is still quite a lot now that I think of it. When I'm setting out on a long journey like that, I don't check my watch or the car clock to see how long I've been driving because that's too stressful. I measure the time that passes by the numbers of CDs I play along the way.

10. Vancouver, Canada, Galway, Ireland, and San Francisco, California are my three favorite cities, in that order.


I now tag ...every single person on my f'list because I am too lazy to select ten names.*


*special bonus random fact: I am extremely lazy.
