Ok, it's my turn
Ok, from Lisa to Steve to Colleen and now to me, I get to answer the following meme...
Here are the rules...
(1) Link to the person that tagged you.
(2) Post the rules on your blog.
(3) Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.
(4) Tag six random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
(5) Let each random person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their website.
- I have a secret love of rearranging furniture. Just today, I moved every single object in my 8x8 cubicle, just to fit a new filing cabinet in. (If you've seen my cubicle, you know just how amazing this is -- my cubicle is more of a storage room than a workspace.) A few weekends ago, I moved every single piece of furniture in our living room. I remember this in childhood also. I remember trading bedrooms with my brother and the excitement of just moving everything around.
- I like to read mystery novels that are honestly rather lame. They are about things like quilters who kill people with rotary cutters, knitters who use knitting needles to do others in, etc. And, they all have heroines who have profoundly bad luck in terms of stumbling onto dead bodies over and over again. I read lots of very serious books, too, but I find that these sorts of mysteries tend to help me fall asleep. I get this habit from my mom, most definitely.
- If given the choice between sleeping in on a Saturday morning and going to Target alone, I'd choose the shopping trip pretty much any day. I don't even like shopping that much, but there's just something satisfying about a quick to Target (before it gets crowded) to buy granola bars, browse the dollar spot, and just look around. If I can be home by 9am, that's even better.
- I don't even begin to understand car repair, but I have a fascination with Car Talk on NPR. This is probably because of the Puzzler, and just because it's often such a funny show -- I usually find time to listen to it (via podcast) every week. My dad and I work on the Puzzler together via email most weeks, too.
- I don't really know right from left. Well, I sorta do -- I can figure it out if I think about it and have developed ways to cope (largely by looking at my hands), but it's not intuitive for me like it is for most people. I blame this on first grade -- while my classmates were learning practical things like right/left, noun/verb, I was writing a research paper on the artificial heart.
- I am completely fascinated by bridge engineering. I love Modern Marvels on the History Channel (and have for nearly a decade) -- if it's an episode about a bridge, I'll sit with constant attention. We've walked across the Brooklyn Bridge twice -- and each time I've been more interested in the bridge itself than the views great views of Manhattan. I think a little part of me wants to be a bridge designer when I grow up.
As for the links... I'm sorry, but I think this dies with me. Everybody I could think of has already been tagged on this subject. :(
