Umm... Tag?

Apparently.. Ive been tagged. I must list 6 Facts/Habits/Embarassments about myself and spread the love on. This kinda reminds me of the first day of school when you sit in a circle and share names and tell some random fact about yourself. I will try to be original and not just say I have 5 brothers and no sisters.

Fact/Habit/Embarassment #1: I am horribly, annoyingly, pathetically afraid of heights. It's something I desparately wish I could overcome, but apparently I cannot. Such was evident last night in Vegas when, in our suite, I was unable to walk out onto our balcony overlooking the strip on the 27th floor without either having one hand securly attached to the door of the room, or just having a panic attack altogether. I blame my father for "jokingly" trying to push me off a cliff as a child just to catch me and laugh. I wasn't so amused.

Fact/Habit/Embarassment #2: I am currently trying to teach myself how to sew. I have a had a machine for about three years that I had never even taken out of the box. I made the mistake of asking my mother to teach me, because she is quite the seamstress, but with very specific, somewhat heartbreaking words, she told me no. So now I continue alone. Im pretty determined though. I sewed one seam.. attaching two 3 inch blocks of fabric and basically danced. Daniel thinks Im overreacting.

Fact/Habit/Embarassment #3: I can read a book and sing along to a song at the same time while understanding each clearly. I never knew this was odd until I realized Daniel was the third person to point it out to me as being just that. To go along with this little fact, I can read 987 wpm or something close to that. Fun stuff.

Fact/Habit/Embarassment #4: I secretly wish I was a lounge singer. Its true. I cant imagine how cool it would be to sit alone with your guitar or piano and just be that raw. Its too bad I cant play the guitar or piano or sing that well. But I can sure lounge with the best of 'em.

Fact/Habit/Embarassment #5: I have a weird urge to punch ridiculously stupid people in the face everytime I encounter them. Same goes for people with bad manners. Say 'please' and 'thank you' or its a punch in the face for you. I swear I try to live my life in a loving, non-violent way.

Fact/Habit/Embarassment #6: I thought Daniel should get a fact of his own. He can play a mean game of Halo 3. There isn't much else to tell about him these days.. but I sure love him.

Everyone that knows I have a blog has already been tagged.. except my good friend Becca. So get started Becca... this one's for you.

You could try sewing a larger size block - that way you'll be done faster. Beck will teach you.

Sure, I'll teach you to sew. It sounds like you've pretty well figured out the machine if you've attached three blocks - totally worthy of a dance. The challenge is reading a pattern's criptic language. So I just make stuff up.

Hey thanks. Yeah it took me about an hour just to figure out how to thread the machine and get the bobbin all figured out. I was pretty proud when all was said and done..lol.
