A couple of J's cousins are doing this on their blogs so I thought I'd give it a try, especially since my blog doesn't usually feature a lot of real facts about my life, but rather generalizations and overviews. This is going to be a little different for me since I am a pretty private person but here it goes...
Day 1 - Self portrait picture, and 15 interesting facts
I stuck to the spirit of this challenge and chose a photo that I did take myself. I'm no photographer so be nice.
Now for the facts...
1. I have been married for close to 8 years now and I still am amazed that I found such a great guy who truly loves and supports me. It's nice to have a best friend to hang out with every day.
2. I suck at cooking. No really, I am not a good cook at all. I can make a few things very well, but everything else turns out either over or under cooked. I do make a very good Shepherd's pie, Root Beer Chicken or Superbowl style finger foods and chicken wings.
3. I used to be a Figure Skater. I skated for 16 years and coached for about 10. Then I blew my knee...
4. I love ice cream, but it doesn't love me. Every time I eat it I get sick about 20 minutes later. The problem is I live half a block from Marble Slab Creamery and we go there about 3 times a week every summer and it's usually my idea to go.
5. I am obsessed with Zombie movies and Doctor Who....if you've been following this blog you probably know that by now.
6. I grew up in a very religious small town and I still am a bit naive about the workings of the world. I didn't grow up around drugs or fights or a lot of the bad things that people do to each other so I rarely see the bad in a situation even when I should.
7. I majored in Technical Theatre in University with a focus on lighting and sound.
8. I collect McFarlane figures, particularly Spawn ones.
9. I'm not a fan of tropical locations. Perhaps it's because I sunburn very bad and very easily so I don't want to risk ruining a vacation because of a bad burn. I will burn in about a half hour even with an SPF 50 on.
10. I have saved my brothers life twice. Both times I pulled him out of water. Once was a river when he was about 3 and once out of a frozen lake when he fell through the ice while fishing.
11. I strongly dislike tomatoes, onions and olives. I love spinach, broccoli and zucchini.
12. I tested 10 grades (and passed with high marks) of Royal Conservatory of Music for piano as well as took their Harmony and History exam and I can barely read music. I play by ear and used to memorize the pieces when my teacher played them and then pretend to be reading the music. I can read it, but it take me a lot of time. I would compare it to giving a grade 8 Science textbook to a smart grade 1 student. They might be able to sound out the words, but it will take time and probably not make sense.
13. I love to sing, but I get very bad stage fright if I have to perform. J or my sister usually force me into it ie singing with a band on my birthday or being in a musical.
14. Halloween is my favorite time of year. I love dressing up and making costumes.
15. I have to sleep on the left side of the bed, but I always move to the right side in the morning, once J leaves for work.
There we go. That wasn't quite as hard as I thought.
