Thanks to my darling dearest friend Lauren (aka @metrogal84 for those in the Twitterverse) for tagging me in her recent post on six unspectacular things about herself. So I guess now it’s my turn to reveal six random and unspectacular things about myself! This is stumping me a bit because some random things about me are quite the opposite of unspectacular (or so I like to think!), but I’ll give it a whirl.
1. I am most likely one of the most empathetic people you will ever encounter in your life. There are positives and negatives to this because it means I care deeply for people, but it also means I cry EVERY TIME I watch Grey’s Anatomy or Extreme Makeover: Home Edition…or if I see a stray dog on the street because I worry it will get hurt or not be able to find its owner. Yes I know, a bit over the top.
2. I’m creative with my thoughts and words, but have zero artistic talent. I am cringing because every year we do a pumpkin decorating contest at work and the deadline is right around the corner!
3. I don’t live on the wild side. I am scared of things that move fast or could cause potential injury, such as sledding. Related to this, I’ve only ever broken one bone in my body (the radius in my left wrist after falling off the monkey bars in kindergarten). I have however, sprained both ankles multiple times due to volleyball and tennis in high school and college.
4. I love anything banana flavored….yogurt, ice cream, pancakes, pie, pudding, cake…the list goes on.
5. I like to sing and can actually carry a tune, but I’m too shy to sing in front of most people. I attribute this to the fact that I’m scarred for life from another kindergarten incident. My music teacher chose me and another girl from the whole class to sing the lead in our Christmas play. I wound up with a 103.0 fever and could not perform. If only I didn’t get sick, maybe I would have started performing at a young age. Now I’m too chicken!
6. I get anxiety on numerous occasions from numerous sources. No further explanation is required.
OK, so maybe I elaborated a bit on my 6 unspectacular items, but some needed additional explanations! 🙂 Now, I’m tagging some bloggers who may have to sway a bit from their typical topics to make this work, but hey it’s fun and random…nuff said!
