Sylvia and Iliana have tagged me for the eight random facts meme. The idea is to share eight unknown facts about myself.
So here goes:
- I don't own a car or a cell phone. Considering the expense of both, I don't mind. I feel progressive enough just owning an answering machine and a computer (and I plan on buying an iPod).
- I don't like mayonnaise. I know, that sounds weird, but I have never liked it.
- I don't like wearing high heels. As a matter of fact I never wear them. I prefer my feet firmly planted on the ground. Besides, I walk too much and they would be completely impractical.
- I don't like to cook and am totally unimaginative when trying new dishes. I have a repertoire of about half a dozen meals that I feel comfortable making. I don't mind baking, though.
- I have two older sisters and no brothers. I have always wondered what it would be like to have a brother.
- I'd like to live in Europe again. I'd also like to live near a large body of water. I would be quite happy combining the two!
- Sometimes I flip to the back of the book I'm reading to sneak a peek at the outcome. I try not to do this, but sometimes I can't resist. Is that terrible?
- When I was in middle and high school I had lots of pen pals. I actually met five of them (they were from Ireland, Britain, former Czechoslovakia, former East Germany, and Finland). Unfortunately I lost contact with all of them, which is a pity really--I am curious what their lives are like now!
The instructions are to tag eight more people, but as I have been noticing this meme popping up all over the place, consider yourself tagged if you haven't already shared your eight facts!
