Tag You're It!




I was tagged by studiojewel from Etsy (http://studiojewel.blogspot.com/) to state 7 random things about myself, so here goes!


1) I've been a vegetarian for 16 years.

2) I had nightmares ALMOST EVERY NIGHT from the ages of 12-ish to 26. Some nights I would even stay up all night to avoid certain nightmares I was sure I would have that night (some were predictable - I had annual ones, weekly ones, etc). I have no idea why they finally went away!

3) I can't do basic math (ok I'm semi-stealing this one from studiojewel who said she loves math!!) - seriously, I can't multiply and divide without using my fingers. I certainly can't do fractions or percentages. I have a cheat sheet that I use for math in the lab!! Sometimes when people show me how to do research-related equations I pretend I understand what they're talking about just to not look stupid.

4) I am definitely addicted to sugar.

5) I still believe that there's a possibility that when I walk around in the woods there's a chance something fantastical and magical might pop out from behind a tree!

6) The only concert I've ever been to featured Davy Jones from the Monkees in the 1990s!

7) I think Kelly Kapur (from the office, played by Mindy Kaling) and I would get along! :) I like being around people who talk a lot - less pressure on me to try to keep up the conversation!! And my husband thinks he and Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) would be pals! We are TOTAL The Office geeks :)

Well, now I will tag 3 other people...

AlwaysArtistic (wonderful photography on Etsy)
ThisOldHenHouse(fabulous notebooks, journals and more on Etsy)
CrazyTimesCandles(lovely candles, soaps, melts on Etsy)

Aileen, I definitely do - sometimes I think I miss them by nanoseconds when I blink! :)

dude (if i may call you 'dude', haha)... the thing about the woods?... i think that, too!

i experienced the nightmare thing, too. i still get them sometimes (they were almost always 1 of half a dozen dreams or themes), and they really freak me out, but for the most part, it's stopped. i wonder what that's all about? :/

and about the concerting - girl, i am definately inviting you to the next nin concert i go to, haha. all you have to do is fly down here and get a ticket! ;D
