Eight Things You Didn’t Know About Me

Shawn tagged me in a meme and I wasn’t sure where to respond. Now that I have a spot where my more personal stuff won’t impede others’ productivity, here we go…

1. I have a horrible sense of direction. North? East? What are those? (Perhaps to make up for this, I am *really* good at remembering a route I’ve already traveled once, even years later.)
2. I don’t believe in past-life regression, but if I did, I’d be positive I used to be a Hungarian woman. This implausible hunch started when I randomly picked up the DVD of Marta Meszaros’s “Adoption” and felt an uncanny sense of familiarity with the background images. (Why was this Cold-War-era Eastern European flick at the Hollywood Video in downtown Salt Lake City? I’ll never know.) But here’s the kicker: when I spent a week alone in Budapest the following year, I didn’t get lost — not once.
3. I am horrified by the sight of wide-ruled paper, which makes shopping for new journals very uncomfortable.
4. As a pre-teen, I danced in parades dressed as a monkey to promote a local children’s amusement center.
5. I last saw my biological father when I was in high school, and he still doesn’t know that I know who he is.
6. Growing up, I always wanted eight children. (Now that I am a grown-up, I want zero.)
7. I have never lived in just one place for longer than nine months.
8. I love hospitals. I volunteer at hospitals frequently because I enjoy simply spending time in them. I even love the food. I think it’s the combination of cleanliness, technology, and sense of security.

What are eight things I don’t know about you, Christine, Vanessa, Keith, and Jay?

  I especially enjoy #3 & #7... #7 begs the question... when are you leaving Seattle then?

  By the way, I'm still working on this one. :-):-) I got tagged with four memes in one week--I'm spacing them out! ;-)
