I’m a little slow…I read Mallory’s post on Miss Malaprop all about how she was tagged for the “Five Things You Didn’t Know About Me” meme that’s been making the rounds and didn’t realize she had tagged me until I started getting traffic from it. What can I say; it’s one of those lazy Sunday afternoons and I’m not the brightest crayon in the box today…But, I’m sitting here listening to Pandora (my current channel is The Brian Jonestown Massacre if you wanna listen along) and trying to procrastinate, so it’s the perfect time to do a meme.
Five Things You Didn’t Know About Me
1. I was kissed by a killer whale at Marineland in Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada when I was 11 years old. It was not unpleasant, but scary as crap. I’ve only ever met one other person who can claim being kissed by a killer whale and that is my step-mom in a totally unrelated killer whale kissing incident.
2. I stepped on Truman Capote’s feet when I was a toddler. I lived in Keywest, Florida until I was 2 years old and my mom took my along to some lecture or political rally of some kind. Truman Capote was sitting just a couple of chairs down from us and me being a toddler at a lecture/political rally, I entertained myself by running back and forth in our row. Apparently, I stepped on his feet more than once and he was completely gracious.
3. My top 3 favorite songs are:
Across the Universe by the Beatles
Sing by Blur
Porcelain by Moby
4. I have a long-time crush on Ewan McGregor. Nothing more to be said except that is one hot Scotsman.
5. In high school, I took 4 years of music theory, I belonged to chorus, played the clarinet, and even worked as the music director on plays. I wanted to go to Berklee College of Music in Boston. Needless to say, I did not go to Berklee and I couldn’t play the clarinet now if my life depended on it. Just goes to show you that you don’t need to figure out what you want to do when you grow up in high school, b/c you will probably just change your mind anyway. Besides, I am a total advocate of unschooling and the democratic free school movements now anyway.
I tag Funky Finds, Jena from Modish, Want, Need, Have, & Brandy from Indie Obession.
I’m telling my sister about the Truman Capote thing. She’s a huge fan–she’ll be envious.
oh my…i just answered one tag on my blog! check it out. i love the tidbit about you kissing the killer whale & stepping on capote’s feet is fabulous!
Wow, the Truman Capote thing is too cool!
I was going to email everyone and let them know but I finished that post right before I left for work so I didn’t have time. So you’re not slow!
