My Eight Things

July 14, 2007 By Frugal Babe

I got tagged by Bianca Bizarro  to tell you eight things about myself.   I had been secretly hoping someone would tag me, but then I couldn’t think of eight interesting things to say about myself.   So I pondered for a while and this is what I came up with:

  • I  don’t like  rollercoasters.   I cried for half the ride  the last time I was convinced to ride one (last summer, against my better judgement)
  • I graduated from high school when I was 15 and from college when I was 19.
  • I’m not good at housework.   Or at least I’m not consistent.   I tend to go on a cleaning spree and then let it get dirty for a couple weeks before I clean again.   It helps if I listen to music while I clean (current favorites are the Killers and Blue October)
  • I can speak Swahili. (naweza kuongea Kiswahili)
  • I’m good at math and terrible at spelling – there is no way I could blog without spellcheck.
  • I’ve worked in a dorm cafeteria (hair net!), a couple grocery stores (one involved cleaning the bathrooms and the meat department at the end of the day…), the math department at my university, a  school in Tanzania, Enterprise Rent A Car, a public library, and our insurance agency.  
  • I’m fiercely liberal in my political and social beliefs.
  • I  don’t do  scary movies.   We went to go see White Noise a couple years ago when we had free movie tix.   Afterwards, I was so freaked out that we had to sneak into another theater where a comedy was playing.   Otherwise I would not have been able to walk out into the parking lot in the dark.   Everyone I know  said that White Noise is cheesy and not scary at all, so that will tell you what a chicken I am when it comes to scary movies.

Now I get to tag some people.   If you’ve already been tagged, feel free to ignore this, unless you’re better than I am at thinking of things to write about yourself.   But I’m tagging Jenn at Frugal Upstate, Millionaire Artist and Udandi.   Looking forward to hearing a few of your quirks.
