Tag - I'm it.

OK, to honor my friend Liz, I'm going to tell you seven things about myself that you may (or may not know). Hers were pretty good. I fear mine will not match up, but I'm going to step out in faith anyway.

1) I can cross my pinky toe over the toe next to it.

2) My family is well known for creating what we call "Rube Goldberg inventions" after the famous cartoonist (see link here). My favorite one is the hook that we invented to string Christmas lights on tall Cacti - it is a pool pole, with a hanger bent into a hook at one end, duct-taped within an inch of its life to the pole. Then one person holds the lights on a little spool while the other uses the pole to navigate the cactus arms. It is a hilarious enterprise and probably pretty amusing to the neighbors, too.

3) I like rock climbing a lot. But I feel constrained by indoor rock walls because I have to follow a prescribed path. I'd rather just find holds and get to the top however I can.

4) I go to cemetaries when I'm sad or just want to sit or walk quietly alone. Wherever I live, I find a nice cemetary to wander around. (right now its Oakwood Cemetary on 5th and LaSalle)

5) My mom and I often will say the exact same thing, at the exact same time, with the same inflection. Most often in response to a question of my dad's, and sometimes hollering it from opposite ends of the house. its rediculous.

6) I am currently applying to be a participant on the Amazing Race.

7) I was an art major growing up. I still love to do art, but my school schedule constrains me from doing any sort of crafts, let alone painting, etc.
