I'VE BEEN TAGGED!

ok, so I'm reading Mrs. L's blog and I realize that I've been tagged, just by reading it... and I'm bored, and I actually have a little time, and my computer is cooperating! so, I'll respond to the tag... (So I got as far as #3, and my computer crashed and I totally forgot I had written this... so now 4/7/8 I finished it!)


8 things you probably don't know about me:



1. For some strange reason, when I hit about 32 I suddenly became panicky around heights. It was pretty bad... I was in the Grand Canyon with a group of kids in our youth group when I thought some of them were getting to close to the edge, and suddenly without warning I freaked out... I had to turn my back on them and look away, I was crying and struggling to breath- yeah, full fledged panick attack. They were 10 feet from the edge, there was no reason for the fear. It just happened.



2. I LOVE SPIN AND PUKE ROLLERCOASTERS! but because of an inner ear problem I can't ride on them anymore {:-( because I spin and puke...



3. I would rather spend all day with a group of teenagers than an afternoon of interesting conversation with adults...

4. I really get a kick out of dry British humor, but I also have a really warped sense of humor, so I find almost anything funny, much to my husbands dismay.

5. I am a compulsive giggler. The more nervous I am, the worse I giggle. And if you tell a joke that hits my funny meter just right, I can't stop laughing... It's really bad... A couple of years ago I got kicked out of youth group because I couldn't stop laughing...

6. I'm not a girlie girl, I'm a tom boy~ I'm miserable shopping, I don't ask directions, I hate to cry around people, when I drive- I'm on a mission and I don't like to take rest stops, I don't decorate (unless you consider antique kitchen gadgets hanging around decorations), and I don't use the phone unless absolutely necessary and in that case I leave brief messages that get to the point quickly.

7. I adore baby anythings, although I prefer baby humans {:-)

8. I have a wild and active imagination which causes me to write the occasional story, poem, song, or "movie screenplay" (none of which I have ever finished to my satisfaction, with the exception of a few poems...)
