8 Things Meme

I was tagged by Mountain Laurel to do post 8 relatively interesting things about myself.

1. When I was in the 4th or 5th grade my Mom jokingly told me we were part gypsy. I thought that was VERY cool and told all my friends and believed it for several years.


2. I don't eat salad dressing or condiments.


3. I have been terrified of UFO's since I saw a news story on TV when I was about 8 years old.


4. I don't like being told jokes or reading jokes, but I do like stand-up comedy.


5. I met my husband on the internet.


6. We got married on top of Spruce Knob, the highest point in West Virginia.


7. I love learning to do new things, but I have a limited attention span. I will learn a new skill or hobby, do it for a year or so, then move onto something else. I used to feel bad because I felt like I couldn't finish anything, but now I embrace it. I think it has made me a more well rounded human. I know how to do a lot of things, but I'm not an expert at any of them.


8. I hate being told what to do and generally don't like advice that I haven't asked for.
