I was tagged by Ghosty for this 8 things meme. Damn you, Ghosty! ;-)

The rules:

  • Share 8 random facts/habits about yourself
  • Tag 8 people to do the same
  • People who are tagged should write their 8 things on their own blogs, and link back here.

1. I’m scared of heights, but it hasn’t stopped me from going to the top of the Eiffel Tower, the World Trade Center, and the CN Tower. I would love to go on a show like The Amazing Race, but I’m worried I’d be forced to bungee jump or something crazy like that!
2. I’m left handed AND double jointed.
3. I broke my right arm when I was 6 at a roller rink. I can still feel a lump on the bone from the way it healed.
4. I skipped the 7th grade, that is to say I went directly from finishing the 6th grade one June, and started in the 8th grade that August.
5. I think Bruce Springsteen is hawt.
6. I’ve held jobs at McDonald’s, Target, Carvel Ice Cream, Publix, and Domino’s Pizza.
7. I don’t like my Fred Flintstone feet. In fact, I don’t like MOST feet. That doesn’t stop me from going barefoot 99% of the time at home, inside and out.
8. As a pet owner, I’ve had 5 dogs (a mix, a chocolate Lab, 2 dachshunds, and a Brittany Spaniel), 2 roosters, 2 chickens, lots of fish, 2 bunnies, and 4 guinea pigs.

We looked into skipping Patrick up a year, but, all that went along with it was just too much to deal with. I did get a lot of information on it, though – and it seems like 7th grade would be one of the harder years to skip. How was it for you, that first year?

About being scared of heights…I read somewhere once that the reason humans are scared of heights because deep down we want to jump! Crazy, huh? It’s not that we want to die – we want to fly! Pretty cool I think.

Oh, crap. I tagged Sindy too! Ha! I’ll have to think of a new person.

You have Fred Flintstone feet!? What’s that like?

No way. I always pictured you as having dainty feet. Daintier than mine anyway. :)

Ghosty, it means that I’m an excellent bowler :-)
