Making this list seems fairly easy b/c most people I'm tagging don't really know much about me!!

1. I don't know how to ride a bike. Really. No joke. It's not inconvenient, except when it is. *laugh* One of my goals for this spring is to learn to ride. Convenient that I own 2 bikes.

2. Until moving to ManchVegas in the summer of 2007, Michigan was the only state that I had lived in. Up until that time, I had lived in more foreign countries (2 -- Scotland and Egypt) than states. Now it's a tie. I really need to fix that sometime by living abroad again!

3. I'm convinced that I'm naturally left-handed but was taught to do most things right-handed. I think this b/c when I first picked up a pool cue, I started playing left-handed on my own and only later learned to play right-handed. In things I do right-handed, it also feels natural to do it left-handed and I'm sure I could get decent with enough practice.

4. Before 2007, I had only been to NYC once. Now I've been there maybe a half dozen times. Great to have friends there to visit while exploring... Still need to do more in Boston, too.

5. Thought I was going to be a HS science teacher after college. Decided I didn't like Chemistry. Switched to English/history. Liked those and then found that being around middle school kids was going to drive me mad. Shifted to journalism and wound up doing lots of webpages. Jobs directly using my English degree were few and far between, so I became a web geek.

6. Never liked beer until after college. I think that's b/c I never had good beer until after college. *laugh* Fortunately, I have Strange Brew and Milly's in Manchester to help with trying new things.

7. I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, where I want to live, etc. I think it's one of those "all of the above" things -- I want to do a variety of things and live in all sorts of places.
