Finn’s mom (who also happens to be a fab friend) tagged me for a Meme. How fun! I’m supposed to write about six random or odd things that you might be surprised to learn about me. Since this is a photoblog, I have tried to include as many photos as I can. Enjoy my randomness!
1. When I was in 7th grade, I fell 35 feet out of a tree. Seriously. I am really lucky that I only broke my wrists. I am also lucky that I made my sister go get my mom to come outside and take a picture moments before I fell, otherwise no one would ever believe that I fell that far.


And for whatever reason, my mom made me return to the scene of the crime for a picture after I got my casts on. Do you love my Umbros?

2. When I was little, I had a lazy eye and had to wear a patch. I of course hated it, by my mom made me stick with it and do all these crazy eye exercises. To this day, when I go to the eye doctor, they always comment on what a good job my parents/doctors did correcting this when I was a kid. Thanks mom. This photo was taken in the school house of some sort of historical site. I was giving some sort of reading lesson I suppose. Nerd alert.

3. I won the superlative “Most Likely To Get Away With Anything” in 8th grade and then again in 12th grade. Here is the pic that was in the yearbook. We are in the assistant principal’s office kicking back with some pizza. It seemed cool at the time.

4. You may need to sit down for this one. When I was in college, I had a nose ring for about six months. It was a tiny little stud. And no, I don’t know what I was thinking. Note that I am pointing to my nose ring with a french manicured finger. Oh the irony.

5. Ben Folds is my absolute favorite artist. I have seen him in concert 12 times. This a pic from a concert I went to in Williamsburg, VA. It was one of my favorite shows because it was so small and intimate. (And low budget… note the truck right behind the stage).

6. I don’t have a pic for this one, but you may be interested to know that my first major in college was Peace, War and Defense (aka PWAD). Although taking classes such as History of Sea Power and Crisis and Change in Eastern Europe was fascinating, I eventually decided to change my major to Journalism. (However, I am still an expert on the Czech Republic since 1989, so if you have any questions, just let me know…)
