Stolen from FB: 16 Things About Me

This is a little chain note I stole from my Facebook account called .....

16 Things About Me:

Once you’ve been tagged, you have to write a note with 16 random things, shortcomings, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end choose 16 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. You have to tag the person who tagged you (since this isn't Facebook, I'm not tagging anyone).

Here we go ...... *drum roll*

1. I went to a pentecostal holiness church for, like, the first decade of my life.
2. I went skydiving for my 20th birthday. Jumped out of a plane at 10,000 feet.
3. I was engaged once but didn't get married.
4. I memorized the alphabet backwards at age 6 and the Greek alphabet at age 9 ... because why not?
5. I took second place in forms and and one-step sparring in my division at this year's ATA Taekwondo World Championships. That makes me the second-most-deadly noob between the ages of 18 and 29 to be found doing taekwondo in 2008.
6. I can speak German and English. Woo!
7. I have eight siblings, including step-brothers and step-sisters.
8. I used to model ceramic corsets at art shows.
9. I have an unreasonable fear of needles. The one time I went to OBI to donate blood, I nearly fainted after looking at the needle going into my arm.
10. I want to be everything when I grow up. I can't be just one thing, and I'm afraid that choosing one path will make me miss out on all the others.
11. I google people. I google me all the time. I've probably googled you.
12. I have a real chip on my shoulder about borrowing money from people. I have no problem loaning it out (assuming I know the person's someone who'll make good on their debt), but it physically causes me pain to have to ask people for help.
13. My first ever job was in a Michael's craft store.
14. I'm really proud of who I am as a person, and I don't think that's a problem.
15. I have been known to, now and again, embellish the stories I tell to people. My friends kindly call these tall tales "right hand true stories". I don't think this is a problem either.
16. I don't want kids. Like, EVER.

Well, there you have it! Stayed tuned for more randomness and the Braunschweig News At One.
