Tagged by Psychodiva: 8 Things About Me

Thanks go out to Psychodiva who tagged me!

  • All right, here are the rules.
  • We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
  • Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
  • People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
  • At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
  • Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

Okay, here we go:

  1. Until I started college, I thought I'd become a music teacher/band director. I learned all the instruments I could and played in any ensemble that would have me. But I didn't like doing theory or learning scales, or practicing. So I married a musician/composer instead. I tell people that since my husband is a musician, I needed to make money and went into marketing/business instead.
  2. I don't want to be buried in the ground. In fact, I don't like the idea of my dead body being paraded around. Just burn me, have a big party, and put my ashes wherever you want.
  3. I spent the first 5 years of my life on an old farm in Nebraska. My parents didn't farm (except for a large personal garden), but we were surrounded by fields and animals. I remember it fondly.
  4. I hate seafood. I do not like the fishy taste. I also don't like the fact that some look like giant bugs. They probably were bugs at one time. Don't tell me that swordfish is the least-fishy-tasting fish. If it's fish, I won't like it.
  5. I am currently writing a youth novel (for ages around 12). It's about an obsessive-compulsive ghost that farts a lot.
  6. My kids (aged 7 and 2 1/2) have an electric guitar, piano and drum set that they are allowed to play. The noise does not bother me. I think it's music!
  7. I love to play video games. Especially ones where you shoot things. I'm not so much into roll-playing games, but I do like Sims. I wish I had more time to play.
  8. I love watching the special features on DVD's, especially the deleted scenes and mistakes. I love knowing how they made something.

not like fish! You should try sushi, raw fish doesn't have a fishy taste!

Not sure I can do this. I'm on vacation and not blogging a whole lot, but I enjoyed reading yours and am still thinking about the book your writing. Interesting subject!

I'm not wild about fish myself. Thanks for the tag. I'll see if I can't work myself up to do this again, though after doing it a couple times I'm afraid I may have run out of things to say about myself :)

I hate seafood. I don't think that God meant for us to eat something so ugly and smelly. I understand that other people love it, though, so more for them!

I played, it's up at my blog now!

I hate seafood too! I feel like I have to keep quiet about it tho cos other people don't understand lol

I also adore playing shoot-em-up video games- a great stress reliever and please can i have a copy of your book when it's finished?? it sounds like my kind of thing and so often young people's fiction is better than adult fiction.

Mine are up now. They're not as in-depth as your's, but they're up. :-) Thanks for the tag!!! xoxo

I love your explanation for why you got into marketing/business. And I also love your feelings about your kids' music! It is music indeed.

I bumped into your blog via Brad S. He's working on a new post, I hear...
