Tag!!

I saw that I was tagged by Halli and I am absolutely horrible at posting the link to her blog, so I'll just type it in: hallitaukiuvea.blogspot.com

Ok, so the rules are that you are supposed to write 6 random things about yourself and then tag 6 more people.

So, here goes....

1.) I hate walking in crowds. There is something that is sooo frustrating to me about walking through chaos. I hate feeling like my purse is getting jangled (is that a word???!!) around and that gross people's sweat is getting all over me. A perfect example of this is walking down the strip in Las Vegas in the summertime. You should ask my friend Angie about that experience, I thought I was going to clobber some people.

2.) I really, really, really like to crochet. I tried for a very long time to teach myself but since I'm left handed I couldn't quite figure out how to take the instructions from youtube and turn them around. Even the left-handed videos were confusing for me. So, I went over to my Aunt Dixie's house and she stood in front of me and I mirrored what she was doing. Ever since then it has just clicked. Plus, the best part about crocheting is that you get to count in patterns, its fabulous!

3.) I grind my teeth. Well, I wear a mouthpiece at night so that I wouldn't grind my teeth down to almost nothing by the time I was 30, so I guess a more appropriate description would be that I clench my teeth during the night. It is not unusual to wake up in the morning with a horrible headache from clenching all night. My mom used to say that she could hear me grinding my teeth from the other room when I didn't wear my mouthpiece.

4.) I broke my left wrist when I was little attempting a back flip off of Breanne's swing set. I over-rotated and went over on my left wrist. The best part is that Breanne started screaming to call 911. Ha ha, I'm sure the neighbor's thought I was dying.

5.) I used to check to make sure I had all of my "stuff" together before I went to bed every night. It used to drive me so crazy that instead of worrying and checking and checking and checking...I would just pull the item into bed with me. My mom would  come down to my room in the morning after I had left for high school and find random things like cameras, calculators and rings in my bed. Once she even found my cheerleading uniform because I was worried that I had left it at school.

6.) When I was little I really wanted to know how to sing opera. It was a dream of mine. So, I practiced almost every day singing along with the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack. Unfortunately, all of that practice did not help me out whatsoever.

Ok, now, I tag Breanne, Nicole, Alisa, Codee, Cherilyn, and Erin Brandvold!
