7 Things About Me!
Posted on February 10, 2008 in It's Not JUST About Me by DM
I’m delighted to have been tagged by Brett Rogers over at BeatCanvas to participate in a meme called “7 Things You Never Knew About Me.” I’m supposed to share some things about myself that might surprise you… and then “tag” (invite) a few other folks to participate. Here goes:
1. My first job was reading newspaper articles and business documents to a blind entrepreneur. This financed my purchase of a Honda Express. My second job, around age 16, was as a DJ at a roller skating rink. (“Are you ready to HOKEY POKEY??”) This financed my purchase of a pair of dance skates. I became a really good skater, and stayed that way well into my 20’s. These days… well, let’s just say I’ve noticed that my center of gravity has changed.
2. Back in 1993, the inside of our home and all its contents were destroyed in “The Flood.” I was pregnant at the time.We rebuilt the house and officially became the idiots you see on television who refuse to move.
3. After graduating from college, I began a book-length work in which I intended to analyze various elements of cinematic symbolism contained in the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers
4. Writing – either by hand or electronically – is in my soul. Sometimes, I get “restless finger syndrome” where I literally must pick up a pen and write, even if I’m just scribbling my name. I’m addicted to pens, markers, paper, computers… anything that helps me get the words out.
5. I have a tasteful but discreetly located tattoo consisting of two hummingbirds. I intend to get a second, equally tasteful and discreet tattoo in the very near future.
6. Growing up, my nickname was Jay-Bird, often shortened to Jay. These days, my nickname is Corn Dog.
7. I am a brand-loyal Harley Davidson rider, and learned to ride motorcycles at the age of 40. I’ve since ridden about 12,000 miles, including a 2006 trip to and from the Sturgis Rally in South Dakota.
I’m going to specifically tag three bloggers to play along here - Shane, Iowa Harley Girl, and Steve Mathews – but if you’d like to participate without being tagged, feel free! Please be sure to link back here in your post so we can go and read it! And as always, if you don’t have a blog, feel free to post your “7 Things” in the comment section below.
