I have been tagged for this list more than three times in the past 2 weeks, so I suppose I should get to it.
Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.
1. I am hugely afraid of small, tight, dark places. Can’t imagine how I ever went spelunking in college, but I did.
2. My elbows and knees are double-jointed. I can, therefore, make some really odd shapes with my arms and legs.
3. Probably due to #2, I have dislocated both knees multiple times.
4. …and had arthroscopic surgery on my right knee when I was 14. The first time I dislocated that knee, a bone chip came off my kneecap and was floating around in my joint.
5. I threw up a lot after being under general anesthesia for that surgery. Ick.
6. I never threw up while pregnant. No morning sickness at all, not even nausea.
7. I never dreamed of being a mom when I was a little girl, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world now (most days, haha)!
8. I did dream of going to seminary someday. It’s been a great opportunity to fulfill that dream at Biblical!
9. I hate shopping- food, clothing, stuff for the house- seriously, I only do it because I have to.
10. I have more guy friends than girl friends.
11. I wanted to marry MacGyver when I was a young.
12. I used to take calculators and other toys apart when I was a kid, and it drove my mom NUTS.
13. There was a point in my life when I was closer to my dad than my mom.
14. I have a freckle in the palm of my left hand, which we all called “my treasure” when I was a kid.
15. I also have birth marks on my left leg and the bottom of my left foot. I have always wondered why my left side was “cursed.”
16. I hated, hated, hated the fact that I had a boy’s haircut growing up… but now, having a girl with long-ish hair, I understand why mom kept my hair short.
17. I was actually pretty good at basketball in 6th grade. A kid who was my arch enemy throughout elementary and junior high school actually called me the rebound queen.
18. I lost all athletic ability after 6th grade… really….
19. I think I am partially addicted to coffee because it’s a connection I still have with my mom, who was also a total coffee junkie.
20. I have never doubted God’s existence, but I have doubted his character.
21. I believe in tackling problems head-on. Mom used to call me her bull dog.
22. Once in a while, when I think about calling my Dad, I forget that mom is gone and think how good it will be to hear her voice on the phone.
23. And then I remember she’s gone and there is an ache in the pit of my stomach… even after more than four years.
24. I learned a lot of my philosophy from Star Trek: the Next Generation, but only realized this when I took a philosophy class in college.
25. My family teases me because of my sensitivity to justice issues. The running joke, when I go off about something I believe isn’t right is this: “Ah, Kris Anne’s just cause number 83, 294.” (or some other random number)
Honestly, most of my friends (in the blogosphere and on facebook) have done this list already, so I really don’t know who else to tag!
