I got tagged by Ms Sizzle the other week to list 10 honest things about myself. So here goes:
1) I used to play the piano, and for a nine year old I thought I was pretty good. I stopped practicing not too long after my lessons stopped, which I didn’t regret until some years later.
2) If I seem to shift back and forth a lot it’s not because I’m antsy. Due to what I’ll call a structural defect it’s extremely uncomfortable for me to stand in one place for very long. The shifting about is an attempt to juggle my weight from leg to leg.
3) I haven’t seen my dad in five years. I don’t seem to mind. I’m not sure if that should bother me or not.
4) Related to the above, I didn’t let anyone in my family know that I was coming to San Diego last summer. I do miss some of my cousins quite a bit but if you see some of the family you pretty much end up having to see all of them.
5) I am my own biggest critic.
6) Despite appearances I am actually a pretty big introvert. I have just learned over the years to do what it is you people-persons do.
7) I miss San Diego something fierce, but I think there is too much of the Pacific Northwest in me to ever really go home again.
8 ) I often think that I have no real creativity to speak of, and in fact am just ripping off other people who are better at what I do than I am.
9) I have long wished I was able to sing.
10) All this disclosure made me twitch.
Feel like playing along? Tag. You’re it.

re: #6, it is kind of funny to compare your party animal/tequila whore status now compared to a few years ago when you were mainly just a blogger bodyguard of few words.
also, you never said a word to me when we were college dorm mates.
olly, olly oxen free!
I remember when I met you at TC07 – how totally shy you were, blah blah blah. I *also* remember you working that room at TC08! So, I totally get what you mean about learning to do how we crazy extroverts do.
Also, the one thing that scares me silly about moving soon is that I have SOOOOO much California in me that I have no idea how to live anywhere else (yanno, if I go out of state).
Number 8, oh number 8. I totally understand that one and feel the same way a lot of the time!
Sizzle tagged me for this too and I had forgotten until I read this. I need to get working on that!
I never would have guessed you were an introvert! I’m only an introvert when I’m sober.
I had a nice little comment all ready to say and then I got distracted by the cinnamon rolls I just made. Now my fingers are sticky and so are my keys. Darn.
Now I can’t think of anything, stupid sugar and cinnamon goodness.
Weight-shift all you want. I’ve decided to continue thinking that it is adorable boyishness rather than actual discomfort, because to think of it being caused by discomfort makes me sad. Also, you ever think of playing the piano again? There’s no statute of limitations on it, I’m pretty sure.
Nah, I won’t play the game….but I LOVED hearing more about you. It’s high time we get together.
I’m sure if you’d let me give it a shot, I could be a much bigger critic for you than you already are for yourself. I’m a total bastard… ask anybody!
brandon, I was just never sure how to confront you about the sink-peeing issue.
kat, no tagbacks!
hilly, it’s so true, I touched twice as many boobs in ‘08.
radioactive tori, get to it! I can’t wait to read yours.
jennie, no wonder we got along so well.
sarah, promise me you will stay this adorable forever.
shari, I will if you promise to work on your book this year.
a lewis, well yeah, let’s get some tea!
dave2, I’ve heard that about you.
The way you feel about the piano is the same way I feel about guitar.
I am shy too but no one would believe it. ;-0
