Ballad in Plain E

A while ago, I got tagged by Rob Golbeck to do the “5 things” “meme”. So here’re five things you probably didn’t know about me.

1. I could watch TLC Daytime (A Wedding Story, Makeover Story, What Not To Wear, etc.) all day, every day. Seriously. But only the shows about people, not the ones about home renovations.

2. I got dean’s vacation two times before I got my act together, school-wise. The first time was from U of L and the second was at LCC (affectionately remembered as the U of Hell and Last Chance College). Fortunately it wasn’t my last chance; I went to SAIT and maintainted a 4.0 GPA during all four semesters of my LIT program.

3. I had a pixie haircut for about 3 years. Yep. Shorter than Twiggy’s! I had it for three years because growing it out was such a pain. Fortunately there is no digital photo evidence.

4. I am learning to play the mandolin! My late father was a somewhat accomplished bluegrass musician (by accomplished I mean, “his band was popular on the folk fest circuits”), and I realised a couple of months ago that my life just wasn’t complete without some fine mandolin pickin’. Mind you, I can only play about five chords, but it’s all about the effort, right?

5. I think creamed corn is the fruit vegetable of the devil.

I’m supposed to tag five people to do this, but most of my blogger friends have been tagged and completed it already (waa waa). So… how’s about Laurel and Gels over at 12 Hours of Power and Kels at a Life & Times of a Lipstick Librarian?
