I’ve been dreading the day, but it finally happened – I’ve been tagged to reveal 8 random facts about myself by a fellow blogger. The twist is that it’s not just any blogger 
, but my favorite blogger Michele Martin of Bamboo Project Blog so you know I had to comply. The best thing is that according to the rules, I also get to tag 8 others to join the fun! At first I thought of this exercise as just a fun twist on the chain letter, but now I see it as a cool and easy way for our blogging community to get to know each other better. Yes, yes, I know this is more than you needed to ever know about little ole me, but here goes.
First, the Rules:
1) Post these rules before you give your facts
2) List 8 random facts about yourself
3) At the end of your post, choose (tag) 8 people and list their names, linking to them
4) Leave a comment on their blog, letting them know they’ve been tagged
Now the Facts:
- R&B and neo-soul music is my biggest inspiration and obsession, and I attend at least two concerts every month. I can barely concentrate at work without my Ipod playing some smooth tunes in my ear.
- I’m a double military brat: my stepdad was in the Navy and my mom served in the Army.
- Due to the military, we lived in Honolulu, Hawai’i for 6 years through all my high school and they were the best years of my life. Forget Florida, I want to retire with aloha!
- I love to cook and my fantasy job is to be an executive chef at a fine dining restaurant or a gourmet caterer.
- I have a sweet tooth that will probably be the death of me. I try to have a dessert after every meal (except breakfast) and it usually involves some form of chocolate or ice cream.
- During college I stopped eating red meat and pork, and now if I try to eat either or accidently get served anything containing beef or pork broth or products, I get deathly ill.
- I plan to write a book one day.
- My vision is very poor and without my contacts, I’m pretty much blind.
(And just in case you’ve now been convinced of my insanity, here is a recent interview with Future Leaders in Philanthropy that gives a more well-rounded view of this blogger.)
