10 Things I Love About Me

10 Things I Love About Me (a MySpace tag)

The rules are: Once you have been tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 weird random things, facts, or habits about yourself. At the end, you choose 5 people to be tagged, list their names, and why you chose them. Don't forget to leave a comment that says 'you are tagged' on their profile and tell them to read your latest blog. ENJOY!!!

Let me muster up the courage to confess. Hold on.

Ok, here it is:

1) My spine is rotated and bent to one side, which affects my hips because now they're out of alignment, too.

2) I moved to Oregon when I was 12. Now, unless I am really tired or something, I don't have an accent (alledgedly). I can do that because I used to listen to the radio a whole bunch.

3) I can type about 70 words per minute with very few errors.

4) I used to talk to myself. No, not just "Oh, Elaine, you're so silly." I literally spoke out loud to myself what I had in my mind. Now that I have Brian, I just tell him everything.

And of course, I write.

5) I got published at the age of 17.

6) I can't drive.

7) I never believed in Santa Claus.

8) I used to swim in grade school -- and I was pretty good at it -- but I don't even remember how to swim anymore.

9) A day of thinking can get me more worn out than after I have climbed Smith Rock, hiked up Monkey Face, canoed for hours in the Marina, rafting for hours (plus water fights) all in 3 days (plus staying up late at night).

10) I have a fascination about Africa that I can't completely comprehend.

I tag:
1) Annie -- coz I haven't heard from her in a while;
2) Nora -- coz she's gonna have a baby;
3) Giovanni -- coz I miss him;
4) Mary -- coz she needs the distraction;
5) Del -- coz I know he actually reads my blogs.
