Six Things

I was tagged by Laura. :)

List 6 things about yourself which are either weird, habitual, unusual, or just plain fun to hear about. Then tag six to ten others in the El Jay world, who then, in the spirit of not wussing out, must read words like these and follow the same rules you did.

1. I can fall asleep at the drop of a hat. Evan was very startled by this when we were first married and I fell asleep in the middle of a conversation. I can also sleep easily in non-ideal conditions (i.e. buses and airports).

2. If I had it to do over, I might have played the oboe instead of the flute. There are so few oboe players that anything they play is considered good, whereas you have to be a prodigy to get anywhere with a flute. Plus, it seems like a fun instrument and it sounds neat.

3. I was at the Sears store in the Hollywood Mall on the day that Adam Walsh (son of America's Most Wanted's John Walsh) was abducted. I was two years old. My mom apparently left me for a second in the same toy department, about an hour before he was reported missing. She only told me about it recently - I don't remember it at all. Scary.

4. My senior honors thesis in college was about interdenominational dialogue. About halfway through writing it, I realized that my premise (that different Christian denominations could get along if they talked about their differences in a peaceful and respectful way) would probably never work on a large scale in reality. Which made it pretty difficult to finish the paper. :P I think my thesis advisor noticed my change of heart, but he was a holistic type of teacher who thought the journey was more important than the end product, so he gave me an A anyway. I really liked him.

5. I still like Exclamation perfume. :) My other favorite in middle school was Love's Soft Jasmine, but I don't think they make that anymore. I had a vast collection of Love's fragrances.

6. When we were in Miami right before my eighteenth birthday, my parents took me to the Keys to swim with dolphins at Theater of the Sea. It was a dream come true. I have a special photo album for the pictures of me with the dolphins.

I tag anyone who wants to do it!
