"Tagged"

Well, rather than finish my work, or my book -- currently reading Jodi Picoult's Nineteen Minutes, and she's got a great writing style, though the subject matter is very heavy--I am instead, going to give Traci's blogging game a try...
It's called 8 interesting facts/habits about myself....

1) I broke my collarbone when I was a senior in highschool by falling off a horse. I was told by my instructor to jump over a series of fences with no hands, no eyes, and no stirrups. The first jump was gorgeous -according to those who remember it --second one, I fell off --I don't remember either, as I was knocked unconscious.
At the Emergency Room, they told me I couldn't have pain killers in case I had a concussion and my mom had to wake me up every 4 hours to ask me easy questions like "what day is it" It was during the Clinton Impeachment Trial, so when she asked me who was president, I told her "Clinton, but I'm not sure for how much longer" She likes to tell people I still had a sense of humor and that's how she knew I was going to be okay.

2)I have a list of buildings/architectural and nature wonders that I want to see before I die. --I am an art history nerd afterall.

3)I want to have something published before I die...self-publishing may or may not count - I haven't decided --anybody wanna weigh in?

4)I can tie cherry stems in knots, and unwrap starbursts using only my tongue.

5)I was an English major in undergrad and I admit I am horrible with spelling.

6)I am, however, a grammer snob. I will make note if you say something grammatically incorrect - I will not however make that note vocal. But I may queitly judge you slightly, with an internal thought like "she/he probably didn't learn that while growing up."

7)I have only traveled to two continents, North America and Europe

8)I wish I had studied abroad while in undergrad

I wish I had studied abroad while in undergrad too...

Boo Jodi Picoult... her stuff is way too heavy (I read My Sister's Keeper). People go crazy over her books though (they thrive on human suffering). I'll take the classics and YA stuff any day.

Thanks for playing along!
