I've been tagged

I'm supposed to post 7 random facts about myself and tag others. I could only come up with a few friends/family who haven't already been tagged recently, so, like ALL chain mail I get, the buck stops here. (Hint...don't send me chain mail or e-mail especially if you expect to receive money, recipes, books, etc in return. You won't get it from me.)

1. My younger sister is physically bigger than me. When we would get into fights, I would run into my bedroom, throw myself onto my bed, and bicycle kick like my life depended on it--because it did.

2. I used to pride myself for having no sense of style. In high school, my favorite outfit was a Large (should-a been a small) t-shirt with a base-ball cap. I also owned a pair of Delta Rabbit Red high-top Converse shoes. (okay, so I still don't have a lot of style, but I'm trying a little harder now.)

3. My first job was at McDonald's, and I really enjoyed it. My favorite parts: knowing how to do EVERYTHING there, hosting kid's birthday parties, cleaning the outside of the play land, and closing on a weekend night so I could take a few drags on Main Street after work without "breaking" my curfew...hey, I was working late. My least favorite part: cleaning the nasty men's room, taking out trash, and working Sundays and some holidays.

4. I've "gone out" with a few interesting characters--a wanna be body-builder, a cowboy, a high school sport star (but not from my high school), an EFY junkie, a RM--aka Returned Missionary (while I was only 16), a co-worker, a high school drama king, a couple of wrestlers (but not at the same time--eww), and an underwear model (okay, so the underwear model isn't real...it's just another story, right Emilie?). Maybe I'll just call that underwear model a dumpster diver. Yeah, that works. At least I married the best kisser!

5. I sweat. A lot. One reason why I wore a large T-shirt (explained in #2) is because I would just sit in class and do nothing and still just drip. drip. drip. I didn't want shirt-stains, so I wore large shirts. I put on prescription antiperspirant for years (enabling me to be more in style with fitted shirts), then realized that certain over-the-counter antiperspirant worked as long as the Aluminum was at least 15%. Check your deodorant...does it make the tough cut? Are you Sure? Or is it a Secret?

6. My nerdy confessions: I received the Presidential Award in 6th grade, I've never been shy to raise my hand when I know answers, I was the English Sterling Scholar my Senior year in High School, I studied for and took the ACT 4 times, I was on the Academic Decathlon (we competed against other nerds at a state competition), a few of my poems have been published, I was the only student in my HS Accounting 3 & 4 class, I was the HS newspaper editor. I don't really have a lot of things in college (BYU) that stand out because most people there were as nerdy as me or more so. My greatest nerdy accomplishment...I married a nerd. My greatest nerdy dream...I hope our children grow up to be nerds.

7. Some people remember movie titles and actors/actresses who played in which movies and what those actors/actresses actually look like. I don't. I remember scripture references. If I don't know it right on, I can usually find the scriptural phrase in less than 30 seconds.
