Man. The internet is weird today - I can’t see my Google Reader to tell me if you’ve updated your site (Did you update today? Let me know so I can read your latest!), none of my TV News sites are posting during the holidays, and people just seem bored in cyberworld. There’s just not much going on. So - how about a meme?

Of course Darren didn’t tag me to do this but I saw it on his site. I’m fairly certain I’ve done this before, but I’m too lazy to see. So - Five Things You May Not Know About Me

1) In first grade I was so scared of the 8th graders in my elementary school (it was K-8) that I wouldn’t go to the bathroom unless we went as a class. So, one day when I really had to pee, I opted to just pee at my desk and hope no one would notice. I think I was hoping someone would be like, “Oh…look…someone spilled something.” Which is exactly how a first-grader would think, I guess. But of course, they were more like, “Oh…look…Kim wet her pants!” But hey - at least no one in the 8th grade got a chance to kill me, or whatever else I thought they might do to me.

2) I wanted to be a nun for about 1 week in high school. I think it was the fear of college and my unknown future that made me think I could just join a convent and not worry about making decisions regarding my future. Because, you know, it’s easier to live a life of celibacy and commitment to Christ than to pick a damn major already.

3) I used to be very scared of this one noise I would hear at night when I was growing up. I didn’t know what it was - I just knew when it would start at night it would scare the shit out of me and my over-active imagination. I learned what that noise was years later when I moved into my first house. It was the refrigerator turning on.

4) I can not stand the sound of Styrofoam containers being closed. It’s like nails on a chalkboard.

5) I played volleyball in high school and actually got quite good. Of course, I also blame a lot of my chronic shoulder pain on that same athletic endeavor. Which is more noble sounding than blaming it on my inherently bad posture.

Okay - your turn!
