I was tagged by…somebody¹…over at Pownce over the weekend to answer eight things about myself that you may not know.

Now those of you who’ve known me for years or are a long-time reader of this blog will most likely know a few of these things – but these are for the new friends I’ve acquired off Pownce.

So without further ado…

The Eight Things About Blogkitten

1. I was a cheerleader in high school – football and basketball. Yes, I have photographic proof! No, you can’t see them. Bad late 80′s/early 90′s hair is never a good thing.
2. Until I was a junior in high school, I had 10 people in my class – then I had 56 when my school consolidated with three other schools in the area. Out of the 10, I was related to 5 of them in one way or another. I come from a very large family.
3. I’m a winner of the Louis Armstrong Jazz Award – awarded to me by my peers (I played the alto saxophone). I wish I would’ve kept up with it over the years – but I still have my saxophone in the closet, so there’s still a chance.
4. I’ve met my musical idol – and he knows me by name. Because I’m that awesome.
5. I’ve always wanted pink hair – but I’m at the age where I would just look stupid and I regret not doing it when I was younger.
6. Despite my outgoing nature, I can be a bit of a hermit. I’ve had weekends where I haven’t talked to anybody nor left the house.
7. All my web design/graphic design skills are self taught. You can judge for yourself if that’s good or not.
8. I played softball and volleyball all through school and through most of my 20′s – once I hit 30, I started running and I’ve not played either sport since.

I can elaborate on any of these over on my Pownce account.

I’m not tagging anyone else to do it – feel free to do it if you want to.

I need to get out for a run tonight, but with this pollution advisory and my allergies going nutso, I may not be able to. But, considering I’m running in a 5k early Saturday morning and I won’t be able to run on Thursday (Tech Snark recording night) and it’s not a good idea to do a long run the night before a race, I’ll have to get one in either tonight or tomorrow.

Perhaps some Tylenol Allergy & Sinus is in order.

Have a great day!

1 – I can’t remember and I had to go back 5 pages in my friends list to catch up from last night. There’s no way I can find it now!
