Five or so Things

I have been tagged by Scott and Shannon to present five unusual facts about myself.

Although I am very tired from a whirlwind bloggy get-together in which I. Squeezed. The Chuzzle. I will comply, with a slight twist. I present to you: five truths and a lie. You decide - which is the lie?

• I have a very hard time telling left and right apart and failed a driving test because of this.


• I learned to drive on a stick shift (in New York City) and will never buy a car with an automatic transmission. I hate driving them.


• I hate following or being followed by someone I know when I'm driving. I am terrified that they will get into an accident and I will see it happening and be unable to stop it. I often insist on giving people directions instead and come up with excuses for why they shouldn't follow me.


• In high school, I was a competitive race-walker.. Picture a duck with a firecracker shoved up its behind.


• I do karate but don't like watching martial arts movies.


• I have always wanted to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail.

Which is the lie? Speak up! I tag... anyone who wants to do it.

I will second just about everyone in the OC and say YOU MUST GO TO THIS SITE IMMEDIATELY. I am torn looking at it, because it's absolutely incredible and at the same time it makes me want to kick myself because I've thought doing something very similar and of course I have never gotten off my big fat butt and done it.
