5 Things You Probably Don’t Know About Me
Melissa (Road Gladiator) tagged me with this meme. I’ve enjoyed reading how other people have answered this question, because it gives me a chance to know some of my favorite bloggers a little bit better, so I supposed it’s only fair that it’s now my turn.
So here are five things that you probably don’t know about me:
- I was runner up to Miss Washington Teen when I was 16 years old. I know the whole beauty pageant thing doesn’t square with my strong independent streak, but that dichotomy is part of who I am.
- I don’t know how to swim. I never learned as a child, and although I could dog paddle my way through a very rudimentary swim test for my job, I consider myself a non-swimmer.
- I was on a television game show a number of years ago, and won $1500.
- I have never been to Europe. (I’m going to change that this year!)
- I hate snakes. I mean, I REALLY hate snakes. At one time I passed out when I saw one.
Now it’s my turn to tag five other bloggers, a chance for everyone to get to know them a little better: Laughing Chow at Photography Tips in Plain Language, Tish at Travels with Tish, Ellen at Queen of Sky, Ray at Astroprof, and Flygirl at Sorry I Don’t Have Peanuts.

Your tidbits are more interesting than mine. Hard to believe a travel blogger hasn’t been to Europe–have fun fixing that this year.

Hi Michelle,
Actually, I think of myself as pretty boring!
Yes, I know the Europe thing is nuts. It seemed that every time I made plans to go, something major happened that would interfere. 2007 is the year that all changes!

[…] Hmm. Mary Jo tagged me with this meme. I am supposed to tell five things that people probably didn’t know about me. […]

Wow, we have some things in common (Nos. 2, 4, 5) and others that parallel.
I think that these facts are so interesting, especially when we think about our background and preferences.
This is a great exercise. Thanks to both of you for the idea (and tagging).

You, a travel blogger never visited Europe? It’s REALLY surprising.

Lisa: I know, it’s crazy, huh? Everytime that I made plans to go, something bad happened in my life (a death, serious accident, etc). After that, I just stopped making plans.
