Duck, duck, duck....goose!

Duck, duck, duck....goose! Only this time, unlike one of my favorite games from childhood, I get to pick seven geese! :-) Sounds kinda like the 12 Days of Christmas, doesn't it? :-p

Anyway, I choose 1) Mrs. Alexander, because I have yet to type my sister's new name, not to mention she's great at this kind of stuff; 2) Robert, because he's my favorite brother; 3) Ashley, because she's super cool and the only one of my roomies who hasn't been tagged yet; 4) M.R.H., because he's one of the few people who actually read this blog; 5) Tim M., because he'll have interesting answers; 6) Stephanie W., a friend from Richmond, because I've been meaning to write her an email and haven't gotten around to it yet, and 7) Missi B., because I love to read her blog and look at cute pictures of baby Jade. :-)

Now that I've already started the game, let me explain the rules. :-) I was "tagged" by my wonderful boyfriend Joseph (jomoe.blogspot.com), and instead of chasing him around a group of people sitting in a circle on the floor, catching him and making him sit in the "mush pot" (like I would in the aforementioned game), :-p I will instead share seven random pieces of information about myself with my limited Blogger readership.

1. I like heights. It doesn't matter whether it's sleeping on the top bunk, living in a two-story house, walking along the top of a wall, fence, or even a curb, or sitting on the outlying crags of Maryland Heights, I love getting a great aerial view.

2. I generally prefer sitting on the floor to sitting on a chair or sofa. Exceptions are made, of course, for overstuffed and very comfortable chairs and sofas. :-)

3. Speaking of sitting on the floor, if I'm playing with your child or younger sibling, chances are I'm enjoying myself as much as they are. I still like to play with Legos, building blocks, Lincoln Logs, TinkerToys, magnets, marbles, bean bags and all other sorts of cool stuff. :-)

4. I enjoy my own companionship and am very easily entertained. A good book, blank journal, or pretty scenery will keep me entertained for quite some time.

5. I used to be an avid Major League Baseball fan, who collected hundreds of baseball cards, listened to games on the radio, and memorized rosters, pitching rotations, batting orders, win-loss records, and other stats. Go Braves!

6. One thing I want to learn is how to click my heels together like Maria does on her way to the Von Trapp home in the Sound of Music. :-) So far, I've only been able to manage something that looks like a stumble, followed by falling sideways.

7. Another of my quests for knowledge involves learning how to whistle sharply by putting two fingers in my mouth. It's a skill I've always admired and aspired to attain. *grin*

Here's hoping I've entertained you a little! :-)
