random things meme

dr. blaze tagged me again. for this one, i'm supposed to list seven random facts about myself. while dr. blaze went ahead and explained each one of her facts (even gave stories!), i'm going to keep mine brief:

1. i have dual-citizenship.

2. i once had a pet squirrel (she was named andy). and i used to have pet chickens.

3. i've driven across the country up and down (a few times) and right to left (once, so far), and have essentially lived within three of the four corners of the country (SE, NE, and NW).

4. i have two phobias, one major and one minor (if they can be categorized as such). the major being cockroaches (even typing that gave me the creeps) and the minor one, which comes and goes, being telephones (my anxiety level rises dramatically when one rings that i might have to answer or when i need to make a call).

5. i like nuts. i love chocolate. just don't mess with my chocolate by putting nuts in it, i find them far too distracting from the pure pleasure that is chocolate (though peanut butter is fine).

6. i've never broken a bone. i cut through one once, and i've had a couple of hairline fractures, but after plenty of injuries that should've resulted in a break, i've never actually broken a bone.

7. i have no rhythm. seriously, none. when people are clapping along to a song, i'm that person you hear who's nowhere near the beat everyone else is on. this lack of rhythm has kept me from ever learning to successfully play any instrument.

ah, now for the tagging of others. yellowinter, since the last one i tagged you with was a bit much to handle with a baby around, how about giving this one a shot (and i still owe you a phone call, when i get past my current phobia)? and rilina, since we've been out of touch for a while and i don't think i've seen you answer this one, wanna give it a shot?
