Five things you don't know about me
I very rarely participate in these type of things, but there’s really no reason not to. I’ve been tagged by Lee Kraus, so here are five things you probably don’t know about me:
- I hate all instant messenger applications, with the exception of Google Talk. If I had it my way, it’s the only one I would use. But other requirements (i.e., work) don’t allow me to do so. Instead, every morning I startup 3 IM services (one of them being MSN Messenger—puke). Google Talk is smart, simple, and unobtrusive.
- I’ve never been on a plane. That’s not to say I haven’t traveled, I’ve just never been on a plane. I’m willing, but believe it or not, the opportunity never really presented itself.
- I’ve been hit in the face with a baseball more than five times. And not because I’m uncoordinated. I’ve played so much baseball in my life, those things just happen. For the record, a baseball isn’t as easy to see when the sun goes down.
- I don’t like talking on the phone. In fact, I despise it. I think I’m too impatient or something. I get irritated quickly. For example, if I’m on my cell phone and I lose signal, I’m done. I close my phone and put it my pocket. Phones are just annoying to me. Maybe that spawns from my anti-social side.
- I’m engaged to a wonderful girl named Amie, and our wedding is planned for May 12th, 2007. And she’s my best friend.
So there you have it. I think I’m supposed to tag 5 other people, but I probably won’t. I don’t know who it would be, anyway. Oh, and I still hate the word meme.

I had a few posts to catch up on b/c I haven’t been checking often while at my parent’s house. I’m glad I knew all 5 things about you before reading your list…I wouldn’t make much of a best friend otherwise, huh?! As for # 2 … you will experience flying on May 13th … yay, it will be here soon! :)

There’s a new one for you.
Can’t believe I stumbled my way to this post.
I remember reading this a couple years ago. I don’t think I knew about the baseball thing.
The thing that actually made me post this time is I had it in my head you proposed after Christmas. I remember being in Charleston with you getting the ring and her dad asking if you wanted to eat dinner at their place that night, even though she wasn’t supposed to know you were up there. I guess we dropped your sister and Dusty off at the mall. I think that is when I bought the Abercrombie jacket that is too big but I still wear it.
Weird how things jog your memory.
