In lieu of anything to say, I was tagged by my brother over
at Music
on Your Pizza at some point before finals, so I’m getting around to it
now. I’m not going to tag anyone else (especially as any of you who read this
have probably already gotten this one), but I’ll answer:
Meme premise: I am to list ten (somewhat) interesting
and (relatively) unknown facts about me/opinions of mine/habits/etc. I am also
to tag ten other people, but as I said, I’m not going to. Given that I’m not
particularly forthcoming on this blog, this may be a big first, but so it
goes….
1) I don’t actually like doing research, though I’ve worked
in multiple labs over the years in different bioogical fields. Now that I’m in
medical school, I’m very happy that I won’t have to do basic research ever
again. Obviously, however, I like talking about it.
2) At one point, I did, in fact, have an investment license
(and I was a public notary). Amusing.
3) I’ve always suspected that my father’s side of the family
plays up their Scottish heritage more than is strictly true, but I’ve never
cared enough to truly dispute it. I find it more entertaining to carry on the
possible vast exaggeration than to be the whistleblower.
4) A nun once hit me on the head with a bible for falling
asleep during a prayer service. I think it’s an even funnier event considering
that I’m not Catholic, and never have been, but happened to go to a Catholic
high school.
5) I paid WAY too much for a car warranty...WAY too much.
6) I often appear younger than my younger brother, so when
we’re out together, I invariably get carded, while he does not. When he’s not
around, I appear about as old as I am, but there’s something about his
presence.
7) I’m convinced that if I work hard enough, I can grow
almonds in Wisconsin.
8) I secretly love shoes, and if I ever have the money, I
intend to have lots of them. I feel rather guilty about this, but it seems a
harmless secret passion. The only real problem is that I tend to leave all my
shoes by the door, having taken them off when arriving home.
9) I didn’t really have an interest in dolls as a child - I
had My Little Ponies instead. Dolls seemed boring.
10) If I weren’t in medicine, I’d sort of love to be a
bohemian artist. Of course, I realize it’s not all my mental image thinks it
is, but I still sort of like it. For a little while.
As I said, no tags, but I didn’t want to be totally remiss
in my “having-been-tagged” obligation.
