I haz been tagged.

1. Post these rules.
2. Each tagged person must post 8 things about their self on their journal.
3. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people
4. No tag-backs

1. I went to two different high schools at the same time. This confuses people and I love using it in that "two truths and lie" icebreaker. One was just a regular school, the other was a county-wide math/science school, aka nerd school.

2. It's one of my goals in life to learn 5 different languages. Not necessarily to be fluent in them, but know enough to be able to hold a decent conversation. 2 down, 3 to go.

3. I have been to as many foreign countries as I have states in the US. For the curious, the number on each side is 20.

4. I once thought I was allergic to strawberries and didn't eat them for 2 years.

5. Other than the place I lived in Germany, every place I've lived since I was 10 has been really close to railroad tracks.

6. I've recently become addicted to Lego Star Wars for the PS2.

7. I never really had a nickname until I started working at the HP.

8. I have a firm belief that everyone should move at least once in their lifetime.

This was awesome! :) Very interesting facts. So what languages are a part of your goal? I've had a similar goal for about 15 years now. :/ But always figured it'd be impossible so I give up before I even try.

Everyone should move at least once huh? I guess that'd be more interesting than staying in just one place. :/ Do you mean house or state/country?

To a different city. Moving to a different house in the same city really doesn't count unless we're talking some place like NYC. It helps you realize that there's more out there than just what's out your back door.

I don't have any specifics. I want to learn some of the more obscure ones, but just generally 5 languages. Besides english.

I get what you're saying about the moving thing. I'm still bitter I lost that house my family has had for ages because I had this fantasy of raising my own family in it one day, but now that it's gone I have the freedom to go live wherever I want without feeling like I'm tied to that house. If I ever had kids I'd still believe in raising them "in one spot" but I also know that while I'm single and free with all my freedom, I should get out there and explore a little more. One person once said they believe everyone should live at least 6 months in NY. I'm not sure why exactly but I never forgot that. It made me realize how much a person is missing out if they only live in one spot their whole lives. :/

Very cool facts, thanks for sharing! And that's a lot of states and countries, I've only been to 11 countries I think.

What do you speak now besides German & English?

Japanese. Not well, but enough to get around. I'm a bit out of practice.
