Five easy pieces
Though I usually step aside in some of these self-perpetuating internet/blog memes, I suppose that since I’ve been explicitly tagged, I may as well. I now present five things my readers don’t know about me. (I now in turn tag Literal-Minded, SC, and…uh…three bloggers yet to be named?)
(and don’t I don’t pretend that this is a time to divulge super secrets, or to go confessing anything; though I assume that telling you how many pairs of shoes I own isn’t exactly in the spirit of the thing)
I am a vegetarian, and have been continuously for about 80% of my life. Exception: when I lived for a year in Japan; it was just too much to avoid eating, well, most food there. Though some vegetarians I knew did manage fine.
Supposedly linguists are supposed to be good at all or some of: math, music, art. The last I confess lack of any talent for (my sister seems to have taken all of those genes); the first two I was keenly interested in until I went to university (including several piano recitals) after which they sort of dropped off the map.
I enjoy cooking and baking.
I don’t really like the number four. You could call it an irrationally-borrowed superstition.
Like Matt, I have a pretty high tolerance for whatever physical stresses might result from walking. I also occasionally read while doing so, but am trying to rid myself of that particular habit.
