Getting Personal in Ten Facts

Recently, I was asked by a few fellow bloggers about opening up more communications via email and Facebook. Due to my discomfort with crossing certain boundaries of privacy, I declined and replied that perhaps when I become more invested with the blogging community, I’ll change my view. Thus, as a step towards becoming more personal, I’ve decided to list ten things about my life.

Just kidding; I just enjoy making lists.

1. I once watched two entire seasons of Grey’s Anatomy before realizing that the show was targeting a more feminine audience.

2. The first English word I learned was “Robert” during kindergarten. It wasn’t very helpful when I wanted to show the teacher that I was hungry or needed to go to the bathroom.

3. In sixth grade, I wrote a scary story using all my classmates, including my friend’s younger sister. To describe her, I wanted to use a synonym for ‘pretty.’ Using my illiteracy, I went with ‘erotic.’ Needless to say, my friend wasn't too happy.

4. My first sip of alcohol was during sophomore year of boarding school, and it was from a bottle of Jamaican Rum. My Jamaican roommate told me to drink it and that, if I spat it out, I would have to drink it again.

5. Due to my religious following of Rocket Power as a child, I tend to use “dude” in many of my everyday conversations.

6. When I’m rich, I’m going to buy a Formula 1 vehicle. But that’s only if I’m rich.

7. My favorite movie is (and will always be) Hercules. My favorite song in that movie is “I Won’t Say I’m In Love.” Of course, I would never tell my lacrosse teammates any of this.

8. At the age of ten, I finally learned to ride a bicycle. I rode right off a wooden deck, and into a river.

9. To this day, I refuse to play any video games that exceed the difficulty level of Tetris. Why? Because I could never get past the first level of Super Mario Bros on my Nintendo-64.

10. I still watch Grey’s Anatomy.

So, I'm intrigued; what are some facts about you? And what’s your take on confidentiality within the blogging world?
