escape to insanity

This meme seems to be circulating as of late, so I figured I'd give it a go 'round these parts. The name of the game is to post five things about yourself that others most likely don't already know.

So… for example… I can't say that my favorite animals are white tigers, because I'm guessing you probably already figured that one out. If you didn't know that about me already, well…. I guess you're not all that bright, are you? :P

Okay… so here goes.

Uno.
I couldn't write a poem if my life depended on it. My best efforts turn out something like this:

Roses are red,
violets are blue,
this line doesn't rhyme,
and neither does this one.

Two.
I'm deathly afraid of flying, stinging insects. It's the only thing I've ever come close to having a phobia of. I'll quite literally just freeze up if a wasp gets too close — I won't attempt to swat it away, I'll just freeze.

C.
I'm a sucker for girls with Australian accents.

Second-to-last.
I'm a grammar nazi. Okay, so that's something you might have already known. Hmm.

Real second-to-last.
I love the smell of fresh copies. Walking past the copy machine here after someone just slaughtered a tree is the greatest smell in the world next to freshly-cut grass and freshly-brewed coffee.

Fin.
I wasted four years and thousands of dollars on a college education, only to discover that what I went to school for was not even remotely what I wanted to do with my life. I've since had a few jobs that make use solely of the skills I taught myself, and absolutely loved them.

So that's me. Now it's your turn… I'm not going to tag specific people, I'm just going to let this one go to whoever wants to take thirty seconds of time to fill out a comment.

Go.
