Tagged - (again)

This time I have to post 6 random things about me and then pass it on to 6 people. Yes, it's that simple.

Random thing #1: I cannot drive a stick shift. It's not that I haven't given it a good go. Infact, I have had so many people try to teach me (including mom, dad, Brittany, Josh Lee, Aubrey, and Luke) and in almost every case I either scared them so bad that they yelled at me to get out of the driver's seat that instant, got pulled over within 30 seconds (this really happened - the cop thought that I was some 12 year old out learning to drive in the K-Mart parking lot) or came within 2 inches of slamming into the side of a building.

Random thing #2: I fell off of a cliff when I was 11. I was skiing and it wasn't good.

Random thing #3: I have a list of things that I want to accomplish before I die. (#2: Design a room that gets published in a magazine. #11: Stand up for something when no one else will. #19: Give someone a second chance. #22: Publish a kids book. #27: Kiss behind a waterfall. You get the idea...) #28: Learn to drive a stick. Just kidding! :)

Random thing #4: I used to have a pet raccoon. My friend and I found it one day when I was in junior high and it was newborn and running around injured in the middle of the street. I picked it up and took it home and nursed it back to good health for about a month. (Until the little bugger bit me and we had to have it tested for rabies.)

Random thing #5: I was almost arrested for robbing a bank. It's a long story, and I would never reveal the names of my accomplices, but some friends and I were in the wrong place at the wrong time one night and it could have been bad. I was innocent, by the way....

Random thing #6: My life's ambition is to someday go back to school, get my nursing degree, move with Luke to Ukraine, and work in the orphanages there. How awesome would that be?

People I tag: 1.) Brittany 2.) Jenny 3.) Callie Lippard 4.) Kellie Winn 5.) Rachel Mack 6.) Mindy Stromberg

I don't think I knew any of those things about you! (I guess that's why they're called random facts....) So fun though! I can't drive a stick shift either, I have given up trying.

That was fun to read all those things about you. Wow. I'm glad you didn't tag me. My life is boring compared to yours. Thanks for sharing.
