I bet you didn't know...

How cool is it to be tagged! Wheee!

Okay - 5 things I bet you didn't know about me:

1. The reason all things Pooh is my general theme is because when I was a little girl, my dad often called me "poohbear".

2. I really love children, especially those under the age of 5. And I am incredibly partial to those under the age of 8 months. And I've been told I'm very good with them. When I was growing up, my favorite doll wasn't any of my Barbie collection (which was significant) - it was my Madame Alexander "Pumpkin" doll. I took her everywhere for a couple of years.

3. I self-identify as (in this order): Christian, Conservative, Republican. I hate the requirement on the average standard form that requires me to identify as DWF or anything similar, especially the D part. (oh, and in case you're concerned: I didn't vote for GWB in either of his "elections". In 2000, I voted for the Libertarian candidate, I think. In 2004, I voted for Kerry/Edwards - the first time I ever voted for a Democrat for president. I'd do it again, if he/they ran again).

4. I learned to read at the age of 2. I have read voraciously ever since, until graduate school came along and damn near spoiled it for me. I love all kinds of genres, but I never got into fantasy.

5. I play the piano, the clarinet, the flute, the piccolo, and the french horn. None of them well, anymore, but the clarinet and piccolo once good enough for marching band (a favorite time in my life), piano well enough, once, to accompany the choir in the spring concert (yes, I have a recording), and the flute well enough, once, to play at a wedding.

My turn to tag: tyratae, m2h blogging, SailRunClimbRide, Red Pill Diaries, and penn (all of whom I hope are actually reading this blog).

Two years old? Wow...

As for your musical talents, I play the piano too. It's funny how sometimes I will just throw down whatever book I'm reading for LWP and run to my keyboard to belt out Pachabel. The Canon!

Hah! The irony.

Grad school is defeating me.
