7 Things

Thanks to Tara, I now have a blog post to write that is pretty easy :)

The Rules:

  1. Link to your original tagger and list these rules in your post.
  2. Share seven facts about yourself in the post.
  3. Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.
  4. Let them know they’ve been tagged.

My seven things:

  1. I learned American Sign Language (ASL) during my stay at RIT and NTID. Since I started learning ASL at RIT, it’s been a big passion of mine (though I haven’t used it in a while). It’s a beautiful language and Deaf culture is incredibly vibrant and connected. After having a deaf boss for a few months I was almost fluent.
  2. I’m a foodie and wino. I love fine food and wine. Especially Petit Syrah and Late Harvest Rieslings. Sarah and I have started attending dinners at a local winery and we’re addicted!
  3. I didn’t learn to program until college. I had always been into computers, but never got into programming. Luckily I didn’t find it too hard and picked it up quickly.
  4. I have a creative side. Guitar, writing and photography are/were hobbies of mine. One of these days I need to buy a nice DSLR and get back into photography.
  5. I have a voracious appetite for knowledge. I grew up reading books constantly. During breakfast, on the bus, when I got home, before bed. I get bored very easily if I’m not reading, learning or doing something new or challenging. I’m always reading, usually a book or two a month.
  6. I am deathly allergic to kiwi. I got it from my mom. I’m also allergic to Tide and Herbal Essences shampoo. WTF.
  7. I loathe Airborne. I think it’s the biggest mass-marketed crock of shit I’ve ever seen. A complete bunch of BS wrapped up in a box. Wikipedia has a good article about Airborne and its false claims.

Now I have to tag some people: Sarah, Mary, Mike, Brock, Jeff, Wil and Justin.

Very interesting! that explains the “killer kiwi” blog header :)
