7 Things You Never Knew You Didn’t Know About Me
May 19, 2009 3 Comments
The other day I received an email informing me that I had been tagged by Ron from The Wisdom Journal to write a meme about 7 Things You Never Knew You Didn’t Know About Me. I am not a fan of chain letters or a similar Facebook phenomenon called “25 Random Things” however I was intrigued by this one as I felt that it is a great opportunity for me to share with my readers a little bit more about who I am as well as learn about other bloggers.
If I tag you in this article I hope you consider participating. It is a great chance to grow our audiences and share the love.
Here are the Meme rules
1. Link to your original tagger(s) 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.
1) I didn’t get my driver’s license until I was 23. I never had a need for a car and could get anywhere I needed by foot or skateboard. It wasn’t until I had moved back home while in college that I needed a car in order to get around. That is when I bought my first car.
2) I have 12 tattoos. I went through a phase when I thought tattooing was a great way of expressing my creativity & individuality. Today I wish I hadn’t gotten most of my tattoos and am considering having them removed. I never thought I would think about removing them as I felt they were a part of my identity, but I no longer feel so strongly about that. It must be because I am growing up and beginning to realize what is important.
3) I am afraid of heights. I love the view from high places, but I get afraid when I am near cliffs and other high places where I can fall to my death. Despite this fear I still find myself drawn to these places for the views and seclusion. For some reason I feel more connected and more alive when one misstep could be the end of it all.
4) I hate housework. I despise dishes, laundry, dusting, vacuuming, sweeping & mopping. I suppose there are few people who actually like doing these things, but I’d almost rather have my teeth drilled. This is something I really need to improve on.
5) I listen to heavy metal. If you read my list of Top 10 Albums of All Times you probably realized that I like heavy music. When I listen heavy metal I get really excited and motivated. It is the only music that I listen to where I can feel the passion of the band. Sometimes I get goosebumps when the singer is screaming because there is so much energy and heart behind that scream.
6) I am terrible at mini golf. One of my goals is to golf 18 holes under par but with my record on the mini golf course, I have an infinite amount of improvement to make. I am almost two times over par with mini golf, I can only imagine how bad I will be on an actual golf course.
7) I haven’t drank alcohol in nearly 9 years. When I turned 18 I decided that I would not drink alcohol for the rest of my life. Before that time I was a pretty typical teenager and would party with my friends and get drunk. I figured out that it wasn’t what I wanted out of my life so I quit. It has been nearly 9 years without so much as a drop of alcohol and I look forward to living the rest of my life this way.
Now it is your turn, share 7 Things I Never Knew I Didn’t Know About You!
Good stuff Steven… I’ve been tagged twice in the last week so I better pull something together… soon!
Thanks for the tag, but I’ve already done something very similar. Here’s the link:

For what it’s worth, I’m with you on #4 and #5 on your list, and possibly #6 (haven’t played in years, so it’s hard to say). :)
