6 random facts

i NEVER get tagged, so thanks, leis, for giving me a real excuse for this... lol!

1. Link this post to the person who tagged you: leise
2. Post the rules on your blog
3. List 6 random things about yourself
4. Tag 6 people at the end of your post
5. Let each person know they have been tagged and leave a comment on their blog
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up

1. if i am sitting (or even standing) in one place for a long period of time, i'll fall asleep. it doesn't matter where or how awkward i may look - i can't help it and it's pretty much inevitable. it has happened STANDING on the bus, shopping at walmart, driving (i KNOW!!), in meetings, in front of very important people, and many, MANY more places. it's not cool, it's a disease.

2. i like looking around grocery stores...but mostly only if they have a wide selection of food items. whenever i go food shopping, i usually end up buying more than what we need, so our food storage area has become quite full for our little family. i enjoy watching food network so when i see something in the store that i recognize from the tv shows, i get some sort of excitement from it. it's not like i'm a great cook or anything - but i do enjoy cooking. wierd...

3. the countertops in my kitchen need to be clean & dry at all times. if i notice that there's puddles or even drops of water or whatever, i quickly grab a paper towel and wipe up whatever is there. this type of behavior would probably be labeled as obsessive compulsive...i won't deny it.

4. i make lists of "things to do" every day. this bugs the heck out of brandon, but it gives me a sense of accomplishment and comfort. i picked up this habit from my mom, and i think it really helps me get our family's tasks & errands done. if i don't have a list written down, then i feel like i have nothing to do, so i'll end up just watching tv and wasting my time...which is never good for anybody.

5. i suck at sports and most physical activities. when i was younger, my dad, brothers, cousins, and brothers friends all played basketball together at the chapel cultural hall while i just sat on the side and watched. when i go to the beach, i sit on the sand to soak up some sun, and if i do go in the water it's usually just to splash around in the waves. hehehe. i probably inherited this trait from my mom, but i've definitely come to accept it.

6. i have a darn good memory. when students come to my office to see me, and i remember their name or situation, they feel special - so that's always a good feeling. since my gramps is 97 years old and still talks about his kamehameha schools class of 1932 classmates, i'm guessing i was blessed with this characteristic from him. you know what they say...elephants never forget!

i tag... ange, brie, karen, channy, lizzie, and melby.

lizzie said...

Hmmm . . . you're right Harm, I'm not much into taggings. But I sure did like to learn more about you. I'm slightly covetous of your talent for falling asleep anywhere, in any position. I have a really hard time falling asleep unless I am lying down.

Leise said...

LOL @ #1! I luv it! And I should adopt #4...actually, I've done it a few times and it worked great cuz it does feel nice when you cross something off, but then...I got lazy. So, a goal for me to start that habit again!

remember that one time you fell asleep on our way to walmart? my whole life flashed in front of my eyes.
