Meme about me me me me me

Because Jamie loves blog memes and tagged me.

Here is how we play the game.

1. Post these rules
2. You must post 11 random things about yourself
3. Answer the questions set for you in their post
4. Create 11 new questions for the people you tag to answer
5. Go to their blog and tell them you’ve tagged them
6. No stuff in the tagging section about you are tagged if you are reading this. You legitimately have to tag 11 people!

Random things about me:

1. When I panic, or am waiting for something to happen (and whose outcome I am nervous about), I am frozen by inaction
2. When I was you, I fell of a diving board onto the pool deck, landing on my head. Some would say this explains…
4. When I was a junior in high school, I got hit by a car while crossing the street (to get to the other side)
5. I am an anglophile. I watch the BBC probably more than I should. It’s all I talk about with British people
6. I have played all of the major sports. I was decent at some, but not good enough at any of them to continue playing them in high school or college
7. I couldn’t do a handstand until I was in college
8. I majored in computer science because I found the coding easy and thought that was where the money would be. I then didn’t do anything CS related for 4 years after graduation. This was a mistake
9. I hate disappointing other people, but I let myself down all the time. I’m great at making excuses for myself. And I have horrible time management skills
10. I am a horribly messy person, but I am working on that
11. I am incredibly grateful for all of my friends
12. This list goes to eleven. I hate making lists about myself

Jamie’s 11 Questions:

Finishing Ironman Arizona in 2008. The ironman was the first thing in my life that I had attempted seriously without knowing the outcome

Not working harder in school. But I’m not sure that I could (I think I’m wired as a bad student)

Heights. And chemical warfare

Heights

Flatted 1/4 mile from bike finish. Ran the bike to T2

Work harder.

Hmmm… probably spicy beef stir fry. Easy but damn delicious

For most things? Outdoors. I assume that’s what’s being asked.

Not sure. I watch Top Gear pretty regularly, and even then… if we are talking super car… the Konigsegg? The Bugatti Veyron is just a bit heavy looking in the nose. Non bank-breaker? Hmm… Lotus. Neither fit my bike in them though…

At IMC I think I hit 50+ over the top of Richter Pass

The swim. Only because I’ve gotten so slow lately
