Tools for Personal and Organizational Change

7 Strange But True Things About Me - Plus a Tag for All Personal Development Partners

Hello. Thanks for stopping by. If you would like to learn more about personal and organizational change, why not subscribe to the RSS feed. Or, if you're old school, Bookmark This Site

Don’t be scared off by this headline! I’ve been tagged by my blogger friend David Rogers at Reasons-4-Smile to participate in a meme. It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, so I thought I could share a little bit more about myself. So, without further ado, here is my list:

  1. Back when I was cool, I played in a band call the Deep Fried Pickle Project. I was a multi-instrumentalist, but my specialty was washboard. Unfortunately, grad school and other obligations got in the way of my ascent to musical super-stardom!
  2. I’m an aficionado of unusual condiments. I just cannot pass by a bottle of curry ketchup, wassabe mustard or jalapeno peach jam without grabbing it up.
  3. I started college as a theatre major. That didn’t last very long, but I gained a lot of valuable skills through acting. I’m not afraid of public speaking, I know how to project my voice, and I can apply stage make up like nobody’s business!
  4. I can write with my toes. You probably don’t need more details about that.
  5. I took two years of Ancient Greek in college. I barely remember a thing, but I did memorize a few lines from the Iliad for party trick purposes.
  6. My favorite thing to do at a party is find a good place to stand back and watch the action. I guess that’s why I’m a professional researcher.
  7. I’ve never traveled outside North America and the Caribbean. Hopefully I’ll remedy that this spring with a trip to Cracow, Poland for a work exchange.

Now comes the fun part. As is the custom with these memes, it’s my solemn duty to tag at least five other bloggers. I wanted to give my fellow members of Personal Development Partners an opportunity to respond. I’m explicitly tagging five awesome bloggers that I’ve interacted with, but I invite all members to participate. If you have a blog, link to this post and I’ll add you to the respondents list. If you don’t have a blog, add your list in the comments and in the discussion thread at the site. Here’s my list:

and last but definitely NOT least, the man himself

    OK, I am working on my list. But you really have to give us those details about the toe writing. Why? How? When? Where? And how did the crowd respond?

    Haha! Thanks for participating, Lexi.

    As for the toe writing, I have to admit it was a pastime when I was a kid. The neighbor boys found it hilarious. It’s been quite a while since I tried it, but I may just give it a shot tonight :)
