5 things you probably don't know about me

(this is going around twitter and I wracked my brain to think of something so I'm posting it here too dangit!)

- my undergrad is in American Studies

- I interned/worked as an "on air personality" at a local radio station at the end of college

- I write with my left hand but my right hand is dominant in everything else. Teachers would give me left handed scissors in school and it was rough because I would put them in my right hand!

- I've been blogging in some form or another for 18 years. You can read my current rambles at http://orangerful.com (shameless self promotion is a skill)

- Two of my college professors thank me in their books (wish I could remember what brilliant things I said to them!) <-- I was running out of things to put so I got bored and Googled my name and found this out LOL

Nerdy things I have done. I set up a Google Alert for my name some years back so I get notified of any other appearances.

omg, what are the chances! I do the exact same thing with my hands/handwriting/dominant hand! :D I used to be ambidextrous as a child & I wrote with both my right and left hands in elementary school, but I broke my right writs in a roller skating accident & could only write with my left hand for a while... and it stuck. Not sure why I do everything else with my right hand though. :p

That's wild! I started to write with my left hand and my grandmother had been left handed at a young age but FORCED to switch hands, back when people thought being left handed meant something was wrong with you. My parents didn't want to do that to me, so they didn't make me change hands BUT I was living in a right-handers world so it was easier to learn things modeled for me by using my right hand. That's my guess anyway.

That's cool you found out about those acknowledgments through Google.
