Five things you don’t know about me

Posted in Antiquated.

Well, it’s finally happened, Glenn Wolsey and Ralph Dagza ‘tagged’ me in the “Things you don’t know about me” meme. I think this one can be fun if I put some thought into it. After some time I’ve come up with the following. Friends new and old may all surprised by my personal trivia.

1. I was adopted

This is the one thing people usually second guess. But, it’s true, I was adopted when I was born. I haven’t met my biological parents and I don’t plan on it.

2. I always try to do math in my head

It may sound weird but in class I almost test myself. When teachers start writing accounting problems there may be a number that needs to be solved for. I try to come up with it before she can even read her own notes and write it down.

3. I am extremely indifferent

If there is a decision to be made, I won’t make it. Either way I will be content. Where do we want to eat? I don’t care. Which ski run should we go down now? They’re all good to me. I’m not trying to be difficult, I’m just easy to please I guess. If I have an opinion on something there’s no way you could miss it.

4. I want to be a CEO

Not of any ol’ company- I want to run a huge one. I want to be busy, travel, go to lots of meetings, and oversee something big. Maybe for the money, maybe for the fast lifestyle, maybe for the responsibility, who knows.

5. I don’t enjoy cooking

Unless there is someone there with me it can be fun. But, overall, I find the time cooking and consuming food to be almost wasteful. This is why I always try to do something else while eating (watch TV, meet with a friend, read email).

So, there you have it. You may think I’m weired(er) having read that but it’s just a little more insight into yours truly. Personally, I want Tyme to give us her responses. Oh, and David, too.

    I had no idea you were adopted. I guess it’s similar to someone with an STD you can never tell just by looking at them=P

    lol, by ‘looking at them’ Noah?!

    Hah you did know, just look at Branden. Three inches taller, thirty pounds heavier, blond hair? Hint hint.

    Alright, Ralph, what’s our company? ;)

  5. Sara says

    I knew you were indifferent. But I didn’t know it was because you weren’t trying to be difficult!! Haha

    Did you also know that Devin doesn’t appreciate good movies? That’s another interesting fact.

    No, you’re not just easy to please, although you may be that as well. You’re a Libra. Decisions are painful for a Libra; decisions close down other options; decisions put an end to the endlessly interesting debate about the pros and cons of all the possible options; decisions force you to actually take a side at last. Decisions are therefore be postponed as long as possible, at which point someone more impatient will probably make it for you with any luck, both relieving you of the anxiety and giving you a scapegoat if it turns out to be the wrong one.

    The betting pool is now open on whether when this Libra finally gets married, it will be because he proposed or because she finally got tired of waiting and did it herself. ;-)

    Congrats, Shiela — you just spoiled my deepest secrets to everyone. Sigh. It sounded better when I said I was easy to please…

    [...] Now let’s tackle one more thing. Devin tagged me. Yes, I said I was sick of seeing that meme so this is my ultra smooth way of blending it in because this quiz actually brings some points out: [...]

    [...] I’ve been avoiding this “Things you don’t know about me” meme for a couple of months now on my ColoradoStartups blog. I have basically been refusing to answer it, because I don’t think my readers care too much about my personal life. So fine, Devin, here on my personal blog are five things you (probably) don’t know about me. I’m sure the Colorado Startups readers appreciate the omission over there. [...]
