5 Things You Don't Know About Me

Joy tagged me with this because she must have known that I love lists too.  I write lists every day...at work...at home...on vacation.  Lists are fantastic and makes me feel accomplished when stuff gets crossed off;  e.g. I probably won't get to the gym today, but hey! I did get to the supermarket and bought onions.  Woo!  Go Kimmie.

1.  I was run over by a car in college.  It's amazing how you feel nothing at all when your body goes into shock.  I remember lying on the ground thinking 'Now is probably a good time to cry, Kimmie. Heellloo, why aren't you crying?!", as I watched the driver run over to me with a look of horror on his face.  Luckily I ended up with only several stitches and a compound fracture in my leg. 

2.  I dust every day.  Or at least all the days that I'm home.  Though I may have dusted in a hotel room or two in the past. 

3.  I played the piano for over eight years.  My teacher told me I was good but I'd never be great because I freaked out playing thirty-second and sixty-fourth count notes.  I'd end up going too fast or too slow and ruin some really difficult passage in the song.   

4.  I used to be painfully shy.  I'd never venture out to a restuarant by myself, or even wait for friends by the bar on my own.  I'd just wait in the car until someone had made it inside.

5.  I can't swim.  I almost drowned as a child, so I've always been afraid of the water.  I was 23 before I learned how to float.  :/

And since everyone seems to be adding bonus ones, I have a degree in Biochemistry and once had dreams of being a doctor.  The dream was short-lived when I realized the sight of blood made me want to vomit. 

Now I'm tagging Byrne, Andrew, and Gladys.  It's your turn to share!
