8 Random Things meme

Self-tagged by raiagirl

The rules are:
1. Post these rules.
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random facts about themselves.
2. Tags should write a journal/blog of these facts.
4. At the end of the post, 8 or more persons are tagged and named.
5. Go to their page and leave them a comment telling them they're tagged.

1. I generally don't like women's choirs, or acoustic versions of songs on the radio. This makes sense to me - I want a full spectrum of sound when I listen to music, and women's choirs and acoustic versions are like cutting off half the scale (the lower half).
2. I worked several summers at a company that designs and builds satellites. The kind that go into space. (I was their business intern / art intern.)
3. I love libraries! It's not "home" unless I've got a library card there. And I couldn't make it through a semester of school without bingeing at the library for fun books. Usually when I had the most to do.
4. My favorite color is green, but my second favorite color is *grey*. (And I refuse to spell it with an "a". It just looks ugly.)
5. There are eight kids in my family, and I'm the only one who's left-handed.
6. I don't like pearls. Nothing personal - you can like pearls if you want - but I think they look horrible and pretentious on me. (I like sparkly things, though.)
7. I also don't like trucks. Unless you have a legitimate reason, like you live on a farm (or you're a geologist, Rachel). My perception is that casual truck-owners are by-and-large jocky, selfish, insensitive show-offs. And they're the most aggressive and unthoughtful drivers. *shrug* Sorry.
8. Some things that soothe my soul are birds, rain, and leaves. I adore leaf motifs. I need more jewelry with leaves on them. And little bells, ahhh....

I don't know who all reads my journal, so I'm going to leave the tag open, too. You're tagged if you want to be!!
