Six pieces of Trivia

My friend Vanessa at The Anguished Corn has tagged me for a little get-to-know you trivia. I'm not sure if this will make me look terribly interesting, or just kinda dull, but here you go. A few things you may (or may not) have known about the Liz...

The rules:
1) Link to the person who tagged you.
2) Post the rules.
3) Share six non-important things / habits / quirks about yourself.
4) Tag at least three people.
5) Make sure the people you tagged KNOW you tagged them by commenting what you did.

So ... here I go:

1) With my SIL and her friends as a barometer, I'm turning out to be cooler to 17 yr olds at age 28 than I was when I was 17. If my cool-ness quotient continues to rise, I'll be the hip-est granny around someday. However, I'm sure this must be a bell curve and I'll start going down again soon.

2) I have played the trumpet since I was 10 years old (18 years - wow) and still play today though not as often as I'd like.

3) I can read French, Hebrew, Ancient Greek and a tiny (but growing) bit of Spanish and I own first Harry Potter book translated into ancient greek!

4) I have a tremendous song memory when it comes to lyrics and can sing almost any song after only hearing it a few times, however if you asked me who wrote the song, performed it or what the title was I'll probably be clueless.

5) When I was young I had a terrible phobia of storms and tornados especially. Whenever there was a storm my dad would mimic the "tornado/wicked witch music" from the Wizard of Oz. I had the phobia until I met my husband and his family, who experienced a tornado in their town first hand. Since then, I still feel uneasy but I'm no longer paralyzed by them.

6) When I was young I really wanted to be an astronaut and be the first person on Mars. My sixth grade crush and I had a race going to see who would be the first person to do it. So far, it isn't looking good for either of us.

Oh, and I tag Scott, Tiffany, and Barb
