Thanks to Jordana, who tagged me.
1. My legal birth name was supposed to be Alysia-Marie Arlene Williams. I just arrived a month early, before my mom thought to tell my dad her final choice, so he had to wing it on the birth certificate. Thanks, dad! That was a close one.
2. I have the word "Hi" written in the veins of my inside left wrist.
3. I have a "thing" about the inside of my knees -- particularly the tendons. I must protect them. I won't let anybody near them. Just the thought of someone touching the inside of my knee creeps me out.
4. Scatological humor will always make me laugh. Embarrassing but true.
5. My first choice of instrument in the 4th grade was percussion, which my mom told me I could play Over Her Dead Body. So I picked the French Horn. I wasn't able to take any lessons in percussion until senior year of college when I finally had time to take Percussion Techniques. My suspicions were confirmed: Percussion Rocks, and I Would've Been Good At It. So moms, let your kids play what they want to play. My horn, it is located Somewhere In The Basement.
6. My favorite comfort food is graham crackers smushed up in milk.
7. My first dance recital was to the tune "Yes, Sir, That's My Baby." I was 5. I still have the costume.
8. I have better-than-average hearing in the high frequencies; I hate the sound our TV makes when it's on and not playing anything. I have much worse-than-average hearing in the low frequencies; it can be difficult for me to, say, understand male customers if there is a register in use right behind me. This is the only sane reason I can come up with for why I dislike talking on the telephone so much. (FYI, I much prefer email.)
Now for the new tagees: I tag Kyle, Susan and Andrea W, who (should she see this entry) will have to post in the MatheBlog. Ha ha!

You have a thing about the insides of your knees, too? I thought that was just me.
1. Seriously.
3. ME TOO. Perhaps not quite so strongly, but yeah! I always get weirded out shaving that part of my leg.
4. I remember almost bursting an internal organ laughing with you, Kyle, and Michael about how your aunt and uncle's dog kicked the proverbial bucket while ... RELIEVING himself.

Alysia, this is unrelated to this post, but have you changed your email address? I've been trying to email you today and keep getting the note returned. Then again it could be a Yahoo! problem.
