I'm it!

An online board of women living abroad that I participate in has been playing blog tag - and I'm it! These are the rules:

1. Link to the person who tagged you.

2. Post the rules on your blog (check!).

3. Write six random, arbitrary things about yourself.

4. Tag six people at the end of your post and link to them.

5. Let each person know they've been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.

6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

Holly tagged me and so here are my answers:

Six random things about me:

1. I love knitting, and I obsessively knit more and more as my life becomes more stressful. My most productive knitting cycle yet has been during the move to Japan.

2. We have German neighbors, and I adore talking to them. It is like a weight lifted off my shoulders to speak a foreign language that I actually KNOW how to speak.

3. I am the anti-procrastinator. I get too stressed out having anything hang over my head waiting to be done. In college I used to get my papers written a week ahead of time.

4. The thing that stresses me out the most about Japan is people's inability to walk on the LEFT (or at least in an orderly manner). It is like a free-for-all in the subway. I have been whacked by an inattentive commuter more times than I can count.

5. I like having painted nails, but if there is only one little chip or smudge I have to take the all the polish off IMMEDIATELY. It is physically painful for me to deal with imperfect nails.

6. I just realized that all of my "random" tidbits make me sound like an obsessive compulsive loon!

I tag Jen, Jessica, Allison, Deb, Heather, and Ken (and anyone else who wants to participate)! You're it!
