I Was Meme’d About Me Too

Tagged by Brian Brady.…Thanks Brian, I was looking for something else to do 
I also got meme’d by Ola over at Realtio this morning…meme-ing moves fast!
If you dont know what a meme is, click here. I learn something new everyday…
Basically there has been this game of ‘blog tag’ going around started by Mary McKnight and of her buddies. Literally as I was reading her post, I got tagged. The topic is 5 things most people don’t know about me.
OK, 5 things most people (on this stage) probably don’t know about me:
1) Im typically very quiet and ’soft-spoken’ or ‘hard to hear’, quite the contrast to my ‘online voice’. Some call me shy, others mistake it for being aloof. I think it’s partially due to the crazy thoughts that go through my head, It’s not hard for me to get in a detailed discussion with myself My dad told me its ok to talk softly, just carry a big stick (Teddy Roosevelt, I believe)
2) I have ADD…BAD. Wasn’t diagnosed until I was 30..my doctor thought it to be quite amazing that I made it through grammar school school, let alone college based on my test score. I was one of those kids who made an A in whatever I was interested in (math and science, especially the Biology’s), there were many classes I didn’t even need take notes in. On the other hand, Art, History of the Bronze Age, Literature, and Poetry were not my strong points..I managed quite a few ’suspect’ C minuses. I had perfect attendance, just couldn’t pay attention long enough to retain anything. Anywhoo, Im better at paying attention to ‘boring’ stuff now 
3) I played semi-pro soccer, as a keeper (goalie), and managed to: Blow both my knees out, break my collarbone, break my ankles (a few times), dislocated my 9 fingers (never my thumb) about 10 times each, and suffered concussions on 2 occasions that were severe enough that I didn’t remember the 12 or so hours post impact. I still feel good enough to play basketball, baseball, tennis, and golf though; top notch doctors I guess. Oh yeah, I was timed at 4.38 in a 40 yard dash when I was 27…and for some reason I am very proud of that? There’s never an opportunity to tell people that without sounding like that pathetic dude who still talks about high-school glory days…
4) I traveled around Europe by myself for two weeks while in college and never told my parents. They still don’t know
5) Im afraid of heights (although Ive bungied in the Swiss Alps, and jumped out of a flying plane) and hate driving over long bridges….
I wont pay this forward, as I see most everyone I know has already been tagged
