I've been triple tagged for this one (Suze, Juliana, and pen & purl) so here it goes.
Obligatory Rules
Each person tagged gives seven random facts about themselves. Those tagged need to write on their blogs seven facts, as well as the rules of the game. You need to tag seven others and list their names on your blog. You have to leave those you plan on tagging a note in their comments so they know that they have been tagged and need to read your blog.
The list:
1. I'm double jointed in both thumbs. Mostly this is just annoying when trying to do certain things, such as playing musical instruments.
2. I've always had a lot of music in my life and play several instruments- piano, clarinet, guitar, some bass clarinet, drumline in school (cymbal) and dabbled in saxophone. I miss having a piano and now that we have a house have been obsessively checking Craigslist for one.
3. I really really want to take belly dancing and/or fencing classes. I know, seemingly odd combination but have wanted too for a long time. I've looked up places in the area and should really just do it.
4. My family really wasn't that crafty that I can remember. My mom sewed a little and did crochet for a short bit but I never learned. My grandmother seemed to have a traumatic experience with an argyle sock way back when and that was that. I did a lot of crafts in Camp Fire growing up though, although not knitting.
5. Until about 4 years ago I'd lived my entire life within about a one mile radius (that's actually 4 different places too) but really just by chance - had not intended it. I was very happy to Get Out but still feel like I'm "new here".
6. I love language and linguistics, could go on and on about structure (er, I mean ones other than English). Mr. PieKnits speaks 6 languages which apparently I think is a lot cooler than he does. I studied Japanese in school although not as much as I'd have liked. Now I'm working on learning Telugu (Mr. P's native Indian language) and really like it. I can read and write the entire script but learning material is a bit rare unfortunately so it's slow going. Ironically it's spoken by about 75 million people, just not much outside of his home state.
7. In college my roommates and I cut our own hair (poor students) and I have since made a vow to Never Ever cut anyone's hair again. The boy tried to get me to trim a little piece once and I adamantly refused, you do not want to let me near scissors and hair. (Although cutting off my dreadlocks myself had been fun, yep you read right)
Ok, I don't think there's many left who haven't been tagged for this. So let's do it in reverse- if you feel like considering yourself tagged leave me a comment so I can read yours. I think they're bizarrely interesting.
And because pictureless posts are no fun - bobbins two and three (which I'm still working on)

These are some little 1 oz samplers I had, thinnest I've ever spun for sure.
