Tag, I'm IT

I've been tagged by fellow Industrial Designer, Bijoux at Keep it Simple.  Bijoux also happens to be Greek, and so it makes me wonder if we are the only two female, Greek Industrial Designers in the world?  The western world?  The Americas?  In any case, it's pretty dang cool!

Sounds simple enough, share 7 facts about yourself on your blog - some random, some weird.  Here goes:

1. I am afraid, deeply afraid of large statues.  Doing a quick image search on flickr, I wanted to add a photo of the Statue of Liberty to this post, but my palms starting sweating, and I got a little shaky even looking at pictures of that giant. 

2. I still get nervous when I see my Greek school teacher, and I haven't been to Greek school since Richard Nixon was president.  Just saw her last Sunday in church, when I was visiting my parents. And you would have thought she was the Statue of Liberty as nervous as I got. 

3. My favorite television show is Dancing with the Stars, and although I have many goals and aspirations, they all pale to my deep, deep desire to be on that show.  The depth of my aspirations spans from dancer (current) to judge (future).  I'm going to put it out here first, my real career goal, is to retire as a judge on Dancing with the Stars. 

4. If I were stranded on a desert island, with only one type of food, it would be potatoes.  Which helps explain always needing to lose ten pounds, but I'm not going to go deeper on that one here!

5. I have always had a fear of having to live in a trailer, and driving a station wagon with wood grain side panels.  It is my sincere belief that this fear was a motivating factor in my work ethic.  Work hard, earn a good living, no trailer, no wood grain.  Simple.  It's worked so far.

6. My brother won a Romper Room drawing contest, "Winnie the Pooh Discovers Chicagoland", with a drawing that I had done.  I entered the contest under his name, cause I was a year too old to officially enter.  Busted!

7. I can eat feta cheese and toast for breakfast every morning and never get bored.  A fresh cup of black coffee, my toast and feta and I am a happy Kalliope.

Kalliope,

Hello all and thank you for including me. I very much enjoyed reading this, especially the comments about Greek school and feta in the AM. I am not very good at this sort of thing but I will give it a shot as soon as I can. Enjoy your weekend.

I am reposting - I think my comment just got lost.

Thanks for visiting my blog! Sure, I'll play. I've never been tagged before...

Just thinking about Greek school will make me break out into a cold sweat! The teachers were allowed to hit us!! Nowadays they would be arrested! I had my ear pulled and my hair yanked on many occasions by Kyria Sia, for not coming prepared for class.

I'm with you on the potatoes thing. Do you think that if I stopped eating potatoes and bread the hips would disappear? hmmm...

My uncle used to have a station wagon with faux wood paneling in the early 80's LOL

As for feta, my mom's returning from Greece next week with the best feta in Greece from our Greek island of origin...I can't wait!!
