My friend, Natalya, was tagged and went on to reveal seven art-related facts about herself on her blog. In turn, she tagged me. I don't think I have seven personal art-related items to share, so I'll just go with the broad brushstrokes of who I am.

1. I'm first generation American.

2. Reading is one of my passions, always has been; I was a literature and languages major in college. I read more fiction than non-fiction. I'd be hard pressed to name a favorite book of fiction -- that often depends on my mood. But two of my favorite non-fiction books are Seabiscuit and The Secret Life of Lobsters.

3. I can raise my right eyebrow like Mr. Spock on Star Trek. (I was raised with a good dose of Star Trek.)

4. I love to dance, much to the dismay of my children and the amusement of my friends. My husband just watches and chuckles, God bless him.

5. I love to eat cookies, but I don't care for chocolate.

6. Sometimes, I snort when I laugh. I laugh a lot, so I guess I snort a lot, too.

7. In high school, I was a pom-pom girl. We put on the half-time show at football and basketball games, complete with a kick-line. Just to balance out the scales, I was also a varsity athlete, playing volleyball and badminton -- hey, stop laughing .... badminton's a serious sport! When I was a senior, we won the state championship. Yeah, I guess that's hard to imagine, too.
