I'm it!

I got tagged yesterday to complete the Seven Random Things meme... so here goes.

1. I sort the silverware in our dishwasher. And everything points "up" except for scary sharp knives, which point "down" for what I think are obvious reasons. To me, this process makes incredibly logical sense - it saves me time when emptying the dishwasher... but most people just think I'm a little nutty. PoTAYto, PoTAHto.

2. I love school supplies. Notebooks (especially pretty ones), pens, binders, paper, highlighters...

3. By the time I was 25 years old, I'd been to Ireland, England, France (twice), Belgium, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Germany... and Canada. Still never been to Mexico. Or anywhere else that's not fairly "western cultury."

4. I can't have nail polish on my fingernails - I pick at it and within days (sometimes hours) it looks horrendous. Even clear nail polish.

5. My full name is spelled Katharine (like Katharine Hepburn, although I wasn't "named after" her). It's been spelled wrong consistently my whole life... but I still like that it's spelled that way.

6. The first two years Mark and I were married, we lived in a teeny apartment in a residence hall at MSU - I was a grad student with an assistantship supervising the RAs in that hall. It was crazy, but fun.

7. The second toe on my left foot is longer than the big toe... and on my right foot, the second toe is the appropriate, slightly smaller size. Dunno what's up with that.

So there ya go. Seven Random and Wildly Interesting Things. I hope it has lent you all some fabulous and extensive insight into my personality. *smile*
