seven random things, no more and no less

diane tagged me with the "seven random things about yourself" meme:

i have a theatre degree. people used to be more impressed with that when i was an "instructional technology consultant."
after i graduated i ran a summer theatre company in pennsylvania and hated it so much i decided i would never move east of kansas again and i would stay with computers rather than theatre. but now i really miss theatre.
when i was younger i owned the world's sweetest doberman who never did anything to anyone but whose mere presence would scare kids who liked to pick on me.
i went to school in a 1-room schoolhouse in the mountains for a year. i loved that place, even if i was just one of two fifth graders. that's where i started getting interested in computers, playing oregon trail & lemonade stand on the apple ][.
one summer i was taking violin lessons and learning how to ride a motorcycle. the motorcycle totally won.
i was going to transfer to a different college based on a dream i had until one of my journalism instructors sat me down and showed me i could graduate in just one more semester. "unless you go to harvard, nobody cares where you get your bachelor's degree," he said.
for whatever reason, almost every xbf i've ever had has ended up in portland at some point.

okay, now i tag... sven, shelley, jeffrey, mph, markalope, alesia & melanie sage!
