8 Random Things About Me

1. I was an Episcopalian for 10 years.
2. I am related to Robert Fulton (the guy who invented the steam boat).
3. I am related to Charlemagne. (Yeah, my aunt's genealogy research is worth 2 "random things!")
4. I am a cantor at Mass.
5. I can curl my tongue.
6. When I was little, I wanted to be a nun to avoid ever needing to use any math in life.
7. For quite a number of years, I had no clothes dryer.
8. I have no dishwasher now.

I tag Carmel, AutumnRose and anyone else who wants to do it.

  5. It is genetic, along with things like attached or detached earlobes and widow's peak hairline. You were probably taught it by a nun who didn't want to learn Math. LOL. Seriously, I learned it in Biology andit wasn't a nun. It was the "cat lady". Remember her? Oh, and btw, I too can curl my tongue!!!

  7. lol from a geneticist!

    I am terrible at maths, but for some reason studied genetics (and yes, lifeisgreattac, those are all genetic!) and to my horror it involves maths!!! don't know where I went wrong there...

    it's interesting, my dad and brother can curl their tongues but I cant...must have missed out on that gene!

    interesting facts- I have been tagged with something similar, but am yet to get round to it!

    God Bless
