I’ve been tagged by Kellie. Once you have been tagged, you have to write a post with five facts about yourself. Then choose five people you want to tag and list their names. Then leave a comment on their blog letting them know they’ve been tagged.

One
I procrastinate. I struggle with that all the time. Hence the reason this post is two days late. While not to the degree stated here, but still a fairly good degree of it.
Two
I try and keep perspective on things. Is it worth getting bent out of shape over that stupid traffic incident? Prob, not. That’s why I’m generally easy-going about things. However, If I ever do get so riled up that I explode, my friends lovingly refer to that moment as “Going Bilbo.” You know… from that scene in Lord of the Rings where Bilbo Baggins wants to hold the ring one last time and Frodo won’t let him? Ask Steph about it… she’s seen it a couple times… the grocery store incident comes to mind…

Three
I listen to mostly electronica and trip-hop music, with a little classical thrown in. Sure I have some favorite bands like The Cure, Depeche Mode, Massive Attack and maybe Röyksopp, but the bulk of the time my XM radio is tuned to Chill 84 and The System 82.

Four
I have a horribly cluttered basement. It’s bad. I mean really bad. It’s nearly the full size of our ranch home yet filled with crap. See number One for why it hasn’t been taken care of yet. But it’s on this year’s goals, so hopefully progress towards cleaning it will be made.

Five
Even though I work with computers all day and it’s my living, the last thing I want to do at home is FIX my own computers. I just want to hop on them and DO whatever I want to do. I’m constantly frustrated by how stupidly software is designed on Windows (and sometimes Macs). (addendum: fixing friends’ computers is OK, though. While not at the tippy-top of my list of fav things to do, I do enjoy helping my friends solve their computer problems and getting them back on a stable machine.)

Now the hard part. Tagging some friends’ blogs. I’m a little embarassed to say I don’t think I have enough that haven’t already been tagged by Kellie to tally five! I’ve been delinquent in my duties at fostering my own community.

John M. (cycling buddy extraordinare)

Dani (Thank you, Kellie from not stealing her from me!)

John B. (another cycling friend, but I just see him at ultra-cycling events)

Heather (crazy local ultra-cyclist, runner, etc.) (Hmmm, after checking, Heather’s site is available through RSS in my Google Reader, but I can’t actually get to her site. Damn Blogger!)
Jill (I’m afraid I’m a lurker (bad Kurt!) on her site, but she inspires me to get outside with all is cold)
