Five Fun Facts About Ellie

This is only my second blogger meme (read my first and this one too), so I'm still pretty excited about these things. In particular, this meme.

To get you up to speed - what happens with these blogger memes is that a blogger will write a post like "6 Reasons Why I Blog" or "Five Fun Facts About Me" and "tag" a number of other bloggers (by mentioning them by name and linking to their blogs) so that they follow in suite.

Well, Mike Volpe tagged me (and the rest of our awesome marketing department) in the "Five Fun Facts" meme. So here goes:

Five Fun Facts About Me

  1. When I was younger, I wrote and illustrated a number of books with my friends. I really wanted to be a cartoonist or children's book illustrator when I grew up. (By the way, I still have those books - maybe someday I'll scan them in and post them here... if I get the OK from my co-authors.)
  2. My other childhood dream was to be a mermaid. I think this had more to do with liking The Little Mermaid than (coincidentally) my last name (Mirman).
  3. I am an organizational geek. The Container Store and art supply stores are my Heaven. I am all about lists and color coding.
  4. I really enjoy learning new languages and visiting new places, but very rarely stick with any one language (I've studied at least 5 languages, but most I didn't get past the beginner level) or visit a given place more than once.
  5. Up until a few years ago, I did not eat pizza. I'm not lactose intolerant or anything, but I do not like tomato sauce and, until about halfway through college, did not go anywhere near pizza. Still, all my pre-college friends would, without a doubt, drop their jaws to see me eat pizza. (I started eating pizza again about halfway through college because not eating pizza is almost as crazy-sounding to a college student as not eating chocolate. Rest assured, I do eat chocolate.)

As for the tagging, I'll let you, my readers, do the work for me... those of you who want to jump in on this meme, go ahead and blog about it and leave a link to your post in the comments below. (What a fun little way to learn more about each other...)
