Robert<\/a> tagged me, and I’ve been procrastinating on a ‘stuff I did in 2008’ post, and this seems more fun anyway. Here goes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I’ve never seen the Grateful Dead in concert, despite graduating from the University of Oregon. Yes, I attended before Jerry died.<\/li>\n
  2. I started college as a Chemistry major, intending to switch my major to musical performance.<\/li>\n
  3. I competed in a Junior Miss pageant in high school. I wore spandex and danced a synchronized routine to ‘Tusk’, by Fleetwood Mac. I played a violin solo. I lost.<\/li>\n
  4. The last time I played the violin publicly was about five years ago for my friend Amy’s orchestra, essentially a chamber orchestra that was a several-month experiment in improvisation with many musicians from the Portland area. The project was a collection of songs she wrote about eight artists and performers that inspired her. The performance was also a release party for the book DIY in PDX<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. I once unwillingly spent the night in a Venice convent.<\/li>\n
  6. I made another ‘I am not a douchebag<\/a>‘ bag for the family Christmas party gift. I’ve made three, one of which I was actually paid (“commissioned” hah!) to make.<\/li>\n
  7. In 2008, I managed to increase my houseplant count from 0 to 4. All are still living as of this blog post. My chicken count went from 3 to 1.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Tagged: <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Gabrielle Roth<\/a>, because she rules<\/li>\n
    2. Mark Wong<\/a> – since he started the P5 series last week!<\/li>\n
    3. Emilie Steele<\/a>, because we didn’t get a chance to talk nearly enough last year at PgCon<\/li>\n
    4. Magnus Hagander<\/a>, because he should blog more and he hasn’t responded to Robert’s tag yet<\/li>\n
    5. Andy Lester<\/a>, because his book rocks, and lots of people are going to need it this year<\/li>\n
    6. Nikolay Samokhvalov<\/a>, because I hear such great things about PostgreSQL.ru and want to visit him in Moscow someday for a Bruce-Momjian-Style tour\n
    7. Josh Berkus<\/a>, just for fun and because he is blogging more these days! \ud83d\ude42\n<\/ol>\n

      the rules: <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Link your original tagger(s), and list these rules on your blog.<\/li>\n
      2. Share seven facts about yourself in the post – some random, some weird.<\/li>\n
      3. Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.<\/li>\n
      4. Let them know they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and\/or Twitter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
