A Challenge. . .

So, this morning, I come in to find the following message from my boss:

"When/if you have time, would you e-mail me 5 interesting facts about yourself that the rest of us are unlikely to know about you?"

After spending most of the morning thinking about it (between other projects, of course), I came up with the list below (I even sent it to Shane, just to make sure that it met the "interesting" criteria LOL):

1) There is great debate among members of my family, but my first word may (or may not) have been "necklace". I choose to believe it was.

2) I once performed with the Carson and Barnes circus as an honorary clown. Said performance helped me overcome my fear of clowns. Unfortunately, the performance was interrupted by a tornado warning and a mad scramble for safety, resulting in an intense dislike of circuses in general. But clowns are ok now. Mostly. (I swear, it's a true story.)

3) I was in the Future Astronaut Training Program and considered attending the Air Force Academy.

4) I have a higher-than-average level of knowledge of the British royal family.

5) I am a decent shot with a handgun and have killed several very menacing targets.

So, my challenge to each of you is the same - in the comments, tell me 5 things that I might be surprised to know about you! It might be a challenge for Mom, Dad and Shane to come up with new things, but I know that we can come up with some fun things!
