Even though I see the resemblence to ‘Facebook’ meme’s in this, I think that Andrew Hay had a great idea with this! I’m going to keep mine a little more professional-ish related, but it’s a great way to learn oddities about people within my professional-social network.

Without further a due: The Andrew Hay “5 Things You Might Not Know About…” project.

The rules:

1. Create a blog post with the title “5 Things You Might Not Know About YOURNAME” (where YOURNAME is your first and last name).
2. List 5 things that people may or may not know about you (it can be anything really).
3. “Tag” 5 other people to do the same via the blog post, twitter, facebook, or all of the above.
4. See what happens.

So here are the 5 Things You Might Not Know About Erin ‘SecBarbie’ Jacobs:

1. I taught myself to read and type in HEX in college in order to talk about my professors while in class. (I’m not nearly as fluent as I used to be, but I should practice.)
2. I only function on 2 – 4 hours of sleep or 7-9 hours of sleep… anything in-between that and I’m worthless.
3. I used to write text files (stories <wink-wink>) to upload to BBS’s to gain DL credits. This was all well and good until my mother found some print-outs of them and told me after-school that she ‘disposed of some writings of mine’
4. I used to be a ballerina, took ballet, jazz, tap, and modern dance from age 3 until I was 15 (I hated it).
5. I don’t drink soda at all.

Hopefully this gets the ball rolling. I’m going to tag the following people in the hopes that they join in on the insanity: Damon Cortesi, Ed Bellis,  Zach Lanier, Nicolle Neulist, and Jack Daniel.
