5 Things You Probably Don't Know About Me!

I've been tagged by One Million and Beyond to list out 5 things that you probably don't know about me. Although I have some things listed about me on my "About Me" page, I'll list some other things here. So here goes:

1) I'm tall. I stand about 6'6. I also weigh 265 pounds. It makes it difficult to find fashionable clothes sometimes. While I absolutely love being tall, one time I received 6 staples in my head after running into the top of a door. (There was no drinking involved, just plain clumsiness).

2) I am a Southern California native. I spent one year of college in Rhode Island, in a year that was considered one of the worst snowfall years on record. It was cold. With that and some other reasons I finished my last 3 years of college in Southern California.

3) I like to travel, even if it is just for a weekend. I haven't gone international yet, but will be this summer. I did a lot of roadtrips as a kid from California, through Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Kansas, Colorado, Utah and Nevada. I don't mind going to the same places twice as I find new things to do. As a matter of fact, I'm currently writing this from our hotel in Chicago (a place I've been 3 times now in the last 5 years).

4) I have attempted to eat a 72 ounce steak at the Big Texan Steak Ranch. After being put up on stage at the restaurant, I completed the entire meal with the exception of 11 ounces of steak. Because it is free if you finish, I had to fork over $54. I felt bloated for about 3 days.

5) I really like Chinese food. My work is located in a primarily Asian neighborhood and my firm does a lot of work in China requiring some employees to speak Mandarin. Because of this I spend a fair amount of my lunches eating at Chinese places. This isn't Panda Express either, it is places where menu's sometimes aren't in English.

I think a lot of bloggers have already done this, so I won't tag anyone else to do it!
