Tag! You're it!!

OK, so a good friend of mine has tagged me with an blog-assignment. I have to share 5 things about myself that nobody knows, then tag 5 people with the same assignment.

1. I am confused.
- I live life trying to be as confident as possible, but a lot of times I feel forgetable (it's amazing how few people recognize me after a long time apart) and ashamed that I haven't been able to accomplish more.

2. My hobby is a distraction from what I really need/want.
- I built a fishroom and have 14 aquariums to keep me busy so that I forget about all of the wonderful things that I don't want to do because they're hard and have caused me alienation. I'm still alienated, but at least my hobby is "normal".

3. Deleted on behalf of Mother-in-law...

4. I'm shallow.
- I think #3 gives that away. I enjoy deep conversations, but I've let quite a few friendships go because I didn't care enough to really go deep with them. Most days I think I'm becoming more like everyone else - we're all a bunch of shallow assholes!

5. I hate work.
- OK, that's not a secret. But, really. When I take 3+ days off from working - actual job stuff - I feel alive. Unfortunately, just living doesn't pay the bills. I do enjoy my line of work, but I'm not sure if I've found that magical job - you know, waking up and hardly being able to wait 'til you go to work?

So, people to tag:

1. The Winters (yes, both!)
2. Jenn (my partner in crime)
3. M (the anonymous commentor - now you need to start a blog!)
4. Noah (don't be a stick in the mud, just do it!)
5. Emily (what's life overseas like, really?)

6. Canopians (I know, I'm only supposed to do 5, but here's something to stretch you)
