Bench Monday: Tagged Edition

Rick tagged me to list 10 random things about me, so here you go:

 

1. June is in 8 days... and if you followed my 365 last year, you know what that means. =) I'm going to try to participate every day in June like I did last year.

 

2. I feel bad whenever I see someone wearing jeans or pants in hot weather.

 

3. Before Eva Longoria, my celebrity crush was Kristen Johnston from the TV show "3rd Rock from the Sun".

 

4. I hate it whenever I go to a car repair shop for something simple, like an oil change, and then they do a "22-point inspection" and they tell me about things that need to be done. The last time I got my oil changed, the guy said that there was $800 worth of other repairs that were recommended (I told him not to do any of it). As a consumer, that leaves you stuck in a dilemma: you don't know whether he's telling the truth or just trying to make more profit from you, and if you try to outsmart him and not have the work done, that leaves you paranoid about what's going to happen with your car in case he was telling the truth.

 

5. My mom used to always suggest that I make photography my profession, but I've always looked at it as a hobby. There's nothing extra spectacular about the pictures I take, and as far as I'm concerned, anybody can buy a camera and take pictures. My photography is no better than any other shopper at Best Buy.

 

6. Yesterday, I went to search for 2 geocaches that I initially couldn't find back when I first started caching, and I found them. Now I have a clear conscience. =)

 

7. Currently playing on my iPod: "Incomplete" by Backstreet Boys

 

8. It's lunch time and I don't know what to have.

 

9. Next Monday starts 100 days of summer, and while I'm not promising a picture for all 100 days, I'm going to make an effort to have as many as possible. (Come join us!)

 

10. This was one of the easiest clone pictures I've made because I took the pictures with a flash due to being in the shadows. That meant there was virtually no difference in the exposure and no brightness/contrast adjustments to make. Just cut and paste. :D

 

As is the tradition, I have to tag other people so they can list 10 random things, so I'm tagging....... all my fellow HBM'ers! Yup, get to it and add a list of 10 random things to your bench picture if you haven't yet taken yours today!

 

HBM!
