I've been tagged

Amanda, sorry I'm late on this one!

Rules:
Once tagged, you must link to the person who tagged you. Then post the rules before your list, and list 8 random things about yourself. At the end of the post, you must tag and link to 8 other people, visit their sites, and leave a comment letting them know they've been tagged.

1. One of my mother's nickname's for me was vaca (Spanish for cow). Her other nicknames for me were "Your Majesty" or "Queen Elizabeth".
2. I was named Liz because of "Liz" Taylor. Maryland was originally going to be my first name.
3. I don't know how to drive. Or ride a bike. Or swim.
4. I hold a first degree black belt in Bujinkan Budo taijutsu.
5. I used to have a crush on Carl Sagan as a little girl.
6. I'm really, really afraid of bugs.
7. I have a hard time making eye contact. Growing up I was taught that it was confrontational to make eye contact with anyone.
8. I played a slave girl who brings King Herod women to choose his bride from in a Purim play. In the South Bronx. In a predominantly Hispanic and African-American school.

I tag Adina, Kelly, Rich, Chris, Mike, Sandy, Mark and Jen.

Your turn!

How can I say no? You might do something like post less! Heaven forbid -- if you post less, I'll never hear from you again! LOL

BTW -- I don't know if you got the message, but David toasted my old cell phone that contained your phone number. And when I say toasted, I mean put into the toaster... so yes, I can tell you from personal experience that the t-mobile Dash DOES melt.
