Ken Mueller, of XPN fame and the blog, I Threw a Brick Threw a Window, tagged me for the "7 Weird Things Meme" in where I tell you seven things about me, some of them weird, unusual or perhaps just unexpected. I usually prefer to answer questions as opposed to free-throwing you random information, but here goes nothing:
- I have had seven full-time jobs and at least four part-time jobs since I graduated college, including my current job. My longest standing position has been my column, Out with Sara, which I've been writing in a freelance capacity for The Patriot-News since June 2003. I have sold clothes, "beer"tended, raised funds, spammed - but mostly, I have found writing in nearly all of these positions - radio commercials, news releases, blast e-mails, fliers, articles, print ads, newsletters, customer service correspondence, annual reports and probably more.
- I'm a morning person. This is really only "weird" because I'm a nightlife writer. And I do like being up (relatively) late, too. My mom taught me early, "miss the morning, miss the day." I'm also not much of a napper. If there was something you could take that could keep you up all the time and not affect your health, I'd take it. Because, despite being a morning person, I am sometimes inspired at 2 a.m., and my almost-30-year-old body doesn't like functioning on only 4+ hours anymore. The point to this was actually that I love early mornings when the world is still so quiet. Also, it is the best time to hit the grocery store, although they don't serve hot dogs that early. It's a tough call.
- I can count to 10 in five languages. However, that counts English and Latin.
- In fifth grade, I took it upon myself to look up books of plays in library, photocopy those of interest, audition classmates and direct them in performances in front of the rest of the school.
- From elementary school through high school, I played the flute, the piano and took ballet, jazz, tap and modern dance. As soon as my feet are fully healed, I'm going back to dance (performed in a recital as recent as a year and a half ago), and someday I hope to reteach myself the piano.
- More than 50 percent of the time, I don't listen to anything in the car - no radio, no CDs, no iPod.
- As much as I love so many varieties and ethnic styles of food (and really, I like everything from sushi to Thai to steak (medium rare) to pasta to Korean ... the list goes on and on), I'm fairly certain I could live on good bread and milk (and wine).
