yikes! i've been tagged by natalie of altruism in the morning. my first tagging! such an honor!

so here's the rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself: some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them).
4. Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment at their blogs.

seven facts about myself:
1. i am from the northcountry in the land of 10,000 (more like 11,00 okay?) lakes. this means a town so small i graduated high school with about 36 people. great fun.
2. i'm a little ocd about other people loading the dishwasher. i'm a virgo, so things need to be straight. you can get so much more in the load if there's a system. it's like tetris and i like it.
3. i enjoy classic rock. there i said it. one summer in high school i listened to nothing but the classic rock station on the radio, and i was hooked. give me some good creedence or some zeppelin any day.
4. i have a cat called stella. she's pretty much the best cat in the world. this is a cat who have turned cat haters into stella lovers. she has a cowboy hat and is an all around good dude.
5. i play kickball wednesday nights through parks and rec. our team's the bloody noses, we're five or six seasons strong and kick with our feet.
6. grain belt premium is my beer. while i am tempted by a good hefeweizen or a midnight express martini, i always go back to the primo.
7. i washed dishes in a mexican restaurant the summer i was fourteen. i learned to ride my bike with no hands and would ride home at the end of my shift eating a fried ice cream in a 16 oz. to go coke cup. extra whipped cream, duh.

and i tag thee:
