5 Things You Don’t Know about Me
February 1, 2008 | Tagged b4echallenge, drama, meme, phobia, Woody Allen |
I’m ready for the b4echallenge. Here it goes:
- I attended kindergarten in New York City and cried every single day because I couldn’t understand what my teacher said. (See related post)
- I studied drama for seven years and performed in a play called “Wonders in the Land of the Alices”. In 1998, I decided to quit and focus on Teaching Training College since at the time I worked as a secretary and I really hated that job. I do think, however, I still channel my creativity into teaching.
- I have button phobia. Yes, that’s right! Buttons! (I don’t even like the word) People generally don’t believe me or simply laugh at me when I tell them about it, but I’ve discovered I’m not the only one. Check this out: Unusual Phobias - buttons from Unusual Phobias
- I don’t drink alcohol at all. No particular reason. I’ve simply never tried it. Oh, but I love chocolate! I’m a chocoholic. 
- I’m a big fan of Woody Allen. I love his films, especially the ones he made between 1977 and 1992 (i.e. From Annie Hall to Husbands and Wives – the classics ) When I was in 4th year in high school, we saw “Another Woman” in my Philosophy class and I’ve watched every new film he’s made ever since. (My secret dream: to be in one of his movies. Maybe I can play the role of an English teacher who lives in NYC and goes to the shrink because she has a phobia of … you know! ;))
I’m now in the hands of Technorati.
Who’s next?

Hello
Thank you for your kind words. I added you to my blogroll because when I came across your blog I thought “wow”.. it’s really impressive what you did/are doing.. So it’s an honour for me
Take care and stay inspired and inspirational for others,
Warm regards,

Dear Carla,
Although I feel so close to you, you really surprised me with your 5 things! I had no idea about them. I must say that if blogging was really special to me, now it’s even more dear, and I feel this time we’re even going further with such meaningful, deep, engaging reflections. I feel blessed and totally in awe to have found my clone! Button phobia?! I laughed. Funny girl! And you want to be one of those deep women in Woody Allen’s film, huh? That was an amazing discovery about you.
Button phobia? Wow! I never thought such a disease existed! But then i always swore i would never become a teacher because i didn’t like speaking in public (and still don’t, btw). To this day, I fear I’m a bit agoraphobic. Big crowds, jostling and elbowing each other make me anxious. And big groups of students have the same effect!
and another fellow chocoholic! what is it about us galls and chocolate? hm?
And yeah, i’ve taken a look at the great-grandmother of all bloggers! what an inspiration! couldn’t read it all, my spanish is not that proficient but i understand perfectly that fear of the unknown!
thank you for everything and a big hug from romania,
