A week ago I have been tagged by Jeff, so I’ll continue the blogosphere’s meme of early 2007 and post 5 things you possibly don’t know about me, unless we’ve met in person:
1. Like an authentic Austrian I grow up having snow under my feet. In the year I did my first steps I got my first own pair of skis too. As child I was taught skiing, as teenager I switched to snowboarding, it was just more fun. We went every free minute up to the mountains snowboarding, even in summer we spent a week or so at some glacier. Then I went abroad to study a year in Madrid. It was my first winter without any snow, actually it was no winter at all, sun was shining, weather was warm and pleasant. I completely stopped snowboarding there and did never again even a single step into snow.
2. After graduating from an engineering school I had enough of cold steel and construction and decided to study something more related to people. I chose regional and spatial planning then, ending up in the world of GIS and regional information systems. After all, I’ve made my first contact with CAD already at that engineering school.
3. I’m a cat person. Human beings can be part into cat and dog persons, so I prefer cats over dogs, always had one and I really enjoy their presence.
4. In my place you’ll always find a piece of chocolate. It makes me kind of nervous if there is no chocolate left. So If you intend to corrupt me, try it with chocolate, preferable dark Belgian chocolate.
5. Heights are not my cup of tea. Chances that you’ll see me doing a Bungee Jump are very low.
To go on I’ll tag nona Alex, nonsmoker Michael, Geograffiti Textkoch, Mr Google flat Greg and Tagzania’s Luistxo.
