Discovering Arni

Let's pretend for a second that we are in a nice terrace overlooking the garden enjoying a cup of coffee (while the baby is sleeping) to catch up. Miss B of Bobochic nominated me a few days ago to share a few random things about me. Check out hers here. I can't wait to find out about yours too.

A Leftie. I'm left-handed and I can write with my right hand too. I can also write upside down. It was a clever trick to amuse clients during meetings. :)
It’s difficult to get my 100% attention in a conversation. I have a very short attention span.
I have mastered the art of pretending to listen but don’t be fooled. :) I was eventually sent to attend a seminar called, "The Art of Listening." --which was really helpful by the way.
Absent-minded and often daydreaming, always ask me three times when I say ‘yes’ to your question, if I really meant it, especially when I’m doing something.
I won an award- Most Talkative Person in kindergarten class for not listening to the teacher and going from one table to another, which was weird because I'm really quite reserved.
I got in trouble and was sent to the principal's office when I was a kid for using the boys bathroom all the time. I always wondered why the boys screamed whenever I entered.
I like the adrenalin rush of presenting on stage in front of a big audience and talk. It scares me, but I always get such a rush afterwards.
Yet, it’s so funny how I feel anxious socializing or networking in a cocktail party with people I don’t know.
I'm a licensed architect, but didn't really practice it until I got into Interior Design. I'm so glad I took Architecture. It's a great foundation for what I am doing now.
I avoid any sport activities that involve BALLS..or any sport where balls bounce back (that includes shuttlecocks too). Balls hate me, they always land on my face.
I can sleep anywhere immediately, even inside the plane or a moving bus. I can fall sleep sitting down and in less than a minute.
Almost stage actress. When I was 22, I auditioned in a professional theatre while I was looking for a job, and won the lead role to perform as an adulterous woman doomed to be murdered by her famous artist husband. I turned it down because I had to appear half naked on stage in a steamy bed scene with lots of torrid kissing. Eeew..
My first big theatre performance on stage was when I was 13, as a seductive dancer performing flamenco in a high school musical play called, "In Gay Havana" by Baker.
A frustrated dancer. I've always wanted to pursue dancing and was invited to join a professional dance group performing on TV after that play, but I was not allowed by my parents for fear of affecting my studies.
I was a strict lacto-vegetarian and at some point pure vegan for 7 years.
After 7 years, I decided to buy one Big Burger King Whopper one day and started eating meat again.
One of my greatest accomplishments today was learning to install the baby car seat for my first day out with my little one at the mall alone. She's a mall rat in the making. She was incredibly well behaved and seemed to have enjoyed shopping a lot.
