I’ve been tagged by Skye, though I recall doing something similar before.

Here’s 10 things you didn’t know about me:

1. I believe the world needs more feel-good animated movies.
2. I’m the shortest in the family, a midget at 5′2″. It doesn’t help when you’re trying to be the intimidating older sibling.
3. I automatically close my eyes to walk and feel my way around during power failures that occur at night.
4. My hair grows really fast and since I love waist-length hair, I hope that never changes.
5. I need a fair amount of sauce in my pizza to truly enjoy it. I get really annoyed when they’re being too stingy with it.
6. I used to want to be a Marine Biologist when I was young and tossed the idea to my parents for a couple years before finally giving up.
7. Last year I went through a depressive¹ period where I was an anhedonic² insomniac³ who refused to be social and gained unhealthy weight. It took 7-8 months of daily exercise and portion-control to burn it off.
8. I own a pink and black ballerina gym bag from back when I was in grade 6. I use it hold the unmentionables.
9. I don’t like chocolate that has fruit/raisins in it, but I like it with nuts. Plain is best, of course.
10. I’ve become more tolerant towards trying food with ingredients I rarely like. I think it comes with growing older.

^1-3 terms loosely used; in a non-medical way.

I tag: Tammy, Luufie Moon, Charlotte, Rogelio, Philene, Faye and since I don’t have ten people to tag – anyone else who wants to do this, consider yourself tagged.

Keyboard shortcuts, I mean. The following lists are of keyboard shortcuts that I’m glad were invented – alternatively, those shortcuts I use almost on a daily basis. You probably are aware of most of them.

Earlier I used to think that Photoshop could really do with more default keyboard shortcuts. What I did not realize was that there are actually so many more.

A little reading up and I was happy to find more useful keyboard shortcuts that I know will come in handy. You may as well have a look at them yourself:
