10 Facts Tag!

After reading Blessing Counter's 10 Facts Tag on her blog at Counting Your Blessings One By One, I decided it would be fun for me to do this blogging tag as well! All I have to do is list ten random facts about me. So let's get right into it!

1. I have a loooow voice. Okay, so some of you might have known this but it is a random fact about me :P My range extends from about a C below Middle C (depending on how early in the day haha) to a high F (two Fs above Middle C) I sing alto in the church choir and I have been called on to assist the tenors sometimes :)
2. Speaking of music, I love musicals! My great-grandmother, great-aunt, grandmother, and mother all loved musicals and they passed their love down to me and my sister. My mother took my sister to see Beauty and the Beast (the musical version) when we were real young. Since then we've seen numerous shows. I've seen Les Miserables three times, Fiddler on the Roof, the Wizard of Oz twice (once professionally and once locally) and I've been to Sight and Sound Theaters four times.
3. Speaking of musicals, I have been in a musical! My sister and I auditioned for The Sound of Music one year and we got parts as nuns (LOL) We also got to be in the party scene as party goers! That time was so much fun for me! I had a blast at practices and during productions. We performed three times. The first production, during the part where the Von Trapps run away from the Festival (for all you Sound of Music fans out there!) all of us nuns were supposed to be listening to the "Mother Superior" while the other "head nuns" led the Von Trapps behind the iron gate to hide. Well, the iron gate FELL on the stage during the first production. It was SO loud and scared everyone. A few of the "nuns" screamed but we mostly maintained character and the gate was fixed and the show resumed normally.
4. I play the Handbells. Our church has three octaves of bells. My sister and I joined at the same time. I usually play the G, A flat, and A bells just below middle C but recently our director has us switching around and playing each of the bells!
5. I love to record acapella music! I have my own microphone and I got nice headphones for Christmas. I use an iPad app and a mic that plugs right into the headphone jack to record myself, siblings, and church friends singing songs.
6. This goes with number 6, I like video making! Sometimes when I record an acapella song, I then film myself singing each part and put it together in a "music video". I love fiddling around with computer stuff and video making is fun for me.
7. I used to play soccer! From about 10 or 11 until I was 15, I played on a rec soccer league. My dad helped coach my teams a few times. I really enjoyed it and it was a fun time :)
8. I keep two diaries. One diary I write about my daily thoughts and special events that occur to me throughout the year. The other diary I keep specifically for church related activities. Because my family is so involved with my church and my church family is basically my real family, I've taken to writing about all of the church happenings in a separate diary. My sister says I'm weird but hey, we all have our own weird quirks.
9. Staying with the church theme, I have written little mystery books about me, my sister, and three of our friends from church. My sister and I both wrote mystery books about the five of us solving mysteries that involved the church. I might end up posting one of the stories on here for you guys to read sometime...maybe...
10. Last one! My family has owned almost 40 cats. 39 to be exact! Living beside a busy road means that many of our cats (unfortunately) have not lived past one or two years old. We've had numerous litters of kittens too and we've had to give those kittens away (but always keeping at least one :D)

So there ya go! Ten random facts about me :)
