I have been tagged. Thanks to my amiga, Vicki. Good thing the tag doesn't require you to act within 24 hours or be shot at down, or contract a rare virus, or lose the love of your life, etc. or I would be in bad shape.
The rules are:
Once you have been tagged you can't be re-tagged, you have to write a blog with 10 weird random things, facts, or habits about yourself. At the end, you choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave a comment that says "you are tagged" on their profile and tell them to read your latest blog.
1. I hate it when people plant plastic flowers in their outdoor flower beds. Like we can't tell they are fake.
2. I do not watch movies that end sad. Period. My philosophy being that life has enough sadness, cinema should be an ESCAPE from it. (BTW - this drives my movie-loving husband crazy.)
2. On the same line of thinking....I have a basic annoyance with "chick flicks." Not that I don't watch them at all, but I think they paint romance with a VERY rose-colored brush. I mean, how many real guys do you know that will declare their fascination with your eyes, lips, hair, etc. in a Romeo/Juliet-esque soliloquey? None. That's what I thought. Influences girls/women to expect more from their significant other than they can live up to. I mean, I don't look like Nicole Kidman, so why should I expect Andy to live up to Matthew McConaughey? Unfair. Anyway, I find myself rolling my eyes during those tender scenes of reconciliation after what is usually a very stupid misunderstanding.
3. On a lighter note, (haha - pun INTENDED!) I tend to sing stupid songs when I am happy. They are usually extremely random and repetitive. This morning it was, "I'm a little Teapot." More recently it had been a thoroughly southern gospel selection of "Just a Little Talk with Jesus." (Don't ask me why the base line just kept rolling through my head, over and over and over and over....I don't even LIKE southern gospel generally!)
4. My car is messy. Inside and out. Always. Andy's is too. We both want clean cars but are unable to achieve it. (Mine is better than his though.)
5. I hate kickball. I was never athletic in school and it brings back feelings of being picked late in the selection.
6. I love bees. Not buzzing bees, but trivia contests. I won the school spelling bee twice and placed twice. I won the reading bee in 3rd grade. I placed 2nd in the geography bee in the 5th grade. Woo hoo! Go me.
7. I am a documentary-junkie. National Geographic and the History Channel kick butt. I know.....I am way dull.
8. I think that on average, I would generally rather talk to guys than girls. Or, maybe I should rephrase and say that I would rather talk with girls who have opinions on subjects that MATTER than girls that want to talk about what brand of flip-flop they prefer. (Seriously, I was at a party recently and they discussed flip-flops for an hour. I felt SO out of place.) If I must make small talk, I would rather it be about something of interest, i.e., current events, politics, heck, even religion.
9. I am extremely texture sensitive. I can't stand the way that mushrooms feel - not the taste, just the texture. Same goes with soggy bread. Same goes for using a paper towel to clean up a mess - I never use it to its full capacity - gets too wet and nasty. The list could go on and on and on.
10. I make lists. Lots of lists. I lose them a lot of times, but I find that the act of writing out my to do's helps me remember them. One time Andy bought me this cool book that was full of suggested list-topics and blank lines underneath. I so need to find that book.
Okay. Not as bad as I thought it would be either. Only took me a week to getting around to doing it. Ten more people to tag......Jennifer Maddox, Carrie, The artist formerly known as Aditha a/k/a Cher, Leah, Angie, Sarah, Josh Watford, Julie, Morgan, and Jeanna.
